violence as a means to an end, pragmatically, has enormous costs,

The people I’m talking about (the worst ones) don’t even have an “end.” No plan at all. The violence is the end. It’s pure stupidity. I see it as the lust for violence, coming up with some politics to justify itself.

I honestly think self-righteousness pushes people away. It’s why I can barely stand bluesky. During the big exodus from reddit, all these so-called far-lefties (who I think were just reddit goons doing infiltration) were all screaming for everybody to defederate. Even now, I keep arguing against idiots posting “kill a cop” or “kill fascists” memes, like this is literally an “advocate violence” platform. I don’t expect to pull big numbers with that kind of shit.

Social media is kinda washed up. A lot of people are on substack, too. The internet as a place is just less popular, I think. We’re all getting sick of it.

In theory the fediverse is not a monolith. We actually want for this to not work.

FYI the aliens who built the pyramids actually had that tech stack.

Doesn’t seem like he’s learned anything

you don’t “need” all those limes!

I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

Oh that’s nice. And they’ll let the public sit there and read and write?

I’ll forego the kettle happily enough. I can walk somewhere to get tea.

Also, I’ll happily use a coffee shop if they’re not playing music. Do you know some coffee shops that will let me sit there, that don’t play music, with tables big enough for a laptop and some notes? (getting very specific now, please forgive me!)

Do university libraries allow non-students? I’d pay for access. That would be a very quiet place to work.

Crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside

Get some nice puerh, or some white peony tea.

I order loose tea from vendors (some online, some with storefronts).

Edit:

I order from https://t-guru.ca/ and asiatica

For herbal “teas” I don’t mind, but for real tea I use steel infusers, very porous so all the flavor gets through.

the people responsible need to be stopped before they kill more innocent people

Then form a plan and do so. Nothing in this thread is remotely helpful. No plan whatsoever, just KILL KILL KILL

I work with mutual aids

I don’t believe you. You’re a FED goon.

they are literally disappearing Americans

and instead of helping them, you’re masturbating to your own violent fantasies. Because that’s all that’s happened in this dialog, and all your malignant brain is capable of.

you idiot,

You’re such an ugly-spirited weasel.

Trump-like rhetoric. “roUnD eM up!” You have no desire to help anybody, just mutilate. Repulsive, violent, and stupid. You’re a right-winger.

Just stay home, okay champ?

Nope.

No one who self diagnosed themself as egalitarian

Oh yeah, those guys, who are everywhere.

It’s a pretty worthless identifier

boo hoo

It’s an economic philosophy.

It’s also about equality generally

not even a political structure

You almost said something intelligent here. Now, what “political structure” are you interested in, beyond murdering people? Because that’s the only thing you violence-fetishists have drooled out so far.

You’re almost starting to form a coherent plan. So far everybody has just said KILL KILL KILL. They had no plan, nor do they want positive outcomes. They just want to mutilate flesh, and they came up with some bullshit to justify it. You have 0.01% more of a brain cell than them.

Violence is your only idea. You’re exactly like them.

Enjoy your violence fetish.
