The goal should be taking down Trump before coming for the other party.

It should be, but I dont think that Democrats see it the same way. The party as a whole besides some individual politicians is not a party that is ready or willing to oppose the fascists.

They also have a track record of being useless against Trump. They were in power 4 years, Biden promised to bring the country back together and just failed. There is no need to focus on them when resisting Trumpism.

Doesnt mean they couldnt join the cause, but most likely they will do that when they decide to co-opt it so they can win the next election.

blackblogs / noblogs host websites & provide urls for activist groups and campaigns. While in some cases Lemmy might be a better/equivalent alternative, often times its not.

Lemmy is just not as useful for campaigns and long lived activist groups, because the structure and all not needed features distract and make the user experience worse.

Besides this, both hosters have quite a history of hosting and not deleting radical content such as doxxed nazis and claims of responsiblity for militant actions, which is something many Lemmy instances do not have and some would probably deleted specific content based on their server rules.

As described by OOP, they just take parts out of context and think they somehow “won” the debate.

I think comparing gender or sexual orientation to a disability is also not the way to go. Its a very different experience with very different challenges in our current society.

If what you say is true about not being anti queer, I think you should try to refelct the way you view and talk about queer people. The reactiona to ypur comments are so big/aggressive because the rhetoric you use is very similar to the rhetoric many bigots use when talking about queer folks. So even if you mean it differently, from our perspective it really looks the same / similar.

good that you know better than the people that write psychatric / psychological guidelines for professionals. they actually removed the classification as a mental disorder based on more uptodate research and the current scientific consensus. its sad to see people not only repeating this transphobic talking point but people on Lemmy also upvoting it.

I think “siding with the ruling class” means different things for us. For me its like this:

If you criticize individual presidents for their actions, but do not criticize the existence of a president, then you are sidig with the ruling class.

If you criticize political parties for their actions, but do not criticize the party system as whole, then you are sidig with the ruling class.

If you criticize individual capitalists for their actions, but do not criticize the system that allows them.to do their (and all other capitalists) exploitation, then you are sidig with the ruling class.

The Guardian often publishes the full name of criminal defendants, example here:

An alleged robbery in which £1.38m worth of watches were stolen from a shop in London was “staged” and everyone involved “consented”, including a jewellery store manager who later killed himself, a court has heard.

Junior Kunu, 30, and Mannix Pedro, 37, deny charges of conspiring with others to commit a robbery in Richmond, south-west London, on 25 May 2024.

Liberal papers such as the guardian or the New Yprk might be known for quality journalism, but they are also known to routinely side with the ruling class

Sounds like they might want something where they have a low barrier of entry and where they can feel their impact immediately. Could you help your friend to look around for active mutual aid groups in their area? Otherwise Food not Bombs might also be an option, check if there is a group nearby and contact them.

Hey maybe try to have more good faith when engaging with posts like this. They do not have to #notallwhites to get the benefit of doubt that they are aware that ehite folks can be and are allies

Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.

As an anarchist I refuse to get categorized in such a one dimensional manner. I am not a leftist. I just share many ideals with leftists.

But yeah right wing “anarchists” can fuck off

which is fundamentally not democracy as the Ancient Greeks intended it to be.

This does not make modern representative democracies better, but the ancient greeks only allowed men and non enslaved people to particpate in their democracy.

It kinda did. People showed they were able to take decisive, visible and collective actions and that through solidarity they were able to withstand the repression (all charges dropped).

This should be inspirational to all kind of (direct) action
