Thought this was one of those male chastity belts at first.

Please fuck off with this racist "pooh bear" shit. People like you are why people call most white western anarchists social fascists/chauvinists.

You really need to do better.

Why are you fucking people so obsessed with a country you have no way of influencing, you do not live there, and all you are doing is adding to the chorus of racist and fascist propaganda espoused by western intelligence and corporate news?

Work on fighting your government and let the people of China decide what to do about theirs (spoiler alert the vast majority quite like it there).

Also taxes in China are fundamentally different than taxes in the US in both use and because again printing infinite money. China does not do that.

Edit: I didn't see the emoji load when I wrote this but my point stands. I would not be chuffed about my taxes going to build massive amounts of public housing and high speed rail in a country that has not fought an offensive war since Mao's revolution. I'd rather be an anarchist in China running a rural collective farming outfit or some shit than trying to do the same thing in China than I would in the US who will murder me just for being a communist if it looked like we are getting too popular.

You don't have to pay to vote, you just have to pay to have your vote counted equally, which I find very very dubious.

We hold votes on hexbear but without any of this weighting.

think the British Empire is better

Who the fuck do you think he was snitching to?

Orwell literally sold out queer people and comrades to THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

That correction holy shit lmao!

The country he is claiming is "Israel by another name" has been a fictional country in DC lore for longer than Israel has existed. What a massive self own.

I had to talk a friend back from taking his own life and I just want to hug you. Whatever you do is not up to me but I read your entire post and I would not want to lose a comrade like you.

I suffer and have suffered in many of the same ways and the community I have found here is the primary reason I am still alive.

I am not you and I won't try to tell you what to do but I will say that even though I have no idea who you are or if I know you or not I would be saddened to lose another one.

I might change my mind or back out

This also leads me to believe your mind is not entirely made up and you are welcome to dm me any time, I just won't be able to respond until after 6pm pacific time except on weekends when I am mostly around all day.

It's absolutely wild to me that other anarchists cite George fucking Orwell especially on Catalonia, especially when we are faced with a not dissimilar predicament right now: If we don't get our shit together and stop attacking one another in the face of this rising tide of fascism we are all fucked. Look how Catalonia turned out because of this exact bs!

Technically even without surface tension, the microscopically small deviations in elevation in your floor, combined with evaporation and absorption would actually mean you would have a dry floor almost immediately.

Surface tension is just one aspect of the molecular bonds that cause water to accumulate, and if there were no surface tension that would mean those bonds would have to be nonexistent and thus water would not be able to condense into a liquid in the first place.

So, I recently started working a wonderfully mindless office job for the first time in my whole 40 years of existence and it just so happens that my office is in a near total deadzone for mobile phone connection and I will never sign in my personal phone to the work wifi for obvious reasons, and also I tend to hit my data cap now within 5 days of it renewing since the job has me mostly just sitting browsing hexbear till I get a phone call.

diethex has been a fucking godsend because the horrible data cap that kicks in after I used my measly 2gb of data still is just enough to keep looking at all your shitposts if I wheel my chair over to a very specific spot in the middle of the office between our cubicles where we all huddle to try to get just one bar of reception.

 

Dean Spears does not want to alarm you. The co-author of After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People argues that alarmist words such as crisis or urgent will just detract from the cold, hard numbers, which show that in roughly 60 years, the world population could plummet to a size not seen for centuries. Alarmism might also make people tune out, which means they won’t engage with the culturally fraught project of asking people—that is, women—to have more babies.

Recently, in the United States and other Western countries, having or not having children is sometimes framed as a political affiliation: You’re either in league with conservative pronatalists, or you’re making the ultimate personal sacrifice to reduce your carbon footprint. In this episode of Radio Atlantic, Spears makes the case for more people. He discusses the population spike over human history and the coming decline, and how to gingerly move the population discussion beyond politics.

When republicans are using the same exact language along with christian fascism to justify banning abortion your damn right it's political. People also aren't not having children as some sort of noble self sacrifice you dipshit we can't afford to have kids if we want to. If the population does plummet that much in 60 years it would be because you ghouls are killing us, starving us, and destroying the planet.

I fucking hate Dean Spears so much. Someone should throw him in a swamp in the everglades and film him getting ripped apart by alligators.

 
 
 
 

As liberal critics of the Trump presidency have scrambled for traction since January, one historical analogy seems ubiquitous: “If you want a model for what’s happening to America,” economist Paul Krugman wrote in April, “think of Mao’s Cultural Revolution.” From the New York Times to the Guardian to a slew of Substacks, commentators have presented Donald Trump as the U.S. incarnation of the Great Helmsman.

Like Mao Zedong, these pundits say, Trump is mobilizing an insurrectionary base to destroy bureaucratic and cultural elites, has created a cult of personality in which the leader’s will overrides all else, and is brutally intolerant of his ideological enemies.

What are we a bunch of Asians?!
