      Yup, new evidence came out revealing that the guy was a Neo Nazi.

      spoiler

      Sadly, this won’t be last one. Remember the other attack in a school in Guadalajara? That shitbag was also a Neo Nazi too.

    Finally swapped my desktop over to Linux! Found out Hyprland dev is shit, so trying to figure out if I want Sway, Niri, or just Plasma. CachyOS is cool but I also feel the pull of Arch… Decisions decisions decisions.

    Mainly a gaming PC but I also want to use it for basic productivity, libreoffice and the like + relearning to program, primarily interested in Rust and Clojure based on the buzz I see around them. Not serious dev work, just messing around on the side.

      Great, i personally run Sway because it’s really easy to configure and superbly stable. Other than the flashy animations Hyprland is not that good, i tried it for a while and went back to Sway even before all the light came out of the developer.

      If you want gaming, Bazzite (or smth) is pretty much the best one you got, following I think by CachyOS and then technically SteamOS but I'm not sure it's possible to install on your own PC, I haven't really checked into it. And for your UI, choose whatever makes you happy and doesn't stress you. Remember that Linux is for basically only nice if tinkering with your PC is a hobby

      Good to see some fellow leftist hockey fans. It’s an expensive sport to play so players tend to be rich conservatives, and fans as well

    Saw this on twitter and it really pissed me off, western leftists seem to be constantly shitting on actual liberation movements and then turning around and praising socdems, i hate these kinds of “leftists” so much

      I thought it was common knowledge in socialist circles that Jacobin is part of the imperialism-compatible left? This isn’t the first time they smeared an anti-imperialist global south government.

        I figured that out quickly but i hadn’t heard of them before, or at least i never payed enough attention to them to the point that i would know their name

          They’re pretty well known and unfortunately seen as very reputable by the broader western left, especially socdems and “democratic socialists”.

      “more pragmatic than socialist” is really telling on themselves - that they think socialism can function by ignoring what is practical

      these are idealists posing themselves as socialists, neglecting the scientific part of it

        Non-pragmatic socialists are either dead socialists or socialists still stuck handing out newspapers. Either way, they are not seizing and wielding power to build a better world.

        Captain Traoré is building a better world for his people.

        See, I think there is a discussion to be had on whether Traore is a socialist or a bourgeois revolutionary and that can be interesting discussion to be had and that is ultimately relevant to the future of Burkina Faso and its people.

        But Jacobin’s particular framing of socialism and pragmatism as being mutually exclusive very quickly highlights their idealism at play. As cfgaussian noted a socialist who isn’t pragmatic is either ineffective or dead. The socialism of Jacobin is inherently Owenist to the core. They aren’t Marxists nor do they conduct Marxist analysis; there is no dialectical materialism to be found in their articles. What we find instead are pieces like this which are critical of anti-imperialist struggles without justifying that critical position - and this is crucial because it is entirely possible to validly critique anti-imperialist struggles, this is why the “critical” in “critical support” exists after all. But Jacobin doesn’t do this. It offers the criticism without the support but that’s not how it works. If you’re going to criticize Traore then there are only two positions you can be in: support or opposition. You either criticize him because you oppose him or you criticize him despite supporting him; there is no middle ground. You are either on the side of the imperialists or the side of the anti-imperialists. Jacobin, it seems, isn’t interested in siding with the anti-imperialists and that means there is only one other side to take.

        I can see why Chomsky loves these guys as they have a lot in common: criticism without the support; i.e. pro-imperialism.

      These typical, Western “leftists” and their servility to the imperialists getting caught up on slinging their leftist buzzwords and doing their useless “purity” checks instead of doing actual, material analysis and real, on-the-ground work to improve people’s lives. “Pragmatic socialist” this, “center-left blah blah blah” that, like, holy shit, these fools need to shut the hell up and go learn some dialectics and learn to do some actual, real-world work. That is, if they’re not too busy being on the CIA’s payroll. A bunch of useless, revisionist, counter-revolutionaries is what they are.

      I didn’t know they were that cool. They also commemorated an antifascist fan who was stabbed to death by a fascist Atlético fan 28 years ago.

    Really feel like when I stop posting on reddit, all the shitlibs just come and take over.

    I’ve been drastically reducing my social media usage in general, and stuff just gets worse when I stop.

    I had this thought during the brief nuclear threat moment some time ago and I thought to myself that if nukes really fell I still was expected to work the next day and it made me angry lmao. We are a strange species.
