I honestly don’t personally know any real-life person who acts like that - they’re either just not scared of cool infrastructure, or they’re the occasional ‘patriot’ freak whose nationalist/racist enough to consider Japan a threat too.

Leave the straw-man circlejerking to the rightoids, comrade.

Despite my disagreements with local anarchists, they are objectively helping people and are lightyears above the Online Left. I will take comrades of almost (almost!) all tendencies over the Online Left.

Speaking as a Marxist who sees the PRC and the CPC as a current progressive world force - why are all your posts so aggressively-ridiculous strawman slop, as if its aimed to alienate working people? It’s the flavor I see in dirtbag-left online circlejerks and never among communists I’ve seen in real life, and I’ve met thousands of us.

Thanks for the screencap. It looks nice! Much more focused than Hydrus.

Other have already explained, but to simplify, a tag-based media archive. The original is Danbooru (cardboard), an anime-based one (including NSFW, so I haven’t linked). They often tend to be fandom-based.

A high-quality safe-for-work example of a standard online booru is Find A Fox.

OP’s tool is a local single-user booru instead, using Hydrus Network as an example. Personally, I like its UI, and while it has a developer-driven swiss-army knife design vibe, I still like it and have used a wide range of its many options. I haven’t tried Blombooru and can’t see many screenshot samples so I can’t assume what specific issues OP has and how Blombooru solved them.

What’s been your favorite non-Abrahamic, non-local celebration?

Someone posted an image that says “Verify you are human”, with the test being “I stand with Palestine”.

The implication is that those who do not, are not human.

Yes, joking about how Zionist scum (and apathetic people) lack humanity is dehumanization. The image is very literally saying some is not human if they don’t stand with Palestine.

And to recap what I said, this isn’t some moral objection - death to the Zionist Regime and those who empower it. The problem is that dehumanization of humans is an anti-materialist delusion, which has historically led to underestimating enemies.

I’ll slapfight that, because that’s a waste of time and water.

No, it isn’t standing with Palestine, nor standing against it. It’s simply pointless and a tactical error.

Dehumanizing is a mistake that the Nazis made, leaving them vulnerable to their own propaganda. They expected all their victims to be sneaky, cowardly and inferior, and they paid for that mistake.

Dehumanizing the new wave of fascists leaves us open to the same mistake.

The people committing genocide in Palestine are human, and it’s important for us to stop them by any means necessary, including killing them.

Unfortunately it initially made me think of the red triangle badges in Nazi Germany’s concentration and extermination camps.

Another, longer video with a more formal structure and more evidence on screen: NonCompete’s The “Founding Fathers” were the Original Epstein Class.

It’s a fair point - one of the most important steps in change is understanding the power we have. Not just as individuals, but collectively.

Don’t wish for a future. Instead, want to build that future. I want to build a functioning justice system.

Didn’t even know there was one. Is it an exiled community, or just happens to be popular here just like everywhere else?

If you don’t and just enjoy the thought of killing people you disagree with then you should be out celebrating alongside MAGA over the murder of Renee Good.

This is a bizarre comparison.

UnitedHealth, and therefore its leadership, are collectively responsible for the systemic social murder of many thousands. They (like the rest of the industry) are so ingrained into bipartisan government though lobbying and other forms of soft power that we have consistently seen no legal justice, and have no reason to expect it.

Renee Good, on the other hand, was not responsible for mass death and not an ongoing threat to millions of innocent citizens.

I don’t think it’s helpful to pretend there’s a contradiction in the definition. I’m already sick of explaining to libs that a state governed by a vanguard party isn’t claiming to have established a socialist MoP the day after the revolution.

Yep, was expecting to see the BBoC mentioned.

Emphasizing the part in that wiki page where they mention two of the co-authors disavowed the book as the main author was apparently ‘desperate’ to increase the number of counted victims in the ridiculous ways RiverRock mentioned.

Many years ago, I posted about how horribly written it was, and right on cue, a neo-Nazi pipes in asking which translation it was, because apparently all the faithful translations are a Jewish trick, or something…

No reply when I posted the introduction in original German, of course.

Christmas music

There are a couple of songs I like, but honestly a lot of it is junk, which wouldn’t be too bad if they hadn’t already been playing in stalls for half a month.

The Grinch wears a top hat.

Normal is crazy, so it could be either. My shock when 🏴‍☠️ I realized that TV show episodes (not streaming) are generally 22 minutes for a half-hour slot - almost a third of TV is ads.
