What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.


In a significant victory for the government, jurors convicted eight defendants on material support for terrorism charges for wearing black clothes to the late-night demonstration. That use of “black bloc” clothing was an antifa tactic that assisted in the shooting of the officer, prosecutors said during their closing arguments.
It had everything to do with the color of their clothes. Did you even read the article?


It’s a great way to kill those products. That’s maybe the only upside.


Welcome to the community :)


As diminou mentioned, do your research before you go down this road. You can also open yourself to DMCA takedowns if you aren’t careful.

It would be better for you to just run a private instance initially. You can use tailscale if you want to be able to access it remotely. That’s the safest way to start out.
Edit: There’s a tutorial here if you are intent on doing it: https://fedfree.org/docs/http/arch-invidious.html


They won’t though. He’ll probably be dead of old age before any of his cases ever come to trial, let alone a verdict. And in any case, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if the next US president (whoever that may be) simply pardons Trump to avoid “alienating voters” or to “ensure domestic peace” or some other bullshit reason. Same sort of shit they pulled with Richard Nixon.


To hold the bastards accountable. People joining the Gestapo dont deserve anonymity. Or safety.


Now you’re talking.


Don’t you mean arrrrrr?


How gauche - a quill and vellum does the exact same job!


Yep, while the UK police are busy throwing anti-genocide protesters into prisons. Definitely not even slightly fascist.


In total, anarchists should uphold the soviet experience, and disprove bourgeois framing of Stalin and the USSR. This weakens bourgeois cultural hegemony, strengthening both anarchist and Marxist movements. I know this was long, but I hope it was at least interesting to read!
I appreciate the interesting read! Just been a bit hectic irl. Personally, I’m sympathetic to the fact that the West has collectively demonized the USSR with propaganda ever since 1917. Objectively, yes, the USSR achieved a lot in a very hostile environment, both military and economic, and they also did a lot of stuff I don’t agree with, but that’s not confined to the Soviets, of course.
I guess I just don’t see the point in the exercise though. You’re never gonna get much traction trying to rehabilitate Stalin, because anti-Soviet propaganda is so deeply ingrained. Like why even fight that fight? You’re gonna hit a brick wall every time, because it’s a “toxic brand” of sorts. Arguing over Stalin’s legacy feels genuinely counterproductive to me, compared to just advocating for community groups, socialism and direct action. I guess we are just coming at the same task from different angles. Thanks for sharing your perspective.


How do you see his critique? Do you think that anarchism cares less about wider social emancipation?
I don’t think it’s accurate. And no, definitely not. It seems like he is describing libertarians more than anarchists imo, as mutual aid and community building are core principles of anarchism.


I suspect for some folks Stalin is bad because […]
For most folks in the west, stalin is considered to be a brutal authoritarian dictator who made a deal with the nazis to carve up europe into spheres of influence. It should not be surprising to anyone that a lot of anarchists hold to that view, especially given stalin’s view of anarchists (see below).
We are not the kind of people who, when the word “anarchism” is mentioned, turn away contemptuously and say with a supercilious wave of the hand: “Why waste time on that, it’s not worth talking about!” We think that such cheap “criticism” is undignified and useless.
Nor are we the kind of people who console themselves with the thought that the Anarchists “have no masses behind them and, therefore, are not so dangerous.” It is not who has a larger or smaller “mass” following today, but the essence of the doctrine that matters. If the “doctrine” of the Anarchists expresses the truth, then it goes without saying that it will certainly hew a path for itself and will rally the masses around itself. If, however, it is unsound and built up on a false foundation, it will not last long and will remain suspended in mid-air. But the unsoundness of anarchism must be proved.
Some people believe that Marxism and anarchism are based on the same principles and that the disagreements between them concern only tactics, so that, in the opinion of these people, it is quite impossible to draw a contrast between these two trends.
This is a great mistake.
We believe that the Anarchists are real enemies of Marxism. Accordingly, we also hold that a real struggle must be waged against real enemies. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the “doctrine” of the Anarchists from beginning to end and weigh it up thoroughly from all aspects.
So if I may ask you a question - if marxism and anarchism are fundamentally enemies, as stalin himself argued, why would any anarchist support the modern day ML penchant for rehabilitating stalin’s reputation? It makes no sense. But sure, keep telling yourself anarchists hate stalin because of his virtues and not because of his other characteristics.


I’m aware. But as stated:
The disengage rule only applies within our instance communities as we can’t enforce it outside. However we urge you to respect the disengage rule when you see it used outside our instance as a positive practice.
I can’t enforce it here but is there any harm in encouraging people to respect it?


Kindly respect the Disengage Rule


Honestly though taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air is probably the sole Trump action I can get on board with. 🤣


It just gives the right a much needed distraction and the illusion of having an excuse to crackdown hard on the left.
"Don’t fight back against Nazis or they’ll get angry and start a crackdown? "
Here another option using wireguard with protonvpn and a docker extension to update the proton port forwarding port.
You would just need to update the volume mounts per your system.
