I mean it doesn’t seem like too big an ask to require the country you’re arming not to do slavery. If they want the weapons that badly I’m sure it will work.

I won’t argue against the idea of sending aid to Ukraine on principle, but I will just mention a few considerations:

1. Ukraine relies on conscription. Men are being arrested off the street to join the front lines. Millions of men have fled the country, and are now being hunted down in the places they fled to src. In supporting Ukraine’s military, the US and EU allies are inadvertently supporting military slavery.
2. The Ukrainian government has a corruption issue, and it is likely that a lot of the aid being sent is being embezzled. src 1 src 2

Point 1 could be rectified by conditioning aid on reversing the draft. Point 2 may be more difficult to address.

Just want to say here that regardless of the political benefits that can be obtained with violence, I do think all lives matter including Nazis, and I think most people can be convinced of this if they can be shown how similar all our experiences are. It seems like once you realize that a Nazi is essentially a version of yourself with slightly different psychological pressures, you can realize that, as painful as it may be, they are human, and your desire for humans not to suffer extends to them. Realizing this doesn’t preclude instrumental violence against them, but it can prevent the feeling of hatred.

I’ve never seen Haskell used, but it looks the most readable. I would consider using it if I didn’t think it would piss off other devs.

For anyone who’s interested, Holochain solves this problem while fulfilling the decentralization promises of Blockchain.

It’s possible that there are multiple consciousnesses within a single person, and when each of them reads this post, they all think it refers to them. “You” are just one of the consciousnesses, thinking you are the main one. Or maybe you think it refers to you, but another consciousness in the same body is aware of itself as well as you and laughing at your ignorance.

No worries, there is truth in your joke anyway.

I don’t run Lemmy nor am I a tankie, although the creators are Marxist-Leninists, I believe. My youtube channel is mainly anarchist stuff. If you’re offended by the Communist Manifesto, maybe you should give it a listen, you might find you were offended by the wrong things.

Someday I would like to see a website with an oval, rather than a rectangular web design. No particular practical reason I can think of other than it would be really cool. The html/css would be difficult, might have to use svgs.

You can still download it

The terrain makes it hard to invade

I have been seriously thinking of attempting to transplanting to Switzerland for this reason

Could you elaborate

I was trying to reply to the original comment not yours.

I’m curious whether you have read any of Orwell’s essays on Socialism and Marxism? He was critical of Marxists mainly in that he felt they were too academic and out of touch, but he agreed with their fundamental goals. He fought alongside Marxists in the Spanish Civil War. A place to start would be The Road to Wiggen Pier.

I don’t know what you are referring to. I think you might have read some anti-trotskyist propaganda.
