They are such good memories. I remember as a kid in the cold winter huddled up to my desk lamp, that got super warm and was the only source of heat, painting my Catachan armoured column…

why yes, I did not understand how to use the Catachans as a jungle army, how could you tell?

Not until the US realises the systemic issues supporting the populist despots position. I’ll focus on the two party system below.

If the Democratic Party truly want to improve the USA what they can do is break up. The duopoly can be blown up. They could do it brexit style and just completely flip the board this would inevitably lead to Republican domination but quickly without another major side to fight against their anti-democratic actions will be the only thing to talk about. A bit like how the only thing to do with brexit is ignore it, or talk about it’s costs. This would hurt the USA and democracy would go through a recession.

Another option is to recreate their party structure to only be based between clear democracy sign posts. Agree to support any democratic president that is elected, but in elections they could support their different preferred candidates. Only after an election is resolved do they fall in line behind a democratic winner. In other words be a big tent, formalise the so called ‘caucuses’ underneath the current Party as different and increasingly independent Party’s, welcome in Republican ‘caucuses’ who still believe in democracy and use the Democratic Party as the banner to build out a multi-party system at the federal level.

Its long, complicated, and probably has many flaws, but multi-party coalition Governments seem to be the worlds best chance at holding onto a liberalised and mostly Just system of governance.

So a path towards coalition multi-party democracy is what I’m essentially advocating here. Too many Republicans don’t even understand the benefits of the democratic system so I can’t see many of them have the cojones to blow up their party, they’d happily live under a dictator it seems.

Ah! Oh cool, but this would take geolocation. I predict that being a hard sell for lemmings.

But as I type that i realise/remember your post here is primarily an introduction for potential instance operators, not so much a user base. So the geolocation as an ‘issue’ is likely far less important (not forgetting a user can just turn it off anyway).

Oh, I see. Why have you made that choice? I’d understand to keep the subjects towards more community oriented interests, but then, i’m not sure why federation of other community habitats would have any advantages over being separate.

For example, I imagine East Sussex and Alsace-Lorraine wouldn’t have a great degree of things to share between disparate instances like that.

Anyway, i’ve not had a chance to look at your instance yet, so maybe i’ll understand it better when I duck over there for a sticky beak. All sounds very exciting though! Well done!

How is it federation but not Activitypub specifically? I thought that was the only protocol that currently allows for federation. Are there others? Or other ways?

Yeah, but aren’t the cops afraid to enter classrooms with gunmen?

Whats up with all the weird spelling in that article? The = signs in place of letters are very prominent.

Is it some sort of anti-ai thing they’re trying?

That is horrible situation to placed in. Helping save someone who is actively trying to ruin your life and hurt you. They did the right thing, but there must be little satisfaction in helping these oppressors.

😂

Bet ‘The don’t tread on me’ sovcit folks are knotted and contorted messes now. Where’d all yer flags go now, ya cunts.

Yeah okay, those hit with a 13% reduction have a large hole to fill. Hopefully other donors will come to the party, but in a cost of living crisis, well theres a lot of other pressures.

So does this mean NPR and PBS are going to shutter? Or significantly reduce their operations? Or have they still got enough private benefactors to carry on?

Side note: I wonder if they still have any of that Ray Croc money left in some random fund?

When history looks back at this time, i think Biden’s largest failure, (in regards this matter), will have been breaking his promise to be a one term President. So many screw-ups happened off the back of that, his catastrophic debate; the funding making it difficult for any other nominee but Kamala Harris to run; the undemocratic way Kamala was elevated to the nominee position; the late in the day change itself.

I suppose it was his own self importance, but democracy is never about one person. Each person plays a part, it needs to be recognised and acted upon when that part has finished.

Corruption has made the US a rotten place, if Republicans without brainrot wish to live in a country that isn’t tearing itself apart again they need to reject the corruption at all levels. They need to reject what they have so far accepted from their side as equally as they’ve rejected the corruption of the other side. The gains they think they’re making under this regime are crumbs from the table of corruption they unleash. There is no reason for anybody to be honest actors if the Republicans refuse their responsibilities to all their countrymen.

Ffs hired security… glad you all went prepared, but thats such a ridiculous need to have to think about for a protest.

Hope you stay safe. This was the photo where i thought the people had the most guts to be there. If its really that supportive of your fuckhead in chief, i can’t imagine many friendly onlookers.

Although, i suppose with the smallest voting bloc being republican, and largest being non-voter, maybe you’d get more disinterested people than outright aggression.

A general strike is a mass work stoppage in which a substantial proportion of workers across multiple industries collectively cease https://museumofprotest.org/methods/general-strike/

Are we agreed? Fucken great.

I remember reading about a japanese bus strike where the bus drivers kept doing their job, but stopped collecting the money.

There are also examples from around the world where healthcare workers go to quite serious lengths to ensure delivery of service is maintained while a nurses/doctora strike is taken.

So a general strike could be an option, but isn’t necessary to send a message. In fact more targetted strikes that leave dialogue and service on the table shows the protestors acting in good faith, potentially opening different avenues to bridge the divide between childish-oligarchic-cunts (management/upper class), and the workers.

All i’m saying is theres more options than blowing up the system, and staged, measured, predictable responses to the others actions can be extrememely effective in showing the often ridiculous demands of the other side’s position.

I get that with some people to, happily i get it in the other direction as well, i tend to enjoy Macklemore even more when i hear his lyrics or consider some of his career choices.
