And plz, can we have a Hexbear community for TheDeprogram podcast too? And even for other things like Communalism, Libertarian Socialism, Proletarian Democracy, Council Democracy, Spirituality, Paranormal/Supernatural, NDE, Astral Projection, and the like?

    If a bully decides to stop beating me, the most reasonable thing for me to do is to thank him and show my appreciation for his kindness instead of striking him while he’s walking home alone.

    This is way too show-and-tell brained. All of these fit under the anarchist and/or marxist comms, subdividing into endless boutique sub-sects for the sake of having some kind of post-fordist flavor selection is pure polcomp-style brainrot

    Also wth would "Astral Projection" merit its own comm? We have spiritual/pagan comms already, just use one of those. When you develop a practical use for it, then perhaps there can be a basis for pushing a new comm.

      Even if they could say they ended colonialism they absolutely cannot say they ended it on their own accord

      Yeah, I see.

      I can agree with you on that btw.

      And, what about other leftist tendencies like Communalism, Libertarian Municipalism etc?

        Are those tendencies even held and practiced by living people? They sound like stuff you bought from the supermarket of ideology.

          They're ideologies birthed from Bookchin, and are generally synthesized with other thought, rather than used as is. The Zapatistas, for example, practice Libertarian Municipalism, but it isn't exactly right to call them "Libertarian Municipalists". Having a Democratic Confederalism or Bookchin comm would cover most of what he mentioned.

      I listen to it sometimes but a lot of the time its just them reading an essay and saying fuck a lot. They're fine but not really that entertaining unless they have a guest on
