While searching for the post I did glance at the replies to the top tweet that suggested that the death Alonso is referring to was an accident. But the zionist account didn't attempt to refute it so It isn't relevant to the reaction they are receiving.

A meme based on the meme of the parent comment. That's based on a scene from King of the Hill. Peggy says "I told my readers to harness the cleaning power of amonia, with the whitening power of bleahch." Hank, horrified, says "Peggy that's the recipe for mustard gas" except the end of the text is changed to "that's the recepe for A meme from lemmy that refrences a scenefrom king of hill where Peggy says: "I t"

And so people can see the alt text I had to compile for this: A meme based on the meme of the parent comment. That's based on a scene from King of the Hill. Peggy says "I told my readers to harness the cleaning power of amonia, with the whitening power of bleahch." Hank, horrified, says "Peggy that's the recipe for mustard gas" except the end of the text is changed to "that's the recepe for A meme from lemmy that refrences a scene from king of hill where Peggy says: "I t"

Oh. Hello! Looking forward to reading all of your opinions (which I'm sure will be very polite) when I get round to it.

If anyone needs a reminder of why the bolsheviki were shit: here's a first hand account from Emma Goldman.

"Vote with your wallet" is not ancap propaganda. "Abolish all money" is.

Edit: read it wrong. In my defence cap and com do sound pretty similar. And I think when I read this comment I forgot they existed which is what those oxymorons deserve.

Just as I started using anarchist.nexus as my main instance.

More of an open source kinda person. I have actually looked at LMMS and Ardour. And have a reasonably good understanding of music. Just don't think I have enough persistence to focus on it. More of a programmer type.

Oh I've been waiting for this. I have two, by the same band The Chainsmokers. "Don't let me down" and "Something just like this". Two song I absolutely despise, because I utterly love the first verses of both, and after these two moments of incredible music the song just turns to something that doesn't connect with me at all. All of the energy that's build up is released with this dance-poppy beat that just.. doesn't... work.... at all. And I utterly hate them because of this. There is so much potential there and yet it's all wasted. It's gotten to the point that I've been thinking about trying to remix the songs to fix this, but don't think I have enough musical skill.

Nothing is more despicable than wasted potential, and these songs are dripping with it.

The two languages are polar opposites in this regard, Zig places the burden on the developer and makes it easy for them to produce memory safe software, whereas Rust places the burden on the compiler and makes it hard for developers to produce memory unsafe software.

The article even points this out. I personally think it's very good to have these two languages for these separate use cases.The right tool for the job and all that.

No thanks. I like my theory to be from the current century. You know the one where we have stuff like the internet, imminent climate disaster and the hindsight of the soviet regime.

Also starting a cooperative is no individual solution. It's a first step towards establishing a collective economy. Which could fuel the collective spirit and start a political movement.

I actually don't care about the pay. As long as I can buy food and pay my bills I don't care. I would be willing to work for less than minimum wage if it meant I could have a say in my workplace.

And honestly it doesn't even need to be a tech syndicate. I would be willing to work for any syndicate, and most areas have some kind of IT.

 

I can't find a job.
Well I could but there doesn't seem to be any jobs that fit.
Or if there are I can't find them. (But I don't think so)

The biggest problem is that I live in estonia and it seems there really isn't a well-developed anarchist/socialist/syndicalist movement here. The IWW doesn't have a branch and searching online doesn't really yield any results (aside from a couple of socdem groups),

I don't know how to search for a job that isn't just doing menial labour for some company.

I would like to work for a global fully-remote anarchically managed tech syndicate. But I don't think those exist and I imagine starting one is incredibly difficult. (Well starting it wouldn’t be difficult, but finding people capable and willing to work for something like that, while getting enough income, is.)

At the end of the day the means dictate the ends. Looking for a job in a capitalist way is going to land you with a capitalist job. I need to look for a job in a anarchist/socialist/syndicalist way, but how do you do that in an environment where those ideas aren't widespread?

 

I've been thinking a lot about the relationship between anarchists and the state. Obviously I understand the reason behind anti-statism but I think mindless opposition to any idea is unproductive. So I want to discuss the concept of an anarchist-friendly state.

The starting point is the thought: "what if some people cannot be anarchists?". The effort needed to maintain anarchic structures is considerable and it's possible that a lot of people aren't willing to put in the effort. Voluntary association is fundamental to anarchist theory and that includes the creation of voluntary states. As long as these states are willing to work alongside anarchists there should be no reason for conflict, and states have a good reason to cooperate as anarchists could take over some of the problematic functions of the classical state like policing, after all any successful anarchist society needs to self-police anyway.

I'm not familiar with all of the theory surrounding minarchism but I think the term is applicable to these voluntary anarchist-friendly states.

Which brings me to a question: Could minarchist parties exist? And could they represent a form of electorialism that anarchists could participate in? They could be structured around instant recalls ensuring some level of protection against opportunists. Although such parties would require a change to election laws.

 

Imagine you are a person fighting in an anarchist revolt. You have captured a sizeable chunk of land but the front line has grown too large and you can't progress further. The state that you have been fighting approaches you with an offer: They recognise you as a sovereign (however that would look like) entity but you have to give away most of the land you've captured. They will leave you with the primary city and enough surrounding land to feed everyone.

What would be your position? Would you be willing to make a deal with the state?

Hello m@tes. I have immigrated from lemm.ee following the imminent closure, (and needed to but ana in front of my name because the one I used on lemm.ee was taken.)

Here is just a small thing I made after skimming the comments of a recent popular post. As it is a small image and I'm getting better with Krita this one only took ~35 minutes. Improvements. Yay!
