We have a duty to fight for our freedom. We have a duty to win.
Watching the Biden admin is wild. At one minute he’ll be escalating the wars in the Ukraine and Palestine, but the next he’ll be funding the NLRB and addressing the housing crisis in a way that improves walk-ability.
It’s like, he has two settings: “actually useful moderate” and “KILLKILLKILLKILL”
Unfortunately, this makes him the best US president since carter
Getting people to live in offices is good because it brings people back to walkable, urban cores.
If we can get it, they’re still in bargaining and the Stellantis proposal was basically “fuck you, suck my nuts”
The 32 hour workweek is huge.
I don’t think you got the joke
Moreover, the natural development of economic antagonisms, the waking consciousness of an important fraction of the proletariat, the constantly increasing number of unemployed, the blind resistance of the ruling classes, in short contemporary evolution as a whole, is conducting us inevitably towards the outbreak of a great revolution, which will overthrow everything by its violence, and the fore-running signs of which are already visible. This revolution will happen, with us or without us; and the existence of a revolutionary party, conscious of the end to be attained, will serve to give a useful direction to the violence, and to moderate its excesses by the influence of a lofty ideal.

I was comparing more or less heavy handed ways of doing it. I’m advocating for as light a touch as possible. I’m trying to say that authority is a meaningful concept and that we should engage with it because it’s actually very important.
It’s like how some US cities put you on a payment plan for debts, while others put you in jail. They’re both situations of capitalist class rule, but it’s fair to call the latter authoritarian.
I mean, there’s pretty clearly a difference between the Cuban approach of letting capitalists leave vs the Russian approach of imprisoning them.
There’s also a difference between the Bolivian approach of arming and training the peasantry and the GDR approach of maintaining an armed military police into peace time.
There is a meaningful difference between methods of protecting working class power, and pretending there isn’t serves more heavy handed approaches.
For those of us who are abolitionists, this is a central question.
Yeah, but please don’t say that too much, we don’t want to carry water for the CCP
Oh thank God. This is a huge break for anti colonial movements in Africa
The holes on the inside say bugs to me. Puffballs are usually white. I know it’s small, but the shell still looks too big, should be eggshell thin.
Imo, there are safer and tastier mushrooms out there. Like a king bolete or an oyster mushroom.
It’s too bug-eaten to tell if it’s all-white on the inside. I would avoid it because you can’t really sight-ID it.
Also the shell around the outside is too thick (should be eggshell thin) imo there’s a good chance it’s an Earthball (also poisonous, but not destroying angel poisonous).
Get Mike Beuge’s dichotomous key, it’ll really help you not die.
You failed the order following test.
We’re at the stage in humor where instead of telling jokes, we’re conditioning ourselves to laugh at an increasingly horrifying reality.
“Through every diplomatic means possible”
