Stance on Cooperation:The only war or dispute that I support is the war on inequality and suffering. People need to just grow tf up and try to cooperate to build a happier world for the most amount people with no alterior motivations.

Stance on Fascism:All of that said about my opinion of cooperation and understanding being essential, 90% of the time, the only way to 'fix' a fascist is to remove them from the equation alltogether. Which should be done with no hesitation, as fascists have already willingly voided their own moral worth and can hence do nothing but ignore the moral worth of others, making them dangerous and inhuman.

  • If the meaning of life had a color(s), what would it be?

    Jump

  • So, this is gonna be weird, but hear me out...

    I have this weird thing that is like synesthasia(-like?) thing for audio naturally becoming colors and shapes and patterns and such, but only when I close my eyes (I think that's not normal anyway). But some sounds are weird, and produce a 'color' comprised of all of them, but not white, more like a translucent silverish that you can 'see' all the colors in together simultainiously while still being one 'color'.

    Sorry if that is confusing or too surreal sounding, but I think the meaning of life woud be that 'color' thing.

  • Do you think the average Lemmy user is further left than the average reddit user?

  • yea, that's what I was implying, hence the quotations around "communists" and "left" (technically I used apostrophies, but I use *nix, so same difference)

  • The feel isolated, excluded, and invisible in society.

    I have seen it cited numerous times as white male guilt. But also to your reasons, they probobly do feel alone, because the right wing white male mob has convinced them that they should feel like that by convincing them that we hate them and want nothing to do with them. And as soon as they act like rightwing propoganda soldiers, we really don't want anything to do with them for fear of rape and murder if you want the truth (bc the same suicide demographic is the highest in those categories too, btw). So yes, if you must boil it down to us hating them for being white and male, go for that I guess, but they and their propaganda echo chambers are the ones reenforcing their self-pitying "oh poor me" attitude.

  • While it is tragic that so many men are killing themselves, it is largely reported to be due to guilt, because many of these men seem to have realized they had more priviledge and couldn't see a way to cope. It is really fucking sad that they felt that was the correct way to deal with it instead of rising up to help marginalized groups. They could have been more helpful alive than dead.

    Which is back to my point that you seem to have not responded to: These men are troubled and feel guilty, some just get angry and mean about it or kill themselves instead of trying to be a force for positive change.

    We need not strip these men of any shred of dignity they have left, they actively made the choice to kill themselves over the guilt. That was the last way in which they chose to excersize their free will, let's not make them out to have had no agency, suicide is always a choice. They could have chosen to let go of the guilt that was never really their burden to carry if they were free of wrongdoing and instead just become dedicated to helping people.

  • Firstly, the

    something you'd never do if it was any other group

    is you making the assumption that we were demonizing you bc you claim to be white straight males (which Roofus is as well, according to himself. And I like him just fine (as of this morning, having just met(?) him). We are not demonizing blanketly based off the stereotype of white straight males, when I said "y'all" were foaming at the mouth and uncivil, I meant the sub-demographic of straight white men who refuse to accept that they are not the ones suffering the most on a purely demographical level.

    It appears to trigger them to hear about other's struggles, either due to having a victem complex that the truth challenges, or my personal theory: they feel guilty for having priviledge. Which I am not judging them for, to be extremely honest. I am white, for a while, I was a denier of the priveledge I have because I didn't like the idea that I had it better then POC. But I worked through that because me denying the injustice does not help them. And I don't want to deny their suffering just to make myself feel better.

    This is why I said these white guys need therapy. To work through that guilt that they are easing by pretending they don't have it easier.

    I apologize for coming off hostile, it's just been a really long struggle for progress, historically speaking, and we are backsliding rapidly. I really don't want to hate anyone, it feels shitty. It just becomes really hard to not when so many are turning their anger at the system into hate for my family, my friends, and me.

    I really do hope you have a nice day, more people should be able to.

  • You saying men are being attacked:

    responded by attacking him personally...

    ...something you’d never do if it were any other group.

    I wasn't saying that you said men are acting uncivil or "foaming at the mouth with rage"

    I said those words in referance to what I have personally seen from many white straight men (as well as heard about them from others). I apologize if you thought I was saying you thought/said that about them.

    Really the whole thing about the idea of white straight men being attacked just makes me think of the Salem Witch Trials.

    The witches (innocent women) were obviously attacking the poor white puritan men, hence why those witches (women) got rightfully burned.

    I am sorry, but sometimes the perpetrator plays victem to feign innocents and ritiousness.

  • Noone usually takes a minute in these debates to just acknowledge when someone is fighting the good fight and has made them feel better about humanity. I would like to do that this time and say thank you for being a great person (yea I know it's cheesy, but sue me for it, lol).

    I am also really sorry you have that condition and that we live in this timeframe where that can't be quickly and adequately resolved for you. I would really love if I could offer you more tangible support, but as you say, the economy is fucked. So I guess I just wish you the best of luck.

  • You can't really exclude someone on a society-wide level who is part of the most generally accepted and respected demografic to any degree that would actually affect their life in any real way. Your arguing y'all are being attacked when you can't even have a civil discussion where you acknowledge your priviledge without foaming at the mouth with rage. Please seek therapy, all of you that can't see the real enemy.

  • ah yes, the "not all men!" defense, but about, checks notes*, White Men specifically, the group that has oppressed and targeted minorities based off from nearly EVERY CRITERIA OF 'OTHERNESS' POSSIBLE. No, no, I will definately invite some chill straight white men to my next campaign, but you good sir, are neither 'chill', nor are you invited. Have a day.

  • Do you think the average Lemmy user is further left than the average reddit user?

  • Yea, like 'communists' who have gone so far 'left' that they will stand by authoritarian regimes like China and the USSR despite evidence showing them to be abusive to citizens in similar ways to capitalism.

    Anyways, farewell, for I must away again before they hunt me for sport like they did during the Russian revolution. (I am an anarchist, btw. Welcome to Lemmy)

  • Did you write this whole book in the shower?

  • Is it possible to just run a pirate video streaming site from Kodi?

    Jump

  • Well, I don't know anything about hooking it up to a streaming service, but I would personally really suggest the overboard way you mentioned tbh. Just set up qbittorrent with a few choice plugins (I literally just have 1337x and that has not failed me yet) and use that PC you mentioned (HDD size permitting) to run a small media server of whatever you'd like. Sorry if that is really not what you want, I've just found it to be the best media setup personally.

  • Seems to happen a lot around here ha ha!

    Jump

  • sighs, Ok, fine, if you want to do this rn, I guess we can.

    Though I have no doubt it was probobly originally a word meant to slander real communism as the western world has done countless times (few ppl on lemmy would/should deny that the west has produced a shitton of bad anti-commie propoganda), I also fully agree that Authoritarianism does actually exist as much as Capitalism, Communism, and Anarchism exists based off of the actual agreed upon definition. If you take the definition of the system itself, there is no reason to conflate it with Communism. It IS a different system than real Communism, hence why that word was used as Anti-Communist Propaganda. It associates communism with a different (and very real) malignant system to make communism look bad. Sorry if this became too much of a rant, but I really just think that denying the existance of "Authoritarian" states is not a good idea. Let's explain to people that Communism ≠ Authoritarianism instead of trying to claim that Authoritarianism doesn't exist.

    Edit: I also fully beleive that ANY government/social system can devolve into Authoritarianism if implemented incorrectly or not vigilant enough about making sure not to centralize power in a problematic way.

  • Seems to happen a lot around here ha ha!

  • Are you... being sarcastic?

    If so: Good one!If not: I would not like to enguage in the infighting atm, so I bid you a lovely day,

  • Seems to happen a lot around here ha ha!

    Jump

  • Does it happen a lot around here though? Most of the time I think we're mostly just critical of Capitalists and Authoritarians. Usually Socialism, real Communism, and Anarchism are not really critisized except by some .world users.

    Edit: Except during a round of good ol' Leftist Infighting.

  • is i2p relevant today?

    Jump

  • It's really not, until it is. I personally see it as a fallback infrastructure for redundency if Tor, VPNs, Bittorrent, etc. go dark. But other than that, no, it doesn't really serve much of a purpose rn.

  • Not all kinksters like leather!

    I mean... I do like leather..

    But it's not because I'm a kinkster!

    (But in all seriousness, many of us, myself included, don't really like leather very much. The leather thing is a very stereotypical portrayal. That being said, it IS the best collar material imo.)

  • Snowflake addon = Tor relay? Oo

    Jump

  • No, I beleive that is just a snowflake proxy, which basically is just used when somebody first connects to the tor network to hook them up to an entrance node. So your computer is not actually acting as a node but rather an intermediary. I would also suggest not using Brave browser because I have heard bad things about it's owner and just their general policies. Many people say that brave browser is really just privacy cosplay. You can just get a copy of firefox and manually harden it yourself using noscript and a vpn. Or skip that and just use tor browser for all your privacy intensive stuff.
