Yes and no.
Generating images instead of not generating images? Increases global warming
Generating vacation images instead of flying to vacation? Net benefit

I love how you frame Arch as the default which isn’t wrong but there are also Ubuntu nerds out there like me 🤓

I didn’t think of the fascists as revolutionary so I was confused and asked. After you didn’t answer me the first time, I asked again. If that would have made sense to me, I wouldn’t have asked. Thanks anyway for using this opportunity to insult me.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 2 months ago:
TIL. Thanks
Still: what do you mean “both of the revolutions”? Anarchist and bourgeois?
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 2 months ago:
Ok, I guess my reading comprehension sucks at the moment, sorry. It’s not my native language and I have other stuff occupying my mind right now.
I still don’t understand what you mean by “both of the revolutions” but my view is that there was an anarchist revolution going on and the Soviets were against it because it would undermine their legitimacy as only path toward liberation (which they were not, neither the only nor any path to liberation)
I thought they supported the republicans but I might be wrong. That would be even worse. I still don’t think it would have been realistic to annex the iberian peninsula. From all I know, they said that it’s not time for any revolution, not that a bolshevik revolution would work.

That sounds like a big misunderstanding. I said that the bolsheviks were against the revolution in Spain and I thought you were the tankie disagreeing with me. What is your standpoint and what do you think mine is?
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 2 months ago:
I don’t even understand what that means. And some educated tankies will explain away why Stalin was right and Spain wasn’t ready for a revolution. But some people don’t know stuff.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 2 months ago:
Ok, that gave you away. I mean, the bolsheviks didn’t even want a revolution but allied with the republicans to build a liberal bourgeois democracy
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 2 months ago:
Not sure if joking or stupid. I tend to the former but being on the internet long enough, I can’t rule out the latter
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 2 months ago:
I totally agree with you. That said, tankies will argue some shit why they are further left. You can go into that discussion about the semantics of left and distract from the fact that tankies are evil. Or stop “gatekeeping” leftness and argue why they are bad.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 2 months ago:
I’m not surprised. If anything, I was surprised to be accepted into it at the first place. Sometimes I’m surprised by the low level of education some people have. You mentioned Catalonia. Some people don’t seem to know nor want to know anything about the Spanish civil war or the anything. I sometimes try to argue with people from different ideologies because I think it’s an opportunity for all to grow and sharpen their position but I’m not surprised to be downvoted. In no comment of this thread did I express surprise

No, I’m not a Marxist. I agree with him in some points and agree with some libertarian Marxists but at the end, they say alot of stuff Bakunin, Kropotkin, Goldman, … said long before
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 2 months ago:
I didn’t mean to disagree with you. Just add that they are formally open to other leftist viewpoints but not effectively.
And yes, you will get alot of strawmans like Engels’ On Authority. If you want an analysis of the text, this video debunks it quite well

I have an account on lemmygrad and when I created it, I was asked about my politics. They formally accepted every left ideology but when you say anything remotely anti-authoritarian, you get downvoted into oblivion
