Well that wasn’t very Mr Rogers of them

Imo the old Macintosh design is the 1969 VW Beetle/ bus of computers. ✌️☮️🌼

Well that wasn’t very Mr. Rogers of you, please be kind here.

Ah, still this wouldn’t really apply because the workers/ people don’t own this mode of production because, so they can’t give it up.

The people you are thinking of are the ~400 individuals who own the means of product, and you are correct that they won’t willingly give that up.

Also “Does that mean the people want to give up the means of production?” assumes the people own the means of production which would be communism and/or anarchism. Not sure what they think the means of production is or if it’s just a buzzword they hoped to toss in there.

“However that’s not a conversation that’s necessary this very second”

“Trust me bro we won’t kill you immediately afterwards, just do what helps us and you’ll be fine, trust me bro”

Kinda feels like what the DNC told Bernie supporters the past 10 years.

The thing is historically leftists ally with anarchists until they get power and then they execute the anarchists. They want unity as long as it’s convenient for their agenda, but that’s true of any philosophy that encourages power structures of any kind.

I think I’m slowly becoming an anarchist because of this.

Companies won’t save us.

The government won’t save us.

501©(3)s won’t save us.

We have to save us.

There are things you can do to perform everyday anarchy. Create communities with your book club, then create welfare by leveraging said book club to create a mutual fund, or a food bank, or god help us a militia (look up operation blazing sword for training bipoc and LGBTQ folks in firearms and self defense).

Don’t wait for someone to give you permission to survive. Sic semper tyranus.

Screenshot of a text convo in the screenshot of a Twitter post in a post on Lemmy- I’m holding you to account reallykindasorta. This rests solely on your broad, muscular shoulders. Quite frankly there’s no way to wash your rugged yet tender hands of this mess, and I for one won’t stand for it.

They told me the devil would be beautiful.

There was a 32 minute period from initial text to the first response, and then the whole thing was over by minute 3.

That certainly didn’t kill an hour. That’s like 35 minutes. Something’s not right.

I’d go so far as to say OP is a liar. I bald faced full lipped green eyed strong jawed curly haired liar who broke my heart and will do so again.

Can’t trust people. People listen to Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. Can’t trust em.

Yea, I made a post to my people to come to the fediverse. While we have capitalist and communist forums, ultimately the fediverse sits in the anarchist camp.

I like it because I’m suspicious of tankies and hate musk fucks. A nice 3rd option.

“my politics are fiscally liberal, socially terrifying”

Latex is a left wing kink (restriction of rights)

Custard pies are right wing (impurity)

Smoking is left wing unless it’s American Spirits

Being trod in with stilettos is right wing (fem Dom)

Wearing a diaper is right wing if a man does it, left wing if a woman does it (gender infantalization)

Last night I whispered “supply side economics” into her ear and she said “you’re a fucking freak”

Oh yea, he never turned off his mic. Pretty sure I heard his mom come down with tang and Oreos and he cussed her out

Okay but here me out, what if we 10^43 more monkeys to balance out the speed?

In fact, let’s push this to an extreme. We get enough monkeys that their mass turns them all into one black hole. Inside the black hole, the laws of physics get all fucked. Next we need to somehow dissolve the event horizon as explained in This Kurzgesagt video. Once that happens and we are left with a bare singularity, anything can pop out of it, including a copy of Hamlet.

The monkeys, however, will very likely be dead.

I think a huge misstep of the original argument is “career politician bad”. Biden is seen as a one man “dynasty” because he has ~50 years of experience. Obama and Clinton are only seen as dynasties because they had active First Ladies so there’s a “power couple” image.

I think it’s fair to say there are political dynasties- the Kennedy’s, the Bushes- and it makes sense that they will tend to happen naturally. If my dad was president of the United States, at the age of 12 I’d have a much better understanding of the Washington Political Machine than most people.

Usually when we think of “Outsider” candidates, we think of people who have 0 government experience who enter the arena. Notice that Trump isn’t mentioned in the post. Ofc Trump was as embedded in the Washington establishment as much as anyone else when he ran in 2016, having ran for president previously and using the ol’ “wine and dine” method generously to help him get a leg up in business.

I personally don’t think it’s a bad thing to have a ton of experience in getting a lot of people to do one thing together- oddly enough that’s an INCREDIBLY HARD THING TO DO. We need all sorts of people in politics in order to represent the people accurately. The Tim Walz’s and AOC’s in congress brought so much to the table- they know what it’s like to grow up as the everyday American. The Biden’s and the Pelosi’s have been removed from that world for so long it’s understandable they might not have the most accurate picture of modern American life, but they do have the deep understanding for how to get things done. In Biden’s single term, he has outpaced most presidents in getting legislation passed. I remember being optimistic in 2020 hoping Biden would be a modern LBJ, and by gum I think ol’ Joe did it.

Do you live in the American Frontier of 1840? Gonna need to build that cabin fast if you plan on making it through winter.
