I agree with all of that, but I think what's relevant here is that more people are becoming willing to aim the violence in the other direction, from the masses and towards the state. You are 100% right that political violence has always been normalized and accepted, but specifically (like in your example) it was the state use of violence against people that was normalized and accepted while people using violence against the state was broadly considered not just taboo but immoral.

The numbers in OP aren't just describing an increase in acceptance of all "political violence," but an acceptance for the masses to wield that political violence against the state, which is a very interesting, maybe even profound shift, a shift that is indicative of the ongoing collapse of the empire.

This is only sorta-kinda true. Depending on your house and the species in question, a lot of spiders and insects you might find in it have just come in from the outside, making their way under door jams or all sorts of not completely sealed cracks and crevices. I often (relatively speaking) capture and toss out wetas in my place that I know just squeezed in from outside. It also doesn't really matter how many generations they've been there as long as it hasn't been so many that they've actually evolved to habitate in your house specifically. What matters in that case is the individual which may have been set up in such a way in your house that yeah, chucking it outside will be a death sentence. But that's really variable depending on the species in question, the conditions outside, where you end up putting it outside (example: out in the open where it will immediately get got by a predator, or in the kind of underbrush it's naturally suited for anyway), and all sorts of other things.

Using an adblocker and a scriptblocker, I checked it out and it looks legit. It has the episode in question in OP as well as the Streets episode @BigHaas@hexbear.net mentioned in the comments.

At this point I kind of feel like just saying fuck The Deprogram. I used to really like it, as a fan of all three of their individual youtube channels I was a listener from the first episode all the way until like episode 90 or somewhere around there. There was some other stuff that got on my nerves over time, but this switch to paywalling some of their episodes is bullshit. I understand they deserve to be compensated for what they do with the podcast, and I thought it was a great model that non-patreon listeners had to wait a week to hear each episode and that they did live Q&A sessions only for patrons, etc. I'm all for that. But to lock people out of content if they don't pay a subscription fee is just fucking low imo. I realize other leftist podcasts do that too and I think that also fucking sucks. It is hypocritical of them, and it does make me lose respect for them.

Anyway yes, thanks ByteFoolish, the above link should be fine for listening to those payblocked "patron only" episodes.

I learned about him years ago from a sub dedicated to editing his comics to be not fascist. The intent behind the sub was good, but some argued, correctly I think, that doing that just ends up helping to spread and even sanitize his actual fascist comics. I think there was a rule here early on, or maybe just on the old sub about not posting stonetoss shit, even when it's been edited to look antifascist.

Time to lifeboat them onto Hexbear. Or new lemmy instance? I wonder what the mod's thoughts are on that.

[-] InappropriateEmote@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Clear proof it's just all those Chyna and Ruzzia bots that make up Hexbear brigading yet again.

Fucking disgusting. Not super surprising, but no less sickening. Hasan wasn't saying that kind of shit I hope. Thanks for the update.

edit: I see @LibsEatPoop@hexbear.net commented in detail some of the shit they were spewing a couple days ago.

the weakness becoming apparent is so new that a lot of groups around the world probably havent had time to gear up for armed struggle yet.

Probably right, but clearly the Palestinians were on the ball! Here's hoping they weren't the only ones who saw the writing on the wall, but are just the first to make such a large move.

It is indeed odd that US propaganda can't make up its mind between "Putin Ebil Crazed Dictator Sole Actor Behind War" and "Russian Brainpan Predisposed to Being Big Meanies." So Which is it? Do Russians actually not support Putin and the SMO or are all of these western sources talking about his soaring approval actually just on Putin's payroll?

[-] InappropriateEmote@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Yeah, those damn Ruskies sure love carrying around banner portraits of Stepan Bandera and flying blue and yellow flags next to their swastikas and black suns and wolfsangels.

All of these are Russian's too, right? Especially the ones that say Azov Battalion? https://leftypol.org/edu/src/1662026001627.webm

What are you even asking for? What do you want citations on? As I made very clear with quoted text, I was responding to a claim about everyone on the hexbear instance.

Do you want citations and careful wording that hexbear people use citations and careful wording? Or do you want citations and careful wording about something specific having to do with the topic of the OP? In either case, just read the comments from hexbear users all over this thread.

[-] InappropriateEmote@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Oh a hexbear. ... You lot only have overly simplistic takes.

When we respond to blatant ignorance with carefully chosen wording, backing up our position with citations and links, and calmly explaining the nuance of complex geopolitical realities, we get accused of "always throwing walls of text at people." When we answer that same ignorance with short and pithy responses, we "only have simplistic takes."

There's no winning with you simple-minded dronies, but I guess there never is when one side can just make shit up that fits their vibes-based outlook on the world.
