What’s Pomodoro?

This is the saddest, most insular cope I’ve read all day.

A little, yeah, oddly enough.

Things I’ve learned: the people in this community hate bluesky on principle, their principles are insular and toxic, and they can’t read.

This is why people aren’t going to mastadon more than Bluesky; because y’all’re insufferable. I made the comment in context of the post, so why would you ignore it?

The fact that you or anyone thinks that matters is part of the problem. Not every federated site needs to be federated with every other federated site. That’s half the point of federation.

Snubbing bluesky is a great way to get people to not take you seriously. When you’re making a recruitment thing like this you need to remember you’re trying to draw in people who don’t fully agree with you.

No.

I’m sure all we need is enough class consciousness and gumption so our direct action can stop the fascist regime from implementing imperialism.

Early every year the seeds are growing / unseen, unheard, they lie beneath the ground. / would you know before their leaves are showing / that with weeds all your garden will abound?

If you close your eyes, stop your ears / shut your mouth how can you know? / The weeds you cannot see may not be there / the seeds you didn’t hear my never grow.

In January you still have the choice / you can cut the weeds before they start to bud / if you leave them to grow high, they’ll silence your voice / in December, you may pay with your blood.

Close your eyes, stop your ears, /close your mouth and take it slow. / Let others take the lead while you bring up the rear / and later you can say you didn’t know.

Every day, another vulture takes flight; / there’s another danger born every morning. / In the darkness of your blindness, the beast will learn to bite. / How can you fight when you don’t recognize the warning?

Close your eyes, stop your ears / shut your mouth of course you know. / if weeds are let to be without your hand to fear / then what else can be? Of course they’ll grow.

Today, you may earn a living wage / tomorrow you may be on the dole / though there’s millions going hungry, you needn’t disengage; / it’s them, not you who’s fallen in the hole.

The weeds are all around us and they’re growing / it’ll soon be too late for the knife / if you leave them on the wind that around this world is blowing / you’ll pay for your silence with your life.

So close your eyes, stop your ears, / bite your tongue and don’t you dare. / 'cuz if it happens here, they might not come for you / if they’re sure you really never cared.

I interpreted it as a joke about the stereotype about it being difficult to work with, which is (in a certain sense) a natural consequence of being customizable. If you can’t do anything with your computer, you can’t get it to stop working.

IDK who those characters are, just that the macro is a Phineas and Ferb reference.

This is the only correct answer.

Sorry, I just assumed that you were being hostile for some reason.

“Look it up” is never a good argument. With that said, I understand what you mean now; Thank you.

1908 and 1940.

During this time populist policies that disrupted the owners were implemented and being implemented. As such, it is clear they weren’t in control of the country. Thus, it was not an oligarchy.

These are the easiest examples. Anyone who thinks it was always an oligarchy is simplifying history. Anyone who disputes that is a liar or an idiot.

I need you to define the word “oligarchy” and then show me that it applies using that specific definition.

Edit: the point is that if you actually define the term as “a polity that’s controlled by a small number of people” (that is, the definition) it’s easy to show the above comment is just a lie.

“To prevent violent uprising of the proletariat” are you actively trying to phrase it to make it sound like even when someone does something good it was actually bad?

Please explain. I don’t disagree with the conclusion, but this supporting statement doesn’t ring true to me.

I guess Teddy Roosevelt and FDR never existed.
