If this is all people cared about they'd be using Sid. Debian Stable is stable. It's not there to be flashy and new. It's there to work and stay working.

It's all good. I definitely agree that educational courses should be a big part of organizational work. People just don't show up to that kinda stuff in my experience though, which is a damn shame.
If you've got anything like that going on, feel free to hit me up in dms, I'd certainly go out of my way to attend something over zoom or discord or whatever. :)
I now better understand your position, and believe that we are in agreement. Thank you for the well thought out response. ❤️
Those are just the breaks unfortunately. I agree with you though.
The average lib is going to go to work for 8hrs 5 days a week, go to their shitty 1800/mo apartment and get high. I vehemently disagree with you that they would suddenly go up in arms fighting a movement claiming to work in their own class interests. Look at how the average lib responded to a guy killing a healthcare ceo. Outside of your chronically online redditors and ben shapiro types people supported that! People in the US may not believe in socialism, but they absolutely would support a militant group fighting for lower retirement ages, changes to the healthcare system, reduced military spending, etc. I absolutely reject the idea that we cannot act at all until the masses are on our side, and this idea that telling people to read theory and join the party somehow builds our movement. People need a reason to want to learn more and join the party, you get that through militant action.
As someone who has used cryptpad, it works. It sucks major cheeks, but it gets the job done.
We all say we understand these kinds of protests are pointless, but we all are pissing ourselves scared of the alternative.
If someone does start speaking up, talking about actual political violence at a party meeting that shit gets shutdown fast in my experience. Nobody wants that no matter how true it is because we all know people will die, be imprisoned, suffer lifelong injuries, etc.
IDC what party, what org, nobody is going out guns blazing unless they are okay with ruining/ending their own life. How many people do you know at that point? I know 1 person like that (and it isn't me). You manage to get a group of like, 20+ people like that you can actually start doing the more radical stuff. Until then we are going out doing this stuff and giving ourselves a pat on the back. Sorry if that sounds a bit jaded, but that's how I feel about it. That depression you're feeling? It doesn't go away. You will feel depression and anger after every. single. protest. You'll keep going so you don't feel sick to your stomach for not doing anything at all, but it won't help.
This turned into more of a vent than helpful advice. Sorry.
Took one look and said "Oh wow, this is worthless." and kept doing what he was doing.
This is true in the US too. First monday of september.
If Palemoon can still run the bulk of the web on a forked version of the old firefox engine, I doubt you'd notice anything breaking in the short term.
