All of human political activity boils down to violence. If pacifism were a legitimate strategy then we wouldn’t be in our current situation.

True! Forgot about that. I think voyager had a few episodes with hunted game of some sort. The Klingons in general too. Guess actually trek isn’t super big on veganism haha
They have food replicators. The only thing not vegan about replicated meat is that they’d probably use your poop as bulk material to synthesize stuff
It’s an edible putty made from sugar, water, corn syrup and, depending on the recipe, glycerin or gelatin. It’s Satan’s taffy
I really like startpage, but I’m pretty sure it’s just Google with some tweaks
I thought kiwis were more tame than aussies
Seconded for mobilism. It’s pretty good
That’s so art deco
Sounds like they need to dream bigger and work harder on some decent quotes
He’s still relatively old as fuck. If you can collect social security you shouldn’t be running a country
We’ve been completely reduced to revenue streams for those that already have unimaginable wealth and it’s killing us. The transparent abuse and exploitation is so beyond parody it wraps around to sounding like a joke. Then you realize it isn’t a joke and get more depressed
Done and done, thank you for the warm reception.
I run arch mint btw
Good to know, I’ll be careful not to indulge too much! Though I did it proper with a Thinkpad as well so I may overdose anyway haha
I’ve only been using Linux for a few days. Am I allowed to have a superiority complex yet?
Don’t worry, I had a bit too much to drink last night so it’s covered
The bellingcat article mentions that the UAE may extradite kinahan sr soon. I imagine he’s been able to put it off this long because money and connections. Just like every other rich fuck
Outside of the odd troll here and there, fascism isn’t a huge problem (at least on lemmy). Exploding heads died in like a week and you haven’t really seen any popular resurgence of far right politics here since. Can’t speak for the rest of the fediverse but lemmy seems to have carved out a semi-comfy niche for itself
Meh. Tankies>fascists
Pacifism is an ideology centered on political change through nonviolence. Maybe you didn’t explicitly say it, but you might as well have. Can you provide a source on violence being a result of political breakdown and not intrinsic to politics itself? How do current regimes uphold their power?
Politics is, more or less, how decisions are made in groups. Making a decision doesn’t preclude violence. Wars are political and their entire point is violence. Colonialism was foundational to the politics of the last 3+ centuries and it was incredibly violent. Besides vibes, what evidence do you have to support the claim that politics aren’t violent?
