It would seem that younger Americans are indeed less susceptible to propaganda

Most US military leaders are true believers in liberal democracy and The Good of US global hegemony. The leftist observation that these systems share a material base with fascism doesn’t mean that the open fascists coming to power in the military would not be an internal power struggle. They’re different factions.
If they were smart they’d purge the open fascists and insurrectionists but they won’t
Yeah, I don’t think it’s a ridiculous ask at all. I don’t think that it should be that hard of a thing to pull off and handle and I agree with what Awoo said below
I really need to remember the source because this seems to come up a lot. But Marx differentiated between proletarian workers whose labor power was used in production and other workers whose labor power was used in the redistribution of capital. For example, many finance capital workers are not proletarian. The terminology there may not be exactly right, but that’s the gist.
I think the whataboutisms that make class look murky are extremely rare. You’d need someone who both labors in production and owns the company and makes equal amounts from their wages and from their ownership. The capitalist class has long had a word for this type of person: a failure. I’d be happy to just call them petit bourgeois.
Ziq’s main objection seems to be that banning microaggressions is a slippery slope that results in wrecking campaigns which nearly destroy the site. Sounds less like a policy problem and more like a moderation problem.
Put my old shift supervisor on the floor with a bunch of apes so he can try to make them work the machines. I’d pay to watch the worker uprising.
Stack underflow
Our food ministries are actually pretty good around here. But our shelters are generally full of very privileged people with no idea how to relate to someone who’s unhoused. The condescension is real.
Or the AV equipment. So many of those places have less than ideal feeds because they can just throw money at better equipment but don’t want to pay for professional technicians.
I will gladly explain TCP as long you don’t want me to go into much detail
There are accessibility reasons why you’d want a mic, especially with churches dominated by older people who are more likely to have hearing problems. But I loved the setup one of my old churches had. There was a room in the back behind windows that had a speaker on the ceiling. There was a single knob that turned it up and down and there was a little radio transmitter with ear piece receivers if anybody wanted that. And then there was a 4 channel mixer up front that plugged into the feed to the back. So for most of the congregation, they’d sit up front and hear everything acoustically. In the back, they’d hear it mostly over the speaker and someone would just sit there and turn the knob up and down as needed. Was it ideal? No. But it was a setup that worked for 30 years straight with only one or two points of failure which rarely failed and were relatively cheap and easy to repair.
