It’s far more simple than that. The students are predominantly nobles, and they pretty much completely cut all ties to their previous lives.

So why would you send a hot daughter to become a witch when you can marry her and make political gains? You send the disfigured one so you don’t have to waste any more money on her.

The 5th son doesn’t need to be disfigured to be essentially useless in the political world.

emacs functions

I think that’s everything relevant, but send me a message if something’s missing, i haven’t used stump in a while.

I’m currently doing something similar in go for i3, but the tiling model doesn’t match up quite as nicely.

You interested in my attempt at integrating Emacs and stumpwm? It’s not great, but I managed to do some cool things like have Emacs emulate rofi for launching apps and as a pass frontend, and to unite key bindings in a smart way (for example, same shortcut: move stump window, move Emacs window, and if no Emacs tiles to that side move the whole Emacs window through stump).

I really liked using it, but i3 has so many nice features.

Not at all, but I really should stop commenting before I wake up. It was supposed to be a funny remark on remaking MX in mint.

Next time just use MX instead of recreating a worse version. Cool looking xfce though

The murder was mostly about one group of people

Funny how people focus on the final solution and completely ignore Lebensraum…

Signal was decent when Musk was promoting it. Then they started throwing in new features without keeping the app functional or thinking about budgeting. So now it’s the worst performing chat app, basic functionality like calls are broken, and they want to monetize the app through crypto to cover up their lack of planning.

Matrix is pretty great, but the clients are still pretty bad, also it’s confusing as hell to anyone who doesn’t understand the idea of federation. I’ve tried getting people on element, but every single person needed help to create an account and get to chatting, and they’ve all deleted the app after a while. Also, did matrix fix that encryption bug that was leaking data if someone connected through a different server?

It’s also really buggy, and it’s got worse performance than even element. Like the calls don’t even make it through most of the time, and instead the other person just gets a missed call notification after you stop dialing them.

On the other hand telegram makes it a chore to have encrypt messages, doesn’t allow encrypted group chat, and breaks normal functionality when encrypted (reactions, GIFs, etc.)

MOTAJ, MOTAJ, MOTAJ, SMOTAJ!

Hell, I’d love to see how long USA would survive without being able to invade and destabilise countries to steal their resources and manipulate market prices. No amount of trading can save you if your economy is based on the idea of infinite resources and growth.

I’m currently reading “Counterrevolution and Revolt”, and there are a few interesting points regarding your list.

The modern working class is not composed mainly out of factory workers and other producers of material goods. The vocabulary needs to be adapted to be approachable, and the concepts relatable. Otherwise you either get an intellectual “elite” using specialised terms to quickly exchange ideas, or a circlejerk where everyone is repeating stuff like “seize the means of production”. In either case the message wasn’t received by the group it should have.

Another important point is that the Russian texts don’t have much relevance to modern workers. We’re not starving, oppressed, and fighting for survival. Capitalism has had decades to learn how to keep the working population docile. It might be a better idea to use texts that deal with modern forms of capitalism because they’re more likely to successfully introduce these topics to non- academic beginners.

If I remember correctly, he also had a similar point about Marx and how the economy and capitalism in the 70s (when the book was written) were completely different to what Marx was writing about. My take is that if you give someone a difficult book, written about a difficult topic like economy, and on top of that it’s written about a system that’s not the one you’re living in, they’re most likely not going to finish it.

That’s from the perspective of spreading the idea of a revolution to common people. If the goal was to create a list for academics to begin their revolutionary education, I’d add a note about some TLDR of German idealism for the more adventurous.

Master branch is racist!!!

People who don’t have anything better to do find anything to be offended by.
