the knife missile is so emblematic of the entire military industrial complex. can’t stop engaging in unnecessary resource wars due to unnecessary casualties. instead, the military industrial complex will develop and sell a product to allow the killing of specific people in public spaces. and the more you think about the idea of being at a produce stand and someone standing next to you turning into a fine red mist, never to exist in physical space again, the more distopian it seems.

it reminds me of the episode of star trek where they encounter a planet that has eliminated war via coordinated computer simulations and voluntary genocides.

personally i chose the word based on russian president vladimir putin’s stated war aims of annexing Ukrainian territory to seize natural resources and ethnically cleanse the seized lands.

i felt it matches closely to former German chancellor adolf hitler’s stated war aims of annexing Ukrainian territory to seize natural resources and ethnically cleanse the seized lands.

let’s not forget one of the first actions of the american war of independence was protesters pelting british regulars with snowballs leading to said regulars opening fire

blue sky and wheat fields. the sunflower is a separate element of identity like how the trident coat of arms is. i can’t speak on this much further than that because my Ukrainian friends have such differing ideas of what these elements of identity represent and should represent and my outside perspective would only muddy the water of what should be an inside process to assign and evangelize meaning to these symbols

the regulations on intensity never presumed we’d use such small arrays to produce that intesity. in the cabin, the lights projected onto the road don’t seem that different from 20 years ago. but from the other way it’s dazzling

my c posts in my 2020 car are so big that i frequently have no idea there’s a pedestrian right in front of me about to enter a crossing. it stresses me out

i don’t know what you mean. anarchism is an extremely leftist position and the poster in question wasn’t on hexbear. the post that made it onto hexbear was a marxist-leninist effectively ignoring what the anarchist was saying critical analysis means to anarchists.

Ukraine is fighting for self defense. russia is fighting for lebensraum

i’ve been actively avoiding hexbear but i had nothing to do but laugh looking at their slop community misrepresenting an anarchist saying that anarchists don’t just engage in critical class analysis but in other forms of hierarchical exploitation. like. the context was so completely obviously saying that anarchists engage in multiple forms of anti-authoritarianism, and class is one of them

i guess marxist can only be marxist? they can’t ever apply critical analysis to anything else?

most other fediverse softwares have blocks run two ways to reduce risk of harm via stalking, brigading, and dogpiling. there’s a difference between muting someone and blocking them on things like mastodon. on lemmy blocks are equivalent to mutes on mastodon

a company has no moral guiding principals outside of monetary gain. its board of directors members may have their own individual viewpoints, but as a collective, a corporation is representative only of the shareholder’s shared interest in making some money. if they wanted anything else, they would collectivize into another form.

generally speaking the best, i mean the best, you can expect from a BoD member is liberalism and all that entails. from a liberal perspective, pacifism is a virtue to be signaled, not an overall approach to the world with a goal of bringing about a just and fair society. liberals preaching non-violence don’t really care if someone is preaching violence so long as they don’t practice violence and the results of the preaching of violence remain unseen.

that’s how you wind up with liberals saying that the founder of turning point usa did things the right way and denouncing someone doing exactly the things he said were good to do, but moreover, denouncing people who have trained in violence accessing that violence in self defense. in the fight between fascism and anything other than fascism, violence must be used to denounce fascism because it is the only language fascists speak. you can use non-violence to interact with other political positions. those are positions who do not practice solely violence. but fascism believes access to violence grants license to use that violence. you can only counter this belief by rendering it scared to show itself in public

CoMaps is GOATed. i need to make some edits in my neighborhood

there’s a reason i coalition build best with religious anarchists while myself being an agnostic. there’s actually a ton of radical political thought in theology if you can get away from a hierarchically programmed preacher long enough to study it yourself.

there’s a song i love titled Owed to a Hypocrite about how the politician and the preacher walk down the road hand in hand oppressing all us regular people

what’s google got to do with it? this is an article about a product develeped at GitHub (now a microsoft subsidiary) causing problems with Windows and the thumbnail is showing produts from the following companies:

• facebook
• discord
• microsoft
• microsoft
• microsoft
• microsoft

like. look. i hate google. they partner with israel to conduct genocide (don’t use waze, btw, or better yet, don’t use any google products). but this seems like not looking at the whole of how evil all of big tech is just to focus on how evil one company in big tech is

“unused ram is wasted ram”

yeah yeah yeah, great. but all you motherfuckers did that and i’m fucking out of ram.

nobody gives a fuck about that land except for the people who live on it, the people who live near it, and the people who have spent a generational fortune to occupy it and use it as a starting point for the next partition.

which all told is a great number of people.

not to mention the last set of security guarantees Ukraine received have turned out to be empty promises so, surprise surprise, they’re not willing to cede land for more empty promises

i’d just worn out a wallet after a couple years and was working my first job and wanted something that would last. the old wallet had worn out in the crease of the bifold

i used to have this wallet. it’s a wallet with a metal frame. it’s not very comfortable to carry. i bought it after searching “most durable wallet” and getting one of those seo bullshit ad sites before i knew better in 2018

they tout revelations as proof they need to gather their strength and expel jews to israel. meanwhile revelations describes an unchristlike figure corrupting religion to enact mass suffering. it says that the followers of this figure will not enter the kingdom of heaven, but the followers of the true church, a small number, will.

these chucklefucks are, by their own theology, paving their way into hell

trolls taking to the streets has taken a new timbre
