I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar

I think the fediverse is friendly enough. Instead of competing with corporations with streamlined experiences, develop power user tools that actually improve the content on the platform. Like I do want a powerful fediverse search tool, but it doesn’t need to be built into every server.

In Fresno we charge the unhoused a $1000 fine, which is more than a months worth of rent in a shitty studio.

Hell, I remember during Trump’s term they basically waxed a protestor as he was going to work. My guess is McDonald’s didn’t want the bad press of a shooting on their property.

Certainly would make hijacking other apps more easy if you could access the API.

I wonder if this guy is disliked by Americans as much they dislike that UHC CEO, or is it more?

They don’t have a problem with what is being done, just who are the ones doing it.

The reminds me of what Zizek said of the liberals: they are very cynical. “We need to do things we don’t believe are good, maybe even bad, but it works”

It’s in the best interest of the DNC to adopt policies and campaign approaches that have the best chance of winning.

The donors and the consultants making the bulk of the decisions disagree. The donors are motivated to shape policy, not win elections. The consultants are motivated to raise money, not win elections. They literally tell us they would rather loose than be disloyal to Biden by criticizing his legacy.

Did the Dems gain significant votes by offering Liz Cheney a seat at the table?

Having a big tent isn’t winning the election. They need to be offering seats at the table.

History starts when I say it does

Yeah, translating “size of their contribution” to a dollar amount is going to be inherently political. If they’re leaving it open ended to let projects figure it out then that could go poorly…

It is like when racists say they’re race realists; it’s because the term “Soviet communism” isn’t that popular.

I don’t see where Engels says Administration is “central planning”. It certainly seemed to have been an open question for Marx when he talks romantically of the Paris Communes.

You have a sales pitch that works for the poorest countries, what do you have for the wealthiest?

Frankly I find this view disregards the differing material conditions that are present. Social Democrats are left of what the Americas have now, just like Capitalism was to the left of having a Monarchy. Your take is a-historical, anti-materialist, and thus anti-marxist.

The funny thing is I thought you were talking about all the genocides, including those led by Russia, but then I saw your handle and realized you mean only those done by NATO and their allies.

Reading their solutions is interesting; wanted to call out the following because it plays nice if you don’t agree with their whole prescription:

Don’t dilute the Open Source brand. Post-Open will never call itself Open Source, because it has different rules. The Post Open license actually enforces that.
