It was both, fellow worker.

We need a diversity of tactics. The literature describes a “radical flank effect” where the radical and moderate wings of social movements mutually benefit.

Twitter is not a free platform. It actively suppresses the voices of the left and protects the far right.

I do sincerely support free speech. I think it looks a lot more like the Fediverse than Twitter.

Costly signaling

*Hits the Blessed Waterpipe of Panaji*

Under Trinitarianism, God would be a they/them, because they’re literally several people.

According to the common understanding of the doctrine of virgin birth, Mary got impregnated through the Holy Spirit rather than The Father rawdogging her. This suggests that the Holy Spirit is a dick and thus probably male.

The Father is, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, not a man or a woman. That being said, neither Hebrew nor Aramaic nor Koine Greek have gender-neutral pronouns (except perhaps calling The Father “it” in Koine Greek, which would be hilarious but sadly would not be approved of by a killjoy like Paul).

“Then at the end of the week you have a free Big Mac”

You buy a Big Mac once a day?

We do this in Ireland

Thanks, fellow worker

Can someone please explain? I don’t get it.

The Americans should probably nationalise SpaceX, or at least buy out a controlling percentage of the shares.

It’s to benefit the owners

I interact with enough tankies to tell you in advance.

In the view of tankies, Russia isn’t imperialist due to some weaseling with how they define imperialism in economic terms.

The US, on the other hand, is as imperialist in tankies’ minds as it is in reality.

Thus, to to them, Russia is waging an anti-imperialist war with the long-term goal of establishing a “multi-polar” world.

Thus, the tankie conclusion is that NK is heroically sending in the soldiers to help fight imperialism.

I see no need to try and explain why this is wrong. That’s left as an exercise for the reader.

A good thing imo

*cognitohazard unless it is contagious

To be fair, the name Antifa is used pretty much exclusively by radical anti-authoritarian left groups.

The libs don’t organise into black blocs to beat up fascists, they write to their congressman to ask for stricter hate speech laws.

The tankies, despite creating the first group to call itself AFA, don’t participate in them much in the modern day because they try to subordinate such things to their party, which goes against the decentralized ethos of what most people call Antifa.

This leaves anarchists, libcoms, and a small smattering of demsocs and Trots. Thus it is completely fair to refer to “Antifa” as a left-wing phenomenon.

We do. DB0 and Solarpunk.

Maybe I’m just bitter that my city doesn’t have a proper metro. I’m still fairly grateful though. My home town had no public transportation at all.

Embrace trams, the worst of all worlds

An invitation to “Learn Olbanian!” was directed at Madonna in 2006, when in her blog she used an electronic translator to address her Russian fans and called them “Russian ventilators” by mistake [3] (i.e. by confusing “fan (person)” and “fan (machine)”, while the latter is ventilyator in Russian).

It’s a cylinder.
