“death to america” doesn’t mean “burn it all down” because america isn’t you or me or the roads or supply lines. america is prisons and wage slavery and a commons eviscerated by greed; it is the spirit driving that immiseration and privation.
hexbear.college anyone? i have a little experience contributing to openedx, but if people have other preferences (or want a homegrown thing i’m down). I’m not that good a dev/ops but I’ve done a bunch of self hosting projects that have been stable other than my lack of budget to keep them up at times.
I’ve been going through the shit, but I still want to contribute to the hexatlas project I saw on here a while back.
If you want a revolution well you know We all want to change the world And I’m willing to be your leader Death to america
Lesbians are immune to twink death. Also white people age crazy fast from my perspective. I thought twink death was more of a late thirties thing tbh
As long as there are white people, we have to keep having this talk. At some point they’ll realize that white is a caste and hopefully give it up.
I don’t think capital can sustain projects of this magnitude. Space is too harsh of an environment for delulu. We can hardly grapple with the idea that our actions on earth have consequences because of our condition. I like space stuff and I even like to create designs of starships, but I don’t think we’re in a position to reach for the stars just yet. Even if I’m wrong, we can’t allow space fascism get started either. There is probably life out there and if space capitalism finds them, they’ll try to pull another indigenous genocide and invent new forms of xenophobia to justify it.
None of our problems are technological. We have massive people problems. Building a new billions of dollar machine or trillions of dollar space station isn’t going to disrupt the imperial core. The Gray Techno Fash won’t suddenly become humanists because space.
Space life can be fun to think about, but techno futurism is a liberal fetish and tends to result in liberal fantasies if you don’t decolonize your mind.
Thanks the gods that literacy isn’t a prerequisite to defeating fascism.
They can’t even be assed to make the masses gawk at their fortune. They lock it in an overpriced vault and wear all grey every day.
I’m trans with far fewer resources and I’m planning on duking it out here. I spent my meager savings and a good chunk of my mental health to move from a deep red state to California. I have practically nothing left and I’m out a support system since I had to leave most of my friends behind to get out. I feel kinda naked being unable to legitimately arm myself, but the only people I actually feel in danger from are police so its an improvement overall.
I’ve looked into moving abroad, but western influence is massive and they’ve been demonizing us for generations. There are trans people everywhere, but you’ll have to get a lot more comfortable with risk. Personally, I can’t really justify it. The most I could do is move to my mom’s home country to try to make a stand with my family there, but my ties and responsibilities are in the Americas either way.
I am afraid, but I’ve run as far as I can. What’s left is putting down roots and finding community. I can only afford to resist.
Nobody burned the library of Alexandria it probably died from neglect, but Europeans did burn ~every book ever produced in central america and extinguished hundreds of unique cultures and languages. Western culture is a dark age IMO. And I’m not saying dark ages don’t exist elsewhere. Europe may be fanatically xenophobic, but they aren’t entirely unique either. Just the most successful at spreading darkness.
rapidly losing access to the biome that supports the enormous increase in humans that gave us the brain power to innovate our way out of the last dark age.
the last dark age only happened in europe. most of the world was actually thriving at this time. sad it didn’t last a little longer actually. would have been really interesting to see a globalized world where europe is left out until late in the game. i would suggest that western culture causes dark ages, that’s what we’ve been living for the last 500 years or so. almost everything has been erased. for a lot of us, the collapse of empire is a light at the end of the tunnel. it’ll be horrible, for certain, and was completely avoidable, but you know white people. crawl out to the fallout baby, when they drop that bomb
its not really about “it being for me” more like i don’t understand how its supposed to be funny. i’m not expecting the site to change for me, but i do appreciate the discussion that’s happening here.
that’s the thing tho i don’t have any problems with guillotine memes. genocide is just too gross to be funny to me. i think justified or consenting violence in general is totally chill.
unlimited regicide on the first world
death to america
its been on my list. i’ll bump it up, but i don’t think it’ll make the joke funny.
i had a bad day and i wasn’t vibing with the responses i got. i recognize that it wasn’t the best time to be doing a struggle session so i logged off after i made my first edit and some posts that i realized were pretty emotionally charged.
i don’t even think people are saying it seriously, it just seems like a really gruesome thing to joke about? not my thing anyway. i did get a little mad yesterday, but that wasn’t y’all’s fault. i could have chosen a better day to participate in starting a struggle session.
check my edit.
thanks for explaining. i still don’t think i get the humor part, but its good to have some context.
I don’t think industrialization requires exploitation, that’s just a cheat code that imperialists use to develop at a rate that allows them to maintain the illusion of stability in the core. The West will just have to go back to being a poor backwater and build up their shit honestly this time.
