Thanks you, yeah, that’s true.

Could I kindly ask for some recommended reading, then, if you or anyone happens to have any suggestions, please

I love this post…

If that’s true, that is good and valid. I will kindly say that again, that even if you call yourself a “patsoc” but practice marxist-patriotism, as you state that Caleb does (sorry I don’t know anything about them) - nothing wrong with that.

However, there is at least a reactionary group bearing that name, that a lot of people, myself including, have had vastly negative reactionary interactions with.

@SaddamHusein24 I think you have a small misunderstanding. The patriotism of actual Marxists, dare I say even in America, should be upheld - and I mean the patriotism of wanting your country to be destroyed and reborn as Lenin said, and to flourish for all the American people. The genuine belief that the American worker should be supported and treated fairly, regardless of minority grouping, and that they deserve better is a great thing!

The “patriotism” of “PatSocs” is vastly different. PatSocs are a very specific reactionary group with specific views here in the west. They believe that we should all hunker down and throw away the “liberal wokeness that is internationalism” and put trans people in gulgas since they’re “lib degenerates” and that’s what Stalin would have wanted. It’s reactionary position not based on any real material analysis, and as such, should be combated.

It’s wierd that you say that, I expected MM&TBS to go a lot harder but I didn’t find anything too anti-cap at all imo. A lot of personal things but not much about the system. Definitely not compared to e.g. To pimp a butterfly

Then you reach the end songs and he literally says “Lately, I redirected my point of view” I got a kid and a family I choose me i’m sorry

And then you go back to the previous songs again and start reading in a bit

“The industry has killed the creators, I’ll be the first to say (What the fuck?) To each exec’, “I’m saving your children”—We can’t negotiate (What the—)”

e.g. the execs saying “hey with this pay i’m saving your children here but you can’t rap about this stuff no more”

and in the songs later he’s like ‘i can’t please everbody people look up to me and i have to just nod along and say the music is gonna keep coming’ and that he can’t be this world-saviour character

and like total repsect for that he has a family and 2 kids now and it seems like he chose to self-preserve and you know 100% get it

But I think the anti-capitalist Kendrick has been suppressed

At least to pimp a butterfly still goes hard

They have to, the laws of capital demand it

Some slower than others, sure, but any capitalist that doesn’t will be outcompeted by one that does

Look what they did to our poor NHS here in the UK…

Heck i meant to write You -> VPN -> Tor my bad, but yes you’re totally right on that front

Also agree just use tails without anything extra probably easiest way

But also very interested in the convo above explaining why we’re both potentially wrong lol

Hm, that makes sense to me. I am not versed well enough in privacy topics to see why that’s not the case, so I think you’re correct. And the more I search, the more people say that yes You -> Tor -> VPN does not hinder the tor connection itself and protects the non-tor traffic coming out of your system + people probably trust their VPN way more than their ISP for good reason.

That is true, yes, but also it highly depends on your VPN provider and what you’re avoiding. Since I Imagine most communists want to avoid “the government” and not some specific group:

"Against a global adversary with unlimited resources more hops make passive attacks (slightly) harder but active attacks easier as you are providing more attack surface and send out more data that can be used. " and “If the VPN/SSH server is adversary controlled you weaken the protection provided by Tor.” (i.e. the US may very well give large sums of money and threats to access VPN logs, because at the end of the day, these services operate for money).

“if you know how to configure it properly” is key because you actually should not use a VPN if you use tor unless you know exactly what you are doing.

You are creating a common entry/exit point that your government/ISP can monitor, which might make tor less secure at best, and basically obsolete at worst, depending on how you set it up.

Imagine a person who may not enjoy being called “she” (this may very well be true for you, if you are a regular cis amab). And I mean being called that not once, but constantly, by all your family, friends, and coworkers, every day.

Now imagine they also actually, in exactly the same way, do not enjoy being called “he” (like cis afabs tend not to).

Now imagine, it just so happens, that they also do not enjoy being called “they”.

What do you do then?

You look for alternatives.

Neopronouns + etc. are nothing more then the natural conclusion of people recognising themselves of not fitting within our class-society-constructed gender norms, but having no reference but the existing framework to work with.

They do no harm, allow the speaker to feel more comfortable and express themselves more accurately, and are no more inconvenient than trying to remember somebody’s name or alias (and god knows I’m bad at remembering names but that’s ok!).

As @ana also mentioned, they are a sign of transition towards a less restrictive/gender-“abolished” society, which I am 100% in favor of.

Generally, I do not believe it makes sense to oppose this in any way, and if anything, Marxists should protect people using them like they should any other LGBT person.

Of course it does

Not to sound like an ad, but I can confirm proton currently doesn’t (though it’s not that much greater for privacy)

Thank you, can confirm that’s my acc, I’ve sent you a pm! Can also confirm that I’ve received no emails, so I would appreciate a temp password PM or an email with one or so, thank youu

Oh thank you!!

And yeah, I don’t 100% remember if i used NyoomDelight or Nyoomie but it’s one of the two

I’ll believe it when I see it

The post literally shows you it’s happening

I am now infinitely curious

communism <=> lgbt identity <=> really fucking obscure hardcore music, it’s okay I completley understand

As for getting doxxed, it’s about the same as torrenting, people can see your ip and country flag but nobody cares they just use it to download music lol. Use a diff username and a vpn if you’re too concerned

So…they’re doing ZeroNET again?
