  • The petty bourgeois, which encompasses coop workers, self-employed artisans, small business owners that put in many hours but also pay wages to workers, lawyers with partner status, etc. are a middle class. They own their means of production to a large extent but also put in labour.

    During times of crisis they align with one of the big classes or the other largely depending on which of those subgroups they belong (the shopkeep will generally align with the factory owner, the coop worker and the artisan usually align with the factory worker). Those that align with capital often end up becoming fascists.

  • I'm sorry to inform you that when I was in high school I had classmates ask me if I was hacking when opening up the command line. We don't have snitches though and the people here have the ability to listen to explanations.

  • In this particular case literally all I want is to be able to talk to my family members without risking the FSB arresting them for calling the "Special Military Operation" a war in a phone call. If using WhatsApp for texting isn't banned alongside phone calls, that is halfway okay for discussions of that nature, and I'll have to watch my tongue if I call them over the Roskomnadzor-Approved (TM) apps.

    The trouble with those of course is that they don't always work well with non-Russian phone numbers (because of course fucking everything needs my number nowadays). And you have to hope they're not megaspyware. I am NOT downloading fucking MAX.

  • I will assume that you are saying that people should not be using Signal based on this (e.g. the United States are sliding into fascism and may fuck over Signal).

    What would you suggest then? PGP? Ngl I'm happy that GnuPG is introducing post-quantum encryption in the new releases but I'm talking about calling my grandma.

  • I often fry whatever vegetables I can find and add a fried egg.

    Rice and buckwheat are very cheap (and vegan if you're of that persuasion). If you cook buckwheat, you can add a few tiny bits of sausage in there and you've got a very filling meal.

    Oatmeal is great because you buy it in huge bags that last long and you can eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If the budget is not that bad you cook it with milk. If it is you cook it with water (this is called gruel, medieval peasant food). If you're making gruel add a bit of salt to make it more palatable.

    An old classic is of course ramen, but the ramen bricks can be made much more filling if you boil them in a pot with a sausage or two (this requires you to have sausage).

    If you live in certain tropical areas you can harvest some edible fruits from unfenced land and use this to enrich your diet.

    Eating a couple extra hours of sleep for breakfast instead of food is a dubiously healthy but certainly effective way to save some money on weekends.

    A pro tip is if your drawer is not very clean your onions will start to sprout and take root. I didn't have to buy onions for about half a year at one point because I just kept cutting off a bit and it kept growing back. I didn't water them or anything, they just did that in my dark dingy cupboard.

  • Because liberalism is a hypocritical ideology.

    The USA built itself off genocide and colonialism and has spent the last three centuries expanding its empire to every continent (and has long-since been an attack dog for Israel).

    France endorsed liberty, equality, and fraternity at home and horrors abroad in Haiti and Algeria.

    To the credit of the Liberal Party, they were much less imperialist than the Whigs they derived from or Tories. This is not to say that they were truly opposed to imperialism. Cecil Rhodes was a Liberal.

    In all of these cases, the colonial adventures did not occur despite liberalism but were justified by it. We must bring enlightened civilization to the savages, you see. Locke and Mill, two foundational British figures of liberalism, were both supporters of colonialism.

  • I don't want to kill Republicans. I don't have the skills and I'm also not American. Furthermore, you are right that the climate is suboptimal for assassinations of Republican politicians at this point. My point was one of morals: it is ethically justified to kill a fascist politician. That's why I said the concerns are tactical.

    As someone who was born in Russia, I think I would still be living there if that miserable piece of shit rat that runs the country fucking died in the most painful way possible.
