Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

Valeriano Orobón Fernández, born on this day in 1901, was a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist theoretician, trade union activist, translator, and poet who wrote the lyrics of the revolutionary song "A Las Barricadas".

Orobón believed in the organizational power of unions, believe that they would have a major role in reorganizing society in a more libertarian fashion. Orobón was also strongly opposed to the communist (i.e., Soviet) ideas in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

Shortly before his untimely death from tuberculosis, Orobón wrote the words of "A Las Barricadas" to the tune of "Warszawianka 1905 roku", itself a well-known Polish revolutionary song. The anti-fascist tune became the anthem of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), and one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Civil War.

imma rant a little, but native (or whatever it's called when hosts of podcasts/videos read an ad) ads annoy the shit out of me, cause the hosts are lying for money (which makes all following information sus). i know it's a perceived childish point of view, but i really don't think it is. i'm not that annoyed with actors or in scene movie adverts (they are usually funny if they are bad, like james bond ka-ching moments, or just whatever), even if they work, cause i don't expect truth from actors

I had no idea who this Ms Rachel person was before zionists tried to cancel her but after looking her up, it's really the most comical target imaginable. There's a lot of weird stuff on Youtube Kids but Ms Rachel seems so sincere and wholesome, she has all these videos with Elmo, going after her of all people is wild.

Edit: I watched the first 5 minutes and it stands out to me that during the ABCs song with Elmo, she's actually singing harmonies to the tune. I feel like I wouldn't bother with that if I was singing to toddlers and it's kinda sweet that she does.

Edit 2: "If you ask any parent in the United States to choose between abandoning Ms Rachel and being Hamas, you're going to get everyone to choose being Hamas." - Matt Lieb inshallah

I like to think of tankies as Anakin Skywalker in that scene on the Grass with Padme. Anakin is gently explaining his hopes for the future, the wonderful world he wants to build, but when asked if people disagree he says “then they’ll be made to”, revealing his authoritarian streak. To anakin, like the tankie, seems obvious that an ultimate authority is necessary to shepherd the people into their eventual utopia, by force if necessary.

I’m stuck in a horrible web of contradictions between not being intrinsically motivated, wanting to improve myself to improve my relationships, and being told “you shouldn’t change for other people it has to be for yourself!”

Like isn’t “wanting to have better relationships” a good motivator? I literally don’t care about myself lol

Last post from the DPRK user that posted the AMA in Lemmy

spoilerDear Friends of Lemmy,

This will be my final post on this platform under the Song persona. I recognize that many of you harbor doubts regarding the authenticity of my statements, and I find this entirely understandable. It is not every day that one encounters a North Korean online. From my observations, it appears that many of you are unaware that a limited number of North Koreans have access to the Internet.

I wish to assure you that all the questions I have addressed were answered sincerely, without any intention of advocating for a particular viewpoint. My aim was to provide you with the perspective of an ordinary citizen living in North Korea. Many of you have suggested that I belong to the elite; this is not the case. My family hails from the countryside, although I currently reside in a city where life is relatively favorable—at least by North Korean standards.

I am employed, and my profession has granted me access to the Internet. In theory, I could utilize Lemmy to post this message from my regular IP address; however, I choose not to do so, as I prefer to maintain my privacy regarding my online activities. Unlike the rest of the world, our Internet Service Provider is, in fact, the government of North Korea. Some of you have suggested that I could face severe repercussions, including torture, for this communication. While I may encounter consequences, they are neither excessively severe nor life-threatening.

I do not seek to alter your perceptions of my country. Rather, I invite you to learn more about us. We are diligent, hardworking individuals. We are human beings. Please do not regard us differently simply because of a geographical boundary. We are here.

I implore you not to accept everything you encounter about North Korea online as truth. I will not position myself as a mere cog in the propaganda machine, asserting that North Korea is a paradise; it is not. In fact, it grapples with numerous issues that are often overlooked. I am not opposed to my country; in fact, I hold it dear. However, I must address a critical point:

All of you are mistaken.

Western communists who portray North Korea as a communist utopia are incorrect. No one here lives in opulence. There exists poverty, food insecurity, and corruption—issues that could certainly be classified as human rights violations.

Liberals are also mistaken. North Korea is not an eternal prison from which everyone yearns to escape. As in any nation, there is a significant amount of government propaganda, but that is not the reason we choose to remain. We cherish our homeland, our families, and we find joy in our simple, unhurried lives.

This will be my final post on this account. I will continue to use Lemmy, but under a different anonymous account. Perhaps I will return one day.

Thank you all.

Only 17 years late but just watched the dark knight for the very first time. Doubt the critics came out with the idea that Batman was the villain all along even though it’s kinda spelled out pretty blatantly. I guess it’s basically in the title too, “Dark Knight.” Still though, I can imagine the convos when this movie came out being extremely nauseating to someone with a left worldview (especially with the surveillance mechanism used in the end)

I did really fucking like it though ngl

Accidentally gave someone advice when r/cooking came up on my TruAnnon and Blackwolf feed as recommended. Now I'm getting it all the time. These people are fucking dipshits. Got dudes dry heating pans on max cause a recipe said to get a pan as hot as possible. So many posts about how to use really frequently used ingredients but somehow OP has a restaurant's years supply. Like 'what can I do with 500lbs of chicken skin?'

Today I had to transport some cats and one of them kept meowing. So I said "say meow if you're a little stinker." He fell for it, lol. Dumbass little stinker.

meanwhile, on meanwhile on lemmygrad

The Tankie triad needs to be totally defederated.

They are growing increasingly extreme and have started planning troll farm type operations to make posts on normal instances and boost them with alt accounts.

I suspect the admins Davel and Cowbee are part of it.

They are either just desperate tankies or literal troll farm employees. Either way they are repeating CCP propaganda straight from the playbook.

lol, obvs dont engage with this absolute sucker, the way they right is so matter of fact and pompus, honestly reminds me of me, come to the darkside 'softest' 'saphic'

The CCP ramped up propaganda after the inauguration on all social media.

This is just one front.

American Boy came on inside of a store I was in this week and I unironically thought someone was playing the Fortnite song off of their phone as a joke until the lyrics hit. It's been years and I've never heard the real song.
