I’m hoping for a solarpunk anarchist future

No lol. Even attempting to be a dictator would go against my core principles. We don’t have to agree on everything or even a lot, but “dictators are bad actually” is one of them.

Exactly, that’s what a neoliberal echo chamber like R*ddit does. It reinforces neoliberal monoculture. So it’s not shocking that, when I leave that neoliberal echo chamber, the world seems a lot less neoliberal.

IMO Lemmy has revealed that people around the world are more left-leaning and class conscious than I thought back when I was on R*ddit.

All the content is on the extremist-side, enforces attitudes perfect to embolden class wars …

Yes, unironically and openly, I support and advocate for class war against the capitalist class. The capitalist class wages their class war against the working class every single day in every single facet of modern existence. It’s well past time we start fighting back as an exercise of our own individual and collective self-defense. Class consciousness should never have been controversial, and it is only controversial because it encourages people to challenge capitalism.

… and young people (no doubt the majority of people here) aren’t worldly enough to know the difference.

You don’t need any political knowledge to know my positions. I am literally an anarchist, and I have said so loudly and often. Like me, most of these “extremists” are open socialists and communists and will readily tell you their views and ideologies (many of whom I emphatically disagree with from their left, but I somehow suspect you would consider me just as “extreme”, namely for challenging the utility and inevitability of capitalism).

Where’s the trove of knowledge? The awesome positive hobbies? If it’s around, it’s all drown out by the manipulative noise.

Yes, it is a shame that capitalism drowns out all our hobbies, all our positive experiences, everything so completely that we need to waste so much bandwidth drowning out the manipulative noise peddled by capitalists on almost every other platform.

It’s full of AI-generated political memes and comments.

I don’t recommend completely blocking yourself off from politics forever, but if you really need to take a temporary break like everyone deserves, I recommend making an alt account with all political communities and posters blocked. But keep in mind…you might be done with politics, but politics is never done with you. In particular, capitalism is never gonna ask your permission to use and abuse you.

And really, this is a special case of the fact that you need to curate your own feed. Some other social networks do this for you in ways that compromise your privacy and, frankly, brainwash people into accepting the neoliberal monoculture.

As is good ole 'Murican tradition, blowing shit up nothing of value to capitalists 😈😈😈

How about US-American? Since there were other countries with the term “United States” in their name, and Mexico is officially the United Mexican States.

Like I’m American but I would be literally thrilled for America to be relegated to the dustbin of history.

I wish all Americans capitalists, the US government, and their vassal States to stop making everything about America.

Music production. It would have taken years after finishing recording school to even begin to break even, let alone make minimum wage, let alone make a living wage. All the entry-level gigs were one-time unpaid things.

I haven’t fully given up on music production forever because I’m too fucking stubborn, but I’m not making it my full-time job.

Cry, poop, or do other newborn stuff. But what else do babies actually do? 😆

Don’t worry I have an easy card game for you

Who are you and how did you get one of my forks? 😆

You can’t judge these people ideologically based on their public statements, political structures that back candidates are the only thing they are accountable to

You’re 100% right but it’s just… it’s hard sometimes not to try to find patterns in the noise. But it is just that…noise.

Eeeewww the lib-ification is beginning 🤮. This is why I don’t fuck with reformism 🤮🤮🤮

Wait is this a bit? Sorry, I’m not good with irony.

Liz Warren is a shitlib lol. Terrible, not radical in the slightest, saps radical energy and time and redirects it back into the system. So far Mamdani’s been way cooler.

Also I’m an anarchist-communist. I absolutely do not oppose Mamdani being radical. Actually, I consider him to be a moderate. Hell I would be literally thrilled if he went rogue. Going rogue against the terrorist American State should be considered the greatest service one could ever do for humanity.

I pray to fucking God he’s even a fraction as radical as he says he’ll be. Democratic socialism is like the bare fucking minimum.

🤮 bad feeling bad feeling bad feeling bad feeling bad feeling bad feeling

I argue that it is, in fact, a right-wing framing 😁. It’s a liberal framing, and liberals are right-wing.

“Defunding the police” is a liberal distortion of “abolishing the police”. Defunding the police uncritically reinforces the notion that police are a necessary part of a free society, but only need to be “debloated”. The militarization of police is not a bug; it’s a feature! It’s the police evolving into exactly what they are meant to be.

And the defunding the police issue perfectly reveals why liberals are right-wing: because liberals do not object to capitalism. The primary purpose of police is to deploy violence against the subjects in order to maintain capitalism—an oppression liberals have no problem with. Sure they are the left-wing of capital in the United States, but that still makes them right-wing in the large because they advocate for the unjustifiable hierarchy of capitalism and the existence of police to enforce that power.

Unfortunately, j has been acting irrational lately
