The BDS movement is based on the movement by the same name targeted at apartheid South Africa, which did have a significant impact in getting rid of the regime. That said the amount of money Americans are compelled legally to spend on Israel vastly outstrips any changes regular people could make in their daily lives so idk how effective it can be in this case. The American empire seems inextricably tied to Israeli dominance these days.
Fair point. Technology is increasingly hostile.
Fwiw I can use my banking apps and anything else on GrapheneOS. It's been smooth sailing all the way.
What a fucking straw man definition lmao
The former, while aiming at the complete abolition of the state, believe that this aim can only be achieved after classes have been abolished by the socialist revolution, as the result of the establishment of state-socialism, which supposedly leads to the withering away of the state. The latter want to abolish the state completely overnight, understanding that the conditions under which the state can be abolished must be different from the conditions which allowed the state to flourish
FTFY
Also to me the biggest reason I call myself an anarchist is that I respect the diversity of not only tactics for abolition of the state and capital, but also the diversity of ways communal living may look when influenced by difference socioecological conditions.
No harm done
My HP Z440 was cheap on eBay and kicks ass. Only weird hitch about it is it won't boot without some sort of GPU in it so I got a GTX 970 on Facebook for like $20.
You'll probably never want to go back lol
More tanks manufactured to dump in the desert to line the pockets of their donors.
How confident are you driving an automatic? If you're comfortable, it shouldn't be too big of a deal. If you already struggle to navigate traffic, adding more controls will make that worse.
Man, if you piss off the Swiss, you know you fucked up.
As though Americans are in any position to judge.
Important to remember that Mussolini reigned fascist Italy for over 20 years. People grew up under fascism before resistance became overwhelming enough.
They're talking about suspending habeas corpus so...
Regardless I still think they're going to go after the unhoused more explicitly and use less explicit means to push trans people (and others they disapprove of) into that category in order to make excuses for the disappearancess. We shall see I suppose.
I can't remember the details but I remember some time back hearing a pretty compelling argument that he's actually just a Nazi. It happens, apparently far too much.
On top of that they're all privacy nightmares
Honestly, all she's done has created history's most gaping opportunity for an appeal.
People just don't want to be around a bigot. Simple as. Social harms that might come to you for espousing views that aren't acceptable to the surrounding community isn't censorship, it's just social rejection on legitimate grounds. Fix your heart or GTFO.
