I visited a 17,000 year old cave painting site in France, and the whole walk into the cave there are modern day graffiti signatures like "Bob, 1992" etc. but then you start to notice that the years go back further and further...1827...1761...1597. Then you get to the old cave art and it kind of feels like a continuation of the same shit, just some people leaving their scribbles on a rock like they have been probably since they discovered how to do it.

Just want to say here that regardless of the political benefits that can be obtained with violence, I do think all lives matter including Nazis, and I think most people can be convinced of this if they can be shown how similar all our experiences are. It seems like once you realize that a Nazi is essentially a version of yourself with slightly different psychological pressures, you can realize that, as painful as it may be, they are human, and your desire for humans not to suffer extends to them. Realizing this doesn't preclude instrumental violence against them, but it can prevent the feeling of hatred.

I've never seen Haskell used, but it looks the most readable. I would consider using it if I didn't think it would piss off other devs.

It's possible that there are multiple consciousnesses within a single person, and when each of them reads this post, they all think it refers to them. "You" are just one of the consciousnesses, thinking you are the main one. Or maybe you think it refers to you, but another consciousness in the same body is aware of itself as well as you and laughing at your ignorance.

I don't run Lemmy, although the creators are Marxist-Leninists, I believe. My youtube channel is mainly anarchist stuff. If you're offended by the Communist Manifesto, maybe you should give it a listen, you might find you were offended by the wrong things.

I have been seriously thinking of attempting to transplanting to Switzerland for this reason

Could you elaborate

I'm curious whether you have read any of Orwell's essays on Socialism and Marxism? He was critical of Marxists mainly in that he felt they were too academic and out of touch, but he agreed with their fundamental goals. He fought alongside Marxists in the Spanish Civil War. A place to start would be The Road to Wiggen Pier.

I don't know what you are referring to. I think you might have read some anti-trotskyist propaganda.

 

Long thought impossible, O-Boot has proved that vacuum levitation is possible using complex carbon structures. This allows for something like a dirigible based not on lighter-than-air gas, but rather via creating a true vacuum. They plan to build an airship for eco-friendly transportation, and are committed not to allow access by militaries.

This project seems to have flown under the radar, with a crowdfunding campaign apparently failing some time ago. I would love to see the project come to fruition. My mind is wild with the possibilities of vacuum levitation. The size of the object required appears to be very small in comparison with gas-based dirigibles.
