Liberapay is the best, they have zeros fees and are funded by their own system.

Just got around to reading this, excellent post. It’s unfortunate but necessary work to continually debunk the neo-luddites every time new technology gets introduced.

You hit it on the head that these tools are neutral, and their mis-use under capitalism is not an argument to reject them wholesale.

I spose since orwell was a british troop in burma, he’s only a few decades early for this.

They used this in vietnam w/ the phoenix program to help identify and kill a lot of people.

This isn’t the space for this, nor do we have any expertise on it. Seek a mental health professional or other resources.

I’ve heard good things, but also that it was somewhat depressing / dystopian, as compared to star trek’s overall optimism. Not to say that’s bad in any way, just that its not for everyone… is that the case?

Thx!

Taking a firm proletarian stand on how good this book is. It should be required reading for all communists.

Just donated, hope everything ends up well comrade.

Otto warmbier was an international story, and they did spin it into an anti-DPRK story. We wouldn’t know his name if it wasn’t.

Warmbier was never paid for his attempt because he died obviously, but if the money was a motivating factor, then it succeeded.

10k is a small price to pay for an international propaganda win. Upper-class USonians spend less than that on re-roofing their house every few years.

Absolutely. The only reason they’d refuse to do an autopsy, is because it would confirm with certainty what the doctors already knew, that it was medication-related.

It hits hard. The colonialists have nothing to teach us, and we have no need to take after the terrible examples they set. We have our own morality and our own heroes to look up to.

I’m also a vegan tankie and would be glad to join.

I get that people get hot about this one, and its not necessarily a bad thing to make a people’s court post about stuff like this. We always gotta be open to criticism.

Here’s the thread for context everyone, and the specific comment.

They’re using some edgy language, and that debate got spicy, but their comment doesn’t seem like they’re calling for ethnic cleansing of kurds at the hands of islamic fascists. They’re being critical of Rojava as a US-funded military project.

Thx.
