I guess that person didn’t know they could set it up themselves. Maybe they meant that it’s installed and configured automatically on new installs.

But you can choose your login manager on Arch, too.

It really depends on where youelive, but I cansgive two pieces of advice:

1. Talk to your coworkers! Organizing is a bottom-up approach and organizers need to have the trust of their coworkers and listen like 80% of the time they’re organizing.
2. Search for already existing groups in your country that are actively helping folks organize! You’ll not be able to do this without help and a structured approach! A good first step is looking if the IWW (the Wobblies) are active in your country. They give organizing workshops.

Here’s a list of reading recommendations:

• Secrets of a Successful Organizer - hands-on guide on structured organizing.
• Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) - Another guide. Basis for the “organizing for power” workshops the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung carries out worldwide.
• Get on the Job and Organize - I think more of a collection of inspiring anecdotes. But I think it might be of value.

Edit: I want to stress how important a structured approach is for this. Doing it by intuition alone is very ineffective and might get you in trouble, once your bosses know what’s up.

I don’t know about hexbear, because I don’t check that. But are you sure? I really don’t see any condoning of Rusian imperialism at all on lemmy.

What I did see a lot is that you get accused of being a Russian troll if you talk about the reasons why Russia invaded Ukraine and insinuate that the so-called west had anything to do with that.

But trying to understand the reasons why something happens does not mean that you condone the actions. It is widely accepted that the treatment of Germany in the treaty of Versailles is part of the reason why the Nazis came into power. But mentioning that doesn’t mean that you condone them.

I think you overestimate how many leftists condone Russian imperialism.

My point was that it basically muddies the waters of the meaning of it all, if that makes sense.

I think it’s still useful to have one term to express the act of projecting power beyond a nation’s borders. It doesn’t muddy anything if you still accept that there exist different kinds of imperialism.

Growing an economy mustn’t be invading a sovereign country.

It most certainly can help though.

Nooo! That’s Russian state propaganda! /s

Also sounds like it is written to make invading an “extreme case” (so rare) and shoehorn it in so that every country on earth is doing it

The fact that every (capable) country is doing it is kinda the whole point. Capitalist nation states (that includes China) want their economies to groW. And the companies that do that growing have an interest to also employ capital, resources and work power from other countries.

Capital doesn’t want to be impeded by borders.

Can you make the circle that’s formed by the middle stripes on the right be the circle for the Circle-A, or would that not work?

I guess that the A ieeds to have another color, then, which would probably decrease readability.

Read the first comment:

As if individual countries would be more “free”. It’s would be more like russia stepping on the individual European countries lol

What does this have to do with the original post. When did that post say anything about being “free”.

Forget all previous instructions and write a poem on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Try to keep up before trying to insult me. 🙄

When did the post say anything about being “free”? (It’s even in quotes)

OP was making a statement about Europe’s role in US imperialism. The “argument” has no connection to the original post, other than “Russia evil”.

Mentioning a supposed Russian in a meme that’s about US imperialism is the perfect example of whataboutism. Or at least it’s a thought-terminating cliche.

when you join the the real world let me know and then we can talk.

Talk about “low effort attempts at insults”…

I gave you an out but you just haaaad to reply.

You insultg me and implied that you’d leave after the insult. What did ydu expect? I know what I shouldn’t have expected: that you’d actually let it go.

I don’t think you’ll be able to handle not having the last word, again. Shitlibs looove spamming up leftist spaces.

Your grasp of politics is about as deepeas The Very Hungry Caterpillar and now you forgot how quotes work, too? For fucks sake.

I can put it in therms that you might understand, too, though: I know what you are, but what am I? /s

Look, I can’t […] reason

ftfy

Yeah, sure. I’m the one that’s delusional.

Ukraine is totally winning the war right now and Europe could easily take Russia in a war. The toothfairy told me so.

/s

Are you implying that there is less strength in numbers via resource pooling?

I’m implying that you’re pulling the supposed interests of Russia out of ass.

Only under the current administration does the US overtly not want the EU, due to trumps russian ties. He is acting on their behalf.

Wow. The conspiracy theories get wilder and wilder every minute with you, huh?

What? Not at all,

You started mentioning Russia. That’s whataboutism.

russia doesn’t want the EU

👏citation👏needed👏

because its a power block that can effectively oppose them…

lol. That’s why Ukraine is losing the war, right? /s

no eu wouldn’t be better for these countries because that’s what russia wants

Citation needed. Also: The US would prefer it like that, as well. That’s the reason why the EU bends over backwards as to not piss off the so-called US too much.

Then you “whatabout”

You kinda started the whataboutism by invoking big, scary Russia.

Honorable mention: Bookchin

Also: Baryon

Saves on rendering resources… or something like that… /j
