Toki, comrades!

I created this community because I wanted to create a Toki Pona community for socialists and communists of the materialist variety, the mainstream Toki Pona community is hosted on a discord called "ma pona pi toki pona" which while an incredibly useful resource with it's own share of leftists is also home to liberalism, vulgar idealism and hosted on Discord which I do not like as much as Matrix!

I intend to create a space on matrix for this community hosted on the genzedong matrix server, too. If anyone wants to help me sort this out and be a mod on the matrix space, hit up my inbox or reach out to me on Matrix: @catfish:genzedong.xyz

I'm looking for mods to help me organize this community with a reworked sidebar with a Toki Pona translation and to help me come up with weekly threads too, feel free to reach out to me with the methods listed above if interested and I look forward to having fun with Toki Pona with you!

Hexbears are cordially invited to this Toki Pona community I'm creating at !tokipona@lemmygrad.ml!

If you come into any thread on this topic flailing quips about how this person was a scumbag and deserved it, this genocide has drained you of your morale and your conscience and you need to take a step back and re-examine the words coming out of your mouth. Her action was idealistic yes but it was also a horrible fucking tragedy. She saw the genocide just like us and she was lost and confused of what to do about it. She did the only thing she thought would make people look and gave her life to do it and people still shit on her corpse. Have some fucking respect. She saw what we all saw, this horrific fucking genocide and was overwhelmed by the terror and did the only thing she thought made sense.

Edit: Adjusted the gender in my comments according to new findings that she was transgender. The proof being that the account the action was streamed on using Twitch was named acebush1 a month prior before it was renamed to Lillyanarkitty. Her reddit account /u/acebush1 was found and contains anarchism posting and some LGBTQ content which convinces me that acebush1 and Lillyanarkitty are the same person. Here's a link since the account was wiped clean by the feds at Reddit. https://www.reveddit.com/y/acebush1/

The leak, which the CIA called a “digital Pearl Harbor”, showed how US spies hacked Apple and Android smartphones and sought to turn internet-connected televisions into listening devices.

It's very funny to me that every time something is leaked the CIA forgets to save face. Like "Oh no! Someone caught me hacking into personal smart devices and using them to spy on the public! This is my personal 9/11 and I'm sad about it. :("

They really ought to just start forgoing the planting of child porn, it's just weird at this point and you've already shown that you can arrest folks for more arbitrary reasons. But I guess cruelty is the point. "Don't leak our shit or I'll make people believe you diddle kids!"

When your landlord goes to prison they don't just hand over the property to you, more than likely you'll get another shittier landlord that will price you out of your home if they can't evict you because they don't want "problem tenants."

Infinite growth is not a good thing, numbers rise and fall just let it do it's own thing. That being said, maybe if the Lemmy instances would stop defederating like children snatching toys from one another at a daycare it would get more engagement.

That doesn't make a single bit of sense. Not all Jewish people are Israelis, in fact most of them are not. All Israelis are colonists and have the ability to leave to a different country at any time.

In contrast Palestinians have nowhere else to go because they are a colonized people trying to live on land that is being stolen from them while being bombed and shot every day. Even before Oct. 7th this has been the case.

You would be surprised what you can do. Most of the time the only things that prevent people from doing actions like this are societal convention or the feeling that you have too much to lose. These fears are compounded by copaganda that convinces you that detectives will ultimately find out that it was you that committed the act. The truth is that anyone who is knowledgeable and possesses certain resources can perform acts like this with only a small group of people and get away with it, maybe not always with a clean record though.

There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.

Why wouldn't we be promoting a political agenda?

"We don’t need no culture except revolutionary culture. What we mean by that is a culture that will free you. You heard your Field Lieutenant talking about a fire in the room, didn’t you? What you worry about when you got a fire in this room? You worry about water or escape. You don’t worry about nothin’ else. If you say “What’s your culture during this fire?” “Water, that’s my culture, Brother, that’s my culture.” Because culture’s a thing that keeps you. “What’s your politics?” Escape and water. “What’s your education?” Escape and water." - Fred Hampton - It's A Class Struggle Goddammit!, November, 1969

People that believe in IQ don't usually believe material conditions affect it, it's "in your genes." It's an extension of the racist ideology that spawned the concept of IQ. In their world it is something immutable in you that makes you ontologically better or worse than someone else.

You're a fucking moron and also an ableist piece of shit.
