Do you think if I designed something like this and it said "STOP! Read

<insert book>

It's what happens when people lose hope, to meaningfully be able to impact the world around them and it's affairs, so they resort to lambasting their representatives on the internet.

A lot of people think that if talking bad about a leader, in public was made illegal, that it'd be horrible censorship, Liberals cling onto being able to yap like they cling onto nothing else. Oh no my free speech!!

If I was a tyrant I would literally let you guys shit talk me all day and turn it into a theater, because I know you're not going to do anything about it. If I was extra nefarious I'd make you pay for it. Come on $25 to throw a tomato at me, you know it'd sell out marvelously and the media would call me the most humble president of all.

If Elan Must was not a lame bigot:

120 years of consuming and listening to Mariah Carey

It's a shame I can't glaze my own family member for the efforts they did towards building a community or they will sanction me for being a "Sympathizer of totalitarian regime" or some shit.

Judging by her character I wouldn't be surprised if her father was part of the people who betrayed the workers for the sake of their own wealth.

Thanks I appreciate you sharing the resources. Very informative!

Do you think Kaja Kallas is going to sanction the libs when they start calling her a USSR deep-state agent.

Hello. I'm a visual artist interested in incorporating alt-text into my work and making it more accessible for people.

I am not against mandatory requirement for it, but here are my main struggles with it:

• Lack of a clear, easy to follow and objective guidelines for how to compose alt-text.

Once these directives have been established that also takes care of low-effort or wrongly applied alt-text, avoids there being favoritism in moderation process and served to educate us.

I understand your frustration with me and that is justifiable, but please help me be better. For instance this is a piece of art I made When I was uploading it I had spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to make appropriate text for it, before I made the cowardly choice to opt out completely when I became overwhelmed by information. At the same time a short alt-text for an artwork like this feels inappropriate. That made me choose to out out of including any, seeing as it is optional and I don't deserve the attention of anyone who would have otherwise engaged with my work when I am unwilling/unable to provide adequate alt-text for them.

I am not looking for excuses, but rather would like for us to work together and figure out a solution.

I did everything so wrong my teachers let me graduate school just because they could not tolerate my presence. All while my schoolmates were bringing in bribes for the director, to achieve the same thing.

At the same time I've only managed to get this far because I talk a lot and run into people who like me? I know it's hard to believe, but it's true!

My life is basically failing forwards

I don't know how much of a reach the internet really has a lot of it is definitely bots, but I do know there's isolated people who get funneled into right-wing extremist groups and I suspect a lot of this has to do with the fact hat we've basically let them dominate the online space. Which is where a lot of isolated people these days spend their time.

And it's easy to laugh at them, especially since their numbers are not that large. Well this is the kind of person who could be turned into a Unit 731 Operator and then it's not that funny anymore.

I'm quite lonely because my disabilities+being trans makes it hard to integrate and it's scary how easy it is to run into a RWer who will be more than happy to welcome me, but if I try to find a more left wing oriented spaces there's like nothing there. And of course there's nothing there, nobody can afford to broadcast their existence online even if they wanted to or they will put themselves in danger. The few friends I do have just think I am wasting my time and nothing can be done, all of them have buddies who voted for shit like AfD too, which is lovely.

The only hope I do have is literally the fact that Lenin managed to get something together in worse conditions than this. So it's not impossible for things to get better. I just don't know if we have anyone capable of becoming such a leading figure and that's what worries me the most. Sorry if i'm being a bit too doomer here.

Like if you let your opponents escape on let's say a nearby island? I do think the RW government should just move here and establish their own government yes.

Although it'd sucks for the locals, if the island has them.

My choices as as a consumer activist range between big global exploiters and small local fascists.

But I love how Americans online put so much emphasis on my personal choices, rather than collective action, so I spent my growing up years avoiding free lunch at school and feeling good about being disconnected from society, because I am not contributing to harm then, after all.

I guess you could say it was still good in some senses at least? Like I learned what words I'm allowed to use online and I learned a lot about identity politics.

Well they can afford to let them live now, if you do this in unstable newly formed societies, guess who is coming out of the prison to lead the people after democracy is "restored"

Because lots of people are liberals and don't like racism, even when they are racist.

They don't just hate people based on how they look like, they hate dangerous criminals, homeless people, people from poor countries etc. Which why there's a fight between them and people who hate someone based on their appearance.

You mean read old books in the library right? There's AI books on the shelves now.

It was bad enough that someone Ayn Rand how to write a book, now they can just ask grok to write it for them

Yep it happens a lot! And a lot of these dynasties are non-aligned to anyone, other than themselves and whoever lets them dominate over others.

Like here in the Baltiks a lot of the far-right have ties tracing back to Russian/Germanic empires. Something not mentioned often, look how they will also destroy monuments dedicated to USSR, they will erase history, even when the worker being honored is someone who is of local ethnicity and spoke their local language, but won't touch the foreign Kaiser/Tsar buildings. They won't rename the streets named after pro-imperial Russians, they are okay with using the names of Aristocratic German families.

These actions make no sense and I think it's why people get so emotional, over being exposed to these contradictions. I myself am kind of a contradiction and I'm already getting off track so to cut it short, my parents were arguing about me from the moment I was born, because I was going to have a rather common Russian sounding name, until paternal grandparents found out and they lost their shit, threatened to take away all property if they don't change it. Yes, they also had ties to Aristocrats...

Anyways learning about Marxism made a lot of things click into places.

Буржуй Буржуазии Буржуазия

It's very easy to spell in Russian.

Also: Burgir

It takes a long time and effort to become a captain.

That's not true. These people live in an alternative dimension.

In imperial societies, you become a captain based on your imperial lineages and how much ties you have with it. It's possible for a high ranking member of such a lineage to become a traitor to the cause, as well, we have a famous example of such a case: Mao Tse-tung

They are going to add Ms Rachel to the victims of communism list. Anyone who speaks for the victims of capitalism, is a victim of communist ideology.
