idk what a good solution to this is but i do think it is the most obvious challenge to the idea of direct voting being the ideal form of democracy

the obvious example to be beyond if you wanted to address problems affecting a numerical minority that is a minoritized population. theoretically their concerns could just get outvoted

i feel like there is something to the idea of the tyranny of the majority and i’m not sure what a satisfactory way of dealing with that problem is

i have a reason to play the new melty blood

i’m happy it seems i didn’t fuck up the merge from current glitch-soc last night because i would like to not work on the instance during labor day lol

anyway this is what we mean by “semantic shift” as, given what commewnism means today for leftists, calling the wobs commies would be ludicrous

marx & engels at one point identified commewnism as a movement of the working class, where the working class is the leading actor of the revolution, as opposed to what they called socialism, which was a movement of the supposedly Enlightened trying to convince the powerful to be nice

funnily enough, going by the definition of commewnism (as opposed to socialism) provided by The Manifesto, the iww is a commewnist movement

imo

how about they start offering the generic USB controller support upgrade already

sadly i cannot play strikers battle league with my smashbox as-is as i need R and gamecube controllers only map ZL and ZR

also i literally cannot even change admin roles to anything else, even as an admin,

booooooooooooo

ok so user roles are mutually exclusive so i cannot be both an Admin and a Cat

fēlēs sum

i can finally follow hashtags

my instance hath been enpurpl’d

finally started working through the new strikers’s tutorial

not illustrated in this comparison is how in SA2 the introductory bass lick is timed for exactly when sonic hits the ground, which is not done in Generations, which is a huge miss imo

also i do not understand the harmony in the new take, i think it’s very strange; i can’t tell if i really do think it’s wrong or if i’m just thrown off by it being different. regardless, i wish they kept the original harmony
