The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit; it is the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae.

The pineapple is native to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries. The introduction of the pineapple plant to Europe in the 17th century made it a significant cultural icon of luxury. Since the 1820s, pineapple has been commercially grown in greenhouses and many tropical plantations. The fruit, particularly its juice, has diverse uses in cuisines and desserts.

Pineapples grow as a small shrub; the individual flowers of the unpollinated plant fuse to form a multiple fruit. The plant normally propagates from the offset produced at the top of the fruit or from a side shoot, and typically matures within a year.

I kinda always felt like we were trying to dialectical use poor taste to critique neoliberal culture and to attempt to toughen ours souls to the required level to support the level of conflict required to maintain a revolutionary spirit.

Part of that being creating care and love for each other as comrades to endure the harsh reality of the world.

So I feel like there is a grey area in our culture where that synthesis can lead to hurt feelings. I have been thinking about it. Do you feel there is a place for a more structured reconciliation process here?

    Hard to say. I always saw things differently, but I also never engaged in the debate nonsense. That kept me from being exposed to a lot of things. So perhaps I'm missing some parts of the whole just from my own personal perspective. I still think guiding the community with empathy would be the safest, most proper way forward for such a diverse community.

    Do you feel there is a place for a more structured reconciliation process here?

    In what regard exactly? If it's just getting people to self crit, there's a comm for that already. Doesn't get used all that often.
