The ruling class doesn’t want him martyred but they want him killed so very much.

My bets are he is given a life sentence with a groomed jury and he is extrajudicially executed in prison by an unknown agent.

The bread, ham, and cheese are all separately regulated.

The nuance between open faced sandwich vs closed sandwich comes down to a final product, So think producing prepackaged food for sale as a federally regulated facility, more than making a sandwich in your kitchen.

And at any rate on any functional level it will be your local health jurisdiction that’s really going to get involved if a regulator ever had to.

Drone kill footage is like the reciepts of investment, if not the product itself.

The community is based on fandom of a podcast that champions antagonizing liberals.

They encourage vocally expressing disagreement and disapproval and don’t have downvotes to facilitate that.

This runs counter to most instances that tend to prefer disagreement and disapproval be expressed quietly through downvotes.

So they tend to culture clash.

In the one example with the grocery co-op: I can assure you, few if any, of the people involved with the co-op were Marxist-Leninists, let alone comfortable with Marxism or the ‘S’ word. So that was kind of a critical flaw in any Marxist-Leninist theory in practice.

A lot of people practice forms of community action without having any sort of class consciousness. A wealthy philanthropist can offer a bunch of money with strings attached and people will jump at the promises without second thought and rarely keep up with the follow-through.

Point I was making nonetheless was these operations tend to exist under seige from competing and profiteering interests. If I remember correctly the grocery co-op was having issues making the skyrocketing rent payments for the commercial lot. That was the problem the money solved: the one created by the landlord.

So in a sense I was saying ‘the pressures of capital tend to be too great’ than money being tempting or greed from the community.

They are run out of business, most simply.

The operation that does not focus their profits on building further capital and establishing monopoly will fail in the arms race of those that do.

For example: there are countless community and public efforts establishing childcare and pre-k through pooled resources. They are in direct competition with things like Bezos’ childcare academies. (Personal anecdote: they bought out my kids’ building for public pre-k and evicted them.)

And a successful co-op will get pressure to be bought out like a start-up. (Often starts as a great way to expand! Then the expansion changes the culture, the new location feels corporate and the original location is later shut down and left vacant. -Also personal anecdotes for a grocery co-op and an employee owned operation I once worked at.)

What tends to emerge from the ashes of war and empire.

I am american who opposes the military industrial complex so I tend to be perpetually exposed to news I don’t agree with or support the framing.

I have to work to find news sources I agree with consistently. I often wind up just playing Bingo with CSpan and State Dept press breifings.

She went on some rants about taking offense to the term ‘birthing person’ and got expressly angry that Cenk’s nephew got rich off Twitch so she kinda put out there she’s willing to grift for money. Which sucks.

A functional, coherent working class policy would’ve ticked some of those numbers in the campaign’s favor across the board without even having to divide by race or gender.

Unemployment is typically measured by people seeking unemployment benefits, not by volume of people out of work.

Similarly job creation is usually measured by job offerings and not positions filled.

As a result you can get what has been happening: low unemployment and high job creation where people aren’t getting jobs and jobs aren’t being filled.

Policy-wise it is the same Grand Old Party. The vibe and rhetoric is different, but the policy is mostly all there.

I used to be worried about having to idle on a hill while driving a manual transmission vehicle. Like backsweat.

But I got used to it. Time and practice. You start to see all the subtle motions and patterns; you start to know what you didn’t know you didn’t know.

Now it is just a basic part of the driving experience. It’s a road condition, like weather. Voting, especially in federal elections and especially the general one every four years for president, is not the only or even the main course of politics.

Same story with parallel parking–which would be, I dunno: primary voting in this metaphor. Where the promise of a better way gets crammed between two other poorly parked cars and you always end up a few inches too far from the curb.

I had a former roommate break into being the exciting world of being an e-girl and a friends sibling is an onlyfans performer.

The serious content, when it is made, is usually requested on more private settings. Like personalized videos for the fabulously wealthy/financially incompetant.

some of us would rather only see the half of the conversation

Well I guess the only thing I could possibly say to that woul–

No, but I can almost always check the modlog when a user complains about how their thoughtful, insightful, accurate, and reasonable post or comment was arbitrarily, capriciously, and unjustly removed.

And that comparison rarely disappoints.

I see more content complaining about .ml than I see content on .ml worth complaining about.

I generally don’t block instances, communities, or users, either. I just know I am capable of recognizing a shit take on politics anywhere and can move on without existential or social crisis.

Friends? Sure.

Coworkers? No.

Notably ‘uisce’ is just the word for ‘water’, which tracks.

It might be if there was much effort to establish any tankie ideal beyond a user being registered on .ml. It’s a lot of ‘so you hate waffles’ level of reaction and discourse unfortunately.
