If they are ethically made by union labor, there is nothing anti marxist about selling a shirts. 😁

Kiddo I am an atheist, settle down.

Religon is always the probelm, it’s a control mechanism from thousands of years ago that is no longer necessary in our society, but this dangerous tool is just left lying around for any con man to take advantage of.

Colonizer mindset

Lol someone’s pissy.

I know your position, and share much of it. But I’ve also grown enough to learn that religions exist in many forms, many are cults and evil, but blaming the issues in Palestine on religion is a childish diversion. They were choosing between that and fucking Argentina when deciding where to found Israel and felt it more important to have a foothold in the middle east.

Religion was the excuse.

Settler colonialism is the evil, religion is the excuse.

I meant an ideological stepping stone to further left wing ideas.

I cannot list them off the top of my head, but I am curious about the 6 you mentioned and their goals and how they met them.

Oh, sorry. Please don’t mistake me for a social democrat, my description is nebulous because my politics are a bit beyond your instance’s tastes. 😅

I have seen far too many half hearted attempts at general strikes with poor planning amount to near nothing. To me it seems that there are strata of political discordance, and each strata requires a greater number of participants. While strikes are a a very powerful tool they require a sizable buy in, and prolonged efforts to take effect. Further they exist as an appeal to the current system to allow concessions, rather than a deconstruction of the current paradigm. I ask this genuinely, what would you see as reasonable concessions for a general strike that would be achievable enough to be met, while still powerful enough that it would reshape the fundamental white supremacy and fascism that has been cultivated in the US since reconstruction? Not to mention the issues of the status quo before Trump, police militarization, climate change, military industrial complex, to name a few.

To me a more meaningful effort would be to build paths that help others divorce themselves from the old systems, while they destroy themselves. As opposed to trying to organize a country wide general strike.

This is a valid criticism, and good reason to be skeptical of their actions, but I think it’s really hard to ignore that they are doing good work to get messing out there and help focus the energy brewing in a worth while direction. Even if they are not the end, they are doing important work and are at the very least a stepping stone.

I think people are far far too quick to call for general strikes in our current era. For those close to unions, strong strikes are ones that are well coordinated, funded, and supported. They have strike pay, food networks, and daycare services. We can look at calls for general strikes from established unions, like the UAW. They set it years in advance to let people plan.

A poorly supported strike can lead to scatterings of people losing money, their jobs, and faith in the power of unions. I think it’s wise to not push for action outside the ability of the current state of labor in the country.

There have already been several rulings against the constitution for places within 100 miles of the border, it’s never been more than a piece of paper and decorum.

lemmy.ca only has one??

I believe emby went proprietary, and jellyfin is the fork that stayed open source. Naturally Lemmy prefers the FOSS one 😅

Assuming you know them well enough, can’t you just give your IP address to folks and forward the port on your router?

Option 1: Remote playback with a Plex Pass

Upgrading to any Plex Pass subscription is a great option for server owners, as it ensures all users accessing the Plex Media Server can stream remotely, without an additional charge. Even if you don’t run your own Plex Media Server, a Plex Pass subscription will not only allow you to stream remotely from any server to which you have access, but also lets you make use of other Plex Pass functionality like Skip Intro and Skip Credits.

Can’t stop, won’t stop

Sounds like weakness to me comrade.

This is a BIG moderation problem of this community.

Then leave 😊

The second sentence doesn’t only apply to folks going into the medical field, and I would say a lot of jobs help people.

Do you really think regular people, who go into debt just ~40k based on what the article states, should also be comp’ing that other case with perks/debt forgiveness?

Yes.

It’s just that a lot of the articles around the subject seem very heavily skewed by political bias

I think this is why I am not super interested in engaging with the particulars of your reply. Because you’re right, there is selection and political bias in this article. But not in the direction you think. Because the article completely omits the culture pressures that started the issues of student loans. That for many it was seen as the only path out of poverty, and wanting to foster that while still allowing markets to drive everything in the country, the government decided the loans was the correct solution. Since these were 18 year olds getting goods that could not be returned, the only market solution to that was make the loans not discharged on bankruptcy.

Once the costs were abstracted into the future, the tuition start to quickly rise, and with government backing the student loans, the loans rise with them. Since schools are now getting an order of magnitude more from each student they lure in, they heavily push the idea that you will be flipping burgers for minimum wage unless you have a degree, reframing university as not a place of higher learning for those with exceptional interest, to the necessary step after high school. This taking root devalues all degrees, but 4 year degrees in particular, leading to a drop in the salaries expectations of the professional class with 4 year degrees.

With this market driven strategy giving rise to these new problems, income driven payment plans become much more common, and with those being cut off, suddenly the 1.6 trillion dollar debt bubble in the US starts to become realized. Which is what this article is touching on from a more personal level.

All of that being said, reaching for criminal defense lawyers as your example of a morally abhorrent and greedy career track says much more about your bootlicking than anything. If you had a worthwhile conception of the problem and reality of it, you would have picked one of the much better examples.

Then the question becomes who will the cops side with.
