No idea if you already know these places (you probably do) but The Cobblestone, Peader Brown’s, and McDowells are all great pubs that are perfectly happy serving a drink to anyone of any orientation.

Sorry for the bother if you already know.

The French Revolution was done by the predecessors of the rich of today. On the other hand there was this one German economist who predicted that the ever increasing economic crises would lead to the workers rising up.

The family has a tendency to not have a lot of brains

One remembers the “refrigerator mothers” idea

“Graham says the post was intended humanize [sic] the badge.”

By dehumanizing those that the badge fucks over, huh?

Bizarrely, the urge to make money off scared trans people overpowered the urge to be fascist.

To their immense credit the NRA is against this. Probably because the gun lobby wants to sell guns to scared trans people.

It had to be done

A few in Ireland too. They’re getting the applications denied though :(

Never read the Halloween Documents, have you?

A not insignificant number of Palestinians have Israeli citizenship. I think it is wrong to restrict their ability to gtfo of Israel.

The Tyranny of Tyranny by Cathy Levine

Real criminal organizations will know that proprietary software is less secure than open-source stuff.

A proper criminal should use Signal or another open-source e2ee messenger, and so should you.

(Signal is blocked in Russia)

The petty bourgeois, which encompasses coop workers, self-employed artisans, small business owners that put in many hours but also pay wages to workers, lawyers with partner status, etc. are a middle class. They own their means of production to a large extent but also put in labour.

During times of crisis they align with one of the big classes or the other largely depending on which of those subgroups they belong (the shopkeep will generally align with the factory owner, the coop worker and the artisan usually align with the factory worker). Those that align with capital often end up becoming fascists.

In this particular case literally all I want is to be able to talk to my family members without risking the FSB arresting them for calling the “Special Military Operation” a war in a phone call. If using WhatsApp for texting isn’t banned alongside phone calls, that is halfway okay for discussions of that nature, and I’ll have to watch my tongue if I call them over the Roskomnadzor-Approved ™ apps.

The trouble with those of course is that they don’t always work well with non-Russian phone numbers (because of course fucking everything needs my number nowadays). And you have to hope they’re not megaspyware. I am NOT downloading fucking MAX.

I will assume that you are saying that people should not be using Signal based on this (e.g. the United States are sliding into fascism and may fuck over Signal).

What would you suggest then? PGP? Ngl I’m happy that GnuPG is introducing post-quantum encryption in the new releases but I’m talking about calling my grandma.

It means that making phone calls with either will likely soon become impossible for those with a Russian Internet connection.

People should be using Signal, which is also blocked.

I’m now frantically trying to cook up some way to be able to call my family back there. A VPN is of course an option, but also illegal.

To be charitable I think our fellow poster meant that Zionists went from at least some modesty to a full embrace of revisionist Zionism. To further the Nazi analogy, it would be like going from Italian fascism to Nazism.
