I dont think I could dislike the name any more than I do.

Radio Free Asia is a CIA front for info dissemination so anyone who’s aware of that would rightfully be skeptical of ‘Radio Free ______’
Ill put it like this, im serious enough about it that this is as much of it I’d ever say on the internet.

Its funny because there’s a user assuming the astro turf is going the other direction and they’re getting mostly up voted. Too many people are thinking with their feelings instead of their brain.
Im fully against public down votes becaue I already see people calling out other users by their name in threads they’re not even part of. Theres no world where that behavior gets better when you give them more tools to witch hunt. Lemmy is as much an insular echo chamber as any social media and there are plenty of users dedicated to keeping it that way.
Big fan of The Left Hand Path. It is many things to many people but my understanding is that within the left hand path comes the notion that growth is catalyzed by conflict. If all things align with your morals and situations you have reached stasis. Conflict challenges the self to overcome and grow. Thus I am able to look at a world full of conflict as full of opportunities to grow, and able to understsnd the fact that conflict will always eventually arise as the fact that we will always be able to grow.
To your point, Manon Rheaume played a pre season game with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the early 90s.
Exactly. Its no coincidence we went from Occupy Wall Street and national level discourse about actual healthcare and UBI, to such debates as ‘is genocide okay?’ and ‘are nazis bad?’ Purposeful misdirection that in it’s staunch opposition to anything left of capitalism, created fascism.
I feel like many forms of anarchism exist on a spectrum that contains communism as well. I’m not the most well read but I wonder if anarchism with some kind of currency can be established, or maybe just some kind of interim anarchism somehwere in that spectrum as the mode of production changes.
Exactly the first thing I thought of after reading the post. OP sounds like they’d enjoy reading about syndicalism.
Ahh good call, I hated their official app.
Thats the neat part, you don’t. Social medias value isn’t determined by it’s tech. Its value is determined by who and what you can interact with. For example, people wont leave Facebook because everyone they know is on facebook because people won’t leave Facebook. Twitter is literally run by a nazi at this point and still it’s the same story where Mastodon and Bluesky aren’t even close. Same thing for reddit and lemmy. Lemmy simply doesn’t have the content reddit does, look no further than sports subreddits where any given game has a live game thread with a hundred or more unique commentors.
If you want mode people to come here you’re going to need to do two things. One you need to post content people want to see, and two you need to get very very lucky because as it stands if you don’t care enough about decentralization to lose out of a lot of content, theres literally no reason to be here. Its a long slow road and you’re still going to need reddit to do something stupid before we see another growth spike.
Body positivity almost doesn’t exist for men. As soon as some asshole guy does something, its jokes about their body. Ive seen jokes about being short and no one cares as long as your talking about Putin or Tory Lanes, fat and small dick jokes constantly thrown at Trump. All of these are body shaming that will never be seen by the people they’re directed at but will be seen by pleny of others with those features.
If you believe the patriarchy doesn’t harm men and can’t be enforced or upheld by any gender, you have an incomplete view of what patriarchy is.
Courage the cowardly dog is how I describe the word Kafkaesque to people who didn’t read Kafka. At least the not bureaucratic context of that word, but im sure I could find an episide that has the bureaucratic context too.
Everyone says to talk about your problems but the second you do, you’re told that women either have it worse or how they have some worse problem. I’ve largely stopped talking about my problems because I’m never heard, just talked past or worse, made out to be the problem. The older I get the more reinforced my silence is because evey time I open up it’s used against me and this is just normal.
Meanwhile I’m expected to play therapist when someone else talks about their problems and I have to stop my autistic ass from telling them I really don’t want to hear about you. I can’t even get the silence I give returned to me.
I can confirm that if you stop drinking water, in 72 hours or so you won’t have to worry about microplastics.
Obviously stop the war but after that: Step one, thorough cleaning of public offices. Step two MRUSSRA hats. Step three, no profits.
Did the person who named the station know, or did they not research the name they ended up choosing? Its been declassified, it’s on Wikipedia. It strikes me as anywhere from unlikely to unresponsible that the guy didn’t research what he intended to use for a name.
