- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 2 days ago:
I personally disagree with giving more rights to immigrants and don’t like the idea of negotiations with terrorist organizations to divide the country
if you disagree with immigrants having human rights, that’s just fascism my friend.
also you calling Kurds terrorists says a lot about how you’re actually just a genocide denier cosplaying as “just an average person without a political position”
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 2 days ago:
CHP are Kemalists. idk how anyone worshipping that genocider could be called left-wing (maybe if you’re an ethno-nationalist?). I’d say the real left wing in Turkey would be the Kurdish people fighting for autonomy, the feminists and queers fighting the cops in the streets and the union movements.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 2 days ago:
there are 3 major right-wing instances: lemmy.ml(ran by the Lemmy developers), lemmygrad.ml(the openly fascist version of lemmy.ml) and hexbear.net.
if anyone wants to argue, I don’t. Anyone supporting Russia is right-wing.

wrong, no other cloud provider offers the same military services that Microsoft does

a question to parents/guardians of kids playing Minecraft or other Microsoft games:
if they uninstall the Microsoft version of Minecraft and switch to a pirated launcher, does that respect the BDS demands?
I’m aware of similar media boycotts such as SAG/AFTRA telling people not to promote targeted media projects publicly. Ofc, BDS is a different organization but I’m hoping someone could clarify if not promoting Minecraft while still playing is sufficient? I’m not personally invested in continuing to play, but would like to find ways to inspire my young relative to consume consciously.

- Comment on Syria president says new authorities can't satisfy everyone 1 week ago:
that’s if you assume that Syrians are in charge of the government. actually, that’s a wrong assumption to make about any state.
I recommend reading Omar Aziz’s works on neighborhood councils and the Syrian revolution. that’s where the real democracy is taking place.

- Comment on Is dns a good application for the blockchain? 2 weeks ago:
hence the inherent problem with crypto. you’re always gonna end up with fascist billionaires at the helm when you essentially implement a vote determined by how much bro-tokens you own. I’m not aware of any blockchain implementation that isn’t just a reskin of late stage capitalism.
- Comment on Is dns a good application for the blockchain? 2 weeks ago:
I agree that DNS is horribly centralized and outdated, but tech isn’t gonna solve this problem which is political. I think every TLD should be ran by a federation of independent worker co-ops managing each TLD autonomously. who then convene at a federation council to replace the functions of ICANN
- Comment on Is dns a good application for the blockchain? 2 weeks ago:
letting people like Elon Musk control the blockchain should make it obvious why this is a horrible idea. most of those people are fascists and/or “anarcho-capitalists”

even if every single human went vegan, the food chain wouldn’t magically stop being polluting. it’s not like vegan food magically gets grown in anti-climate change factories

- Comment on Resistance Against Large Corporations is Competition 3 weeks ago:
you will never be able to outcompete the 1% because the only way to do that is to exploit workers more than they do. liberal propaganda may talk a lot about how growth without harm is possible, but it’s all just that, propaganda.
what I and a lot of anti-authoritarians propose is starting co-ops whose aim is to fight against competition, and to abolish the profit motive as much as possible. also organizing into neighborhood councils that function based on consensus democracy to autonomously govern the neighborhood against the wishes of oppressors like the state, the cops, landlords and the owning class.
the only way to escape late-stage capitalism is to go against this cancer cell ideology called infinite growth by adopting this thing called degrowth.
the Argentinian example is extremely inspiring for workplace self-management:

- Comment on Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 4 weeks ago:
it lacks some of the few good features that discord actually has like seeing who’s in a voice chat before popping in and soundboards in voice calls.
from what I remember they use Jitsi calls. I love that Jitsu exists as an alternative to Zoom but compared to Discord it is indeed a subpar experience. when calling with friends over VPN it is an unusable option
- Comment on Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 4 weeks ago:
because it’s not a discord alternative

you could probably use a fit-tested respirator to filter out those particles!
I think a P100 filter should be able to take care of your problem. there’s also the added bonus of COVID/insert pathogen protection since airports and airplanes are a leading cause of super-spreaders

that it’s an artificially engineered “crisis” by the medical industrial complex to justify modern day discrimination and refuse to provide healthcare to fat people, Black people, etc
podcast episode on this
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
and the consensus used to be that race science is a great idea. great job in rebranding that in fat phobia!
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
you’re what we call in the fat community one of the “good fats”. just know that what you’re promoting is pseudoscience and not conducive to “health” whatever that means
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
what you’re doing here is mansplaining science by refusing to keep up to date on the recent research that’s only recently starting to make it acceptable in the scientific literature what’s been known all along by indigenous people and survivors of famine. that is that food scarcity doesn’t cause weight loss, it causes systemic retention of fat to survive life threatening scenarios.
in the epigenetics field as well it is well known that famine trauma propagates through generations, which is exemplified by Irish people tending towards larger sizes on average.
you’re also idolizing medics and the medical field by not acknowledging that they’re humans just like us and therefore not devoid of biases. the field is extremely white and man-centric, therefore refusing to accept any science that doesn’t benefit their class interests. eugenics is common practice in medicine nowadays, you can see it in the way fatness is criminalized and punished through violence by most doctors.

Belly of the Beast by Da’Shaun L. Harrison, Fearing the Black Body the Racial Origins of Fatphobia by Sabrina Strings.
a podcast on the intersection of fatphobia and eugenics I recommend is Maintenance Phase. on BMI, on the obesity “epidemic”
