The nazis famously sent unionizers and socialists to the camps. They even started an anti communist pact.

Fascists combine socialist ideas with racism and nationalism

They really don't. They just steal some of our rhetoric

Deeply tragic

Smart lights did wonders for me! Specifically having them slowly turn on to wake me up without alarms has been very nice. Provided I went to bed early enough it makes waking up very gentle and automatic. I only still use alarms just in case the light somehow doesn't wake me

Edit: ah, but that might not help with falling asleep, but might help you maintain your schedule in the long run. Having automation turn your lights off when you're supposed to go to sleep might do something, so long as you are also good at not looking at bright screens prior to going to bed.

haha, I love this. Would these flags work (on paper) in other areas in the US where pride flags are banned? Surely other states and cities can't ban city flags

No. They're all tankies or okay with tankies, which is more or less being a tankie. I recognize some of these users and many of them literally don't believe in democracy and do stuff like defend the USSR etc. No leftist infighting here as usual, just people trying to push us to support their shitty little military regimes.

Don't the people you block still see your posts?

We should genuinely be banning all tankies and accelerationists on sight. Allowing them to poison the debate to the extent they do really is our greatest flaw and the only real "leftist infighting" I've ever really come across.

Pretty sure leftist infighting is just a tankie dogwhistle at this point.

Many of these people legitimately hold these views. I have a friend who is absolutely a socialist who is still very much in favor of my country not aiding Ukraine as it would support "imperialism" in his eyes. My impression is that he and those like him are unwilling to ever compromise on any ideal they hold, even if it means not supporting any position whatsoever. Like you can debate him as much as you want about whether or not aiding Ukraine in any capacity is imperialism or not, but at the end of the day his main concern is not contributing to something he perceives as evil.

That said, I do agree that many of these people aren't being genuine. I sometimes wonder if he's secretly an accelerationist or something. Many people that use the same talking points as him online certainly are, rather than fascists trying to take us down from the inside.

Rams that behave like ewes

Of course they don't have gender identities, but this sounds a bit familiar to some of my own experiences.

Fuck disney

Shaming the platform is a great way to make fence sitters leave, even those that are "good-faith-neither-left-nor-right-people-who-always-strangely-support-the-right”" that don't want to come of as that kind of person will leave if staying there makes you look bad. KKK fell apart partially because of a shaming campaign if I remember correctly.
