Cope harder lmao

A dying empire doing everything it can to delay the inevitable. We really are watching the beginning of the end of the US hegemony aren’t we?

Fucking up microsoft is always good

That’s why the “should be” I guess, though that’s not to say there aren’t idiots (right in this thread too) actually shilling for this.

If current open source licenses still have flaws like this, we’re gonna need new ones.

Yeah I’m sure the maintainers are in talks with Putin directly

This sets such a bad precedent…

Yeah the kernel might end up being forked if this shit keeps going. Sanctions affecting open source software like this was not something I expected…

Free as in… obeys US foreign policy

Accept your fate. VIM is love. VIM is life.

Damn I have a Kobo and didn’t know this. Will definitely be doing this

At this rate we might just see the Year of the Linux Desktop^TM on our deathbeds!

Rojava is a decentralized capitalist region with no plans of being socialist/anarchist/etc whose leadership allows the US to use it as a imperialist proxy in the region. Of course the US likes that lmao; the US National Security Council calls it another “israel” in the region.

The Zapatistas are cool comrades who fought off the US and other capitalist forces as all socialist projects have to. Different from most successful socialist revolutions in that it didn’t establish a state (though it was managed centrally by the EZLN), but it has succumbed to pressure from the government and cartels and dissolved last year.

Cuba be SocDem, as was the original intent of the revolutionaries

“Social democracy” back then just meant socialism. The Bolsheviks who established the USSR were also “social democrats”

And your fantasies of the US ever letting a US-backed military dictatorship be overthrown and develop are funny, specially when it’s currently committing a genocide in Palestine and not even letting them get rid of a western colony.

All states are inherently “authoritarian” and enforce certain principles over others. What matters is if those principles materially prioritize workers over capitalists, which socialist states do.

You can’t create a stateless, classless communist society from capitalism without a transitional socialist state that breaks the monopoly on force and propaganda that capitalist states have — specially in a world ruled by capitalist superpowers like the US which constantly coups and invades non-capitalist states. Thinking otherwise is just naive and utopian.

No non-capitalist state will survive in the modern world if they don’t sufficiently get rid of propaganda and deal with capitalist funded insurgencies, which capitalist states will label as “authoritarian”; they’d immediately be coup’d and overthrown by imperial core countries, as many socialist states have (Chile, Libya, etc).

Used to mean someone who would support sending in tanks to crush capitalist rallies like in Hungary, but nowadays it’s just an anti-communist term for anyone that supports any socialist movement that has successfully built a socialist nation.

The US is so close to becoming full-on fascist that people there are starting to associate liberals of all people with the left

No communist, anarchist, or anyone lefty in general would ban a piracy community — short of getting in legal trouble or something, which is not what happened here.

Probably just using Texas_Hangover’s lack of logic against them

Nah I wouldn’t want Lemmy to attract anti-piracy bootlickers (specially considering why we left Reddit for Lemmy in the first place). This being the largest community is a good filter imo.

You’re thinking of alot of the .world users lol denying the current genocide in Palestine
