Anywhere not banning lemmygrad is probably an OK place.

Everyone else, if not purely technical instances, are mostly replicating politics in a way that hurts humanity as a whole.

I just miss grouping channels together to have curated independent feeds. They removed it for algorithm based shit.

Sharpen yourself and yours skills to take part in a revolutionary movement close to you.

You can fight capitalism by being better and stronger than all of them. And putting that skill to good use. It requires a balanced healthy life to keep yourself studying improving your understanding, and acting!

Getting out of bed, taking care of your life, and still volunteering to build something better for everyone else! That shit is hard, it requires a powerful mind, a powerful body, and a powerful, revolutionary spirit.

I’m on the gym right now, fueled by classist rage by a communist historian commenting on public speech by a liberal economy minister.

It works pretty well.

12 years here. Few thousand karma. Fuck the corporate shit.

Looks like a repost. I’m up voting it.

Probably the same kind of tool general population would need to take down capitalism itself.

But you won’t see this because your instance censors mine.

But also, why is not Christianism and Judaism and Capitalism together with Islam and Buddhism and Communism?

But neoliberalism is definitely a cult!

Interestingly enough, their physiotherapist has incorporated acupuncture techniques into the practice.

You see. Patients with chronic pain will try everything. Sometimes at the same time. Scientific, traditional, experimental… They are “happy” to be test subjects, because pain is just too depressing. And after common medicine fails for enough years, maybe the tradeoff of becoming a test subject and discussing the issue with more peers is worth it.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with everything you said, I’m just exposing another perspective on the theme.

These reads are great, but so long!

I just learned how to use https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.danefinlay.ttsutil/ to generate a wav file with audio from text, https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.caydey.ffshare/ to encode it to mp3 and https://pocketcasts.com/ (sorry, no FOSS here) to control play.

So that I can listen to it while doing mindless work. Maybe those instructions cna be useful for more people. :)

I think everyone here agrees numerology is a scam with zero scientific evidence.

What does lemmygradians think of traditional Chinese medicine?

The scientific reasoning behind specifically acupuncture and cupping sound 100% like bullshit to me, but anecdotally it works for relieving chronic pain for my partner. Go figure.

Well, shit. The one nonprofit I trusted. :(

Where should my annual $3 charity budget go, now?!

But also, didn’t Greenwald go for a too long of a walk into conspiracyland?

How would this community see a restoration of hammer and sickle in Ukraine by Putin’s Russia?

It’s funny how people in the west can’t imagine on their wildest dreams an actually competent government that won’t just be controlled to make things easier for their rich elite (the bourgeoisie, for the well informed).

I’m finding logseq very interesting.

FOSS and filesystem based. But you have to figure out sync yourself. I’m setting it up with syncthing, but I’ll have to replace it with git because I need it to work across ios and android systems.

Sounds like a dream. ❤️

A link for the masses: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/10/authority.htm

My argument was not against authority, my argument was against oppression against minorities.

Which concepts would you use to make the argument against oppressing minorities?

The parallel I was trying to draw was about minority abstract fights, without class theory becomes identitarism. But a “socialist” fight without concern for minorities, runs the risk of becoming fascism, on the limit, running purely on dogma, tradition, majority, and rigidity.

Is that disagreeable? Am I mixing up concepts? What am I missing?

I can agree racism exists before capitalism.

I can agree socialism isn’t the cure for racism or sexism. And I believe everyone in this forum will condemn any form of socialism that marginalises minorities, either for race, or gender, or any other oppressed minorities.

“socialism” without concern for minorities drifts into the authoritarian regimes we know are shit. But also, minority fights without class theory will just make a few individuals from each minority group slightly better, without actually improving material life conditions for most, if not all, people.

But… I mean, I’m just kind of freestyling the theory I “know”. Fuck racists, fuck capitalists, fuck racist capitalists and capitalist racists. :)

I understand your rage. Just please, try to push your knowledge a little deeper.

Not all white individuals are colonialists, and I’m not a white person, by the way.

Some individuals, sure, white, I’d give it to you, did describe it. But those individual intellectuals were the counter-thinkers to white colonialists. Would you agree with me about it?

Scapegoats are always different. And the individuals directing the public opinion, the people you just called colonialists, we, here, at lemmygrad, call capitalists. They are the same. The rich minority, controlling the means of productions and the public opinion thought the media they control, creating escape goats, one at a time. That’s one of the products of fascism. The capitalists are just above it, seeding and using fascism against the minorities your mention.

Fascism is stupidity and ignorance. The capitalists are the brains behind it, using it to their advantage.

We hate the same people, me and you, we just call them different names. But you don’t have to, they have been the same for a good while, let’s just agree with a precise definition and terminology to avoid raging at the abstract.

Rage at the specific! It’s hard, that’s why we write so much! And that’s why we call them capitalists.
