Anarchists believe in Free Association which is also the freedom to disassociate.

Free association does not mean you get to go into a community that is not yours and say whatever you want without repercussion.

The community has the right to disassociate with you. And considering there are about 4 people who contribute to the community, myself included, I think it’s completely fair if we don’t neoliberals in our space bothering us with their bad takes.

YDI.

You weren’t welcome there, seems obvious enough. Not sure why a “anarchist” troll like yourself thinks they deserve an explanation.

Neoliberal nonsense in a leftist comm? YDI.

The idea of a ballot being capable of reducing the harm in a system rooted in colonial domination and exploitation, white supremacy, hetero-patriarchy, and capitalism is an extraordinary exaggeration. There is no person whose lives aren’t impacted everyday by these systems of oppression, but instead of coded reformism and coercive “get out the vote” campaigns towards a “safer” form of settler colonialism, we’re asking “what is the real and tragic harm and danger associated with perpetuating colonial power and what can be done to end it?”

Harm reduction is harmful

Voting as harm reduction does more harm than good. Accepting reforms through voting makes people settle for a partial goal; it is a concession. From this position of compromise, the state entrenches its position, and it becomes more difficult to push further, for voters fear losing their partial gains. Accepting harm reduction also divides the movement, because some will be satisfied with the crumbs, while others want it all (see the split at the ZAD). Harm reduction also assumes that the harm (the government) cannot be removed entirely, which is an argument that there can be no anarchy.

Voting is not harm reduction

For the vast majority of issues, there’s no difference between the political parties. They are all the parties of business, climate destruction, deportation, incarceration, police, surveillance, drone strikes, sacred site desecration, et cetera. By getting you to believe that there is a lesser of two evils, the state dampens your desire for abolishing it, because you are meant to believe that things will be worse if you don’t vote and support a political party. Look at the fact that the George Floyd Rebellion occurred under Trump, where liberals, and progressives, and leftists didn’t get what they want, where the harm was supposedly greater, than under Biden, where those same people lie dormant, accepting the lesser evil world as a blessed reprieve.

99% of people do not need a SUV, yet they are so predominant. They should be banned.

Lemmy is legal because it’s too small for them to notice.

And YouTube is an incredible resource for finding information. It’s not social media at all.

I regret Gavin Newsom.

Lemmy is terrible software for stopping bad actors. I feel like the devs designed it.

But Americans aren’t doing anything about it except voting.

So like collapsing playgrounds?

If you’re looking for purpose, being part of a genocidal war machine isn’t one unless you’re a Nazi.

Are you a Nazi metakrakalaka?

Trump is taking all Putins spotlight.

I’ve never paid for YouTube and don’t see ads either.

Thank you for adding the content warning, I almost opened this at work.

One joke.

at the expense of a people being bombed.

I’ve not looked into them too much, what’s concerning about them for you?

What’s more likely, that there are not women capable for the job or that women are not getting the job due to their gender?

And why is it that none of them have more women than men? If it’s purely about capability, surely somewhere should be majority women yet they aren’t.

That’s why a more even split has to be sought, because it’s already artificially imbalanced against women. You cannot have a fair system where the best person gets the job while the current issues persist.
