Post Marxist quotes over an image of Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush. But like, make it agreeable. In my experience right wing people will agree with leftists on most issues if you never actually say it’s a leftist position.
Another idea, make them believe corporations are Marxist and so should be abolished. :)
Rust the memory safe programming language? Hell yeah!
The same way being a mechanical engineer relates to political leaning, I’d assume.
I don’t think it does. It also doesn’t mean they are not intelligent. It just means they spent a long time studying their trade, which is commendable.
But if you want to understand politics, you need to do like the rest of us and study politics. You can’t look at a bucket and then say you understand the river.
Fully agree. I’d like to add, knowledge requires learning. And learning requires work, no matter how intelligent we are (or think we are).
I’m a programmer as well, but being good at your job does not mean your political ideas are better as a consequence. It just means you have the capacity for it, not that it’s being used.
Also, programmers are paid better, so I’d imagine they would believe we live in a meritocracy and tend to ignore those below them (they don’t know they exist).
I’m sure it’s not just programmers who have this issue.
Bro, therapy is so underrated. Growing up I was made to believe only crazy people needed it. But like, we are not perfect. And talking to someone who was able to call me out on my BS (in a good way) and show me my blindspots was such an eye opener. Would recommend.
I think the term “manly” has been so polluted. I don’t think there is nothing “unmanly” with:
We are capable of very complex modes of existing. There is no reason to keep being the same hateful person every day. It takes courage to go out of your confort zone. It takes courage to be a “man”. Whatever it is that word means. Love you all. <3
Edit: Guys, are comments like this valuable? On Reddit I felt the need to write this way, but everyone seems so chill here…
I am speculating here, but I’d imagine people here are so used to right-leaning comments making insincere questions, poisoned questions, or “just asking” type questions, that they thought the same was happening here. I thought the same at first, and really, can you blame? But, in this case, it could just easily be an honest question by someone trying to learn, and maybe there is something to be said about the response it got. We need to welcome people trying to learn, and who ask genuine questions. That’s the only way to grow (both the community and the ideology).
Edit: Honestly, what the other commenter said.
Your logic is wrong. If I understand you correctly, you are saying:
To this I would ask, from whom? Sure, companies and government may already have access to it in some way, we can’t rule that out. But what about TankieStalker42069? Does he know the GPS coordinates? I would bet he would be very happy if you shared your location on a post, and then another post confirming it.
I just suggest not conflating the two in the future.
Ye, I’ll try. It was an honest mistake.
I think if anything communicating a passionate disdain for people like Beehaw’s lying admins […] would be a positive for new user interest.
I’d have to read more about the history between Beehaw’s admin and this Lemmy instance. I won’t blindly passionately disdain them, but clearly there is some history here which I’m not aware of, so if anything, I’ll think twice before “both-siding” this.
(along with Democrats, Republicans, Blairites, etc)
We’re on the same page here. ;)
I have to be honest, this looks like something that ChatGPT came up with. Although if it wasn’t, don’t take it as an insult. ChatGPT writes well, but I feel it’s output lacks the substance a human can create. Also, I’m picky. xD
I’ll admit, I haven’t read Stalin theory. And while this is well written, I don’t think a leader from the people, for the people, would hardly take himself in such high regard. As in, this text makes him seem like an egocentric. When he was just like you and me, part of the proletariat. Albeit with more theoretical knowledge and in circumstances that gave him the opportunity for leadership.
If I were to recreate this, I’d honestly just ask ChatGPT to write a Tinder profile for a member of the proletariat.
He may have been a great Leader, but the future is now on our generations hands, and we have to realize we, each one of us, is important. And to have pride on our own Tinder profiles, instead of idolizing what was in the past. I think a text which lifts up the spirit of the common man, instead if idolizing someone from the past, would be cooler. :)
I just meant it was an aggressive tone, which might put off new members. Also, I might have equated “hate speech” with speech in which you show hate for something (ex, an admin team). Which is clearly wrong looking back, but I won’t edit it now.
Honestly it all depends on how paranoid you want to be. Say for example you had a rough breakup and want to get away from your significant other. For that person, maybe mentioning a city is enough to know where you will likely be? (Assuming they know it’s you using the nickname and location of family relatives, for example).
For a server host, like a Lemmy instance, if you don’t use a VPN, they could already have a general idea of where you live (if they wanted), even without you telling them. That’s because they can see the IP from all connections (if they wanted).
For a random person like me, on the other side of the world, I’d probably need a bit more than just the city.
I’ll leave what is a significant risk up to you. Just know that it depends on a case by case basis, who you’re hiding the information from, and how intent your opponents are in wanting to obtain that information. So, if there is little reward for the trouble, they probably won’t even try.
All of these things are generally called opsec (operational security), if you’re interested in researching more.
Now I’m sad. The Earth gave us so much, and look at how it’s been treated. Instead of sustainable growth, we have parasitic growth. Instead of community, we’ve been given heartless individualism. Money has corrupted so many facets of our life…
Internet safety reminder:
On posts like these, I encourage everyone to at least randomize the real values by a couple percent, round the values, or be vague on details. On occasion, even completely fabricate the values. The reason for that is to avoid doxxing through statistical analysis.
Btw, clear skies where I’m at. Very cool weather for a dive in the river.
Damn, TIL. That’s pretty cool. I may have played some CS:Source matches with Polish people, then.
Nope, 🇵🇹. Did “xD” originate from 🇵🇱? I kinda just saw it somewhere and started using it. :)
Idk why you’re down voted, I think you’re right. Also aren’t tankies part of the left, leftist infighting aside?
Edit: To clarify, giving them a word that makes leftist infighting seem silly seems, pointless. The only people on the left I know of that use the word tankie literally don’t even try to understand the other side. It’s not taking a word away from them that’s going to stop it. It’s by approaching every conversation with humility, and explaining them the theory they so clearly lack. If even so they think you’re wrong (and bring arguments, ofc), and you can’t defend using theory, then maybe they’re right? I don’t understand, isn’t this the point of the whole reading part everyone agrees we should do?
