Hey! thank you! That's awesome news! I would like to see more discussion growing on the established sentiment (from what I remember, mind you) regarding "vegan capitalism" or "consumer veganism" or whatever. Basically, the idea that you aren't doing the right thing just by eating vegan foods, for example, if you are buying the impossible burgers from BK, or the almondmilk version of Ben and Jerry's. I think there is some room there to expand on these ideas and promote socialism.

wow! I have some reading to do! Thanks for all of these links o7

lol my internet sucks. Yes, I would be honored thanks

LOL i love it

Hey Muad! Sincere apologies not getting back to you. IRL has been crazy lately and put me into a weird headspace, I've been off social media for a while. Stoked that you are vegan, and would LOVE to learn about marxist vegan theory. I am a big fan of your work by the way (Lemmy, github, torrents)

Thank you! I had an argument with some streamer who said Apple are the best phones for privacy reasons, talking about the (IMO) sham case about feds not being able to access iPhone data and all I had at the moment was how corporations don't care about you and there is no oversight so we are taking them at their word when they say they won't spy on us. :thumbs up:

:smiling face with sunglasses: pretty much agree with @T34@lemmygrad.ml but also loving the headline :smiling face with sunglasses:

Lemmy is federated now, I think. Welcome to all African comrades ! All comrades are welcome, please share your perspectives <3

Why was this person banned, and what is this emulator for?

Grayzone contributors are some of the best accounts to follow.. This makes my stomach turn

"TACOMA WEEPS" lmfao

is this related to that the Element group that runs the peer streaming service? Also one of the weirdest experiences I've had online. /leftypol or something

peertube.social is the one i see @felipeforte@lemmygrad.ml posting on and it has 2k users, but I couldn't create account there (not allowed). I didn't want to join some random one, any suggestions?

How is it going on peertube? Is it a privacy oriented version of YouTube?

Wow! this is great! I can't believe the community is catching attention from giants like Mozilla

Hey, glad to hear it! How are users liking it?

i took a few months off from posting. I missed you all, and I'm glad to see new folks here. Congrats on the fruits of your labor comrades <3

In addition to being more secure from Western data-mining, I read once that Huawei is worker-owned. I plan to get one once my current phone breaks down (planned obsolescence :face with tongue: )

Hey comrade, I think your image broke. Maybe try posting again?

lmao easy meme, good meme

He slays Hitchens in the debate, idk what they are talking about. Also, there are Parenti playlists on YouTube I can dig up if they haven't already been posted. Parenti blew me away, and I've listened to his audiobooks as well, shoutout to comrade Dessalines for recording them

Funny how these texts from Dubois are omitted from history books in USA, same as the socialist views of MLK Jr.

Bless up, comrades

Why would we shoot him comrade? Although not a principled communist by any means (incoming Wikipedia quote):

"According to FBI surveillance reports, and confirmed by Tariq Ali in 2006, Lennon was sympathetic to the International Marxist Group, a Trotskyist group formed in Britain in 1968.[246] However, the FBI considered Lennon to have limited effectiveness as a revolutionary, as he was "constantly under the influence of narcotics."

I don't have technical questions, but what about political or opinion ones? Should comrades carry or leave it at home (in other words, is being armed routinely or just in the time of need more important)? By time of need, I'm referring to an organized call to action, not an unexpected danger (like a mugging).

I have a couple other questions that would be better suited for Element. ;)

before i had social media, i'd just take screenshots of things I liked online. Every once in a while, i find another folder of vintage memes

Absolute psychos. Where the hell is this hysteria coming from? never seen something like that before, except for anti-DPRK

I posted this over there since I've realized i don't plan on using that platform anymore. Hoping to shed light on these issues, but I'm kinda worried it might cause drama between our two instances

they're pretty good. not communists, but they are lefty at least. i usually like their videos

Interesting, have you shared your thoughts with other queers (is it ok as a noun)? What was their reaction? I'm happy using any term at all, but I wouldn't want to risk a first impression by using queer if it may be misunderstood.

I swear, YouTube is one of the most reactionary social media of all time. I only ever see good comments on obscure communist videos. I'm glad these dumbasses get roasted sometimes

IDK who any of these people are, and it can be a sign of grifting to be collecting on Patreon, but to play devil's advocate, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are. To be honest, just looking at that screenshot it does look HD and professional so I'd guess that they are well-off with YouTube and Twitch money alone, but just saying if you're a full-time content producer, you can have a Patreon without being a grifter.

Yes, Cuba has a strong LGBT community. I am glad to see equality in defiance of the empire

Who are these people? lmao

well said, comrades @calmlamp@lemmygrad.ml @Farmer_Heck@lemmygrad.ml . You two have a lot more experience with these types than I do, and I appreciate your insight.

First, I am not involved with that group, and am genuinely just asking questions. These are obviously bad things that you have pointed out that I would not attempt to defend. That said, you point to the origin and alleged trends of the group to discredit it. Does that mean that the ideology as a whole should be rejected from our instance? What about those that were unaware of its origins and simply wanted to establish a commune off-the-grid? In other words, if you were unaware of its racist origins and were not hateful as you claim many communities are? Also, are these online communities or IRL ones you have visited?

Now that I'm writing this up, I'm beginning to question whether these people would help us in a worker's revolution, so maybe it doesn't even matter and they belong on another instance.
