    The man’s talking about class differences in general though. Pretty sure those predate us apes even knowing there were other different colored troops.

    Either way it kind of feels like a bit of a chicken and egg discussion. Were we hierarchical animals first, then leveraged arbitrary and irrelevant traits to enforce that hierarchy, or vice versa.

    To me it’s really simple. You adress class issues -> you adress “culture war” issues (those disproportionally impacted get disproportionately addressed, as they should be). You address “culture war” issues -> shitshow ensues.

    I know what I’m gonna focus on.





  • Truth be told, once I made myself live without extensions for a week, I realized I never needed them in the first place. Gnome has a way of making you discover a slightly different way of doing the same thing that in hindsight just works better with the overall system than an extension would.

    But to each their own…

    Not missing it, just not addressing it. The topic wasn’t of particular interest from that angle. Not to me anyway.

    It’s not that I dislike the word liberated, it’s that it’s completely inaccurate in this case, and those kinds of inaccuracies do have consequences, however slight at first.

    Defeated is a good word. Invaded is another. Liberated isn’t.


  • Let’s get one thing straight, Germany was not liberated, it was defeated.

    Of course we can say not all… But that’s a sociological tautology.

    It’s exactly this kind of west = good silent premise that’s making us miss what’s beginning to brew over there again now that things are getting tough. Just like it did last time.

    I’m not saying Germans are evil, but we need to be careful with this kind of subtle revisionism. I suspect you didn’t even say it intentionally - it’s just a phrase that’s often used around you, and that’s what makes it doubly dangerous.

    Nothing against you man, I’m just a tad disenchanted with the current state of things is all.



  • Personally I think communities should be tags - lobste.rs style. You would have tag mods determining whether a tag belongs or doesn’t, and it’ll increase participation in the comments since everone interested in the post will be discussing it in the same place (nifty, as lemmy is still growing). Cross-posting always felt like a bolt-on solution. It also addresse the issue of cross-instance content preservation in case of outage better
