I don’t visualize my users naked but as dorky turbolibs like this.

Once upon a time I was a senior tech lead at an email service provider, and I know enough to know that rolling your own is a very big lift thanks to the email mafia.

Some recent jwz posts:

I'm learning that this place will excuse anything

Okay, I’ll copypasta myself again:

Honest question from a non-communist, based on your reply here. Does one need to support Putin to be a Marxist?

In a word, no. In a few more words, support for Russia (not Putin, as historical materialists don’t subscribe to great man theory) is only a partial, temporary, tactical one, in the context of imperialist liberation. Russia is still a capitalist state, though, so it’s a two stage strategy: first liberate colonized bourgeois states from colonizer states, and second revolution within those liberated bourgeois states.

Russia is an interesting case: it has already liberated itself from the post-Soviet “shock therapy” neocolonizers. This occurred during Putin’s administration, which is why he is especially hated by the US. So now the support for Russia is in the context of keeping the colonizers from recolonizing it, and supporting Russia to the extent that it helps other states liberate themselves. But Russia isn’t trying to “liberate” Ukraine, at least not all of Ukraine. It’s trying to resolve the genocidal attacks on the people of the Donbas, and it’s trying to resolve the imperialist military expansion at its border.

• As usual I am correct and anyone who disagrees is wrong.
• And given the immutable fact that I am right (always)
• Wrongo.
• No I'm just right and that makes you mad
• Impressive really considering that I am right.

Some turbolib smuglord has taken over someone’s hexbear account is what this sounds like. Really embarrassing.

This whole thread has been most garbage take I’ve ever seen a Hexbear user account of any significant vintage make. It’s like you have almost no understanding of imperialism/colonialism or of “critical support” for bourgeois nationalist movements against them. Almost everyone here disagrees with you, as do many people of the Global South, who also align with and significantly support Russia against the imperial core.

That doesn’t sound like an optimal use of labor even if we had a functioning society. Leaving sitting asbestos lie is pretty stable and doesn’t sound like a high priority.

What regime are we talking about now, the US it sounds like?

Oops I accidentally a 1.

The time & place for your “constructive” input was weeks & months ago on GitHub tickets & PRs, numbnuts.
