Pure objective fact lmao cmon. Okay I hear you though, I wasn’t sure what you meant by communism but I think I get what you mean now. I’m only something of a Marxist and I don’t really consider myself a communist in that sense If you’re interested in a discussion let’s try to find some common ground. What aspects of capitalism do you like? Markets and decentralized production? I like those too, although I think they should be used as means to an end, not worshipped as the end itself.

You clearly have a stereotype in mind. Anarchists come in all shapes and sizes and all walks of life. As an example, David Graeber was a level-headed, down-to-earth author, a respected academic, who wrote some incredible books which I all recommend (and they aren’t anarchist theory books, they cover various topics and are easy and fun to read)

You didn’t answer my question and you ignored my point.
Communism can mean many things, and many things that call themselves communism have very little to nothing to do with what Marx wrote about. As an aside, Marx was not just a grumpy philosopher, he was also an economist who laid the foundation for thinking of the economy in terms of power, ownership and democracy. The Marxian school of economics is still influential today.
Your ramblings about “communism has always failed” leads me to believe that you are talking about Marxism-Leninism, which I also believe is outdated and dominated by dogmatic thinking, but I digress. Let’s increase our scope to socialism as a whole. Now let me rephrase: Existing socialism has worked many times, but has always been stomped out by brutal capitalist imperialism. A brief look at the history of central and south america, and all other colonially exploited areas should show you that the system that has produced the most suffering, destroyed the most democracies, is capitalism. Let me rephrase: Capitalism has never worked.
So again, what kind of economic system do you advocate for?

I can confirm your statement about Germany haha but I’ve never seen a 24hr supermarket in the Netherlands or France either

Communism can mean a lot of different things. What kind of economic system do you advocate for?
- Comment on You have nothing to lose but your brains 2 weeks ago:
It means “session”, which also derives from sitting.

It shouldn’t be for anybody who calls themselves an anarchist

The app starting with K is probably a nod to how KDE names many of their projects something that starts with K. (Konsole, Kate, Kdenlive, Krita).
The litoris part probably refers to how linux apps often name things after random weird stuff, e.g. gimp, but it’s not always genital/sexual related I guess.

I’ve never heard gimp used that eay luckily, only the sexual slave fetish thing.
Pinta is more of a paint.NET alternative than a gimp alternative

Maybe it’s a learned behavior passed down through generations? I once heard that the reason housecats get stuck in trees is because they weren’t taught how to go down (backwards). Could be BS tho

Fair enough, although at that point I’d just use the fediverse, which despite it’s relatively small userbase actually has a lot of tech people

It’s not that it’s more evil than other social media, it’s just such a shit platform. Everybody is posting their performative BS to try and look professional, it’s a massive circlejerk. Nothing of value posted there

In general I think it’s fine if people know what they want and look for it. The weird/problematic thing IMO is that this became something of a trend (although still exaggerated by social media), where it’s not just a small selection of people with very specific preferences. I agree it’s dumb to restrict yourself like that, especially if you just do it because other people do it and not because it’s actually a core requirement for attraction.
Also adolescence extending to 32 makes about as much sense to me as green extending all the way to blue. We don’t need to call people children to recognize they do be silly sometimes

Yeah I feel you. The Belgian dürüm variety is actually quite good, if very different. Fries in there and a crazy sauce selection absolutely slaps.
