Haz Al-Din cooked up this theory that the real proletariat is farm owners.

amazing, they're literally reconstructing the jeffersonian mythology of the yeoman farmer, updated to the modern day and cloaked in misused marxist terminology

yeah, they're running short on munitions right now (what with arming fascists in ukraine and israel for the last few years), so that's all they could spare right now.

'round these parts, we call that the Texas Top Hat

here is a partial critique i read of whipping girl many years ago which has stuck with me Deconstructing Whipping Girl By b. binaohan

these issues that you highlight seem strongly tied to Serano's bioessentialist understanding of gender, which (iirc) is whatever in-born tendencies that you have one way or another. once you start trying to find gender in biology, you quickly end up reproducing the biologization of gender that is the basis of modern era misogyny because gender was one of the driving ideologies that shaped the biological study in the first place.

once you make that connection, it becomes more clear where the "binary-phobia" stuff comes from. it's literally just a reformulation of colonial era justification of eradicating native genders that the colonizers didn't like. and to get out ahead of the obvious misreading, white non-binary people in the US/europe are not colonized. capital would just generally prefer to be able to easily sort everyone into 2 easily distinguishable categories with pre-defined social positions.

from what that link says, it sounds like the rule was made mostly to get around employers saying "this part of your paycheck is a bonus, not a wage, so it's exempt from the time and a half rule"

i've only been playing factorio lately. this is my current seablock map. trying to get the train based city blocks going. i've got basic resources going and about to start science blocks.

i'm talking about trying to break a habit that you find negative in your life, and some specific things that can help with that, not saying that you should do these things on this site.

I'm doing it out of deep self loathing

yeah, that's why we're here

monads.online and octodon.social are also not precisely ML, but they are broadly compatible

leaving aside for a moment whether the state is actually a specific form of political organization, i don't know where you are that you are finding anarchists that are specifically and only against that. every single one i have talked to in my years of left leaning organizing have been against the state as a particularly bad example of some overarching principle, such as authority or hierarchy.

anarchism is a committed opposition to a specific form of political organization

which one?
