  • Nice! Any tips you can give based on recent experience? Nothing that compromises your infosec, of course.

  • This is why I follow the golden rule: never be Canadian

  • I keep telling folks not to place their hopes in imperialist trade unions. This is a problem going back before Marx and is part of Lenin's theory on the necessity of a vanguard party: the unions won't express working class interests on their own (they will express workplace interests and sometimes imperialist interests) and need to be dragged into solidarity.

    This is also an example of how decentralized protest/organizing spaces are really controlled by whoever has the nearest megaphone - possibly the least democratic and decentralized way of doing something. It's important to do central coordination and regulation of each other's behaviors. To be clear, I don't mean that just one party makes all the decisions, just that there needs to at least be a centralized coalition that makes decisions, explicitly lays out plans, stands by them, and communicates all of this to the entire group. This also includes inoculating new people against basic mistakes like talking to cops.

    Here are the ways this situation could have been avoided:

    1. Familiarize everyone with the plan and designate zone leaders. You don't listen to the rando on a megaphone, you listen to the zone leader.
    2. Have someone else nearby with a megaphone ready to shout this person down.
    3. Do a training so that everyone knows what plan to follow and doesn't need a zone leader to know that they should ignore megaphone orders.
    4. Ensure that experienced/trained people are distributed such that an ingress is not staffed solely by newbies and babies.
    5. Create better barricades/defense locations in the first place because you clearly don't have enough people to handle that chokepoint. One layer of people thick at most? You're fucked. Or make an earlier call to disband and then return because you're not ready for the fight yet.
  • Merriam Webster defines spy as this:

    a person employed by one nation to secretly convey classified information of strategic importance to another nation

    I think that fits.

  • ext4 for system partitions and zfs for anything dedicated to personal data storage.

  • SA has a subimperialist role towards Yemen. They would extract value from its ports just like imperialists did in the past by giving themselves sweetheart deals. They also got to control oil production. And of course, part of SA's deal is to be US lackeys most of the time.

  • Cool they break their CPUs with software and then charge for the privilege of unbreaking them.

    Everyone's trying to get in on the subscription service grift because it looks good to the finance ghouls.

  • Just the P320 and it was more or less recalled (after a lawsuit) because of that.

    Guns are inherently unsafe but an NYPD cop doesn't "accidentally" fire their gun, they fire it through negligence or intentionally.

  • Definetely not.

    The white moderate is, per MLK's description, the person that says they agree and are your ally but that "now is not the right time" and that your methods that create tension are wrong. The white moderate is the person saying to stop protesting and vote but that Palestine should be free.

    Biden is a naked Zionist that believes in the project and funds it directly, including the current genocidal escalation.

    There is certainly tut-tuting but very little of it comes from people that claim anti-Zionism. The only examples I can think if are from ultras and Trots and there are very few of them to begin with. Most of the tut-tuting comes from liberals that justify Zionism.

  • Most spies are just white collar nerds that work in an office building and move money and information around to the worst people on the planet.

    This person is at least spy-adjascent as they work with intelligence.

  • It's the plagiarism machine's artistic vision, sweaty

  • The Parenti quote about the US media spinning every event in the USSR as devious and malevolent is relevant.

  • I think they went back on that because they were too frustrated at not being able to jump straight to killing people quite as easily.

  • Not sure if the intent is to say that accidental firing happens but I don't think of whacking a gun repeatedly behind the pin with a mallet as accidental or stimulating an accidental situation (like a fall).

  • You can see the cop pull his hand right by the trigger when it goes off. He's either wearing a holster that doesn't protect the trigger (negligent) or isn't wearing it correctly (negligent).

  • Cops pretty much always carry Glocks.

    Glocks have a trigger safety that prevents them from firing when dropped or otherwise abused but make it very easy to begin firing without thinking.

    Cops prefer this setup because they're lazy cruel cowards that want as little between them and filling a kid with bullets as possible.

    But they don't fire accidentally.

  • Wait until he learns how beer is made
