Government satisfaction has remained steady since September, with 11% satisfied (-1 vs September) and 82% dissatisfied (n/c), net of -71.

From Ipsos

At this point the Labour gov't might no longer be working to attempt to redeem itself. Instead ram through unpopular, donor-friendly deals before their power expires.

Way more than several decades. They startded in the South-East Asia more than a century ago. Latin America shortly after.

For most of the world, capital is a malign actor and the US has the highest concentration.

While not ideal, it's totally standard state of affairs. Even in PC Linux there are often some binary blobs required for proper function of some hardware. E.g. non-free firmware in Debian.

Aren't we subject to the embargo? If we are and we did this, I imagine we're gonna get hit with a new round of sanctions. Perhaps we could next year when Trump's sanctions popularity has tanked so hard he can't use them as leverage anymore. Maybe it could be done as a matter of humanitarian relief. I don't know. This shit is so fucking sad.

Yeah this whole thing looks like a 2-for-1 deal to topple both governments after starving their economies for a long time. Especially given the hard-on Rubio has for killing the Cuban Revolution. And then install resource-extractive governments in their place of course.

Was curious who makes the FP and I found the info here.

This is the source tree from our hardware and software supplier T2Mobile.

I don't know anarchism in depth but reading through the comments here, this is what strikes me as an obvious vulnerability of the ideology. That and the seeming lack of a mechanism against returnung to capitalist production.

The examples of societies in this thread are inefficient in terms of production. While that's probably a good thing for quality of life, it tells me they likely wouldn't be able to produce enough defence goods to stop a capitalist from taking over and throwing them into factories for 12 hours per day. Capitalism being great at producing weapons efficiently.

I don't think that's the message of the meme. The way I get is that we can and should be aligned at least until we abolish capitalism. I don't pretend to agree - I'd work with anyone who opposes capital from the left. Incliding MLs even if I don't buy everything in ML. Or anarchists for that matter.

It's working brillianty for the owner class so far.

Every time I post something for sale on Craigslist/Kijiji/FB I get reminded that this is a use case we should be able to handle. We could also offer a non-profit alternative for wider audiences instead of generating revenue for Meta. It could also serve as another channel for new users to our Fediverse, people not necessarily interested in social media alternatives. The American corporate services won't be getting any better over time so an alternative is likely to be needed.

This project seems to be implementing a federated marketplace. If a Fedecaner finds themselves with even more time to donate than they already have and a similar desire, maybe that could be the next service to standup. :D

Thoughts?
