People in 2020: "We have to vote for Biden so we can push him left once he's in office."

Me in 2023: "If Biden doesn't move to the left of openly supporting genocide in Palestine, I won't feel comfortable voting for him."

Those same people: "No that's not allowed."

@MoBlack Those people will tell women/ immigrants/ queer folk etc. you must keep voting Biden for harm reduction but Palestinians must completely disvow hamas because of their violence and homophobia. Biden deserves unconditional support but hamas does not even deserve critical support.

Every time there's a flare up in Palestine I'm reminded that most of my fellow anarchists are pussy pacifist lifestylist marshmallow people who couldn't organize a reading group, let alone a revolution

@MoBlack Careful Mo. Some purplewashers might accuse you of toxic masculinity.

If you are an American and you are shocked and horrified by Hamas bombing targets next to civilian centers, making arrests as they see fit, and so on, boy do I have news for you in terms of what your tax dollars allow the Israeli military to do every single day :)

I guess today is time for our yearly reminder that the number of people the United States killed in response to 9/11 dwarfs the number of people killed in 9/11

    Should any blank counters be included for the to be considered complete? I think so.

    Why not take it the next logical step and include the empty countersheet sprues and counter clippings too!

    Bonus Grognard points for putting the counter clippings in a baggie or counter tray.

    @BoardGameBloke I suppose the sprues can help with counting each part. "One token, two tokens..."

    Is anyone else in the “trough of disillusionment” part of the Generative AI hype cycle yet? The stuff they output is not good. It takes longer to fix it than writing articles from scratch, IMHO.

    Maybe it's a function of caring about the results.

    @MoBlack What would be your reply to the AI-hypers that use the 'it's not AI it's capitalism' argument? Would it be useful to ask them how ai implementation would look like under communism/ socialism/ anarchism?

    If I wasn’t mad at the politicians for Singapore for their homophobia, transphobia and hypocritical morality, I would be okay with them having affairs because I really don’t care. But they’ve said that queer people are morally deficient, so I think it’s fair game to say they don’t live up to their own standard

    But also, skeptical enough to know this is probably political theatre (both parties are disciplining leadership for affairs)
