@archlentil @jag unlisted and DM are not the same. It showed up in my home feed

@archlentil @jag public post? Maybe DM?

@foolishowl I feel like you just need to use ansible so the version history is local

@RationalizedInsanity Consider reading this before you stream protests. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anonymous-in-defense-of-smashing-cameras

@idzie Also I feel like the entire way he (among other "famous" @'s) writes is like he's trying to fill his texts with as many things as possible that people will be able to quote in the future. Like his goal is to gain quotability and notoriety? Gave me the ick real hard.

@idzie I have long been a Baryon hater because I was immediately put off at how aggressively he talked down to people in the most jargon laden way while asserting he was just a simple midwest country lad whose primary thing is educating others. Everything he says I find just incredibly grating.

@whatanerd I'm not quite following. Are you saying I'm coming off like an MRA or that OP was?

@NicholasLaney Effective is measurable. Is saying "women and children" all the time stopping Israeli from killing them? Probably not. But it is almost certainly contributing to the subtle demonization of male migrants, who make up the majority, and who often are sending money back home to take care of their families.

@NicholasLaney I don't think suggesting that we collectively as "the west" avoid contributing to the dehumanization of brown men is "being a savior" toward anyone.

@NicholasLaney I don't think that's actually an effective strategy

@Bruiserzinha @IAmSpartacus Two questions.

1) Do you think it is accurate to say "an terrorist attack on women and children" if they weren't the primary targets?

2) Do you think the men don't deserve mention?

@Bruiserzinha @IAmSpartacus Is there a reason men targeted in those attacks don't deserve to be mentioned and shown empathy?

@niedlichenacktschnecke I think this is damn near the exact same thing

I don't mean to sound like a fucking MRA here, but the phrase "women and children" with how it's used (in many cases, but especially) in regards to Israeli atrocities is pretty fucking gross actually. Arab men are routinely dehumanized and treated as acceptable targets in the "war on terror" or whatever the west thinks is happening over there.

I feel like not just liberal but most """radical""" identity politics is just completely morally impoverished at this point, but more than that, it doesn't even track reality in many cases on even the most basic things.

We genuinely will not change the world so long as we continue to think in such asinine simplistic ways.

I feel like it's genuinely fucking deranged to primarily fret about women and children during a genocide where men are lined up in the street and executed or dumped in mass graves, especially in an attack that was made against a group that is majority men.

@IAmSpartacus Mate. My guy. Duderino. Who was the attack primarily targeting? I feel like you're leaving out pretty big group here as you strain to show empathy

@riotmuffin harvest enough of these awful phrases and I'll make a lorem ipsum out of it

Hear: "We're holding space for..."
It means: "We're here to do..."

Hear: "Could we do a quick vibe check?"
It means: "Simmer down" and/or "I've lost control of the unrulies"

Hear: "I'm glad for the diversity of opinions"
It means: "Someone contradicted me but acknowledging that one idea is preferable to another would be too uncouth."

@Hex @Fishercat Only chiming in to second the last point and say that even in bigger cities, people with tight security are already known to their local cops or chuds possibly including their addresses. Once that's known, keeping hyper quiet helps very little. I think pseudonymous fedi accounts talking broadly about what they're doing in rural places isn't likely going to leak useful information.

@rufflejax say what now?
