The only right choice! Thanks!

Nice, thanks! So weird these tools are not commonly used - managing systemd remains one of the common terminal PITAs for everyone who doesn’t appreciate the Great Holy Terminal

Yes, that’s what I use.

It’s just that safety razors are often considered to be a thing of shaving enthusiasts, and if you go through that rabbit hole, you commonly go all the way.

Quite an interesting concept for genuine cartridge aficionados

It seems to depend on your face and skin. For me, single-bladed safety razors deliver a closer shave with less irritation compared to cartridge, and I experimented quite much with both.

Still, the cult of safety razors is sometimes overblown. Just pick what fits you best.

Doesn’t it mean there’s only 1 node NSA has to attack - your VPN?

Kinda renders Tor over it pointless.

Then we should define social left and right and keep it separate, and have one type of left and right as default (probably economic) or always mention it.

Because otherwise there’s a giant field for manipulations.

To my mind, there is nothing wrong with majority of people falling to some range. We can still make sense of it, looking at the levels of distinction that will ever be present.

Otherwise, we risk losing any common anchor, which is very important when we talk any point of statistics or want to trace dynamics and trends of political thought.

Taking some of the extreme examples, in USSR you would be “right-wing” for wishing to open your small business, and in modern US, you would be “left-wing” for wishing to make healthcare more affordable to the poor or have minorities heard. In fact, USSR was just full of people on the left, and US is full of people on the right, driven by propaganda, political technology, media, communications, genuine core beliefs etc.

Updating tools could be about bringing more clarity to some new formations and events, but it shouldn’t be about constantly redefining the base values.

Left and right are primarily economic, and we can only look at one axis at a time.

Otherwise, what you would call, idk, a devout Christian commune where people share everything? Left, because they’re equals, or right, because religion?

On the other hand, if we continuously move goalposts, we risk changing definitions so much that being anti-slavery would be “explicitly left”, and as most people tend to stick close to “center”, whatever it could be, this can really change the political landscape.

I’d argue that, among the working class, the right wing of the political spectrum represents either the expectation/ambition to gain much more than others, or distrust of the left, commonly driven by following capitalist BS or having certain reservations or misunderstandings.

Which is not exactly why we should remain in solidarity with those who started figuring something out, not alienate them based on past views.

Give him a bit of time, he already started looking through some of the BS.

It was super clear what the other commenter meant, and you’re just looking for conflict and thought policing everywhere I met you. Don’t.

Sure, I meant overall and in a wide sense. There is plenty of instances where being a man is harder, there are places where being white could lead to discrimination against you, etc. etc.

But that is beyond my point.

Easier

Although I’d love to see more class-conscious memes and activism.

Yes, it’s harder to be black/hispanic. Yes, it’s harder to be a woman. Yes, it’s harder to be LGBT, especially T. But what really sucks so hard and hits almost all of us (and minorities often get it even harder!) is the oppression of the working class.

Our most unscrupulous and evil oppressors don’t lose all that much from retranslating slogans about equality between people of all genders, races, sexual orientations etc.; in fact, they will play chameleon and support any popular rhetoric - except the one that can actually make a giant change, but at their expense - the rhetoric of a class war. Combine this with corporate power and reach, and you’ll see how we got to addressing literally anything but not the elephant in the room.

Worker-led societies generally promote equal access to jobs, education and services to people of all ethnicities, genders and other traits, bolster a culture of global friendship and cooperation, and promote sustainable development that puts people - all people - first.

It’s in our common interest to put class war as our very first priority - for the greater good of us all.

They are soft, easy to grab, and they belong to an attractive person’s body at large, which makes them an amazing tactile experience overall.

On the looks, they greatly compliment the hourglass shapes, which are very harmonious and pleasing.

Lemmy is generally leaning pro-Palestine, but it varies.

I’ll bash them too when I see them doing so. So long, it’s mostly them (or really, everyone leftier than liberals bunched along with actual tankies) that are under fire.

Your war made too much collateral damage, that’s what I’m saying. Newbies come to .ml and other popular instances, and are attacked on the spot for being presumably almost Nazis. Others come and see this mess.

You are so concerned about someone making China/Russia look better that you are ready to overlook everything else.

Filtered most of the political content out of my Lemmy and other feeds, went back to using RSS to deliver content (a surprising amount of sites of all kinds absolutely do support RSS, it’s not dead in the slightest), focused more on family and things on hand.

Generally, regaining sense of agency over whatever’s around you is a single best antidote.

As a resident of a politically indifferent instance that is on good terms with everyone, I can say one thing:

Fuck absolutely everyone who turns Lemmy into yet another Internet battlefield.

Leave .ml alone. Leave Hexbear alone. Even yes - leave Lemmygrad alone. People there will not change their opinion when facing hatred, and newbies coming there doesn’t change the big picture, as Lemmy is federated and they can figure stuff out for themselves.

Trying to silence entire instances, especially the biggest ones, is absolutely not a welcoming picture to whoever’s coming here, and being cut out and filtered for happening to choose the “wrong” instance is the worst possible greeting.
