Rojava is absolutely a place to look to and was eye opening for me personally. I don't necessarily agree that it will be constant, at least not after a while. But even if it was, still much better than forcing people to obey rules imposed on them from above.
I am also an anarchist comrade and while it is true that ultimately we should abolish forcing people to have to vote who they want to give power to, right now it is necessary to stave off the worst tumors of capitalism. Also democracy isn't shit as a form of deciding what to do in a situation where multiple parties want to cooperate but want different things.
The easiest way to do what? Remove fascism? How is that working out in the US? Surely the point can't be to "just endure fascism for four years and then surely the fascist will give us opportunity to remove him from power by voting"?
Voting is not the only way and not the only non-violent way. Mass strikes, shutdown of the state economy and mass non compliance also work. This requires class solidarity tho, which we will need to reach.
A lot of push against Proton on here lately. Makes me suspicious.
Here is a deeper rabbit hole:
Wintermute (the author of that tweet) was the name of the admin of the original german lemmy instance "feddit.de". At some point Wintermute said they would go on vacation, I think to somewhere in asia. After that they were never heard from again and the instance decayed and we all had to move to feddit.org eventuall.
Now... what if Wintermute fell down a manhole cover??
With the Putin-loving, fascist AfD as the second strongest party in the country? We will see, but I do not have high hopes.
I am the senior dev and idk what the fuck I am doing, leave me alone
#womeninmalefields is describing common situations and phrases that women experience and turning them upside down by switching genders.
The analogy to this one would be a man telling a surgeon to surgically tighten a woman's vagina after giving birth. This is a common and disgusting joke.
Good thing every one of their votes is worth as much as everyone's in those green states, right? Hahhaa... right???
TL;DW?
