It remains unclear if there are any other replenishment ships like it immediately available in the Mideast. An AP survey of publicly released military images of similar replenishment ships run by the U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command showed none in the Mideast in recent months. The command declined to comment.

🤔

The problem is that, with a lot of causes like feminism, it’s kind of mushy. It isn’t straightforward, it is loud, it is a winding path. … I just feel like just simply supporting the rights of women isn’t enough with it and that there’s something more.

This is why intersections are important, there are many interconnected struggles under capitalism which all run into common opposition along misogynistic/classist/racist lines and often with numerous overlaps.

Having an approach which does not include the systemic forces at play from more angles than just one, can lead you to blind spots which cause friction with other people.

I don’t think going out of my way to stand somewhere waving a sign for hours is what I think a good way to spend time with. I believe we should protest smarter by fighting with facts and being more focused than just allowing intrusive and irrelevant directives take hold of certain causes.

Demonstrations are only useful if they’re actually demonstrating something. If there’s nothing actually threatening why should anyone take your demonstration seriously? This doesn’t mean you need to be actually getting people in danger, but shit like stopping traffic and being disruptive makes a point where holding signs does not.

I’d set it up as a death match where they are all dropped into different parts of an island and have to survive with what they can find

“Hello I would like to mentally police myself for free so that people who want me dead might think I’m one of the good ones”

Show up in a ripped shirt with a mustard stain on it looking dazed and slightly disinterested, like you already visited 4-5 houses that day.

I really am getting tired of having to walk on eggshells around liberals about this extremely obvious issue.

Yet I will be talking to a lib and they will be like “but at least it’s killing a lot of Russians right?” 🫠

Idk but I’m ready to fold space with my mind

takes massive dab

Have you considered that world history prior to 1600 is broadly fabricated, the Peloponnesian war actually happened in ~AD1000 between medieval city states, based on the timing of an eclipse triad described by Thucydides. Jesus Christ was actually Andronikos Komnenos (AD1152), he was born in Crimea and publicly beaten and crucified near Constantinople.

google Morozov

I couldn’t be bothered to figure out how to watch it, did anything happen?

I put the effort in.

🆗

I got to couch surf while still working for several months this year because the person who owned the building I was planning to continue living in wanted more money. Did wonders for my mental health

Yes lol, second line from the blahaj link:

Edit - Hexbear announced plans to deferedate from us.

From what I saw it was because of the behavior of the mods there, among other things (links in the link): https://hexbear.net/post/369410

Due to multiple factors, such as unaddressed ableist removals from the /c/196 moderators, defense of chasers, no-quarter rules regarding our users, leakage of good-faith DMs from our admin team, and a general lack of initiative to punish these behaviors, we have come to the conclusion that the 196 community on lemmy.blahaj.zone has made the fediverse an unsafe space for our queer, disabled, neurodivergent, non-western, and other marginalized comrades on this forum, and we will be defederating from lemmy.blahaj.zone until we can be confident that this will not continue to be an issue.

For pedestrians vs cars it already is

Getting policed on tone sounds like hell. God forbid someone be angry at injustice.

You figured it out, but on lemmy.ml at least everyone shows that icon, if they’re on server or not. It is actually useful because you can view a thread from their server POV

All the whispering about brigading has seriously been about the dunk tank? They don’t allow linking to federated instances and low traffic posts (and federated instances) are not allowed.

Calling them fascists is a joke though, like as an anarchist I’ve been subbed to most of their comms for close to a year now (other than dunk_tank which blocks .ml). I have not come across anyone even slightly fascist or supremacist- they even crack down on posting Yakub memes.

I’ve run into way sketchier/transphobic people on .world - post a contrary political opinion there and you get people going through your posts to find reasons to harrass you.

I stand corrected, serves me right for only searching in the .ml modlog

Yeah, just a frustrating situation, running into communists who view trans people as bourgeois decadence is usually something I have to go home for.

The process of ‘westernization’ was what brought things like homophobia and transphobia to places under colonial occupation. The civil criminalization of gay people in England started as early as things like the buggery act of 1533, buggery comes from the french term bougre -

"sodomite," 1550s, earlier "heretic" (mid-14c.), from Medieval Latin Bulgarus "a Bulgarian" (see Bulgaria), so called from bigoted notions of the sex lives of Eastern Orthodox Christians or of the sect of heretics that was prominent there 11c. Compare Old French bougre "Bulgarian," also "heretic; sodomite."

The western imported ‘values’ were themselves rooted in xenophobia and bigotry against eastern orthodox heretics. (Bogomils)

Nutomic is still a site admin, still banned from this comm on hexbear entirely, never mind. haven’t heard anything new myself.

The nerve to be coming in here and telling trans people they aren’t who they fucking are.
