Well yeah, former socialist Mussolini created his new socialism with blackjack and hookers so he had to come up with reasons why his socialism totes isn't like their socialism.

Nobody hates socialists more than other, different socialists.
The Trotskyites and Stalinists are both unquestionably socialist, but all Trotskyites were executed by the Stalinists.
The "two minutes of hate" against Emmanuel Goldstein in George Orwell's 1984 was specifically based on the intense hatred of Trotskyites by Stalinists.
Therefore, the argument that fascists couldn't be socialist because they hate other socialists is a bad argument.

I might end up hating his policies, but he's on point in a couple important ways. At least he has a thought in his head.
Mobian is a third party mobile operating system that supports a desktop telegram app for linux, but mobile Linux isn't really something I'd recommend for someone who is happily in the apple ecosystem.
With the wga strike, I have a great idea!
They can really pwn the media companies by making something really unique and original, like a story about how Donald Trump and Brexit and gameegate are bad!
CEOs and AI could never come up with content like that!!

"It's great! I have no money because everything I need to live is more expensive, but 3 times a year they send me money I needed 365 times a year!"
Surprisingly, while I agree that energy isn't infinite and we need to be smart about the future, energy use does have the potential to go down. Per capita energy use peaked in the 1970s and has been either going sideways or slowly dropping since, and the energy required for a unit of economic input has also been dropping. This all makes sense since we're constantly finding more efficient ways to use energy.
The slow march of efficiency reminds me of the story of the 4 minute mile: It was believed forever that human beings simply were not capable of running a mile in 4 minutes. Over time, however, training methods improved, material science improved, dietary science improved, and today a 4 minute mile isn't the height of human achievement, it's achievable by relatively normal athletes.
It seems to me that the state keeps trying to do the equivalent of loading a runner up with cocaine thinking that they just need to give a bit more cocaine and they'll hit that mark when continuous improvements adding up over time will be more effective.

rss feed support in friendica is still one of the top tier features of that platform.
Even though it doesn't fully support every feature, Matrix Conduit is so lightweight I can't justify using even Matrix Dendrite, so I'd recommend people look at it at least as an option. Just keep the new signups off and create new users individually or you'll end up a nest of bots.
Many IRC rooms on liberachat are mirrored on Matrix which is really nice. I used to love IRC, but I don't have just one base of operations anymore where I can have an IRC client sitting open, so having element running on a few devices and I can interact when I have a few minutes is really nice.

Isn't reason a libertarian rag?
Maybe the governments around the world should fuck off and let nature take it's course. Yeah, GDP shrinks and so on and so forth when birth rates fall, but there's also big benefits to having fewer people -- and arguably benefits that end up self-correcting the problem such as increased liberty and value for individuals.
No wonder the state fears a falling population, they've been stealing from us for 100 years and at this rate we might actually be in charge of our homes again.

The same corpos using nostalgia to try to sell the past back to us are the ones who destroyed the things that used to be good in the first place. If they were capable of not breaking it then they would have.
Ah, I remember seeing something like that because I generally prefer dark mode (and I like my dark modes black)
