@HistoPol

Yeah, all the different flavors from communism, to socialism, to anarchism.

@HistoPol
While we are making comparisons between the US & Germany's fascism, I think it would be wise to point out that the German liberals voted to give Hitler power rather than work with the true left.

In the US, the true left was quashed as part of a New Deal bargain, and our liberals are willingly "compromising" with the fascists in a pretense of statesmanship.

@HistoPol

The author is wrong to claim that the social construction of whiteness is a "view." It's a historical fact: most European immigrant groups -- Irish, Italians, Slavs, etc -- were explicitly NOT considered white when they first began arriving to the US. It was only when they had adopted the racism of "whites" *and* became demographically convenient that they were allowed into whiteness.

@mischievoustomato @jiub

Yeah, our society is breaking down and people value mere property over human life.

Physical harm over mere property is still criminal.

You're simping for criminal battery & homicide. You realize that, right? Or are you too busy picking out your new Sith name?

@mischievoustomato @jiub

That's only because there isn't a swastika emoji for you.

When you place the value of mere property over the value of life, then you have the same morals of those who ran the labor death camps in WWII.

@libreoffice

Why is the icon for LO Math missing from the logo?

I get that it's a niche program, but it's pretty cool. When I was teaching math overseas several years ago, only LibreOffice was able to write the equations I needed for tests. You folks made it easy and it looked professional, too.

@welda @libreoffice

I've seen several people asking for a morph transition feature in Impress to compete with MS's PP.

@aquarianoak1 @libreoffice

I hope your experience is as great as mine has been.

If you ever run into a problem, their help forum is great. The folks there are very friendly and knowledgeable.

@Radical_EgoCom

Interesting that they don't just repeat "following our leader," but also "following our party." That seems to strike against the cult of personality that we're told they worship.

@tillshadeisgone

Could you, please, link me to what he said/did? I don't follow them, but I want to know what happened so I can give appropriate support to our black comrades.

@Radical_EgoCom @zassenhaus

You know this topic better than I, so why do you say that? What extra qualities did Comintern have that BRICS is lacking?

@bmacDonald94

When I had a course on feminism, back in the 90's, it never mentioned any critiques of capitalism. It seems that alternatives were quite taboo then. I'm glad to see those critiques being revived by the younger generations.

@HistoPol @BlumeEvolution

The 1st Cold War never ended. US officials promised repeatedly not to expand NATO as the USSR was dissolving, and broke those promises almost before their next breath.

Simultaneously, we've been supporting fascists in Ukraine since WWII. So, NATO in Ukraine was seen as an existential crisis on Russia's doorstep.

Add fascist attacks on ethnic Russians in Donbass, & you have merely a continuation of WWII. Thanks, America.

@mattblaze

I wish that they'd put country over self & party too, but that's not how they operate. Dem leadership has been kneecapping younger potential leaders for years. Whether that's because they are clinging to power or just so ideologically committed to the capital class that they'd rather break the party than allow new ideas to take the helm, the outcome has been the same.

@HistoPol @Snowshadow

Thanks for continuing to think about this. I'm tagging now to come back & read when I have some free moments.

Fwiw, I find that I always come away learning something from our conversations.

@HistoPol @6G @GhostOnTheHalfShell @cloudguy @aniltj
Great article, thank you.

That's an amazing turnaround considering that they were on the brink of bankruptcy. A friend who works for AMD told me it was only the settlement AMD got from Intel over the kickback scheme that allowed it to survive. (It was that Intel scheme that put them at the brink, btw.)

Dr. Su did a great job leading them out of that crisis too.

@HistoPol @GhostOnTheHalfShell @6G @cloudguy @aniltj

Do you know about Intel's illegal kickback scandal that nearly bankrupted AMD years ago?

Also, are you familiar with chip developments using RISC architecture?

@HistoPol
For now, I just need a host for this intro video, so I can find a better job.

I've spent at least a couple hours looking through instances, and am flummoxed.

I've applied for an account on one, but will go apply at the libre instance too.

@HistoPol
Thank you.
I'm appealing and gave them the links to the exact song I used in the appeal, but they still rejected it. The decision came so fast that I'm sure they didn't check the info I provided, so I don't want to stay there.

If I can figure out Blender (and have time) I'm considering making an English educational channel.

Any Peertube instance recommendations?

I made an intro video for myself as an ESL (Eng 2d Lang) teacher. Taught myself how to do basic video editing and added royalty free background music. Posted to YouTube, who, of course, says it's a copyright violation. I'd rather post on PT anyway, but need to set up an account.

Eventually, I may turn this into an ESL dedicated account.
