My own experience with local organizing in the Imperial Corps is similar but different in important ways.

The local communist group is trying to be active in impactful wats, especially around Palestine, which is awesome. At the end of the day, we work with a ton of people that are not communists, which is great! We're trying to bring people in, and after all, the group that we are directly participating in is a pro-Palestine group, not communist directly.

But many of the core members seem to have a lot more emphasis on building "us", instead of helping Palestine. And that has rubbed a bunch of people, including me, the wrong way. In fact, they aren't necessarily ultra-communists that are armchair theorists, but unfortunately they just aren't seemingly doing the work that the public actually wants.

To be fair, organizing around my area is really tough. There's a ton of anarchists who would rather just light fires and walk away than do what we would call principled work, communist or not.

Don't feel bad about not wanting to participate in the purists or the ones that maybe don't have their heart in the right place. It's totally fine, and it doesn't make you a liberal, and I don't think anybody on here is gonna think less of you for it.

Okay, feels like three per day is still a lot. Nobody's out there writing three books per day. Unless this is, like, a publisher limit.

Also I'm pretty sure I bought one of those AI books, for embedded development, a while ago. I would be pretty pissed off about it, but actually it was so poorly formatted and weird that bit was pretty funny. It was like 12 bucks for a joke.

Now it's a good way to show to people that AI generated slop even exists in book space, a cheap lesson.

I got the proper textbooks too, so I did get the information I was looking for.

Okay, that sounds freakishly like H. John Benjamin. If it's not him or an AI voice of him, I would be surprised.

Funny stuff though!

I'm gonna keep in mind what you and others have said that this is nothing new and I don't have to panic. At least I know this wave will pass like every other.

It sucks though. I feel unironically red-pilled. Just a different perspective on things and it's weird.

I used to have such strong positive feelings for Democrats and such strong negative feelings for Republicans and I remember literally feeling back in the day that I could not imagine feeling any differently. Now I hate them both (for sifferent reasons) and that's just a weird feeling.

If China was doing this the west would call it genocide.

Fucking got me! Expert trolling here.

Oh boy, yeah, I was in high school around that time. Not super conscious about things, but man, I can imagine that the internet of the day was certainly on fire.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Yeah, the long story short about that is I have made some strides and joined FRSO and have talked to some people, and even was organizing until life caught up recently (medical, work). The group is very small, very limited where I am and I'm outside the city nowadays, so it's a lot harder for me to do in-person events.

Im planning getting re-involved, but that's gonna take awhile unfortunately.

Sad, but at least I see it now :/

 

I ain't young, but this is my first election where I am a real lefty, and... Has it always been this bad?

The liberal seething is just disgusting right now. You can't be on any place of the internet that has any discussion about politics whatsoever.

If you suggest that the Democrats should be better, then you get called out for trying to make Trump president

If you respond that now is the time to actually put pressure on candidates because they're running for office and in any fucking reasonable place, this is where they would make campaign promises and you can demand stuff out of them, then they say that you're being a fascist.

The liberal propaganda is just mind numbing.

Even the traditionally leftist places on Reddit (a place I visit very infrequently, so small changes add up over time when I visit and see the crazies have come out of the woodworks) are getting inundated with a bunch of "but the GOP is worse", and "we have to compromise" and blah blah blah. Even in some commie spaces.

Like I understand not being a doomer, and trying to actually make things better in the meantime while we build forces for the revolution, but holy shit, it's like Anyone to the right of Marxist Leninists have immediately caved to pressure.

My God, that is beautiful.

 

Apparently, he didn't get that close before he was caught in the bushes at Trump's Mar-a-Lago golf course. Shots were fired, but it might have just been shots between Secret Service and him. The shooter was caught after a camera picked up his license plate after somebody took a picture of his car as he was fleeing.

 

Article title: Ex-Google CEO says successful AI startups can steal IP and hire lawyers to ‘clean up the mess’

Okay, I editorialized the title a bit. Basically, Eric Schmidt said that if you were to build a competitor to TikTok after it gets banned using AI, then you could just steal all of the IP, and if your company was not successful, then nobody really cares. But if your company was successful, then you would have the money to pay off the lawyers to get you out of a jam.

It is a rather obvious acknowledgment that money and success tend to generate more money and success. One can engage in dishonest acts, cheating, stealing IP, etc. as long as they possess the money to hire lawyers to get themselves out of the situation.

They even took down the talk from YouTube because of how bad it looked.

And I thought Musk and Trump were the only one stupid enough to admit the obviously evil shit.

 

Just heard about this organization called Operation Olive Branch. They claim they are:

Grassroots movement to support & amplify aid requests of Palestinian families.

Since I know a lot of organizations like this can be fishy, and/or outright scams, so I'm wondering if people have experience with, them or have any reason not to trust them.

Thanks all.

 

A cybersecurity company started by 4 Israeli military officials is going to be potentially acquired by Google for $23 billion.

Anyone that tells you that Israel and America don't collude is either bullshitting you, or incredibly uninformed.

America keeps Israel going, without the USA it would fall instantly due too it's apartheid. Their genocidal military sets them up to be capitalist billionaires.

Remember kids, they don't fight fair. You don't have too either.

 

It's a personal story and he goes through a bit slow but he does get to the point. Basically capitalism has ruined medicine and the actual ways to solve most medical issues cannot be recommended because they don't make a lot of money.

 

Obvious bullshit is obvious, but i don't have time to track down the source of this. They say every conspiracy theory starts with a grain of truth, but of course it doesn't have too!

Anyone know what three libs are talking about here? A misunderstanding or just a lie?

 

Hey all, if there is a better place to put this, please let me know.

jewish community foundation of los angeles

Does anyone have any knowledge about the donors or donor history from this group? Looks like they are very tight lipped about who donates to them, though it appears to be over a thousand sources and millions of dollars. Helping out a friend look into some background information.

 

(Reposted since this is a better community for this)

Even the liberals are starting to catch on that China is outpacing the United States in terms of EV production and quality. This is a shot from one liberal to another that they are failing to meet the market demands, and China is doing much better than us.

This person actually calls out the USA’s protectionist policies and claims that they aren’t here to protect users, but to prevent their car companies from being completely out-competed by China.

Hello comrades! I am in the position now that I can start helping out with some organizing and I'm looking for some tips.

First, a general question. Can anyone provide some resources for protesting tips? Anything from safety, legality, and how to be successful? I have come across very sparse help in the past, but I'm sure there's some resources out there that people have written down.

Second, a more specific question. Does anybody have a good recommendation for a sound amplifying machine? Something bigger and more boisterous than a simple loudspeaker. Price is reasonably flexible. I have some money set aside I can spend on this in the hundreds of dollars.

It's probably necessary to know that I live in the United States in the Pacific Northwest, but I won't get any more specific than that. Point me in the right direction and I can figure it on my own. I'm just looking for places to get started. Also, I am not alone in my organizing, so I don't plan on doing anything without referencing the more experienced people around me.

Thank you for everyones help and recommendation, comrades.

It's time to put my money where my mouth is and buy some flags.

I don't want to have to support Amazon if i don't have too. But if thats the best way, so be it, recommendations on high quality flags from amywhere welcome.

I was going to search history, but im mobile atm and I can't find search for posts.

Also looking for who I can donate to that will actually get supplies on the ground. I knew of one but cannot for the life of me remember the name. Life has pulled me away from politics for awhile, trying to get involved again.

Thanks for resources comrades.
