The First International Syndicalist Congress was a meeting of European and Latin American syndicalist organizations at Holborn Town Hall in London that began on this day in 1913. The congress was attended by 38 delegates representing 65 organizations from Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, with a total membership between 220,000 and 250,000.

Despite being marked by heated disagreements over both tactics and principles, the Congress succeeded in creating the International Syndicalist Information Bureau as a vehicle of exchange and solidarity between the various organizations, and the "Bulletin international du mouvement syndicaliste" as a means of communication. It would be viewed as a success by almost all who participated.

How does the whole “critical support” thing work with places where the whole social climate would interfere with my desire to push for LGBT rights (and fundamental self preservation as a consequence), anyhow? Genuflection is not an option I am willing to even consider, so getting along with some of these people seems borderline impossible.

My older - also gay - sibling may have sucked it up and learned to hide like a coward for the sake of getting by back in the early '00s, but I swore long ago I wouldn't do that. Not for anyone. Not for anything.

Anyone got that clip of Xi (actually just a guy who looks like him) running across like a Takeshi's Castle style floating bridge thing while some onlookers gawk?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That wasn't actually Xi, it was just a dude that looked like him.

the trick is that i'm in a party that kinda cares about actual people
but i refuse point blank to condemn our anarchist siblings in their extremely valuable on-the-ground work that materially impacts people's lives
larpers refuse to understand this lol

Ran 5.65 km at like 1 AM (tfw nocturnal sleep schedule) and really pushed myself. Feels good, man.

Felt. I should be diurnal myself and used to run 12 miles after biking home from second shift shit.

If you made a movie where Willem Dafoe plays the prophet Muhammed would that be considered a depiction of Muhammed thatd need to be censored or does that only count for drawings?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Im pretty sure it would count as a depiction of Muhammad

Been playing The Game with the Roman Empire for longer than I care to count.

Hey, I need some suggestions for a costume I want to do for Christmas. I've got a really cute reindeer horns and tail set and some lederhosen, but I want my nose to glow red like Rudolph. They have those costume noses you can wear but what I was thinking was get a single red LED and stick in in my nose. I wear glasses so I could feasibly run a wire up my glasses and behind my ear for a battery or whatever. What would be the best way of setting something like that up do you reckon?

Could I get Hexbear mod/admin weigh in on the correct behavior when federated posts like https://hexbear.net/post/697637 hit my feed, from a user whose bio is "Anarchists are the real enemies of Marxism"? Should I block and move on? Should I report? They're abiding by their communities rules, we're on friendly terms with lemmygrad, but, like, this is on my hot page on Hexbear and would violate hexbearian rules.

Also WolfWolf I appreciate you.
