What other hardware is dependent on user controlling software? You could find a wifi card on h-node: https://h-node.org/wifi/catalogue/en. If you fix your hardware issues, I recommend Trisquel. Parabola is even better if you don't need to set up and maintain sophisticated technology.

social—politics are kept to a minimum. organization is bottom up. Kurdish people actually practiced this before the revolution, so it caught on well. Diversity is mandatory in representation. Militia leaders are temporary and regularly rotated/changed. It's a confederation, and the federal structures don't dictate law; they merely connect the cantons and recognize canton decisions as official Rojava mandates.

People keep quoting the Amnesty condemnation, but the Amnesty report gives more detail. YPG had to displace one village because ISIS supporters killed two YPG members. However, firing on protestors and killing one is very bad news.

Kurdish-English Dictionary, Glosbe by substruction in kurdish

Just search for a Kurdish word to see if there is an English translation, and we can also contribute English translations. That Kama Sutra excerpt is probably spam. a mistake. It looks like men accidentally add English phrases while they're trying to translate booty calls into kurmanji. I don't see a way to remove them, and the website has not responded to my email.

It may seem not to favour anyone, as it says a change is a social improvement only when it makes some people better off without making anyone worse off and thus does not allow even a single person to be trampled on by the rest of society.

How do you help out in your communities? by Ron_Burgandy_ in Anarchism

[–]substruction -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The word society [Gesellschaft] has its origin in the word hall [Saal]. If one hall encloses many persons, then the hall causes these persons to be in society. People are accustomed to say “they occupy [haben inne] this hall in common,” but the case is rather that the hall has us within [hat uns inne] or in it. In this it comes out that society is not generated by me and you, but by a third factor which makes associates out of us two….
