philosophers baffled by the concept of counting 🤦😂

man I kept scrolling through a lot of nazi groups, report them, look at what other groups their members had subscribed to and repeat.

Unless they openly said “we are nazis and hate x” nothing would happen. Worst were the DoD:S groups openly larping as SS commandos, but they’re just “roleplaying” I guess and never got removed.

the onion bought infowars, the brand, the domain, it’s intellectual property like the character “Alex Jones” all of it belongs to Infowars.

huh? induction is when numbers go brrrr that ones easy

None of that implies that fucks is a complete field sadly. If that were the case every bounded sequence of fucks would have an accumulation point. Which actually checks out, if you keep all your fucks within a certain range they’re bound to get focused on something. So never mind fucker is isomorphic to the complex field.

i got real lucky with my starting words on #4

cis people dont get an opinion on what goes on in trans spaces.

Since I’m cis I would butt out of the conversation. I’ll take your answer as a yes however and tell you to shut the fuck up about “rituals” or whatever that take place in communities (in this case trans community) that you’re not part of. You have nothing to gain here, no valuable perspective to offer and no hope of understanding the ins and outs of a community you’re not part of. Leave it be.

are you cis?

Hexbear went woke 😞

oh yeah meeting other people while sick is inexcusable and was the norm before covid even. Hope you feel better soon

On hexbear people must record themselves clearly and loudly proclaiming “I love my trans comrades” before posting. This recording is checked automatically to make sure it’s new and it’s a bannable offense to use the same recording twice. It is then verified manually to make sure the recording is clear and loud enough. This is done for every post or comment that is submitted. There are petabytes of storage used just for all the “I love my trans comrades” recordings.

🫡 uncritical support to #42 may all of their thesis fail and their grant money run out soon.

Basically that religion is a huge part of the culture. The year of a lot of cultures revolves around major religious holidays, christmas, ramadan etc. It’s deeply ingrained into social dynamics, language and so on basically messing with it will cause a huge upset just from the magnitude of the impact it will have on peoples lives. Being part of a religious community is a big part of those peoples lives. Celebrating religious holidays a big affair with the whole family. Also could you imagine western economies without the christmas season? A lot of peoples livelihood depend directly on producing commodities for easter or christmas.

It’s also not really something material you can control, people can choose to be religious and teach their kids accordingly no matter what. Where’s the boundary to organized religion?

Add to that that it both gives comfort to a lot of people but also makes it hard for them to break with it on the threat of some form of punishment (like opium, dulls pain but once addicted its painful to suddenly stop taking it). I know I wouldn’t have survived my depression if not for religion.

So a shock “therapy” banning religion as much as is possible will cause a huge pushback because it’s dear to a lot of laborers. It’s been used by the bourgeoisie yes, but very indirectly. You can point at how someone withholding the means of production needs to be made to relinquish it, but you have to look at the case of each clergyman individually in how much they collaborated with the capitalist class.

I’m sure someone with a deeper understanding can explain it better but that was the opinion as I saw it and which got me intrigued.

Yeah they’ve been inoculated against the red virus through constant propaganda.

You don’t think Stalin was a monster on par with Hitler? Yeah friend I know your type having “nuanced” takes on guys like Hitler, gtfo Tankie.

Everything you say will be filtered out by “this person excuses a mass murderer on par with Hitler!”

And if it’s not Stalin there is some other thought terminating assumption taken for granted that you run up against. I mean what broke me out was people being friendly to me even though I had “christian” in my name. All my life people had pointed to the “persecution” of the church in the GDR as an example of what communists would do to me and my family. So I said “Hi” to the rabid redfash tankies on hexbear with this username on my lemm.ee account to troll them really and they were nice?? These people praise guys like Stalin who probably would’ve shot me himself why aren’t they all jumping me like I’ve seen them do around the fediverse So I read around a bit and found a really nuanced good take on religion, a debunking of what Marx meant by “Opium for the masses” and suddenly everything I thought I knew had to be called into question.

edited out me defaulting to man sry about that

My guess would be a higher presence of communists means they had to pick a side. Once picked they had to keep defending it radicalizing them further and further.

Reddit libs probably can’t spot a “tankie” as well as a lebens.raum user

It’s perdectly understandable which part trips you up?

Why would that matter? The US would blow up any infrastructure for an independent Europe like they did with Nord Stream 2. Failing that, look at what they did to Ukraine. There is no way out for Europe unless we commit collective class suicide on a national level and good luck convincing the libs of that.

If you want to pull a weed you gotta get the root.
