Mamdani should fire everyone in the NYPD and replace them with loyalists

What is a good way to capture video and immediately upload it to a server where evidence can't be destroyed if deleted locally? I remember that apps like this popped up around one of the first iterations of BLM uprisings circa 2015, but I dont know if they still exist.

Live streams to social media platforms aren't a replacement either, since those companies are controlled and are complicit with fascism.

I'm an engineer and could probably whip something up but I'm such a shitty one that just my luck, the upload would fail at a critical moment due to bugs lol

“You’re not a Jew” in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

Thanks for this post. This used to sting for me, especially since I am a convert and very visibly so.

But once I saw all the born Jews who were antizionists get the same harassment I was like oh y'all are completely full of shit and just call people fake Jews to rationalize your own support for genocide. Same shit that other chuds do to discredit, calling people "white knights" or "virtue signalers".

It's so ghoulish to believe that people who want a better world are obviously lying, and it exposes the nihlist and brutal worldview these people have and how they justify their fucked up beliefs to try to make them seem normal.

The problem isn't "modern capitalism", it's capitalism. Period

[–] TheDeed@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Maybe a combo of

  1. The artist, Anne-Louis Girodet, has been speculated to be what we would consider nowadays as gay. He is known for erotic/sensual elements of male figures, including nudity in a lot of his work
  2. A long time form of racism against black men is that they are considered to be hypersexual. Large penises are attributed to them, evoking "savagery" - the ancient Greeks idealized the small penis. This form of racism persists to this day.

I always decline. I am an American citizen so there seems to be no immediate consequences to declining so far. For now.

There's no way a black person would commit suicide in that manner.

I rarely use reddit as it is but I'll be damned if I gotta scan my eye to use it, LMFAO. What kind of goober would do that? I'd log off of it forever.

I have the opportunity to pitch a book at my leftist book club. What is a book to help counter anti-ML attitudes from people who lean more anarchist and/or have a strong opposition to Lenin/Stalin? (hexbear.net)
 

My circles tend to be very anti Lenin or anti Stalin, most of them are anarchists or left leaning people who have a pretty strong opposition to MLs. I would like to have a dialogue with them or least give them some tools so that they can have a good background with which to critique ML even if they don't change their mind and become MLs.

Bonus if it includes info about the Bund in relation to Lenin & the Bolsheviks or information about Jews in the Soviet Union or ML Jews in general - most of us are Jewish, and a lot of strong opposition is rooted in the Jewish experience of those eras and strong emotional and ideological affinity to the legacy of the Bund.

These don't quite cover the Jewish experience as much but, some books or articles top of my mind for at least countering anticommunism are:

  • Western Marxism Loves Purity and Martyrdom, But Not Real Revolution
  • Blackshirts and Reds

Would love to hear yalls thoughts.

What's a good way to tell people who ask for my contact info that I don't do social media without sounding unintentionally condescending? (hexbear.net)
 

Sometimes people I just met (in a platonic context) will ask me things like "hey, what's your Instagram, let's keep in touch!"

My standard answer is that I don't do social media, but I have found that people take it as bragging perhaps? I get answers like "oh, good for you! I wish I didn't" or whatever.

If I say oh here's my number that seems too odd these days, people not that much younger than me (I'm 31) don't seem to text anymore. They use fb messenger or Instagram or others.

Also saying something like "I'm a privacy advocate and I use the fediverse" is also an odd thing to say unless I'm around techy people and even then it's weird tbh.

How do I approach this? I don't think I am better than people that use social media, its just not for me. I would prefer to text but I am not sure that works for a lot of people.

Or should I just bite the bullet and get an Instagram so that I don't seem weird, and then perhaps ask for further contact details via that platform?

Abstaining from social media can be extremely alienating.

autistic btw if you couldn't tell lmao, I have spent a lot of time thinking about this problem

There's a spectre haunting the fediverse (hexbear.net)
 

I created my own lemmy instance a while back so I could browse lemmygrad + other instances because libs automatically defederate from lemmygrad.

I remember when Hexbear started as a wee fork of lemmy and there were plans to federate in the future, and look at us now! Makes me happy to see people on lemmy dunking on libs and even changing a few bystander's minds. trans-specter specter Shoutout to the devs here, y'all rock. I love the qol updates like pronouns and emojis that we've had for years that beat out stock standard lemmy.

Anyway, love y'all.

p.s. But now I'm thinking maybe I should just nuke my instance and use hexbear exclusively? soviet-hmm it's kinda useless now lol
