We as communists should definitely not dodge jury duty though.

Last time I had chili at the hexbear compound it was too spicy, and when I asked for milk you gave me soy milk and I said "nooo it doesn't gave the enzyme that disables capsaicin!" and you all called me a milkboy nerd while I cried into my chili.

I'll sort everyone into their houses. Sorry, you're Slitherin 😔

I'm getting the hose. We're gonna wash all these damn stinky owls once and for all.

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

I thought the green pepper was the gimp watermark

We have the highest respect for therapists here, that's why we're always watching/talking about our favorite guy

They're giving the vaccine in the neck now? Hardcore.

This may be irredeemably lib but is there a conversation to be had about the "supply side" vs. "demand side" of free speech? I think the argument that I have a right to access information that I want to access is essentially what people who aren't brainbroken think of when they say and hardly ever "People have the right to harass me in front of an abortion clinic"

I think I lean toward the idea that people would be able to generally make good and right decisions for themselves and others if they weren't bombarded with malicious disinformation at all times. Look at the example of m4a and adding dental and vision to Medicare. Initially support for both is like 85% then given a few months for multi-million dollar targeted misinformation campaigns it was down to just under half. No one ever said "hey, I'd just love to hear the oil companies' perspective on this healthcare stuff"

You can even say "Thank you for your perspective (majority/communication-privileged group), but I've already heard it and I'm trying to listen to (minority/silenced group) right now and you're limiting my freedoms by talking over them" which would drive them right up the wall.

Could this framing have any use to us?

My grandparents just got cop cameras (ring) and I don't want to go to their house anymore

Misandry and cis-phobia exists specifically within the context of hexbear though. I know because you never upbear my posts.

I self report all my best posts so the mods don't miss them! Here's another good one for you, mods. Ka-Chow!

Starting 2025 you are no longer able to unlock your bootloader on xaiomi devices.

They're leaning forward actually 🧢🧢🧢

Yeah I lean left

It isn't even just a single issue. If you will defend and fund genocide literally against your political interest what wouldn't you do?

What's that expensive grocery store in Cali with the $25 smoothies? That's how.

Not everyone is so apathetic about it. The billionaires building their apocalypse bunkers in abandoned missile silos certainly aren't. The people involved in ramping up the dehumanization of immigrants, preparing for the cruelty that will be inflicted upon the influx of those escaping man made "natural" disasters aren't. This is the sort of game which is won or lost before you start playing. It starts soon. We have to build that will now or else.

You do have to tailor the message for the audience, but in this context I think sticking with words and phrases which invoke the whole revolutionary Marxist tradition are a positive. Tailoring your message too far runs the risk of losing some of it. You have to meet them where they are but the goal is to guide them to where you are. When I hear someone say "Billionaires are attacking the middle class" I just tune it out to be honest, because it sounds identical to the background noise of performative liberals, accidentally based for ten seconds republicans, and dead-end utopians. Ambiguously contrarian. I think a liberal will hear it the same way. I want to say "look, we have dusty tomes and academics and structures and traditions and all of that too. We aren't just screaming into the void." I think that works, or at least it worked for me.

Definitely, but if the recent spike we're seeing keeps going we should be well on our way to 80s and 90s levels by next year!
