Not a clusterfuck. Maybe a tedious return to an old topic—free will vs determinism—but basically a good conversation.

is it just the gender version of all those threads we used to have about why white ppl are awful, posted in almost entirely by white ppl, where some of the white ppl agree that actually white ppl aren't that bad really?

I can't decide whether the fact that thread doesn't have NSFW content means that you all aren't really getting at the essence of maleness and masculinity, or if it means that you all are pretty decent people

lol the mutual aid whatsapp im in also had a political meltdown leading to a temp-ban this morning -- its like a home from home
(except they're better at getting supplies to OAPs and we're more sanguine abt handling clusterfucks)

Every time I see the word ‘sanguine’ I struggle to parse it as anything other than ‘bloody’.

I made a pun on this basis the other day and nobody appreciated it. I guess it’s an ancestor of “bloody-minded”?

Same.
Mark, was the whatsapp tempban a result of the "tory scum" vs "now now, we all need to stick together rn" variety? It's as contagious as the virus these days.

If I was in a disaster movie I'd just throw the Tories into the fire/out of the window/into the shark tank and then crack on working with the human beings who were left

the tory it was that was banned in this case (i live in hackney): apparently he's on the steering committee so i imagine funtiems bein had behind the scenes
also my hyper-anarchist chums (who were very involved in getting these going) are saying there's a now concerted govt effort to co-opts the MAs going on, to strip out the politics and make it much more top-down and normative (pinch of salt abt the degree to which this is joined-up policy, anarchists be bein anarchists much as i love these guys, BUT i think this will likely be a feature going forward yes)

on one of our groups someone did a poll about how members of the local group were going to deal with April's rent -- a dozen people voted they were going to "pay as normal" -- one of the group admins (who I am friends with) wants to ban all these people from the group.
― sarahell, Saturday, 28 March 2020 18:44 (four years ago) link
I suggested to them (the admin -- a non-binary person) that they don't know whether there are any other circumstances involved that might make paying rent and not acting in solidarity with the rent strike, a politically acceptable choice.
― sarahell, Saturday, 28 March 2020 18:45 (four years ago) link
actually tbf the side of the argument i encountered in my version was your side: anarchists saying "yes rent strikes are good and proper but don't just leap into them without working out what we happen down the road and how we fight that too" (the pro side being meme-y twitter hotheads i guess) (who i don't know)
― mark s, Saturday, 28 March 2020 18:53 (four years ago) link
