We also asked for your favourite anarchist or pirate. We're not just techie :)

In case you didn't know, OSS stands for Open Source Software, like Firefox, Linux, Lemmy etc ;)

Never heard of such modules. What are they?

[–] db0 6 points 2 days ago

I'd argue earlier. Before the largest digg exodus. 2010 already had custom subs and supported some niche comms

Yes, we have way higher percentage of neurodivergent people here and I love it.

Nah, I don't drink colas and these lux drinks tend to be Hella expensive

Yeah man, you're right. People should absolutely criminally implicate themselves online for you enjoyment. 'fuck outta here.

I agree that building more coops and councils is a good start. I do want us to be politically effective too, though. When I say "politically", I'm not talking about electioneering or participating in liberal democracy. I'm talking abeut building power. Expanding the message. Growing coalitions. Growing the movement. That can't be done if all were focused on is endless gatekeeping and purity testing 24/7.

All that is done naturally by taking part in horizontal orgs.

Also, I disagree that taking one day to cast a vote ballot is asking too much.

Then you're missing the forest for the trees. Elections is not "one day to cast a vote", it's years long process wasting millions of volunteer work hours, mental health and goodwill.

But you response shows me you were just wasting my time. You weren't trying to learn, you were trying to prove a point to some imaginary audience.

Where's the practice, though?

These are the practice! Join/Start cooperatives. Join/Start worker's unions!. Join/Start neighborhood communes and so on! Anarchism is all about action right now!

Also, none of this is mutually exclusive with harm reduction.

First of all, elections are not "harm reduction". Actual harm reduction is actually doing what I wrote above.

Second of all, yes it is. You cannot put your effort into direct action for mutual aid, AND waste your time electioneering as well.

Did he forget that they had a nuclear deal that the US pulled out of?

As an aside, I've seen this happen elsewhere as well. Classic play for wage theft. When I was working as a bartender in London to make ends meet, I had a coworker from Mexico on an expired visa. Great guy and the most hardworking. Well won't you guess it, guy got picked up by immigration authority on payday.

I didn't think I could hate Facebook and the rich techbros any more than I already do, but holy shit, this book is making want to start learning how to build guillotines.

It also does a great job on showing how power and wealth just make people into sociopathic simulacra of humanity.
