I complained in the “other” box that they did include for a different question lol

I don’t care what they’re supposedly “about;” dignity and self-determination are important principles to me

Does anyone seriously think Michelle Obama is “as left progressive as it gets”?? Is the overton window so fucked that neoliberal ideas are now considered progressive?

When Michelle Obama did that shit, I ended up underweight and had to start spending more money on food

You sound like the kind of person who doesn’t give homeless people cash so they can’t spend it on drugs. Just let people find a little joy and make their own choices

I’m as left progressive as it gets

Lmao, you’re clearly not

##Update:

• Authorities have ruled out a cyberattack, with investigations indicating the outage was caused by a “very strong oscillation in the electrical network” that led Spain’s power system to disconnect from the European system, collapsing the Iberian electricity network

English summary:

• A massive power outage struck most of Spain, Portugal, parts of southern France, and Andorra around 12:30 PM CET on April 28, 2025 (3.5hrs ago).
• Electricity consumption dropped by about 50%, causing widespread disruption.
• Possible causes include a rare atmospheric phenomenon affecting high-voltage lines or a cyberattack; investigations are ongoing.
• The blackout disrupted traffic lights, public transport (trains, metro), airports, and telecommunications.
• Hospitals operated on emergency power; many surgeries were suspended; urgent patient transfers prioritized.
• Emergency plans were activated; Madrid raised its emergency level and considered military support to maintain order.
• Power restoration began gradually but full recovery could take 6 to 10 hours.
• The outage affected supermarkets, businesses, and public services, causing closures and delays.

I made this but idk how to share it bc catbox.moe never works for me, imgur is down, and I don’t have a peertube account

In the US, I think it’s more common to charge after. I worked at an agency whose paperwork stated they would charge before the session, but they never actually did.

Personally, I’m not gonna cancel a session just because the card declines anyway- I can be paid another time; so it’s much less awkward to just charge after imo

Revolution? Yeah, revolution can bring anarchy, but I certainly wouldn’t give the fascists any credit, as I’m not an accelerationist.

Odds of revolution seem low though

Edit: also, to be clear, I don’t believe any form of government is ‘just’

Fascists will not bring anarchy

Wow, that got weird

I disagree with your premise itself

You seem to be under the assumption that I’m a lib who accidentally took “defund the police” too far. I’m an anarchist who believes we shouldn’t have laws at all

On the contrary, corrupt cops should be called out.

All cops are bastards

How is demonizing someone for their profession any better than demonizing someone for their sexual orientation

Lmao, classic

Ew, copaganda

Oh shit new counter statistic just dropped

despite making up only 12% of local police forces…

I block every liberal with a shit take I come across (like 200 .world users so far lol) so that could explain why I haven’t seen it much

That is whack; thanks for sharing

That’s been my only exposure to the term, is hearing/seeing anarchists say it. Do liberals really use that term?

I’m aware, I’ve just never heard/seen a liberal use the word “tankie”- though I don’t often expose myself to liberals… Are libs actually using that word now? I would literally laugh out loud at the hypocrisy if I witnessed that

Do MLs consider anarchists liberals now?
