  • So, the law as written quoted in the original post, atleast to me and I'm not a lawyer or anything, doesn't seem to imply that it would actually be illegal. Police might still charge you (because they're scumbags), but I'm willing to bet its something that a judge would throw out.

  • Basically how it works everywhere, the statute here literally says you can walk on the extreme left side. Cops are wrong.

  • I'm gonna be the odd one out here and say that route is hardly unwalkable, and with some minor changes could even be somewhat safe compared to the walk I make to work everyday. I went down the entire route road by road in street view, you'll be hugging the shoulder in spots, walking in grass and cutting across the road a few times, but you can manage it.

  • While I understand how you feel, you gotta think about how news gets reported.

    Republicans aren't so far off when they talk about the "liberal news media". The news reports democrats failings significantly less, or frames it using more neutral language than how republicans are reported.

    During bidens presidency I literally never heard anything about deportations, yet he did deport a significant amount of people. More than the amount we've seen from trump (so far).

    No matter the justifications, the tone, or the methods, deportations still happened, and currently more of them happened under both Biden and Obama than with Trump. People most certainly were hurt and/or killed in that process too.

  • While I don't personally uphold them, they're arguably the easiest of all the "AES" countries to make a case for.

  • Obama and Biden are allowed to have as many deportations as they want. Infinite deportations. Its only bad because Republicans are doing it.

  • back to distrohopping. I want a reliable OS (no rando ubuntu fork with no clear release/support schedule) with something else than Plasma or Gnome.

    Jump

  • You said no ubuntu so here's some debian distros ;) MX linux, Sparkylinux, LMDE, Q4OS

    No seriously though, all of those have their fans and in my opinion deserve a look. MX linux has one of the better xfce setups out of the box imo, sparky has lots of cool DE packages, LMDE is mint but better-nt, and Q4OS is one of the few distros that includes an out of the box trinity setup.

  • Which distro is closest to 'GUI/UX for everything, absolutely no CLI' approach like Windows or Mac + and just works (ie passes LTT Linux test)

  • You won't get what you're asking for, because what you want is windows to not suck, not for Linux to have GUI. Me too tbf.

    I started playing around with linux back in the Ubuntu 11.04 days. I was a tween with computers as a hobby and linux repeatedly humbled me and left me troubleshooting for hours. I had fun playing with it but I stayed with Windows on my main PC.

    When I finally could not take it anymore in 2021, I started using fedora, which I grew to hate then moved to opensuse, which I grew to hate so I moved to Debian, and I've more or less stayed struggling in the Debian sphere since.

    I'm a regular person, I don't code. I can't even hello world in python without help. I just need my laptop to be able to serve me the slop that I crave. If you're that person too, you're just gonna have to suck it up and learn how linux works. Suffer through it. You've been using windows probably since you were eating boogers, don't expect to just pickup linux over night. I moved to linux for political reasons, and I suspect you're doing so for similar reasons. It doesn't get easier, you just get better at using Linux.

    If you want my suggestion, pick something based on an LTS distro. I like Debian, but I'm sure there is good stuff based on RHEL, SUSE, whatever. People will sit here and tell you how "out of date" Debian is. You're coming from windows, you probably regularly use software that nobody has maintained since 2009, you don't care if bonzibuddy.exe got an AI update, you just want to turn computer on, watch youtube, play vidya game. Don't let user johnthunderfuck69 in r/linux tell you his arch install has never broken in 20 years of using it. He is built different and you are not johnthunderfuck69.

    I've had good luck with some of the gui tools included in MX Linux, SparkyLinux, and LMDE(mint debian edition). If you look hard enough between those 3 you'll probably find a big red button that you can click to order pizza to your house.

    Choose Cinnamon, XFCE, or KDE as a desktop environment.

  • APL is Anti-Revisionist Marxist Leninist (or Hoxhaist if you prefer) and is part of the CIPOML. The APL upholds the USSR pre-khruschev.

    Yes, APL does not to my knowledge uphold any current socialist projects, but it does not uphold "Western Marxist" traditions.

    The APL is currently very vocal against US actions taken against Venezuela (check redphoenixnews) and holds a similar line to it's sister party in Venezuela PCMLV, which has advocated "popular and revolutionary unity" against US aggression.

    Unless you have actual evidence of wrecker behavior or infiltration, I feel like this post exists just to bash a party that holds a different line than you believe to be true.

  • You can make criticisms of both. Just actually talk from a place of knowing what you are talking about when you do it.

    While I'm not a leftcom, Bordiga is probably one of the more solid critics of Stalin. I disagree with Bordiga's criticism, but I can track and understand where he was coming from because he very clearly actually did the reading.

    What I don't always respond kindly to, is someone going "14 kajillion dead, worse than hitler, authoritarian".

  • Libs politics are in support of capitalism. Put another way, those politics stand in the way of working class liberation. There isn't a compromise here, we have to drive out all the pro-capitalist notions in the minds of the working class.

    Is this meme the propaganda for achieving that? Maybe not. But the sentiment that liberal politics are right wing is correct and you won't find a single socialist worth their salt who disagrees with that.

    We will organize among working class people with backwards ideas and a lack of understanding at times, but we NEVER promote or work with liberal politicians or parties.

  • We have a general strike happening right now in Minnesota. The current task in my opinion is spreading that to neighboring states, but issues like this tend to get put in a box of their respective states.

    Despite the nearly insignificant left wing presence in the US we're trying. But we are easily in a worse position than the KPD was in Nazi Germany, or the italian left under Mussolini. We are significantly less developed ideologically than either example.

    That doesn't mean nothing can be done, but the left just isn't big right now, and the masses in the US have been frogs in a pot of water slowly reaching a boiling point for a very long time. People are totally oblivious, apathetic, and comfy sitting around boiling alive.

    Even so, left parties are seeing big jumps in membership right now, we are living in the weeks where decades happen. A month from now we could be in an entirely different situation.

  • Facebook is what free'd me of having to interact with my local DSA /hj

    Local DSA posts everything on facebook, I don't have facebook and won't post my face onto there to make it happen.

    I email them but they just tell me check the facebook

    I try to join the discord but they want to see me at events first, which I can't find, because they are posted on the facebook and I can only scroll down 3 posts before I get asked to login.

    I give them my number and my signal but they don't reach out.

  • Then its targeting a comparatively small amount of people then. Households that make over 180k (which is below your figure of 2 6figure incomes) would be the top 20% of households. And that factors in the high cost of living areas as well, so what you describe is an even smaller amount of people.
