Are you looking to read into the history or theory of communalism? The Communalist Project is a good place to start for theory, it’s a pretty short essay though. Anything bookchin wrote in the mid-90s-00s is squarely in the Communalist arc of his theory. His early writings are also great though. You really can’t go wrong with him
- Comment on Everybody gangsta until the fbi bust in 2 weeks ago:
I was referring to kaczynski with the anprim stuff, and I was definitely being a bit reductive with bookchin. I view communalism as another set of tools in the libertarian toolbox to build a horizontal society. There’s just tons of overlap in the libertarian left sphere, ideology and praxis-wise
- Comment on Everybody gangsta until the fbi bust in 2 weeks ago:
In the same way that the zapatistas aren’t anarchist but the venn diagram between zapatismo an anarchism is basically a circle? Or like how bookchin made a few tweaks to anarchism and called it communalism because he was annoyed with the popular individualist anarchist movements of the 70s-90s?
Sure, by that metric he isn’t an anarchist (specifically an anprim, which is distinct from other flavors of anarchism) but the differences are vague

Uncle Ted is a fun meme but individual action isn’t a solution to systemic problems. His anarcho primitivist (I know he didn’t claim the label, but c’mon) critiques are also founded on the flawed assumption that technology is the root of all evil. He harkens back to an idyllic past that never existed to justify his beliefs and actions. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? He’s just leftist edgelord Elliot Rodgers. In terms of defense, this is how being ungovernable looks Image

I have a very well stocked home bar and enjoy making fancy cocktails. My tiny ass freezer barely has room for the 5lb bag of ice I keep in there, let alone space for a fuckin mini cooler to make clear ice in. I also lack prep space to carve ice in my kitchen. You can make fancy drinks without fancy ice. It’ll still taste the sam, it just won’t look as pretty in the glass

Your scrotum doesn’t retain its elasticity forever. As people get older, their scrotums will begin to sag and droop. Also (this doesn’t apply to everyone), as you get older, your heart doesnt function as well as it used to, and this can cause fluid to pool (edema) in your lower half. The scrotum is one of the first places to begin accumulating fluid, causing it to not only sag, but also get significantly larger. This can lead to discomfort and injures.
With all that said, this thing is 110% fetish wear. Just wear briefs if your scrotum is super saggy

To add: get some cheap trauma shears. They work better than normal scissors for cutting through stuff, and could handle a normal belt pretty handily (if that’s your thing, still shouldn’t use one tho)

You should definitely play baldur’s gate! Very little resemblance to Skyrim besides being a fantasy game, but the story, build variety, characters, setting, literally everything, is fantastic. I’m almost through my first playthrough of bg3 and it’s been tons of fun

Two psychiatrists have told me that I almost certainly have ADHD but “we don’t diagnose controlled substances” so they weren’t going to formally diagnose me. It seems the only place I can get a diagnosis as an adult is private specialty clinics. I’m poor and the two clinics in my area aren’t sliding scale (which I can’t afford for most clinics anyway) so I just get to sit here with a confirmation of what I’ve known for years and no way to get it treated, or at the very least, put down on paper

🤷 that’s a christian-to-christian thing to determine. I’d love for that to be the case, but seeing as most Christian organizations are perfectly fine with the status quo, I don’t see that changing any time soon. Also, Martin Luther was a trash bag for plenty of reasons, I don’t see any point in seeking to align oneself with a raging misogynist, antisemite, and author of “Against the Murderous, Theiving Hordes of Peasants”, which was written in response to the German peasants war. Valid criticisms or not, the dude sucked and bred a religious movement that was just as bigoted, bloodthirsty, and money hungry as the catholics he was protesting

You’re right, I was just using that to highlight the differences between American and European protestant churches. Most american churches have ~75 congregants and are fairly small operations run out of buildings that weren’t built with the intention to be a church. As such, they usually lack the aesthetics associated with churches.
And to be fair, I’ve never been to a European protestant (of any variety) church, there’s a cultural image in america of what the average European church looks like, and it’s usually an older brick/stone building with high ceilings and round/arched windows, built with the intention of being a church. Many suburban american churches (this is where the folding chair trope comes from) looks more like this:
And this is a really nice example too, I had trouble finding one that reflected the true reality of many of these smaller churches.

Despite being called “non-denominational”, non-denominational christians are a broad group of independent churches and spiritual movements that fall under the protestant tradition. They aren’t a part of larger, more organized subsect of protestant like the baptists or lutherans, but their non-denominational-ism refers to not being a part of/neatly defined by an organized denomination of protestantism. Non-denominational Christianity can even be a nucleation point for new denominations, like the burgeoning evangelical movement that’s become a driving force in the fall of the american empire
- Comment on Why is Greg, Pastor of the Promised End playing guitar??? 3 months ago:
Plenty of protestant denominations have lost the plot on the whole “protesting” bit. Joel osteen and Kenneth Copeland’s churches are considered to be in the protestant vein of christianity and their whole thing is flaunting wealth and having big, expensive churches. Whether they should be considered protestant is for the various flavors of protestant to decide. As far as I’m aware, there’s no broad consensus that defines protestantism besides “likes martin luther”, and “not catholic/orthodox”

The post is referring to american protestant, as opposed to capital P Protestant churches. They’re usually in smaller buildings that aren’t full-time churches/ the space is often used for non-sermon church functions. For example, my childhood church was based out of a community center room that held ~40 people and hadnt been updated since the 80s

Just hopping in to glaze Anker a little bit too. I’ve had their 6ft prime (had to look up the model) braided cable for over a year now. It lives knotted up in my work/school bag. I’m not easy on any of my stuff and it’s worked perfectly and looks as good as new.
When I’m at work the cable is sitting on the floorboard of an ambulance cooking to death because the transmission is directly under the cab and heats the floor up so much I use it to warm my lunch. It’s been ripped out of its spot, stepped on, caught and pulled on things and just generally beaten up and still works great

Do keep in mind that “incrementally further right” is still fascism at this point. We’re past the point of debate on whether this is a fascist regime or not. Even the best case scenario, a Bernie-like figure will still be ineffective at corralling out descent into the depths of fascism. The state is beyond saving and we need to foster community strength and dual power structures to brace for the collapse and allow us to rebuild in the aftermath
