  • Looking for slightly more in depth theory/reading material on mutual aid networks, I would also be happy to have some more material on anarchism as an idea

  • Hi, I realize that its been almost 2 weeks, and I'm sorry for necroing this thread, but I just have to thank you again for the recommendation, Renzo Novatore writes like a poet. It is so incredibly validating to see someone who is clearly well educated advocating for many of my own beliefs in well written prose even a hundred years ago, its like, if this idea can occur to this clearly smart person even ages ago and in an entirely different country, surely I'm not so crazy for feeling that way.

    I especially love how he defines a person as neither being social or anti-social by nature!

    Thank you!

  • Thank you! Renzo Novatore seems to be a fascinating person, I'm particularly excited to read his work! Everything else you recommended also looks very exciting, I don't think there's a single thing that I'm not looking forward to reading!

  • Thank you! All of these look like great resources! I've actually watched Andrewism before, his video on digital colonialism was great imho!

  • I remember bringing up possibly switching to linux to my IT manager at my previous job, I was told, and I quote:

    I would love to, windows sends a lot of junk network traffic and that sometimes makes it hard to investigate shit, but I was told by corporate that people already know windows and we already paid for the licenses, so no.

    That's basically been my experience as well whenever I recommend linux over Windows to corpos, they can't understand that there are valid reasons to switch, they are corporate and they know better than you, even when they know nothing about your field!

  • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skáldskaparmál

    (Was in an argument with one of those brain dead culture war idiots who genuinely thinks that the latest god of war game had ""gone woke"" with its depictions of Odin & Thor, almost anyone can tell you that GoW's Thor depiction is mythological accurate, but right-wingers also apparently take issue with the depiction of Odin as a behind-the-scenes plotter instead of an uber-stronk war god. Odin in the mythology is repeatedly shown to plot, scheme, and lie, when I brought this up, they called me a slur and asked me to provide a single instance of Odin intentionally plotting. In Skáldskaparmál, one of the stories is how Odin stole poetry for the gods and humans, he does this by plotting and lying.)

  • Honestly its not just any WW2 game, but any remotely popular game's updates pages, when steam points & awards got added, several people set up bots to spam every update post on large games to say "Add pronouns and rainbow flags" banking on the conservatives giving them the jester award, others have it set up to spam "Dont give into woke and add (whatever buzzword is currently popular)" so they can get other awards, and like the morons they are, conservatives keep falling for both, giving awards and reacting in the comments.

    LGBTQ+ people and allies have mostly stopped opening the comments on updates due to this, so there are multiple instances of people just openly calling for the extermination of anyone LGBTQ+ that never get reported or removed on the updates pages of otherwise not rightwing games.

    Forums are supposed to be moderated by the company that makes the game, this means that if someone makes a nazi post and the company has no moderators, or has moderators that are also nazis, reporting it does nothing, even if it's blatantly against Steam's TOS.

    Something seriously needs to be done about it.

  • Not sure if its the same study that we're talking about here, but there was a study done on conservatives and (neo)liberals empathy levels towards others during the covid pandemic's initial onset, one of the works it cited as supporting evidence looked into political biases in relation to empathy in 2010, and while those classified as liberals (not remembering how they defined liberal for the paper, will have to find my citation & check later) more often attributed external factors to people's suffering (someone is poor because they suffer from bigotry based discrimination), conservatives almost universally attributed personal factors to those same people's suffering (someone is poor because they use drugs) UNLESS that person was listed as conservative in which case they were more likely to attribute it to an external factor.

    They do have empathy, just only for those who are also conservative.

    Interestingly, if I'm recalling which paper it was correctly, jordan b peterson (who is now a right wing influencer) actually contributed to it, this was BEFORE he started appearing in right wing circles and was while he was still someone who would be considered respectable

    IMPORTANT: I'll have to find my statistics notes to back this up, so for now, please take this with a heavy grain of salt

  • Don't forget the whole issue of the "(non sexual) drag acts are pedophilia" "being gay/trans/etc is child grooming" "Kissing someone of the same gender in a public space should be illegal" arguments that would allow conservatives to sterilize/chemically castrate anybody lgbtq or gender non-conforming due to the whole "Think of the children!!!" moral panic.

    Hell this almost happened in Florida when they passed the bill that allowed forced chemical castration of people convicted of sexual battery, as well as that anti drag show bill which punished drag show performers with sexual misdemeanor charges, but also had a proposed amendment to change that to a sexual battery charge.

  • The bots are evolving

    Jump

  • youtube is plagued with these bots that either copy someone else's comment (normally positive of the video creator in order to avoid being auto deleted) or use some chatbot to come up with phrases, the picture is always some attractive woman or sometimes just straight up images from porn, when you click on the profile the banner image or profile links will contain a link to either a scam site or an onlyfans page. They generally also bot upvotes on their comments in order to get better visibility

  • I saw that thread, there were some extremely weird and gross responses, one person wrote like 6 paragraphs on how they couldn't stop using it, with one of the reasons being they "liked the mouth feel"??? It's baffling the lengths people will go to to justify saying a slur.

  • Yeah, but I wasn't replying to the social democrat. I can only go through seeing anarchists and communists be called lib so many times before feeling like the word liberal has lost all meaning and it just becomes another abstract insult

  • to Those Leftists™, anyone thats left of them, right of them, or has identical political beliefs on everything except one issue are "libs", its been thrown around so much on lemmy that it takes up the same part of my brain as "woke", when I see someone use it unironically its generally safe to say I can ignore them.

  • [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

    Jump

  • There's also the privilege of living in a location where vegan alternatives are readily and frequently available, vast swaths of the US are in what's known as "food deserts", locations where "residents’ access to affordable, healthy food options (especially fresh fruits and vegetables) is restricted or nonexistent due to the absence of grocery stores within convenient traveling distance" (https://foodispower.org/access-health/food-deserts/) these locations also tend to have high obesity or diabetes rates due to the fact that the only food easily and cheaply available is high in sugar. Add in things like the increased price for even simple vegan foods (like rice and beans) and you might be starting to see the picture, as much as some people would LIKE to be vegan it is literally not possible for them without either taking on substantial additional costs or completely upending their life.

    A lot of the reason people who are otherwise pro-vegan (like myself) tend to dislike online vegans is that they will, consistently and smugly, while in a location and economic position where its easier to get vegan options, berate people for eating animal products without ever considering the possibility that its MUCH harder to get non-animal product based foods in certain areas
