The heat is restrictive.

Plants are releasing allergens, requring medication and/or extensive exposure therapies.

Abundance of life can be overwhelming and invasive in the form of road traffic full of boat trailers, pickup flag caravans, and grills and smokers billowing on residential development scales.

I can regulate my temperature in the cold, where there are barely any allergens that get me and everyone’s holed up inside so I can be outside and in peace more often than not.

But my ancestors were bog people. If it isn’t misty or foggy in the morning I am genetically obligated to be grouchy until ingesting heated caffiene or complaining about the english.

This, but the box held together with tan packing tape applied in the 90s.

No doubt, but at least we’re acknowledging 'Nam.

born in 1949 Don’t have to fight in a war

Hmmm

That’s the channel Indy Neidel made during/after The Great War, correct? I never made the leap after following from 2014-2018.

So in that regard just be aware that serfdom is a really broad category that embodies the labor system that existed under fuedal societies. For example, one of the longest lasting systems of serfdom existed in the Russian Empire until the 1860s. The serfs of England revolted in the Elizabethan era and a system of tenant rent was implemented. So there are centuries long gaps in what serfdom was like depending on where you’re looking. Material conditions for the 14th century peasant and the 19th century vary widely, but do have common structure and function.

Tolstoy and Dostoevsky wrote extensive literature of Russian serfdom, and worth a read. Although, well, its Tolstoy ans Dostoevsky. I have barely read either, for context.

I usually maxed out at one person at a time anyway, so finding a spouse fit my life quite easily. Which, incidentally, has mostly exempt me from this scenario.

However the random requirement to socialize with other people’s spouses and other couples due to children… Well, that’s necessity. Like work.

I am friendly and socialable at work, which ends everyday at the agreed upon time. That doesn’t keep me up at night.

Baguette supremacy.

Places? At risk of sounding glib, your local library. It’s such a wide and broad topic you can read up on pretty much any country or regions history and get a picture of how it developed.

Now for the specific topic of economic and labor systems? Honestly I think I would venture to say start with critiques of F.A. Hayek since what I was referring to was the development of the centrally planned nation state.

Hayek’s influential work is definitely geared towards a Cold War era audience which is why I suggest critiques. Disentangling central planning from political ideology can be a valuable tool.

That’s accurate to what serfdom was but it was an evolution of pre-medival slavery. Instead of being the personal property of a king working the fields on the kings owned land, it was about being the personal property of the crown, the state, the system (owned by the king.)

A slave could earn their freedom, be set free, or even kill their master and be free. A lot of slaves in antiquity had a tendency to overthrow kingdoms.

A serf though, was never meant to be free. Except, maybe, by another, foreign nation state. And now you know the basis of most European medieval war history.

The neat thing about Hasan is that his hate machine has to resort to manufacturing controversy about him.

That Mad Mage just isn’t making sense!

It’s like a purposeful troll on a group with a persistent completionist mentality.

When (if) they catch on the DM can help expedite their routing.

Hryhoriv kinda poisoned the well for any vestige of the ataman system to have survived revolution.

The communism-anarchism conflict often resembles the divide between urban and rural society.

It isn’t insurmountable.

A deep comment thread without a single intentional misquote and ‘so you hate pancakes’ tactic. Love to see it.

I am on the same instance so my Local feed has a constant stream of posts and comments before they’re purged for curation. I don’t run an equivalent counter-MoG so all there is are deleted comments from Permanently Deleted threads. There’s a reason the focus is on screenshots of 2 minute old comments with names censored out.

Like a user named BeanCounter was an alt of someone who spammed .ml users with death threats. There’s nothing left of their posts or comments to reference today. Some of it was on older versions of Lemmy so I am not sure it can even be searched for anymore.

Mostly it has reduced to just a few people personally harassing the lemmy devs and a few powerusers by other powerusers. But two years ago especially it was aggressive enough the devs started doing content moderation.

Which, of course, has become a new focus.

What’s wrong with being an anti-leftist?

Uh…

You follow with referencing “leftists” as a something of a falsehood… So do you mean to ask what is wrong with being an ‘anti-“leftist”’ or ‘anti-leftist’…?

Gotta respect the cern.

If there was any doubt the kid’s shirt ties it together.

Sadly this fake Toilet Paper USA type stuff tends to provide cover for the heinous shit they actually say, while simultaneously obscuring the crazy things they do with the absurdity.
