I don’t know what you did but you need to get your shit together

I also ate packing peanuts at a punk house, no living room trampoline unfortunately haha. Is this just a punk house thing?

What about that picture indicates she’s disabled? Why say something that is solely to point out some random persons perceived flaws? How did you think anything you’ve written in these comments was pertinent/contributed to anything? The fact that you thought you were being either racist or ableist with your comments and decided to post them anyway is mind boggling

So I can’t do whipits as a show of solidarity in the climate struggle? Damn.

If you have to start a sentence with “I don’t want to be racist but…” That’s probably a thought you should keep to yourself if you don’t want people to think you’re racist

If you live in the states, Libby is a lifesaver. It’s an online audiobook thing for libraries. You can use your library card to check out audiobooks through the app. And if you’re unable to use Libby for some reason, I’ve heard mobilism has a lot of audiobooks for free

The poors aren’t people silly!

You beat me to the punch. It works great! 15-20 mins tops and your beer is ice cold

All of human political activity boils down to violence. If pacifism were a legitimate strategy then we wouldn’t be in our current situation.

Depends on the system and what you’re used to. I use an Xbox controller for dolphin and the first thing I did was unfuck the right joystick and map the GameCube ABXY onto the xbox’s corresponding buttons. For PlayStation I’d imagine you’d just map it to the buttons that are normally for specific actions. Eg X to jump instead of A on other controllers

Just remap the controller so the letters correspond to the right spot on the controller

Just gonna hop in and repost an old comment of mine. The context is that someone said the word Authoritarian was created during the cold war to slander “communist” countries.

The first use of authoritarian is in 1852, in the writings of AJ Davis apparently. Here’s the quote:

1856 A. J. Davis Penetralia 129 Does any one believe that the Book is essential to Salvation? Yes; there are many externalists and authoritarians who think so.

Authoritarian was also increasing in usage well before the cold war, beginning around 1910 or so. An example from Nationalism and Culture by Rudolf Rocker (an anarchist political philosopher), written in 1933:

Nietzsche also had a profound conception of this truth, although his inner disharmony and his constant oscillation between outlived authoritarian concepts and truly libertarian ideas all his life prevented him from drawing the natural deductions from it.

That’s a thoroughly modern use of the word authoritarian, written almost 15 years before the start of the cold war. Authoritarian is used to describe those who support hierarchial systems of government. That’s the short and sweet of it, perhaps not a perfect dictionary definition but it illustrates the distinctive bit. Auth-left ideologies get equivocated with fascism because there’s an undeniable ideological throughline between the two, no matter how much they hate each other.

"The working class […] cannot be left wandering all over Russia. They must be thrown here and there, appointed, commanded, just like soldiers […] Compulsion of labour will reach the highest degree of intensity during the transition from capitalism to socialism […] Deserters from labour ought to be formed into punitive battalions or put into concentration camps.’

Trotsky wrote that. It may not be 1:1 but the similarities between his ideas and those.of fascists are pretty obvious.

All of this, written before the cold war. Tell me again how authoritarian is a made up word that serves only to slander “communists”?
