Watch the world-famous mental gymnast as they attempt to perform a complete mid-air double-backflip while walking the titerope of prescribed ideology!
Wonder in amazement as they spiral ever downward into the pit of whataboutism!
See them engage in direct ad hominem attacks!
Laugh at their foibles as they recite CCP propaganda for your entertainment!
Did you notice that the US was not involved in this conversation at all until @Subdivide6857@midwest.social brought it up? That the US is in fact entirely irrelevant to this discussion of blatant censorship and partisanship on Lemmy.ml?
This is a perfectly clear and obvious example of the whataboutism game that tankies love to play. This user should only be ridiculed for their transparent attempts at distraction and deflection. Otherwise, do not engage.
Yeah, although maybe it's good that they're straightforward? No euphemisms, no pretense.
Er, yes but also this...

Make injections and decapitation quicker and easier with Braintree Scientific's DecapiCones. Tapered plastic film tubes provide quick and easy restraint of rats, mice, and other small animals. I.P. injections can be made directly through the film! DecapiCones restrain post-decapitation kicking and prevent personal contact with feces or urine. A unique dispenser holds DecapiCones open and ready for use. Simply hold the DecapiCone in one hand and introduce the animal with the other. Animals enter readily, heading for the breathing hole at the small end. Roll and squeeze the large end closed. They may be used repeatedly for injections and simply discarded when soiled. For decapitation, hold at the rear and insert the small end into the decapitator.
They come in quantities of 200, in handy pre-loaded dispensers.
Nobody said anything about serfdom.
Communities shouldn’t be able to fail like so.
Communities are always able to fail like so. A division between members can absolutely fracture any kind of social cooperation.
Your average stand-alone commune doesn’t get that much bigger than a family-farm.
This isn't a commune, it's a compound. Or a live/work arrangement. Or just a cult, depending on how "we're all family here" they are.
I wouldn’t encourage too deep an integration between artisans and single communes. Everyone in the commune should know how to make their commune work and who do go to outside the commune when specific tools or expertise are needed beyond their commune’s residents.
This isn't a commune, it's just a town, or a village.
The whole concept of a commune is self-supporting, self-sustaining and to at least some degree self-contained. Also, frequently, self-absorbed.
No one person in a commune should be irreplacable or capable of taking the whole thing down
The smaller the group is the more inevitable this is. At a very small size (less than 20 people), where the group is dependent on itself for food production, then just the loss of basic labor might ruin the group's ability to provide for itself.
in a way that prevents residents from being able to just up and leave.
If everyone just up and leaves, what was even the point of forming a commune? Again, what you're talking about is just a town. A primarily agrarian town maybe, but still just a town.
Well it's less about how you would react individually, and more about how the commune as a whole would deal with the internal division.
In small interdependent groups, social breakdowns can cause the entire community to fail, because every member is an essential part of how the community supports itself and there are no backups for any skill set.
The bus factor problem applies if people start refusing to work with each other.
Trim it by 4 to 5 minutes?
Let me know when you trim it to 4 to 5 minutes.
