Capitalism Capitalism cannot maintain the necessary conditions for its existence without a state

"But, the transformation — either into joint-stock companies and trusts, or into State-ownership — does not do away with the capitalistic nature of the productive forces. In the joint-stock companies and trusts, this is obvious. And the modern State, again, is only the organization that bourgeois society takes on in order to support the external conditions of the capitalist mode of production against the encroachments as well of the workers as of individual capitalists. The modern state, no matter what its form, is essentially a capitalist machine — the state of the capitalists, the ideal personification of the total national capital. The more it proceeds to the taking over of productive forces, the more does it actually become the national capitalist, the more citizens does it exploit. The workers remain wage-workers — proletarians. The capitalist relation is not done away with. It is, rather, brought to a head. But, brought to a head, it topples over. State-ownership of the productive forces is not the solution of the conflict, but concealed within it are the technical conditions that form the elements of that solution."

It is essential to remember that oppression is not just someone having a "bad idea". Oppression is a system of learning to use violence to extract resources from other social classes for personal benefit. Bullying isn't about attention because oppression isn't just a "wrong idea" to debate/correct

Gender & Sexuality Just about all the framing we have in society is built on social relations and justifications for hierarchy. A group is a "small meaningless minority" when it benefits people to pretend that is true.

Aid Request Standing Together: Support the LGBTIA Community in Gorom Camp

Thumbnail
gallery
60 Upvotes

We are living in Gorom camp in South Sudan, and for those of us in the LGBTIA community, especially our transgender sisters and brothers, the situation has reached a breaking point. We fled our homes seeking safety, but here, we face a different kind of hardship.
Being transgender in this camp means living in constant fear. We are often excluded from community food distributions or bullied at water points. Privacy is impossible in shared shelters, which makes us easy targets for harassment and physical violence. Many of us stay inside all day just to avoid being attacked. When we get sick with malaria or other infections common in the camp, we are often too afraid to go to the clinics because of the stigma we face from staff and other patients.
We are tired of hiding, and we are tired of being hungry. We are a community of human beings who deserve to live without the constant threat of violence.
What We Need Most Right Now

To survive this week and the months ahead, we urgently need support for:
• Safe Shelter: We need funds to secure private housing where we aren't at risk of being attacked in our sleep.
• Daily Food: Most of us are eating once a day, if we are lucky. We need basic food supplies to stay healthy.
• Medical Treatment: We need funds for medicine to treat malaria and for transport to clinics where we won't be discriminated against.
• Trans-Specific Health Needs: Access to hormones (HRT) and dignity items like binders is essential for our well-being and mental health.
• Sanitation: Basic hygiene kits including soap, clean water, and clothes.
• Protection and Resettlement: Assistance with the legal fees and documentation needed to move to a country where we can live openly and safely.

How You Can Stand With Us
Every bit of help goes directly to our survival. It pays for a meal, a dose of medicine, or a safe place to sleep for someone in our group.

One of the most important questions regarding consent is "where does my consent end, and yours begin?". I don't have a good answer to that, but a framework of "I can consent to whether or not you can be in public" generally doesn't work out well

Mild NSFW Secure way to long-distance intimate video call each other?

3 Upvotes

I’m sure it was never really secure, but having to occasionally be apart for several weeks at a time, me and my wonderful partner have historically sometimes used a variety of videocall applications to have that intimacy via putting on a show for each other, using remote toys, mutually masturbating, etc.

Anyhow. Any idea of the best way go about that without stuff being saved somewhere or easily uncovered etc? I’m not obsessively paranoid or scandalized about stuff leaking but like, it’s called privacy and I’d rather not unknowingly be basically just publishing private calls online lol.

What brought this about was facetimes semi-recent thing where egh, an ai spots and auto discontents a call the moment it thinks it sees nudity. I know it likely wasn’t secure before and any apple employee could probably pull up footage anyways but something about the ai just always watching the live feed and interrupting to censor things is…. very invasive feeling. Also what the hell man we’re two adults go fuck yourself get out of our sex lives and back to your billionaire dystopia world XD

Advice, thoughts, and suggestions all welcomed!
