Imagine being one of the countries like Australia who still have to go through a humiliation ritual of pledging loyalty to the Commonwealth. Like it’s one thing for people who live in England. But an entirely sovereign nation pledging loyalty to it’s historical colonizer still? Utterly cucked.

For real. 40% isn’t nothing but holy shit can everyone wake the fuck up already please?

Typical Hasbara bot shit. It’s honestly just kinda tired and sad now. I don’t think these articles are hitting for the mainstream the way they did a year ago.

There are a lot of baby leftists in DSA, especially on the DSA right. In my chapter we are currently dealing with growing factionalism where we have a new caucus that rejects reading any theory of any kind to inform the work they are doing. They have no coherent goals behind “doing the work” as if that’s all we need to do to win power. That’s only half of the equation imo.

It’s actually fucking insane. Meanwhile my caucus is out here trying to push for a coherent, unified program within DSA so we aren’t like hundreds of small organizations working loosely under the same banner, all backed by theoretical and practical understandings of how you build worker power to push back on this bullshit we have going on in society today.

Surprise surprise when the group of actual studied, ideological Marxists have a better vision and path forward in mind.

Yep these are organizing opportunities to pull some of the more left curious libs into our orbit and to reform them. I’ve seen it happen many times over the past year or so.

Thank you for the write up! Also thanks for the links to the other fediverse stuff I joined Matrix the other day and was looking to continue exploring this whole thing!

Interesting! Thanks for this insight I’m currently spinning up my lemmy.ml account to access some of the communities I otherwise cannot interact with but I want to. All of this is making more sense as to why all the lemmy.world communities are listed there but not here under the “all” tab when you are searching.

This shit is so cool. I really like the whole lemmy concept even if there are some idiosyncrasies to learn at the start.

OH I think I get it now. You can kinda subscribe to whatever but some instances have “shadowbanned” the leftist instances and their users. I think this also explains why my subscriptions to the lemmy.world communities are still pending.

This megathread has been very useful I am wrapping my head around the whole fediverse concept more now. Thank you!

In your experience do people typically have multiple accounts for stuff like this? I ended up keeping my lemmy.ml and hexbear accounts bc I am lazy and didn’t want to do the vetting again but it seems that maybe there is more utility to them to be able to communicate with instances they are federated with but we are not.

Maybe you can provide some clarification for me as a new user. When I found out about the Deprogram subreddit ban I found out about Lemmy and signed up on the 3 leftist instances because I didnt understand how it worked. I also signed up on Lemmy.world and Lemmy.zip but I deleted them after I figured out the federation part of this and decided I wanted my account to be based on one of the leftist instances.

I ended up choosing Lemmygrad mostly because the Deprogram subreddit was a big one I used all the time and it’s exhausting having libs constantly attacking you for making innocuous comments about leftist thought. Kinda got over having to have my metaphorical guard up all the time.

BUT I am now subbed to a bunch of instances on lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and hexbear. Also a few others not on those ones. I’ve found myself able to interact and all that but from your message it sounds like there are downsides that I don’t quite get.

Like from what you have said, if I make a post on Lemmygrad it doesn’t show up on other instances or something like that? I’ve been making posts and comments in other instances and it seems to all work? Ultimately I don’t really know if I care all that much but I’m seeking to understand further.

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this type of questions I know there is a place do these and what I’m asking has probably been answered a ton already.

Personally I use Proton for email and have really loved it.

Every day I am overcome with rage and shame at videos like this. When will the depravity end? What else can I do to make it stop? We got our local city to divest from Israel and that was definitely something, but it just feels like no matter what we do it’s never enough. We must live with the resilience and steadfastness that the Palestinian people have shown us time and time again. Anything less than that is turning our backs on them I feel.

Cuba has a novel vaccine for lung cancer lol

What kind of failed state pumps out some of the best doctors anywhere in the world?

Always “Gazans” with these mfers and never “Palestinians”.
