Allowing billionaires to exist is for the weak.

It's about economic and strategic interests for the US. These have held true for decades, across all kinds of US admininstrations, and predates any real evangelical fervor. The US is guaranteed Israeli support, since Israel depends entirely on the US for its existence. In the spirit of "the purpose of a system is what it does", I don't believe that the US ever disapproves of the horrors Israel commits. The US could exercise power whenever it wants, but it rarely if ever does. Of course, Israel has its own interests, but they rarely contradict US goals in the region.

I mean, none of them would describe themselves as an-prim.

They all have support of industrialized areas. None of them are/were an-prim.

How do they manufacture their defensive weapons or communications equipment in harmony with nature? I'm just saying that an-prim isn't a realistic model for the world.

I think it sounds nice, but it's hard for me to take it seriously.

Death to Israel. Zero right to exist.

This sounds like anarcho-primitivism.

We need a crowd-sourced parallel surveillance network that tracks cops and politicians. Faces, license-plates, Bluetooth...

Look hard enough, or message the sellers and you can get Luigi.

"It's socialism or barbarism!". It's because there hasn't been any other convincing arguments otherwise. If you give the capitalists an inch, they'll eventually take it all. You cannot allow capital to accumulate to the degree that it wields real political power.

 

Hi friends. Is it fucked up to flirt with someone with no intention of taking it further? I'm in a long-term monogamous relationship. Sometimes I crave a little validation from strangers. I'm not going to cheat on my partner, but I do have a need to feel desirable to others. I don't feel like a bit of flirting is a betrayal of my relationship, but I'm less confident about how other people feel. Like, I don't want to waste someone else's time, but I guess maybe I am leading people on a bit if I chat with them without mentioning my partner.

 

Howdy comrades. I'm building out a little kit, and I'm being thrifty about it. I need advice for 556 (and 9mm pistol I guess) mag pouches. Are they all the same? Is it possible to go too cheap (ie, Aliexpress)? I want to carry 4 556 mags on this kit, but they have to be split up, since my rig is a vest.

 
 

Saw a bartender wearing this one.

 

Has anyone made the hexbear emoji library into signal stickers yet? If so, where can I cop. If not, waaaaahhh!

 

I've been thinking of getting or making a PCC, and just watched this video. I love all the expertise and consideration that has gone into it, but damn if it doesn't seem like it ends up costing a couple grand! It's also longer than what I envision. Having never fired an MP5, I'll take Karl's word that the AR platform has better ergonomics, but I really like the MP5 form-factor. Is anyone here rocking a suppressed PCC?

 

Coworker just picked up this crazy thing. It's a .22 imported from the Philippines.

 

I just went down to our local lib demonstration. All I could really feel was depressed. All those people waving signs but I wonder how many are willing to do anything more than that? Shit most of them were pretty old, tbh. I approached some people I clocked as comrades but I was very awkward and we didn't have a conversation.

I guess I don't really have a question here. Just feel like everybody has identified (some of) the problems, but have totally misidentified the solutions. Will these protests ever accomplish anything? Can we radicalize the protestors without them having to get beaten by cops? Or is that what it will take?

 

I have something very strange happening. I have a seedbox and I did a manual search/download from Radarr, which initiates the download in qBittorrent as expected. The file begins downloading, and at some point before completion it just disappears completely. The qbit logs just say "torrent removed" without further explanation. I do have qbit set to remove torrents after they hit a defined ratio, but that definitely isn't happening here. Anyone seen this behavior before?

 

What is going on with Hexbear federation? I can still only see Hexbear posts from before the domain kerfluffle. Is lemmy.ml no longer federated with Hexbear?

 

I've been looking at plate carriers lately but I don't know much about them. I have some level 4 plates I bought a few years ago. Would like to go the milsurp route to save some coin if I can. Anyone want to chime in with opinions or examples of setups they're happy with?
