they’re unlikely to engage with most of the free-speaking world at this point, because it would just be a torrent of abuse and mockery and so what would even be gained by it.

side effects of never letting a good opportunity to red bait go to waste I guess

there’s also hexbear, I go there for the megathreads mostly

reddit being manipulated by information campaigns!?

I had nothing to do with that, but this made me laugh

Too many overtly emotional blue haired folk in moderating positions there

probably for the best to get all the state department groupchat people on those same servers instead of stirring shit everywhere else and crying about censorship

I mean this was a .ee user complaining about seeing people they’re federated with, I’m sure they will be more happy in one of the more liberal echo chamber instances

I understand, the point in response was that non-authoritatian states don’t and haven’t existed. The compass portrays a field that is equal, but in reality only the top half is anything but idealism, historically speaking.

a classless stateless society is what I would prefer. That’s something we can conceive of, but getting there is another issue. Revolutions tend to be pretty authoritarian no matter how you slice it.

I think that still qualifies as a bourgious dictatorship

Yeah, but it’s weird to be complaining about people using /all and finding content, calling it “invading”

he did say communist governments are authoritarian, in them the capitalist class would be getting oppressed by the state in service of the working class. this is why it’s called the dictatorship of the proletariat - the proletariat should still be getting their interests as a class represented in this arrangement, while bourgious have no special status or access due to their capital.

All governments are authoritarian, all states are instruments of class opression. What matters is which class is being oppressed, by which.

are there any examples of libertarian states?

Mostly they were left unblocked until their users started to invade other instances to spread their blatant propaganda.

isn’t the entire point of a federated platform that you’re going to be able to access other instances?

istg people hit the block button like they’re mashing the independent thought alarm

what’s the appeal? I’ve run into no reasons to switch, and I don’t even use any apps.

watching Gundam Gquuux, it’s been fun and I like the alternate timeline

I check all/comments/new, see what people are talking about and if anything catches my eye I may subscribe

throwback!

Not all of the countries problems can simply be attributed to ‘the enemy’ on the other side of the planet. The dysfunction I’m pointing out is home grown and enabled on both sides. The republicans are obviously worse, the democrats prevent anything better.

Russia is affecting those things in the us though.

People being unhoused, going hungry and without healthcare is bipartisan consensus in the US and Russia has nothing to do with that.

MS-13 or Russia

neither of those are real concerns tbh. Americans should be concerned about housing, feeding and providing medical care to everyone before worrying about external threats.

accidentally waste their time making mean comments that I can’t see

making comments people don’t see or acknowledge is one of my favorite pastimes

I read bookchin in college, and re-read this one recently. He will make some decent points, but he was also a zionist, him holding that position really made me lose interest in his other political prescriptions.
