Don’t worry I’m here for every delicious bit of drama.
Maybe I am missing something with this but anarchists are hated both by communists and liberals. If they see the anarchists, they’d also gang up on the latter lol.
Which is dumb as Mutualism is just better.
From my view the entire problem with .ml is that the anarchists there don’t realize that MLs are not allies.
how do people feel about .ee?
Don’t even know what it stands for. I don’t recall feeling a strong specific vibe from .ee people. By vibe I mean, I see a lot of people from that instance giving a vibe. Explaining it is complicated, so I won’t try, but based on some instances I feel there is a general feeling of how users may feel about certain topics, but .ee isn’t one I have any baseline for.
Yo whattup we vibin, after my kbin instance died I found lem.ee
Call yourself whatever you want, at the end of the day we’re all utopianists who’re overly self-assured that our favorite pet-theory-system will eventually remove all suffering.
“If my vision for society were adopted, the world would be perfect!”
Keep dreaming. We’re fucked.
Most honest thing I’ve read this year.

There is no real Liberal and Communist strife or violence. Only bad actors attempting to create political divisions in places they don’t belong.
Not just CCP, Russians too.
I’m sure our conservatives would join in if their grandkids would help them get their facesbook working on the TV again.
The CCP trolls are laughably untalented compared to Russians. You just have to ask a CCP troll to say one bad thing about China and watch them short circuit.
Russians are dangerous because they can criticize Russia. Their goal is to make you think EVERYONE is shit, and therefore don’t bother voting. It’s a much more subtle and effective form of propaganda.
lemmy.world mods look at reddit for inspiration.
Ew, eat with your mouth closed!
I enjoy it too but not for political reasons but just for the sake of drama
Me just standing in the corner with my semi-syndicalist semi-reconciliationist model of parliamentary democracy based around a Multi-Seat District version of STAR Voting.
I’m not a regular at parties…
Me, having actually read some political science in the past 100 years realizing that all scarcity politics is different forms of harm reduction anyway:
Tbf most scarcity in this production era is artificial scarcity.
Housing crisis for example. There’s more unoccupied units than unhoused people total, not even unhoused family units, unhoused people.
A property tax structure which disincentivizes holding unoccupied property would cause housing prices to plummet.
I vibe with that as a Mutualist that advocates for Ranked Choice Voting and Multi Member Proportional voting.
Where’s the vegan who feeds their cat vegan cat food, the vegan cat food manufacturer, etc?
Wait did the manufacturer appear in one of those threads? That’s fantastic drama.
No, there’s just now a shitposting community related to vegan catfood.
I say let the authoritarians tear into each other while the anarchists unite
Liberal here: I propose a temporary truce with the tankies and nazis so we can all laugh at the anarchists trying to unite
Always trying to truce with the tankies and nazis, but the tankies end up executing you and the nazis always send you to the camps. Who could have predicted this?
points and laughs

now there’s a shit post. maybe the shittiest i’ve seen all week. real detached from reality, good job!
Tell me you’ve never read about anarchists without saying so.
This comment shows that you have no idea about the ideology of anarchy
their actions over the last 50 years have spoken so loudly i couldn’t hear what they were trying to say
Which actions were those?
Damn everybody seems to be hating on this and idk shit about the history of anarchy to say if it’s valid, but I gotta add that this quote goes hard
They are paraphrasing ralph waldo emerson
Your actions speak so loudly, I can not hear what you are saying.

But based on their user name they might be getting it more from the bad religion song “I want to conquer the world”
In the last 50 years the only significant anarchist movement was the zapatistas and the rojava. Neither they or your average anarchist activist are particularly fond of Israel’s domestic or foreign policies which to downpunxx means they’re antisemitic.
ok grandpa
Dude I say this sincerely, acting as an apolitical person for this discussion-
What?
Ladies and gentlemen: downpunxx
Easy fix though, he’s ban evading since his kbin account was already banned once.
That makes sense, I have them tagged as a fascist, though I don’t remember what they said to earn it atm.
as a dbzer9 instance user myself, yeah pretty much.
Sorry, you’re all getting techno-feudalism.
I want to argue but… I’m currently arguing with a company that won’t cancel a fraudulent order despite me having every single piece of information needed to do so. So they will get a chargeback after my card is replaced. Really trying to help them but they want that money lol
And then they’ll try to charge you to send it back even though it’s their fault.
I vibe with both anarchists (cool, helpful) and communists (smart, boring). Liberals drive me crazier everyday.
You have to learn to distinguish cool liberals, who are for individual freedom, democracy, progressive society; from the bad liberals who always side with private property against those things. The people in the first category are just confused; the people in the second category are actual class enemies. I acknowledge that these aren’t discreet categories and there will be some overlap, but winning people to your ideas slowly, over time – because these ideas are based in their material reality, which they need to test against their existing views – is the only way to get through to people. Sometimes the process is quicker, sometimes its slow, but its the only way to help people see the world for what it really is, and that together we can actually bring the fight to the ruling class.
I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said. I still get frustrated sometimes though!
It is frustrating in almost every way! I can summon a lot of optimism for the project of socialism and the historic role of the working class; but when it comes to the day to day its too easy to get disillusioned. Its supposed to be disillusioning! The tragic reality in the west is that in our alienation, our exploitation appears to us as comfort. Hang in there and take care of yourself!
Thanks, friendo! You too :)
Oh I’m sorry have a offended you by being PRO LIBERTY? No, you know what? Stop posting then since you hate liberty so much
I genuinely don’t know how to take this comment. Is it serious? Is it ironic? I’ve dealt with a lot of angry liberals today, so I feel it could be serious. On the other hand it’s giving ::Randy Marsh in handcuffs:: and so I think it might be a bit.
No what’s ironic is you taking that liberty to reply
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A room filled with Liberals. Liberals drive me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once.
It depends for me. The labels aren’t really useful if I don’t know the person. One kid I interacted with over a few months said enough in line with fascism that I call him that. Someone just telling me they’re communist, anarchist, liberal isn’t enough to really get their actual beliefs, given how much overlap and misuse of the terms there is. I will generally vibe with a more left leaning person, of course, so if any of those labels are used I’m like, cool, we’ll probably have good conversations. Even conservatives I’m opening up to. Republicans? My God. I blame my mental illnesses on that brain rot.
Liberalism is such a Boogeyman term on “the left.” Classical liberalism is very compatible with lib left ideals, and in many ways informs that philosophical lineage. Everyone gets wrapped up in the idea of private property being a core value, when it is really a corollary hanging off the core value of rights for the individual. Property or no property, the core idea is scarcity harm reduction. There are many ways to get there, and the best ones agree that licking some authoritarian boot is a terrible way to liberate people.
I’m not talking about “Liberalism”, I’m talking about “liberals”. They aren’t driving me crazy because of some obscure philosophical tenets, though “scarcity harm reduction” might do it.
