Good Political Anime (lemmygrad.ml)

Avatar the Last Airbender is anti-fascist and also a great show all around.

However, I nominate Samurai Jack for best politics. Jack unites exploited peoples across the realm and even leads violent slave rebellions.

Bonus terrible answer: Pokemon, which is a capitalist hellscape fixated on slave-animal bloodsports.

What is the biggest pollutant across the globe? What sector? What industry?

The military, with their tanks, planes, and aircraft carriers? Electronics? Nope.

The greatest global contributor of GHGs is animal agriculture. I've linked to an infographic that always blows my mind.

The abolition of capitalism will save the workers, but to save the environment, we must stop the insanity of animal agriculture. If you are considering alternatives to how factory farming is done, then you're right, there are a LOT of things that could change. And honestly, the single best resource for this topic is a Netflix documentary I saw recently.

I encourage you all to watch Cowspiracy. I never watch videos people link on here, but please give it a shot. In my own words, I'll briefly introduce it: chronicles the story of a devout environmentalist in the USA who was stunned when he learned - like you just have - that animal agriculture was the greatest global contributor to pollution. But this guy is a hardcore treehugger, and is like 30. How the hell did he just learn this? He is a member of "green" groups, but eating animals is never talked about. This dirty secret, i.e. that animal agriculture is never discussed in green advocacy groups, is the "cowspiracy" behind their controlled opposition to environmental destruction. They ask you to drive a hybrid and recycle your plastic straws, but never question the business that is literally slashing and burning the fucking amazon rainforest.

If you do not have Netflix, I can let you "borrow" a copy ;)

Maybe my favorite landlord meme is the cake one: whole cake on serving dish = my income hands removing 2/3 of cake = rent

Solidarity and Inspiration (directaction.info)

BITE BACK MAGAZINE is a vegan activism publication that catalogues direct action by comrades world wide, including sabotage and vandalism against the animal genocide machine.

This is an excellent resource to inspire one another to continue our immensely uphill fight and also, under the prisoners tab, to show solidarity with our comrades who are behind bars by writing letters to remind them that they are not forgotten (there are strict rules about what can be written, find them on the site or ask questions herein).

Share your thoughts and discuss what actions we should take after our pandemic subsides, BUT DO NOT DOXX YOURSELF.

Stay safe and healthy comrades, I love you all

So my understanding is that most/all online games will try to authenticate and therefore won't allow you to access online content, right? I saw one torrent host advise blocking program from getting online or communicating thru steam.

I've wanted to snag Overwatch e.g. but was worried about this.

Speaking of Steam, I saw some "steam codes" or something that allow you to get a game through steam. Any risks associated with this?

Sorry for confusion, I had these thoughts like a week ago

Edit: thanks for the answers, comrades. Happy pirating!

Recruitment (lemmygrad.ml)

How should we be growing the userbase? Advertise it in leftist reddit spaces? Discords?

Existing content (illegal-shopping.tumblr.com)

Back on the subreddit, there were introduction posts and helpful tips that this sub is lacking. To give you an idea of what I mean, I linked a silly but cool tumblr page with this gem: https://illegal-shopping.tumblr.com/post/612858614957457408#notes

Bottom line, we should reclaim cool shit others have already put out there. The alternative is reinventing the wheel or depriving ourselves of helpful info and quality memes.

Unrelated, but near the end of that subreddit, I loved seeing the mall cops brigading and getting clowned

Orientation (lemmygrad.ml)

I remember months ago noticing reddit knockoffs popping up and drawing reddit users, admittedly, mostly in fash groups. Question is, are these sites (i can find them if you're unfamiliar) dedicated to hate groups, or are they platforms that already have the full reddit functionality and potential userbase? Similarly, is "communism.Lemmy" like a Weebly page for us? Insofar as our subs are all contained within the communism page, and our accounts are restricted to the communism portion of this site?

What makes this site distinct from Reddit and other copycats, and how can we improve it going forward? One advantage I can already see of course is that we share an ideology and hopefully our information is not being sold.
