You mean to tell me authoritarians gonna authoritarian?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The author sounds like an authoritative voice on authoritarians authoritating.

[–] Eldritch 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

To be fair though. It's not something anyone needs to be authoritative on. It's an observation even a five year old could make. Though I don't know if that makes it better or worse. LOL

I haven't seen those names in a long time. Cause I blocked them, lol.

Good for you. I tag accounts like that instead so I can keep tabs on whatever latest talking points are getting distributed.

[–] Badeendje 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That app you use so you can tag users like that.

Sync. Used it with reddit for so long it felt right. It's a paid feature. But to me worth it. The person who created sync has been at it for a long time and I don't mind supporting their work.

Fuck all imperialist and hierarchical power structures. Fuck colonialism and fuck the police. Fuck fascists and the libs that enable them.

Having worked in some non-hierarchical non-profits and teams, sometimes you want an head chef to make a call when there are too many cooks in the kitchen.

[–] Eldritch 8 points 3 months ago

Yes, but not hierarchy for hierarchies sake. Organization via consent is fine and encouraged. The problem is when it's done by force in an attempt to justify the hierarchy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

You are correct. "Unjust hierarchies" is probably the term I should have used. Some hierchical structures are going to be necessary in certain settings. What's important is that they're non-exploitative and entered into with real consent from all parties.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Hierarchy by legitimacy is indeed a tough nut to crack. It works well when the organisation has a simple, measurable performance indicator, and when its micro economics are simple. Make widgets, sell widgets is a great model for this kind of structure but yeah, non profits are notoriously difficult to self govern.

Careful. I got banned from the news community in Lemmy.ml for that.

[–] Eldritch 6 points 3 months ago

You too eh?

My favorite part is the 'moderates' who insist they aren't tankies/conservatives yet spend all their time playing apologist for the same.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I got banned from [email protected] for pointing this out. I’m an anarchist, so these authoritarian cohorts look fairly similar to me.

Sorry, yes, probably.

They admit it pretty readily, Trump is favored heavily on Hexbear.
