real life leftists are fun as hell to be around. if anyone's looking for some:
as rampant as the corruption is going back throughout the country's history, i'd argue it's baked directly into the social fabric of the nation
the precolonial societies that eliminated their hierarchies have a very consistent pattern of continuing to train military practices while also practicing pacificism. i'm not saying that's the answer for a post colonial society, just that humanity has escaped from hierachy before and people living within the three empires probably need to do an uptick in listening, and that distributed access to violence amongst pacifists is likely part of it
ah. alright. okay. got it. that's on me. what i was describing would be more eutopian then
anarchism, marxism, feminism, egalitarianism, anti-racism. these are all deeply interrelated utopianist movements.
they exist and they smell weird (probably, idk, this is intentional slander)
i'mma dip all your insoles in elmer's glue!

CoMaps is GOATed. i need to make some edits in my neighborhood
there's a reason i coalition build best with religious anarchists while myself being an agnostic. there's actually a ton of radical political thought in theology if you can get away from a hierarchically programmed preacher long enough to study it yourself.
there's a song i love titled Owed to a Hypocrite about how the politician and the preacher walk down the road hand in hand oppressing all us regular people
what's google got to do with it? this is an article about a product develeped at GitHub (now a microsoft subsidiary) causing problems with Windows and the thumbnail is showing produts from the following companies:
like. look. i hate google. they partner with israel to conduct genocide (don't use waze, btw, or better yet, don't use any google products). but this seems like not looking at the whole of how evil all of big tech is just to focus on how evil one company in big tech is
i don't know what it is, just that it brings me joy

I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn't see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed
edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn't realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community's rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual
context: they're going out of business
Well y'all finally went and did it. You got me to comment in your community, so now I gotta post something before I leave. I hope you're happy. I mean honestly. Is this what you wanted? Do you like this? Do you like my shitty shit post?
Don't ever let it be said I don't follow the rules

For the screen readers: This is a very small preying mantis that was on my door this morning. It is about the length of my first finger's first bone (the finger tip).
"all political violence is wrong"
detains community leaders in concentration camps
"we should talk things out in the marketplace of ideas"
censors all discussion of wealth redistribution, even the most tame acts like raising taxes on billionaires just a little bit
"violence has no place in our lives"
invades a nation in the global south under flimsy pretexts
