You mean transphobic solidarity. Both instances are transphobic.

Oh, that’s easy. Ada and Hexbear are both transphobic. She’s a liberal who protects the right of her users to “opt out of politics”, which is not only semantic nonsense, but dangerous rhetoric.

Pronouns as part of usernames is one of the two things Hexbear does right

Shame they’re so transphobic in all other regards

Soulism has been the target of a lot of satire and people who don’t understand it pretending they do. Gravity is a law that nobody consented to, but it’s not high on the soulist agenda. Natural laws we’d rather dismantle include old age, infant mortality, capitalist realism, and what transphobes call “basic biology”. Note that the latter two are very clearly myths, but reactionaries claim they are natural laws. Soulists don’t believe in reality, so we don’t need to draw a semantic distinction between fake natural laws and real ones. We think reality itself is fake.

Except that the word community and the word community both have important uses within the context of Lemmy, so context doesn’t help us.

I don’t like overloading words that much. Too vague.

Think Marxism is scientifically flawed? Think anarchism lacks vision? Think infighting is too much? Then it sounds like you’d agree with soulists.

Soulists follow a scientific paradigm that centers psychology and solves psychological problems of human nature in tandem with what Marx called material problems. We view capitalism and the state as social constructs, building upon intersectional feminist theory and addressing them as problems of propaganda and informational warfare.

We don’t need to have a revolution to start doing praxis. Overthrowing Capital and the state is one of our big goals, but there’s tons we can do to build our society before then, and we’re already doing it. We know exactly what our end goal looks like, because we’ve already done it on a small scale. All we need is to amplify our warfare.

While we have plenty of issues with reactionaries infiltrating the community, our position in these struggles is always to side with the marginalised. Queer, BIPOC, disabled, neurodiverse, etc. If someone has a different perspective than us but still stands with the oppressed, then we stand with them. That’s because we don’t believe in a single reality, so there’s plenty of room for differing views to coexist. It’s common for us to believe in all the gods, of every religion, just to be tolerant of everyone. Of course, we leave behind any exclusionary parts of all religions.

Most of us generally agree with this manifesto explaining soulism: https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/a-soulist-manifesto-4d0456dcb75a

The utopia of Star Trek was only able to happen because they had a WWIII and the communists won

Most people have their attention decided by a combination of biology and social norms, but can learn to direct it themselves. So if you’re really hungry, maybe you can’t stop thinking about a sandwich. But most of the time your boss can tell you to pay attention and you will, and you can mediate and think of nothing with practice.

When you have ADHD, your attention can’t be controlled by social norms, and the biology of your attention is different. And it’s harder to learn to control it yourself. In school, you literally can’t pay attention if you don’t find the subject interesting, it’s too much work. And maybe instead of being hungry and thinking of a sandwich, you’ll go on Wikipedia to learn about the history of snail entomology and end up going 10 hours without food or water. The way your attention moves around is dysregulated. That’s ADHD. Learning to control your attention is an uphill battle, and you’ll never develop a single habit.

And CO2

I never forgot that I had Warframe but I just got back into it after 7 years of not playing and it’s still great.

Bees are a democracy. Sure, they treat outsiders with suspicion and can be radicalised to great violence, but they’re one of the only animals on earth that eats without killing anything, not even a plant. And if they don’t like their queen, they have a revolution. They’re communists.

Israel and Hamas are on the same side. That side is war. They’re both the bad guys. The good guys are the civilians.

You forgot about the third side of the conflict again. The innocent civlians Israel (and Hamas) are killing are the good guys. The two theocratic pro-genocide states are exactly the same and both on the same side. That side is war and death.

If we do that, they’ll still kill unaligned civilians

The problem is very simple. Israel and their neoliberal allies want you to think the only sides are Israel and Hamas. But you and I support the third side, the civilians. You simply have to redefine the argument. You tell them, “I am against Israel. And I’m against Hamas too. I’ve picked my side, and it’s the innocents”.

Israel wants you to think the only two sides in this conflict are Israel and Hamas

There are three sides: Israel, Hamas, and the innocent civilians dying.

I don’t think Pierce is a narcissist. Jeff is the narcisstist. And even if he were, NPD doesn’t make anyone racist.

No ethical way to purchase an animal’s life for use in food.
