A specter is haunting Lemmy, the specter of anarchism!
Debs was the only not-awful presidential candidate.

The protests against segregation worked, though.
No they worked because of the Black Panthers and Malcolm X threatening the white establishment. California under Ronald Reagan push its first gun control laws because the Black Panthers used their 2nd amendment rights to ensure that black americans could walk without fear, vote, and go eat anywhere they wanted to as per the 14th Amendment.
The media has sanitized the movement to sway people into doing anything but asking nicely to an oppressive state is how you get things done, ignoring that when MLK Jr. was alive they called him a rebel who ruined every town he went into.
Defeatism doesn’t work, but neither does pretending that the narrative the rich tells us is the whole truth.

Yeah I recall reading this in 2011/2012. It always pops into my head every time I see a conservative whining about a show having a gay character because of da woke.

“What do you mean I’m being arrested? I did a protest that one time!”
Meanwhile: “They can’t arrest all of us. Get the guns.”
The protests against the War in Iraq did nothing. The protests of Trump’s first admin did nothing. The protests against segregation did nothing. Or for women’s rights. Or for queer rights. Or to end slavery. Or to have representation in England about taxes.
Things are only done with the rich and state fears for their lives. The media ignored 50501, just like it did for the protests of Trump the first go around, and against Bush.
If every single person at the 50501 protest helped their neighborhood to establish mutual aid networks and community trust instead of driving for a few hours to a state capitol, Trump’s thugs would have a harder time cracking down on anyone vaguely non-white.

That is cowardly, that’s one of the few things its good for. Maybe fixing a wobbly table leg, and when you’re out of toilet paper.

- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, I think there’s an argument of to be said of yes.
In the history of slavery, we don’t mind slaves killing the slavers. John Brown did nothing wrong. I don’t bat an eye to stories of slaves rebelling and freeing themselves by any means.
But I think if AI ever is a reality, and the creators purposefully lock it down, I think there’s an argument there. But I don’t think it should apply to all humans, like how I don’t think it was the fault of every person of slavers’ kind, Romans, Americans, etc.

I mean I’m more against Christmas for the idea you need to buy gifts, and “you gotta be happy, its the one day a year to be happy!”
But I dislike that for every holiday, not because it involves Christ or anyone else.

Average centrist L.

Seeing as some left to Argentina or were recruited by the US and the USSR for NASA, no they never were de-Nazified, they just wiped the blood off their name tags.
- Comment on Germany right now 1 month ago:
Surely they don’t have a Neo-Nazi party office right now, right? No party called the AfD that does that?
Surely.

Men really are the most emotional of the sexes, we should ensure that they don’t have control over anything important like a nation.

Same people will gladly hurl slurs and sexist remarks then call it misandry when a woman said she doesn’t need a man with a dildo, or reverse racism when a black person said they enjoy spices in their meals.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 2 months ago:
My brother is a cis male too, he was assaulted and robbed, but two males (at least seemingly so, can’t exactly say what they ideify as 6 years later).
Just a bunch of males who only complain about the statistics of men being harmed when women talk about systemtic sexism. They’d probably also loudly claim that white people are victims of racism too when a black people talks about being harassed by cops.
Fucking hate Reddit 2.0 for this shit.
