If we oppose terrorist acts, it is only because individual revenge does not satisfy us. The account we have to settle with the capitalist system is too great to be presented to some functionary called a minister. To learn to see all the crimes against humanity, all the indignities to which the human body and spirit are subjected, as the twisted outgrowths and expressions of the existing social system, in order to direct all our energies into a collective struggle against this system—that is the direction in which the burning desire for revenge can find its highest moral satisfaction.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex’s price hikes prove I was right to switch to JellyfinEnglish
191·27 days agoI’ve been using Jellyfin for about 4 months as a home media server on an old laptop I installed Debian on and… I have nothing to add to the conversation, I just wanted to brag about that because it works really well and I was afraid I would fuck it up.
Anyway, Plex no good.
What’s more, job interviews are poor predictors of job performance, so even those who are experienced with judging people in higher context settings are not so great at judging people.

Technology@lemmy.world•Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This FirstEnglish
0·5 months agoThis might be relevant for following ICE around or direct action, but at this point there’s almost zero personal risk from attending something like a rally or a march.
My relatives and even friends my age are afraid to go to protests. They read stuff like this, and it acts as demobilization messaging. In my experience, once you get them to go once they’re no longer afraid to engage, but there’s an initial fear and anticipatory obedience that has to be overcome.
inb4 protests do nothing: getting people to stick their toe in the water helps build commitment that will one day be necessary to gain critical mass for more organized disobedience.

The two answers you see for the question of who should rule are moderates or fascists? Why don’t we “shake things up” by intentionally putting the fascists in the bin?
