Tea is the drink of bougie English lords and ladies. They drink it during supper at their lawn watching their children play croquet while their man-servant fans them.

Fucking exactly. It starts with terrorism (or cp in this case) and then expands to copyright, protestors, activists, journalists, everything. Of course, it’ll never be used against billionaires and corporations to close down their fucking tax havens, will it?

If we acknowledge the others then we would realize that either israel is illegitimate or that these groups would also be entitled to a state of their own following the same reasoning. Every where they are in the world they are hated and killed, just like jews.

Wow. I never even considered that point. It’s so strange how we never talk about a state for Romani people etc.

100%. The Hindutva push for “vegetarianism” doesn’t come from any pro-animal liberation perspective. It’s straight up casteist and islamophobic rhetoric - they believe “eating meat” makes people “impure”. Thus pushing “vegetarian only” housing policy etc. is a way to segregate and discriminate against Muslims, Dalits, Adivasis, Shudras etc.

We made everything look and perform worse so we can talk to Libs who hate China and Marxists who hate anarchists and sex-work and consider us Libs.

We should do a watch party for it.

No, what you say is true. No one is an island. None of us could even exist were it not for other people, both literally (from birth to finding food and water and resources/commodities) and in the more anthropological/sociological sense you spoke of. Capitalism makes us isolated, alienated machines who’s only purpose is to work to produce surplus value for the capitalist. Every other human relation is subsumed into this, and the more “developed” a country gets, the further along this process gets too.

And the latest part of it is the very nature of online communities as they exist curently. The algorithms, created to generate profit, havd figured out the best way to get people to stay on your platform and interact more, at least in the short term, is by tapping into our worst impulses of anger, hatred, disgust, fear etc. So, all online discourse, unless carefully managed, falls into this pattern. And Hexbear falls into this pattern, too. How could it not? Even without such an algorithm here, we have already been trained in this type of toxic discourse in every other platform. And so we bring that here.

I don’t know the solution, other than saying “things will be better under socialism” which they of course will be. Because there isn’t any way it could be worse.

Although, babies are horrifying, disgusting, alien monstrosities.

Yeah, exactly. Capital needs to end all other human relations for it to reign supreme. The only way to get them back, and make them better than before, is by ending capitalism.

The anti-culture is spot on. Amerika truly is the ideal capitalist state. Nothing can you do without it either already being a part of capital, or very soon being gobbled up by it. You must serve capital every loner of your life.

Hell, even after death!

Maybe I’m being a total noob, but I thought Proton’s P2P servers were enough? Is port-forwarding on Proton or others different from that?
