The reason is logistics (as usually the reason for most things military related). You can fit a hell of a lot more conventionally shaped grenades in a crate than you can with stick grenades. Even on a person, conventional grenades weigh less, are less cumbersome, and you can carry more compared to stick grenades. Stick grenades really only have their ease of throwing over a conventional grenade

Exactly. I remember in Conquest of Bread when Kropotkin talked about freeing up more time by automating creative and intelligent pursuits so we can focus more on menial labor.

Paid subreddits? Please tell me you are kidding lol, that is insane. Fuck Spez

It feels like they are getting new photos more often lately. When the scam first started they used the same like two photos a lot. Now it feels like there is multiple new photos just this week.

Exactly what I came to the comments to find out. Thank you random stranger

You're right, we should focus on Lemmy.ml instead.

This was literally used as a way in the south to prevent black people from voting. Yall failed history, maybe you shouldn't vote. Or maybe we should remember laws that restrict rights tend to affect more than their target and will be used in bigoted ways, and so we just shouldn't restrict people's rights and shouldn't give anyone the power to restrict others.

Love how they talk about being anti-sectarian and Hexbear being a place for anarchists despite them enforcing a strict platform that opposes anarchists. God I fucking hate tankies. "Oh you are welcome here as long as you follow our rules to a T and pretty much abandon all of your principles in favor of our authoritarianism."

Hang in there bro, it gets better.

I like it here cause they just made rules against tankie behavior. Yes this has kicked up a lot of dirt as the tankies are kicking and sealioning like they usually do when pushed against. But as an anarchist, I like that they have taken this stance as it makes me feel welcome. They also are cracking down on any sort of bigotry in general which I like that they are making it a safe and welcoming place. Lastly, I think the posts are better (although you might be seeing a lot of pro and anti-tankie posting till the dust settles). I just blocked the lemmy.ml instance cause I am fed up with their bullshit

Good, get the corpos and cops out of Pride. They never velonged there to begin with. Queer liberation, not rainbow capitalism

Me and my friends were literally just making jokes about this tonight and its the first thing I see when I boot up Lemmy

I posted this in my friend's discord server and he gave me "The Role of Shame."

Its not about them being labelled communist, all that matters to them is if they are against the west. Cause apparently only the west can be imperialist

Community defense. It's everyone's responsibility to defend each other, not some centralized police force or military. Plus as others stated, societal change so people are less susceptible to that sort of "charm." Most of the time people fall for warlords, crime bosses, etc cause they prey on those without. When you live in poverty, becoming a rank and file goon for a warlord doesn't sound so bad. But if we built the economy to meet needs rather than profit, and society to give people freedom rather than hierarchy, people would be a lot harder to sway. What really could a warlord give people that they wouldn't have already in an anarchist society? Money? What good would that do in a society that doesn't use it. Power? Well the warlord has all the power, and an anarchist society already gives you full autonomy over yourself. The only thing they could offer is power over others, but in return you give up all your power over yourself to the warlord. Might be able to sway some people with that, but I don't think it would be enough to become a serious threat. And like someone else said, our existing society can't even defend against it. I'd say if this is really what is your make or break for anarchism, then I think you should reevaluate your priorities. You likely can't make a perfect society, so we should be picking the one that meets our needs most. My needs are food, healthcare, housing, and freedom. Anarchism meets those needs better than our current society, and better than any other type of society currently or in the past.

I mean yes there is a sort of "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" dilemma when it comes to working. But just with that dilemma, you don't just give up, you try to minimize your participation as much as you can healthily do. And I think not working for a corp who's sole purpose is to develop weapons for killing people is one of those no brainers.

They're like fascists

That's what the cover is for. The cover is your first impression of a book.
