To me "unfiltered" and "celebrating the diversity of political thought" means "allowing fascism and fascism-adjacent speech." I go on this site precisely because we generally don't allow such nonsense to be posted. Filtering speech is a necessary part of creating a good community.

The #1 rule of Christianity is to love your neighbor as you love yourself. It's clear that many so-called Christians are not following this simple rule.

Bibi wouldn't do that because the US supplies the weapons for his war. Even he is probably not dumb enough to bite the hand that feeds him. The more likely scenario is that the US supports Israel using nukes and vetoes any actions the UN takes against them. "Israel has a right to defend itself" and all that nonsense.

Those are green peppers to avoid divulging my time zone.

No worries. It's a reasonable question to ask.

I didn't know it had anything to do with /g/. I found it on Tumblr. Anyway I am a lesbian myself so I think it's OK for me to have a background with lesbians in it.

It looks like they are 18 and 19, my liege. https://vndb.org/v16610/chars

behold!

Yes. Socialist societies have libraries, too, to great effect.

I've got no idea but I would like to know!

LMAO

Can we only hope that this doesn't come to pass? Or is there something that we can do to head it off?

If you touch the computer for long enough, the computer will also touch you.

If you read my post carefully, you'll see I said anarchists don't get as strong pushback from the state. I stand by that statement 100%. It doesn't mean that I think anarchist movements don't face repression from the state. Getting targeted by sweeps is not in the same ballpark as Mccarthyism, Cointelpro, and assassinations of leadership. As MLs we seek to build enough power to credibly challenge the power of the state, and that naturally provokes a proportional response from the state and requires an adequate defense from the state. That's not to say that anarchist movements don't have value especially given how thoroughly ML movements are coopted and repressed. It makes sense to provide mutual aid in the short term especially given how oppressed people can be in this country, and you're doing good work. But it's not a movement that needs to be defended in the same way as it's more compatible with the existing state than what we're trying to do.

In my view, in the US it comes down to obstacles to organizing ML movements. Anarchists don't get as strong pushback from the state because they're less of a credible threat to state power if things "get out of hand." CHAZ, for example, didn't last long and didn't overthrow state power. Because of the instability of large-scale anarchist organizations and the tendency of their movements to fizzle out, the US government doesn't need to put as much effort into Cointelpro, infiltration, and wrecking efforts. The need to protect against police infiltration and the extensive false consciousness, chauvinism, and anti-intellectualism of American settlers and labor aristocracy means that you need to spend a lot of time and effort vetting and training new members, of whom there are not that many candidates in the first place. Then, suppose you successfully organize a vanguard party, which currently doesn't exist even in a nascent form. In that case, you need to get broad support among the people heavily affected by false consciousness, which requires extensive and expensive propaganda campaigns. Adopting a cell-based organizing system like al-Qaeda is necessary for the long-term success of underground or illegal Marxist-Leninist organizing in the United States, as such organizations are harder to infiltrate. It becomes difficult to organize a vanguard party under such circumstances.

Germany is absolutely backsliding.

haha

I'm already financially supporting the child who owns my apartment complex.

I'd recommend a refurbished macbook pro instead. Getting one with an m2 pro chip would be ideal. Overheating is not a concern.
