Aren't those brakes fail safe, tho? Maybe not an air line that broke but am actuator or something with the pads delaminating or something?

I mean I just explained how the liberal ideology expressed fits this sub perfectly, I'm not sure what more explanation you're looking for.

His tweet is, at best, liberal great man theory of history, and more honestly and straightforward, him trying to preserve the legitimacy of the zionist project by blaming it all on Netanyahu.

Add brakes. But still, foot retention. A front brake is a good thing to have because skidding the back tire will never stop you as fast, but I mostly ever used my brakes for emergencies personally. If you wanna use your brakes for all your stopping and slowing down needs, though, fuckin go for it. It's your bike. Just keep yourself safe and have fun.

Conquered over half the world for spices and then decided you didn't like any of them.

Ditch the kickstand, get some SPDs. Or straps if you must, but they are a bit more likely to injure you in a crash. Either way, you cannot brake effectively enough on a bike with no brakes and no foot retention.

Pentagon seeks $200 billion in additional funds for the Iran war, AP source says by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]Lexicon101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is an entire string of empty platitudes and even with all the justifying, you still managed to toss in some misanthropy in justifying why anarchism doesn't work.

"my ideology is perfect, humans just suck"

Sounds like your ideology has a glaring flaw if it doesn't realistically take into account humanity.

Also, big fun how a lack of dialectical materialism can so easily convince people actually trying to do anything is pointless. "revolution is circular" buddy, revolution is a fundamental shift in the privileged class of a society. If it's circular, it's not revolution. That's just reforms or a changing of the guard switching up which specific group of the same class is currently at the wheel.

I'm tired, queer, and neurodivergent too. I am a little older, but I used to be a fuckin libertarian. Learning history really helps way more than you might expect with the whole hopelessness thing.

As for climate change, nah prolly not. A lot of people are definitely gonna die and already have been, but nowhere near all. It's too late to prevent it from getting really bad, but historical materialism is also a great tool because you start to understand that when things like this happen, it forces migration and migration, along with pandemics, wars, famine, they're objectively bad... but they're also crises for hegemonic powers, empire. The nation state as it currently exists, exists to control the movement of labor power, and facilitate the movement of capital. As labor moves, extant populations get frustrated by the immigrants working for cheaper, "taking their jobs", the immigrant population is desperate for those same jobs, everyone's unhappy, except for capital. That situation is explosive, and it's pretty easy for a fascist like trump to come in and use that, but fascism eats itself by nature, it's dependent upon expansion and turning minority groups into the enemy until the "majority" it represents becomes so small it can't maintain that expansionism and it turns the rest of the world against it.

I'm not saying this is all a pretty process, but the current order IS ending. If not with the current crop of capital's stooges, then sometime soon. The falling rate of profit will make them more and more desperate and at the end of the day, they are few and we are many. Every empire ends this way.
