Oh man I am not liking this Reddit exodus

Hearing libertarian leftists mention the Spanish Civil War and explain it as "the Soviets betraying anarchists" to justify their beliefs, as someone who actually had it in his school curriculum, is a level of pain that I wish to no one. No mention of their war industry mismanagement, no mention of their botched justice system, no mention of their military ineptitude at the Aragon front and most importantly, no mention of the actions of nonchalant sabotage against the broader Republican front (the real force against fascism) that led to the May Days of 1937.

Fantasizing about a romantisized picture of brave anarchist freedom fighters being stabbed with a dagger in the back by the devilish tankies dressing in cloaks is and will always be more adequate than picking up a book and actually learning about their movement's past, be it with Catalonia, with Makhno's Ukraine or absolutely anywhere else.

The fun part of it is that, because of it, you always have the chance of catching anarchists by surprise by showing them their own history and seeing them not knowing what to do. Next time you find one searching for trouble, ask them about Makhno's history with Mennonites.

I really liked the Reddit protest the last few days. Only a few of my niche subs were still active and I liked the content I saw. It was so peaceful and quiet. Sadly a lot of the other subs came back on (peak Reddit 'activism', btw) so I left the app again.

Xi turns 70 today 🍾

Best wishes for him

Looks like we can add "blahaj zone" instance to the likes of sopuli and beehaw. As in "gits, who come here and comment with lib takes"

This reddit exidus is starting to get a little old. I do not think I have seen this many liberals in the grad for quite some time

I leave for 3 days and I see that we've exploded in new, liberal users.

A while ago I posted how a Belgian province declared the strike ban issued by Delhaize Supermarkets illegal, and how the employees who had been striking for weeks were in the right. Today, a second province joined this decision to declare the ban illegal as well. It seems that this is going to happen in every province and that Delhaize is taking a massive L.

This is a huge win for the working class, and strikes will probably continue soon.

downvoted for speaking truth lmao. the orange site

I couldn't reply to message in a community outside of Lemmy/lemmygradand was so confused... Till I found our you can check modlogs and WOW there are a lot of people in that modlog blanketly banning "tankies". I'm actually upset I got banned for being a "borderline" tankie. Dang it I wanted the full tankie ban what is this shit.

My landlord just increased rent smh 😤 so we'll bounce to a cheaper place. It's not that we can't afford it anymore but the place has some issues, and his new monthly rent feels like an insult.

Any good books on the white terror period?

Pro-tip: Never look at an old man browsing history, youtube feed, etc....

Comrades, can you recommend me a decent RSS reader that is available on Android and Desktop (preferably Windows)?

My news sources are a hodgepodge of different social media sites atm which is impossible to maintain, to have an overview and actually know what I've read when. All the ads, the algorithms and the constant stream of irrelevant internet-drama spamming my feeds aren't helping either.

After like 37 days of drought some drops of rain managed to fall today. Eat that, climate woke terrorists!!

I was added to the lemmy maintainers private matrix chat. Shit is getting real.

LEOPARD TANKS ARE FUCKING SHIT LMAO AAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA

Daily reminder to go and read theory.

Last week eastern North America was plagued by smoke for multiple days thanks to forest fires in Canada. Anyone who thought the west would be free from the environmental crisis, so they could keep on polluting was wrong.

I hope you all have a great week :D
