I’m curious. In this context, what are “whites”? Are Jewish people not white now or something? Or does “white” mean something else to him?

I want to talk about trains.

All locked down here in South Portland, which is about 50 minutes or so from Lewiston.

No. There was a youth league Wednesday, though.

Stop all the hate for nuclear. It’s just a way for the fossil fuel industry to cause infighting among those of us who care about the climate. If we can make energy free or close to it, we should. The closer everything comes to being free the better.

sure is, bub

interesting. I wonder whether that’s specific to the mobile hardware. I have a 3080 running just fine on Mint.

Your mom would do just fine on Mint, and you know it.

I was only trying to point out that there is no political left in America. I wasn’t trying to hurt your feelings.

I just want to point out that the Democratic party is also full of fascists. The two-party political system is just a smoke and mirrors act. The rich still get richer and the poor still get poorer, even when Democrats are in charge. (Take the present, for instance.)

And, sure, I know it’s popular to say that the Democrats aren’t as bad. That doesn’t mean they’re good or that they should be lauded for simply not being Republicans.

Or, please, trains.

There is an essentially immeasurable difference between support for anarchy and support for coercive power structures. Marxist-Leninists hope to exchange one coercive power structure for another. It is little different from the imperialism it would hope to supplant. Piracy belongs to anarchy, not Marxism.

Right. So, I don’t get why it should matter where, exactly, the bar of soap goes.

Isn’t the soap that touches the body ablated by friction with the skin?

It’s a bit of a mixed bag. I do enjoy Lemmy. I think that the conversations that take place here are interesting (though many now revolve around Reddit in one way or another). I don’t really find the front page to be as good as Reddit’s.

And then, of course, I think the most important difference is that Lemmy draws a specific type of person, even after the Reddit migration, and there aren’t as many of us as there are average Internet users. I’m not saying Lemmings are a special breed; rather, I’m saying that we’re the sort of people who might have used Usenet at its peak. We’re the sort who might be Linux users. Many of us are morally aligned with open source technology and the ethics thereof. This makes the discussions a little less diverse on Lemmy than they are on Reddit (which can be good and bad, depending on the sort of conversation).
