Engaging in electoralism legitimizes involuntary government

Lol are you paying attention

@smiletolerantly@awful.systems was one of the people of all time issthtt

Idk that’s definitely a spectrum. E.g., abolishing prisons, police, ICE, etc increases freedom

Lmao, is this meant to be dunking on people who memed the kirk killing?

whoever happens to be in the house at the moment

I know that this is probably about roommates or family members, but I like to imagine you leave your door open and yell these sorts of questions at whoever might wander in

(SPEAK UP MOTHERFUCKER)

Fantastic, thanks!

I’m trying to find a word that I can use in contexts like, e.g., “As an anarchist, I don’t agree with ____s.” I can’t do that with socialists and communists because I do jive with libertarian socialists and anarcho-communists. I suppose the only safe option is to just be specific and say Marxists/Maoists/etc, but I was hoping there’d be a word to describe the “archist” component of these ideologies that I don’t vibe with without having to get so specific.

Can we just steal “archists” back? Lol (From Marsden, I mean)

Yeah, I’m familiar with this argument, I just don’t agree with the way you’re using the word (and tbh I don’t think it’s worth arguing over- I just want a better word to use to avoid having to avoid this argument)

Idk I feel like that’s not the kind of distinction I’m looking for, because I like anarcho-communism

Edit:

Re: @m532@lemmygrad.ml

If anarcho-communism isn’t communism, why is “communism” in its name?

What? I didn’t say it’s not communism, I’m saying that calling y’all communists isn’t necessarily a distinction from anarchists, bc there’s an anarchist version of communism.

Hi, anarchist here. What word should we use to differentiate y’all from us? Liberals use tankie to mean anyone further left than biden (and it obv has a strong negative connotation), and y’all define authoritarian and state in a way that makes those labels unhelpful. Without having to know someone’s specific ideology, what word should be used if not authoritarian?

Yeah I think it’s specifically casein in my case

I’m allergic to milk. Every time I tell people this, they think I mean lactose intolerant, and I have to clarify that I’m actually not an idiot

I’m also curious about this, because the definition that tankies use is surely not right, but I don’t have receipts

Is this a quote from something? It’s beautiful

This is super not true. Parasitic infections can go on for years while remaining asymptomatic

THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE

My father is a medical professional in a rural town, and he approached the ivermectin craze during the pandemic really seriously to ensure he was making evidence-based treatment decisions. He was coming across a lot of data showing significant improvement in supposed covid symptoms after taking antiparasitics in a significant number of individuals. The leading hypothesis for this effect, however, is that a fair number of people taking ivermectin probably had parasitic infections they didn’t know about, and that’s why they were seeing improvement.

It’s been both mine and my father’s experience that many medical professionals in the US (and I’ve heard it’s similar in other western countries) handwave away many concerns about parasitic infections. I literally had several worms come out of my damn nose, and every single medical professional I spoke to about it didn’t believe me until I showed them the proof.

Others in this thread are saying that if you don’t have symptoms, why should you take a medication you don’t need, but a lot of symptoms don’t even get recognized as symptoms; chronic fatigue, digestive upset, and even psychological symptoms could be caused by an undiagnosed parasitic infection. (And parasitic infections can even be asymptomatic)

Serious adverse reactions to ivermectin are rare, but be smart. If you choose to circumvent the medical system and seek self-treatment, triple check dosaging (if you’re bad at math, ask a friend to check your work (NOT AN LLM)), review interactions and contraindications lists, and start with a small dose (ideally under supervision of a trusted friend and/or close to an ER) to ensure you’re not allergic

My pomegranate method is to cut the peel into quarters along the ~4 corners, and then I just bite into it and be okay with eating a lil bit of waxy stuff

Did you just edit the post to censor “bush” to get more engagement?
