Yeah with how many leaks come from war thunder players… lol
Yeah I suspect some dark patterns are at play here
Funny, that’s what I hate about Nano. The key binds seem completely random to me and the programs solution to this is to display a cheatsheet on the screen
not for me. I’m on mobile fwiw. and on my screen there’s no way to close the subscription call to action
Or Brazil. That’s the eight largest economy in the world. They headline BRICS for a reason. Sure, China is the true headliner there, but the fact is that Brazil is included in those 5 countries for a reason (multiple actually). There’s absolutely no way for a single individual to eclipse the value of the world’s 8th largest economy. Pick a country with a lower GDP than Hungary and then we’ll talk
Some of those that work forces…
My view as an anarchosocialist is that we have to do everything we can to get the best possible result every step of the way. We don’t live in a country in the US that allows us to vote any way but strategically. We must always be assessing what the best outcome we can get in any given situation is. Unfortunately in electoral politics that often means the most compromised candidate because anyone else will result in a regressive. The question becomes “what do we do after the election to press the government into actually representing us”
In a lot of ways I think that’s voting blue no matter who until the regressive party is made irrelevant. Once the regressive party is irrelevant we can start treating the dems as the regressives they truly are and working on getting election reform and ranked choice voting. We can’t get any of that if we allow for any room for a Donald Trump presidency. He wants to blow up the entire system and fill the power vacuum with his own self. For the rest of us who want to dismantle the entire system, the purpose is not to have a dictator, but rather to eliminate hierarchy. We are in an extremely dangerous position this year. If we’re ever going to disrupt the powers that be, we can’t ever allow for any kind of monarch as that’s a step 300 years backwards.
So my advice? Vote for Harris, and then take to the streets and protest the ways she doesn’t represent us. Palestine deserves to be free. Oppressed peoples deserve reparations. The cold war was a modern race to rape Africa a la the late 19th century and the peoples harmed in the mad scramble to see if capitalism or Bolshevism was more effective at spreading cannot recover until we fundamentally decolonize the world. The cost of the suffering we inflict doesn’t even need to be viewed abroad to be seen. Appalachian coal fields and fracking operations are acts of violence against the land and the people who live on it. Prison labor is a form of slavery and is only palatable to our modern sensibilities as we contrast it with the peculiar institution of chattel slavery instead of comparing it with the history of slavery throughout time. The only opportunities we afford native Americans to live on the land we stole from them is if they pay us in money whose value is rooted in the value of that very stolen land via the mortgage system.
Don’t let Donald Trump be president. Don’t let President Harris off the hook for the violence the position she is taking over is responsible for.
Arrest records are also not an accurate portrayal of crime. There’s a TON of wrongful arrests out there. Like… Its a monumental problem
You’re misunderstanding what I mean when I say smaller communities and that’s partially on me. The largely anonymous city is the unit of organization I champion as being the ideal target. We want populous cities that are self organized and self sufficient. Personally, my experience with this independent and dispassionate arbiter has never been good, so my vision for community policing moves away from a paid police force to the mechanisms I’ve already invested myself more in in the forms of mutual aid and support.
Smaller in this case is a comparison between countries that span across nearly entire continents vs the idea of a city state. We also need to protect ourselves from multinational companies that are so anonymous and foreign to the people they exploit that it’s impossible to hold them accountable

And for the record. Yes. I am an anarchocommunist. If the cost of large societies is large scale violence, then maybe we should adjust our primary societal units into smaller, more communal units. The ideal government is one that protects the liberties of the populace from exploitation by others. As it stands our governments mainly function to ensure the exploitation continues. I’m not advocating the immediate abolishment of all government right now, but I want to make it clear that I don’t think a society that justifies the violence it enacts as being necessary to maintain society is worth maintaining as is. Such a society requires adjustment
For sure. That one I can at least… Understand or appreciate that it is related to how hard it is to host potentially illegal content in the jurisdiction the instance is hosted in. But the way the MB/FC situation has been handled is… Embarrassing. Like there’s no way to defend it other than “you yourselves are biased and you want to dictate the kind of bias that is acceptable”
It speaks to a lack of media literacy by the moderation administration of the instance
Swiso is also good. I don’t remember the URL right now
Thank you for this. I was about to bring up that history is littered with societies who had things pretty well squared away and were doing just fine before the touch of colonialism reached them. Societies that don’t exist anymore because they stood in the way of “progress.” Societies whose people were either enslaved, genocided, or both
and if you’re not a member of the favored class they won’t respond even then. In fact, they might make your situation worse just to do it. I got pickpocketed in Louisville and the police basically told me that not having my wallet anymore was a problem I’d have to navigate on my own. Later that day they busted me for driving without a license and vagrancy because I was trying to leave Louisville to return home to VA.
I cannot emphasize enough that when people ask questions to me when I say we should dissolve the police and start anew with some new mechanism for handling crime such as “who will you call when you’re the victim of a crime” my answer is almost never the police because its very rare for them to do anything useful
For real. We need to deescalate things and I don’t think that can start with the populace defending itself to stop defending itself. The cops are bullies. The answer isn’t to lay down and wait for teacher to see we’re getting beat up. We need to deal with the bullies by demonstrating that we’re strong together
My god this bot is problematic… Really makes me lose all respect for the .world
ecosystem of mods and admins that they’ve heard the feedback and refused to do anything without even considering the possibility of just not having this bot at all. All feedback is replied to with basically “you must implement a bot for us in order for us to take you seriously”
My issue with this is the notion that there are thriving modern societies. Our modern world is a complex web of torture and exploitation. The police in my country (the USA) act far more as maintainers of the status quo of torture than they do protectors of the populace from violent crime
Personally for me its about the double standard. When we perform small scale “theft” to experience things we’d be willing to pay for if we could afford it and the money funded the artists, they throw the book at us. When they build a giant machine that takes all of our work and turns it into an automated record scratcher that they will profit off of and replace our creative jobs with, that’s just good business. I don’t think it’s okay that they get to do things like implement DRM because IP theft is so terrible, but then when they do it systemically and against the specific licensing of the content that has been posted to the internet, that’s protected in the eyes of the law
