In the UK, the only warning system we have is receiving a text message. And even that is a hit or miss because only half of the people I know actually received one when the govt was testing the system a couple years ago.

Firstly, how do you consider China to be a fascist nation?

Secondly, When since 1990 did “tankies” uncritically support Russia?

Thirdly, assuming you manage to establish even a remotely socialist government, how would you go about ensuring its survival against embargoes, espionage, invasion, counterrevolution, etc without ending up like Allende or Lumumba?

Fourthly, what the hell even is that graphic? Assuming you’re supposed to overlay the political compass on top (which is a poorly designed and arbitrary graph that doesn’t have room for nuance anyway), What right wing economic arguments do you think we promote? Because I’m pretty sure the abolition of private property isn’t something Friedman, let alone Hitler, particularly agreed with.

Fuck right off with this infighting and division bullshit you’re pushing. What does this serve to achieve other than divide the left and prevent it from organising and taking action?

The only reason “tankies” are “authoritarian” (two words that have lost any meaning at this point), is because after seeing repeated examples throughout history where liberal socialist movements have fallen and collapsed to capitalist backed fascist militias and infiltration, they are willing to do what it takes to ensure the socialist state lasts long enough against counterrevolution to begin building the foundations for a truly free socialist society.

Even if that means a few dead monarchs, billionaires, and fascists along the way, then I have no objection against those whom you call “tankies”.

Can confirm. With a dog who sheds enough hair to build a statue of himself every week, a robot vacuum has been a great help. Just make sure to get one with a self-emptying bin, or your gonna be emptying it yourself after every lap around the house, and it’ll be more tedious than just vacuuming yourself.

Atleast use a Caesar’s cypher to stop casual snoopers. Storing passwords in plaintext is bad, no matter the location or medium in which its stored.

Although, from an ecological point of view, asteroid mining and orbital manufacturing plants would be a good way of offloading the environmental costs of a post-scarcity society.

If you’re tech-savvy, or willing to learn, A nextcloud instance would be my goto

First OS, WinXP.

Later when win7 was discontinued, I kept windows 10 on my desktop and Ubuntu on my laptop. It wasnt until Valve started working on proton and most of the games I play became playable on Linux that I ditched windows entirely.

I distrohopped around for a while, but always found myself landing back on Ubuntu, so it’s what I’ve stuck with to this day, although if anyone else asks me what distro they should get, I will usually recommend mint.

But you can legislate on whether to stop giving that country’s military the weapons it uses to violate any ceasefire orders and continue the genocide.

Oh, but they did.

It just doesn’t resemble the bourgeois ‘democracy’ we have in the west, but rather something else entirely that better fits the 'for the people, by the people, of the people" definition of democracy.

I’m willing to bet that some techbro either already has, or will in the near future propose an Ai toilet that will do something exactly this.
