Yep, that's reasonable. I was just making sure since that idea seems to conflict with
If you are confident about the righteousness, lawfulness, and moral justification of what you are doing and know that the public fully supports you, you'd never have a reason to hide your identity.
Given ICE's application of stingrays, social media handing over any and all information to authorities, and ever increasing detainments, protesters have more reason than ever to hide their identities - as we see with the frog people in Seattle. Discouraging opsec could be dangerous advice in this situation, but I see now that discouraging opsec was not your intent.
Assuming everyone lives in a city where the weather is mild, the distances to things are short, there is reliable public transportation, and has significant infrastructure in place for walking/biking
Could you elaborate about what you mean here? It appears to me as if the people participating in fuck cars are more bemoaning the lack of these things. The people frequenting that comm will be the first to complain that the vast majority of Americans have abysmal choices for non-automobile transportation.
Also assuming that everyone using a car instead of biking/walking is just being lazy, without spending a second to consider the elderly or infirm
This, I just simply dont see in that comm. I feel like the people in fuck cars comm would be the first ones to argue that the elderly and infirm are oftentimes the first ones to suffer due to lack of good public transportation options. Casting the fuck cars community as ableist and ignorant to the struggles of the disabled seems unfair - given how the mass transit community are some of the primary champions of low floor trams, paratransit, accessible stations with elevators, designated priority seating, etc...
Turns out, skepticism towards the motivation for promoting poor strategy is a real thing that leftists arrive to without being "liberals".
You understand that the leftist position is similarly that liberals have poor strategy and are naive, right? The difference is that leftists dont think there is a vast conspiracy to astro turf liberal ideas onto an internet forum. As it turns out, people are complicated and arrive to various political ideologies for a whole myriad of different reasons - regardless of whether not it seems rational to you.
It's still bizarre how the liberals on this site refuse to believe that a particular brand of marxism leninism could be arrived at organically - as millions upon millions of people already have across the globe for the past 100 years.
Why is it that liberals scream "INORGANIC" every time leftists start a discussion that is anywhere to the left of the US State Department's official stance?
Turns out, principled leftism is a real thing that people arrive to without the help of "Ruzzian bots" or "ccp shills".
Haha yep, the CPU is honestly not a good fit at all... The only reason I used it is because I already had it. I decided to build this server mostly from parts scavenged off my old gaming PC. I rationalize the choice since the server sits in a basement that I struggle to keep warm. You've got me thinking though... It might be worth it to get into the BIOS and make sure I'm on ECO mode, at least.
I remember a few months ago he made some post on one of his various leftward-punching comms criticizing the left's application of "critical support". Not an hour later he went onto his bizarre civil war comm and started hailing William "we must act with vindictive earnestness against the Sioux, even to their extermination, men, women, and children" Sherman as the comm's patron saint. He didn't like when I asked him how and when he chose to apply critical support.
Ive said it before and I've said it again, I give PJ one more year before he's calling ICE on people he claims are "tankies". True cryptofascist.
Boy oh boy, you sure taught everyone a lesson... by sitting home in your lazy mediocre ass, diddling with your purity, then lovingly, distractedly sniffing your goddamned mediocre fingers of your blood-soaked hands.
Oh shit, I thought you were describing Merrick Garland.
Dog... MAGA has been telegraphing their moves for over a decade. When WE got the democrats and Biden into power, they sat on their asses and did zero work to mitigate or anticipate the Trumpist fascism that was hurdling towards them at 1000 miles an hour.
How effective do you see these epic quips being when people are being loaded onto trains?
Yall have been bleating "yall quada hur dur" for the last 10 years- amidst an unprecedented rise in right wing militias, police capability, domestic troop rollouts, right wing terror, and right wing armament. Not only is it entirely ineffective, but it shows just how little respect you've given to the very real threat of right wing terror in America. What is it? Are the right wingers weak or strong?
Yall would do best to quit the handwringing about when and how body shaming is okay. Body shaming is never okay, period. This is not leftism. This is liberalism. Leftists dont do this. And to what end? Performative schoolyard insults aren't going to stop the descent into fascism. All it does is show you aren't understanding what causes fascism and how it's mitigated. Does the existence of black Nazis give you the right to start dropping N bombs?
"Violence doesn't work against Nazis"
What??? What was WWII about then??
You have two methods to stop fascism: meet people's basic needs, or squash it with guns and bullets. No amount of cutting late night monologues, or epic slams, or incisive think pieces will quell fascism. I'll leave you a quote from Hitler.
And so, I established in 1919 a programme and tendency that was a conscious slap in the face of the democratic-pacifist world. [We knew] it might take five or ten or twenty years, yet gradually an authoritarian state arose within the democratic state, and a nucleus of fanatical devotion and ruthless determination formed in a wretched world that lacked basic convictions.
Only one danger could have jeopardised this development — if our adversaries had understood its principle, established a clear understanding of our ideas, and not offered any resistance. Or, alternatively, if they had from the first day annihilated with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement.
Neither was done. The times were such that our adversaries were no longer capable of accomplishing our annihilation, nor did they have the nerve. Arguably, they furthermore lacked the understanding to assume a wholly appropriate attitude. Instead, they began to tyrannise our young movement by bourgeois means, and, by doing so, they assisted the process of natural selection in a very fortunate manner. From there on, it was only a question of time until the leadership of the nation would fall to our hardened human material.
China has a homeownership rate somehwere between 90% and 96%. Cope harder.
