Ere we go! 'Ere we go! 'Ere we go!
I always think about the analogy of wrestling a pig, where you both get covered in mud but the pig likes it, but I'm the pig.
"Arguing with a chapo is like wrestling with a pig, win or lose, you'll both get poop on your balls, but the pig will enjoy it."
Tbh it's kind of reframed how I think about dotworld defederating. If they hadn't, the ratio of Hexbears to libs would be different and there'd be more people pushing back on us. The libs abandoned their allies to fight the horde alone.
To be Lemmy.world's ally is dangerous. To be their friend is fatal.
They immediately withdrew into their walled city and left us the run of the countryside
The residents of Dotworld gather round their hearths to tell stories in hushed tones of the lands they once knew well. Rumors spread like wildfire as they hang onto every word of the beleaguered travelers, who speak of roving bands of feral hogs reclaiming lands once civilized, their numbers growing with each retelling. They recall, as a distant memory, a time when they looked down upon the city of Beehaw for cutting itself off from the world. Now, as they eye each other with suspicion and jump at every shadow, fearing that the agents of the hoard have infiltrated their walls and are merely waiting for the opportune time to open the gates, they briefly contemplate fleeing to their stronghold and begging for entry - but the prospect of fleeing across open land is too frightening to even consider.
I am sitting here rolling around in the shit and mud, grunting with pleasure. There is no future. THere is no past. There is no self. I am free.
Much like ork machines our shitposting works only because we believe it will.
When I was still on Twitter I used to argue with people in Spanish a lot to get my practice in. I often had to check dictionaries or see what a translator would do to help me out a little but I genuinely think it helped improve my Spanish lmao.
I once started getting yelled at in Serbian and found out Serbian socialist TERF twitter is a thing
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
Life is a continual struggle to define the impermanent self. The first and primary enemy is the self, which must be annihilated at every moment. But before one can annihilate the self one must hone their blade annihilating libs.
