as an anarchist ive never understood why some anarchists are so vehemently against voting. like obviously were not going to vote our way into anarchy but most of them seem to think that participating in liberal electoralism somehow gives the incoming government a kind of mystical power over you, but isnt that just believing in the liberal myth of voting as conferring legitimacy on a government? like its just a vote, it doesnt matter beyond what it does. surely you just use it to try to make things less bad (if thats an option) and then go back to doing whatever anarchist stuff you were doing before?

It's so wack seeing the flags up here in the northern ass PNW. Like at least back down south there was at least the THINNEST defense of southern pride, and there was a chance someone flying that flag was incidentally racist rather than explicitly racist. If you flyin that shit up here you HATE black people.
Y'all jesus fucking christ. If you wanna compare yinglet type to AAVE you're not allowed to say based anymore. Straight up.
"join our discord" is the new "pinterest result on google." anti-information. your pursuit ends here. facts will not be found today. it's like if you asked someone on the street what time it was and they said "come into my church and take communion and I'll tell you"
discord is an organized, focused, hell-bent project to ensure that no! information ever! gets accidentally preserved. the purpose of a system is what it does, so discord's purpose is to lose things. "everything anyone has ever said on a topic" is the goal but they take what they can get
it used to be terrifying when the support / faq / help link on a website went to a forum. then they started going to wikis, and we all turned around and screamed at springy the spring sprite to take it back, we didn't mean it. we love zinc.
then they turned into discord links, and when we looked back at springy, we saw only satan
it's just an incredible one-two-three punch of "did you just tell me to go fuck myself?"
because you get part A: "almost everything we've ever said about our software project is in, basically, a 10 gigabyte text file spanning 8 years of conversations, many off-topic. here's a fulltext search. it replaces near-homonyms, so your search for the exact keyword 'CLOUT' will be silently altered to 'CLOUD'."
and part B: "you can't even look at it without loading it up in a separate program, possibly getting punted into a Welcome To Our Server process, having everyone on the server see your name (hope you weren't investigating something made by people who hate you!) and then having four people @ you the millisecond you join with generic welcomes (hope you don't have social anxiety!)"
and then part C: "if you gather up the courage to actually ask us for help after the fulltext search fails, we will insult you until you cry, even if you don't have social anxiety."
