Propaganda is most effective when there is a kernel of truth.

I run a local MediaWiki appliance from turnkeylinux, super easy to spin up in proxmox.

Idk Still sounds to me like this is mostly a clever way to denigrate and dismiss people who aren’t doing things the “right” way.

And I also don’t buy that patriotic duty is the only motivation to work on improving things

But if it works for you then good on ya

I know that’s the argument but Framing it as ‘the new folks on the block don’t want to build bridges’ isn’t a very good way to build bridges.

Basically I think this whole analysis is a lazy way to dismiss the new left. Not that they’re perfect or anything, but I think there is an equal responsibility for both groups to work together.

With identity politics, it seems even worsened that the new left cares about ideological purity and sin which prevents coalition type movements.

This critique is pervasive and has always rung hollow to me when trying to navigate this divide. The onus is also on the old left to build bridges imho

Pretty damning with faint praise there really.

Just got to find the right contest, friend

The recrimination goes both ways is my point, and is to the detriment of both

It seems to me that the old left doesn’t want to play with the new left just as much as vice versa. Definitely a shame that they can’t work together better but blaming it all on the kids is a strangely conservative position for the ‘old left’ to take….

Apparently we yearn for our imperial chains

So debian with a really weird window manager?
