Somewhere between a lib and and tankie. Depends whose asking.

  • Failure to reform gains support for a revolution. Threat of a revolution makes reform possible. Realistically, they should go hand in hand.

    Its probably a good label for me, I just don't like the word centrist lol.

  • Anti-authoritarianism is weird because it sees government authority as an ultimate evil but private entities authority as the status quo.

    Private banks forcing people out of their homes? Thats a good society. Government doing the same and distributing it? Authoritarian evil.

    Then if there is a successful revolution - anything the revolutionaries do is now authoritarian because they took over the government.

  • I actively try to avoid him and youtube still throws his or his long-haired doppelganger's videos in my feed. Its not this shitpost that's spreading his name around.

  • John Harvey Kellogg was a surgeon who performed circumcisions. He believed they were an effective treatment for "addiction to masterbation".

    There are conspiracy theories (misconceptions?) that he popularized circumcisions in America. Or that Corn Flakes were created to curb masterbation urges - because they are so bland that obviously no one would want to jerk it after eating that.

    Idk where I'm going with this, but John Harvey Kellogg was a weird fucking dude.

  • First they came for the lemm.ee's - and I didn't say anything, because I wasn't a lemm.ee.

  • Nooo they messed up all the funny colors 😡

  • It called me a "Centrist Marxists" and I feel insulted

  • Okay, so democrats may not be harm reduction, but they'll... checks notes ...look the other way as others cause harm?

  • Damn, "Mumford and Sons banjoist ousts himself as conservative" was not on my bingo card.

  • Ouch... My feelings.

  • lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse

  • I'm going to be a part of an invite only community?! Of course, given the circumstances, this is pretty fucked. But I feel kinda fancy right now.

    Thanks for all you do on lemm.ee

  • Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

  • I gotchu (rule)

  • So if more people attempted conversations like you, there would be less animosity?

  • lmao how do you type this and think its the other people who are smug

  • I think it depends. Lets say you dont have an opinion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, thats understandable. It takes a decent bit of information to form your opinion.

    But let's say you don't have an opinion on trans rights. That will raise some red flags. It should be pretty simple to gather an opinion on that.

  • I see 196 is going through its electrical phase. Most of the time, there are three.

  • What are you doing step-volt?!

  • So would I. I currently work for a public utility and would happily continue even if we had everything covered. Someones got to do it and its satisfying to help out.

    From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs. Wouldn't that be nice.
