Yes, worsening conditions mean people need scapegoats. The people in charge of the political machine may not even necessarily be scapegoating (though they often are). Sometimes there’s just a cultural search for explanations and the reactionary reasons happen to win out by the time they reach the ears of someone who can do something about it. Also, improving conditions make it easier for activists to operate. More resources, more hope, more free time, less death. It’s not a 1-to-1 link and there are other factors, but there’s a connection. You can also look at things like unequal distribution of prosperity. The success of the black suffrage movement in the US followed a boom where white Americans came into tremendous wealth which wasn’t shared among the black population. And where black communities were able to get some for themselves and develop their own prosperity, towns were bulldozed, flooded, or otherwise destroyed. And of course we already know about things like red lining. Prosperity plays a major part in that story.

I believe it was originally squatted on by some maga communist type. Kinda like how magacommunist.com redirects.

While this quote does not encapsulate marx’s entire view on the state, it shows that Marx sees that the state is bourgeois and therefore antagonistic to the proletariat.

I understood why the person made this mistake, but goddamn it was funny to watch them repeatedly double down on it.

Hasan covered it in full and Destiny in turn covered Hasan’s coverage, resulting in Destiny rage quitting his stream multiple days in a row.

I first joined up almost 4 years ago following the r/chapotraphouse ban. It feels like it’s been so much longer.

Could be fluidity. Could be repression. Could be random fluctuations that you’ll probably never really decipher. Whether or not you wanna try and understand it better is up to you and it’s valid either way. My dysphoria comes and goes, sometimes for long periods of time. But it’s not like cis people never have any natural desires or curiosity about gender experimentation. I think it’s normal.

It’s one thing I miss from before the de-fork. Legacy Hexbear embeds were handled better, although probably with more privacy concerns like auto loading google forms and stuff like that.

Now there is a possibility that I am trans, but does it honestly matter if I don't transition and live my whole life as a guy ?

Self knowledge is worth something on its own. There are plenty of trans people who live as their assigned gender and have no plans to transition. There’re valid reasons for this and safety is a big one, physical, social, and psychological alike.

I present as my assigned gender because the fluidity and androgyny I’d prefer is very difficult to achieve for various reasons. I still get a lot out of understanding my dysphoria as such and doing tiny little subjective things that feel gender affirming to me throughout my day.

It’s also helped me massively just in terms of my self worth and in terms of dealing with my body dysmorphia.

0% chance this person has a threat model that necessitates not being tracked in their car. That said, most modern cars have similar tracking abilities and simply don’t expose them via an app.

Edit: I didn’t catch that it was in r/adultery. Good lord.

It’s open source, so you can use their official hosted service or you can self host for free.

Loomio

It’s project management software made by and for worker cooperatives. It’s useful for any kind of organization where you want to be able to scale without introducing management hierarchy, want members to be able to come and go, and just generally value transparency and spontaneity.
