I don’t judge them the same at all. As someone with a lot of family from a lesser developed country I have seen the devastating impacts that capitalism has on local people and populations. I’ve seen lush forests green with life from my childhood stripped for mining and resources. Ive seen people and family members exploited by wealthy Americans and Europeans. I watched as the people I loved were the last to receive critical resources during the pandemic. The US has killed and oppressed hundreds of millions and will continue to do so until it is dedtroyed.

But from where I stand Russia is not a saviour nor paragon of leftism. It is a state-capitalist country and has been for a while. as a trans and countercultural person I would not be accepted in contemporary nor historical Russia, and I know that because I have friends with family in Russia right now and who has visited that family with drone strikes overhead. The USSR was not safe for many people and has committed great atrocities in the name of communism. It was an oppressive authoritarian regime that has directly led to this moment in history. Would I rather live in the USSR than contemporary America? If I could be safe in my queer identity then absolutely. Note that I am not saying the US is safe for queer people; I am very lucky to be in one of the few safe places in this country. But if there was a third (non-European) option, I would preferably take that.

I refuse to dickride for dictatorships, and I qualify both the US and USSR under that. Maybe its just because im an anarchocollectivist/anarchocommunist but you’re going to have a very difficult time convincing me we need oppressive authoritarian powers when I have seen and experienced effective community organizing and planning to direct resources into meaningful action and change. Buildong strong resilient communities that are sovereign and self sufficient is how we fight fascism, not by becoming better fascists than our enemies.

bro is commenting under every comment thats not pro-Russia.

As a radical progressive leftist it is possible to acknowledge:

• the empire of the United States has committed uncountable war crimes and crimes against humanity to maintain control and spread capitalism
• the historical USSR had many issues of human rights abuses and while its people did not struggle in the same way as in America, it was not a perfect system nor was the socialist/communist vision ever truly implemented in its entirety
• the current Russian government is an incredibly corrupt dictatorship that does commit human rights abuses and crimes against humanity and while it may not have the influence the United States has, it is also an enemy of the people

No on is free until we are all free. Both The United States and Russia are oppressors of the people.

i personally like salt, pepper, dried minced onion, and maybe furikake. Its a great struggle meal.

canned tuna with some rice and saltines is great

what was bad about tye incredibles 2???

You chose one of the worst days to visit, come any other (non-holiday) day and I promise it’ll be a much nicer experience.

As a Chicagoan I am sorry for your loss.

You seem really intent on making sure people understand that you lack emotional intelligence

The IDF absolutely is Israel. Israel has a conscription so most citizens in Israel are active participants in the genocide of the Palestinian people. Not to mention the state of Israel is an illegal settler-colonial apartheid state so all Israelis in Israel are living on stolen Palestinian land.

However some of the strongest supporters of Palestinians have been Jewish people of all forms, including a few Israelis.

(IDF == Israel) != Jewish people

I personally recommend Fedora KDE. It’s polished and set up reasonably for the average person so you should never need to even open the terminal (you might need to fiddle with some stuff like enabling flatpacks but thats all sone in a GUI application), and it’s reasonably up to date withour shipping broken packages.

Ah see but thats a blue state with the third largest city in the country; I’ve heard about the education down in Floroda and let me tell you it does not come close to even the worst schools in Chicago.

he tried but was unironically too annoying to be let into the club

Note that 18:22 is heavily debated because its been translated as male, but more nuanced translations decribe same-sex rape, not necessarily homosexuality as whole.

this disease has rotted this country since before it’s inception. its one of the most devastating forms of ideologocial pestilence the Europeans brought over, and almost every example we’ve seen of it outside of the US was inspired by the efficiency of American hatred.

Bigotry and exploitation are the foundations of this country, and the US would not be able to exist without it. A utopian future is not one where the US is reformed; it is one where the US no longer exists. In a perfect world it probably would’ve never existed to begin with.

idk what gun channels you watch but every guntuber ive seen at a minimum has in ear pro, as well as usually over the ear protection as well. They take it off when doing their explanations and talking but by that point the firearm is cleared and set down on a table, not actively being fired.

You’re wrong, containerization is a massive security measure that shouldn’t be ignored. Proper containerization allows you to segment the namespacing of a single server by user and application; this helps massive with esrablishing boundaries that are still very difficult to cross under normal circumstances. Keycloak is an IdP which only provides one layer of security; good swcurity implements defense in depth where every layer of the system has securiry measures. Just because Linux recently had two vulnerabilities that bypass a lot of those doesn’t mean they’re worthless; you still need initial access to a nonprivileged user to exploit those and layered security can help prevent that from happening in the first place.

either 26 or 6

others are saying stick to the trail because you’ll get lost, but really you should stick to the trail so you don’t damage the local ecosystem and cause harm.

going off trail doesn’t just make you an idiot, it also makes you an asshole.

When datacenters are being powered by unregulated natural gas generators then it has a massive impact

Also worth mentioning that Linux recently has had two massive privilege escalation vulnerabilities that bypass system namespacing and thus also provide container escapes.
