ExchangeInteraction@lemmy.worldto Comradeship // Freechat@lemmygrad.ml•What is bottom line marxism for you?9·2 years agoThough I very much understand the sentiment, I would disagree with the reluctance to participate in bourgeois democracy. This is because there are significant short term consequences for the lives of marginalized groups (take for example, trans people in the United States). Therefore, until revolution is a reality, advocating for harm reduction is sensible.

Could someone help me out. Thanks!

ExchangeInteraction@lemmy.worldto Ask Science@lemmy.world•Does faster than light travel violate causality? Why/Why not? How?English6·2 years agoThis argument, as far as I know, relies on the nature of time dilation. You see as your velocity increases closer and closer to the speed of light, time itself begins to slow down. This is not an analogy or some fancy math trick, this is a real thing you can measure in the lab. As you get closer and closer to the speed of light time slows more and more. Such that as you reach the speed of light (again this is physically impossible at least for anything with mass) you can think of time as stopping. So for light or anything that moves at the speed of light they’re kind of isn’t such a thing as time, but I digress.
So (again even though it’s actually impossible), what happens as you start to go faster than light? Does this trend continue? If it does that would mean that time starts to reverse. And once you see that faster than light travel might imply time reversal, it should be easier to understand how this would violate causality. Because how do you get event A caused by event B when event B was before even A?

This is the context that I describe it as AC.

ExchangeInteraction@lemmy.worldOPto Comradeship // Freechat@lemmygrad.ml•Maximizing Fediverse ExperienceEnglish0·2 years agoI understand. tilde.zone looks to be into linux, which I’m definitely into as well, so I’ll probably try it out. I’m not even looking of for a super political instance, just not posts celebrating gay women who are drone pilots (or something else who knows, and yes that’s an actual post I saw).
ExchangeInteraction@lemmy.worldOPto Comradeship // Freechat@lemmygrad.ml•Maximizing Fediverse ExperienceEnglish0·2 years agoThank you. I appreciate your input.
Any instances you’d recommend that are leftest? I initially joined a mastodon instance (then tried using lemmy, it was confusing, but consistent with your description of how they interact), but there was enough neoliberalism that it might have just as well been @wasnt_obama.great.
ExchangeInteraction@lemmy.worldOPto Comradeship // Freechat@lemmygrad.ml•Maximizing Fediverse ExperienceEnglish0·2 years agoThanks for the information. Part of me thinks that an app and/or interface that could include multiple formats would be great, but I’m under no illusion that that’s not a monumental ask. Wouls you advise just making multiple accounts for multiple instance types?
