The state is comprised of people and fictions. It is a fragile thing.

For this reason, authoritarians must first and foremost put forth an *image* of a strong state, because if the fictions--borders, nationality, the connection between state violence and justice--all are revealed for what they truly are, the people defect, and that's that.

GUI/App to automate key presses in linux wayland


There is xclicker which is a flatpak app, but it only automate mouse clicks, but there is nothing for key presses, I am surprised I could not find anything on this, but is there any GUI for this? Also is this possible on a technical level (in flatpak especially, I dont know if apps can simulate key presses). I know of ydotool, but that uses root, also its not a gui
in reply to SpiderUnderUrBed

Dunno if it would meet your needs, but I've been using Input Remapper for binding macros to various key presses and mouse buttons under Wayland. It does prompt for root access, but it's a GUI. It supports any input method, as far as I can tell. It even supports my tablet.

I use it to bind stuff like hold(key(BTN_LEFT).wait(100)) to some button to repeatedly left click while I'm holding that button down.

Now that all can see that lawfulness under fascist America is simply a badly-written play & since it's clear that our highest court is, in fact, the most corrupt one, I was reminded by these statements at the close of Pussy Riot's trial in 2012.

It really does feel like we must all rise together. Authoritarians know who their friends are, but do we understand that we must lift each other up, across false boundaries, against the death cult of old men in power today?

我爸:那不是还要考虑,儿子将来还有需要钱吗
我妈:那是无底洞了
我爸:他老婆到没心事的,每个月退休工资吃光用光还不够,她两个侄子每个月一人一千,一共两千的补贴她

Just do want to say briefly that Bob Vylan saying “Death to the IDF” was an important, strategic and, yes, brave thing to do. Of course it pushed the limit of what is acceptable, was shocking to hear at Glastonbury (i was shocked!), but that was the point.

He single-handedly shifted the Overton Window on what is said. And he was right: The IDF is a violent war organisation that kills unarmed civilians on a daily basis and should indeed come to an end. We all know this, actually. #Gaza

Hay un motivo por el que resulta difícil de definir el fascismo y es que casi todas las demás ideologías se definen por lo que proponen, por lo que quieren conseguir. En cambio el fascismo se define por lo que odian. Sus objetivos en realidad son difusos y no están claros.

Se habla siempre de "volver" a una supuesta "grandeza anterior", de "patriotismo" y "viejas tradiciones" pero nunca explican exactamente cómo hacerlo. No hay un plan organizado ni un proyecto claro.

Sus propuestas solo se concretan y se vuelven claras cuando hablan sobre lo que odian. Sus propuestas son siempre destructivas, no constructivas.

No quieren conseguir nada, lo que quieren es que los demás no lo hagan.

Analysis: The EU is a willing partner in Israel’s genocide, apartheid & military occupation

"It keeps acting as a poodle for the US & Israel... undermining international law, enabling Israel to do unspeakable horror... only possible thanks to military, financial, political, diplomatic... unconditional support."

"Israel keeps violating all human rights... thanks to EU colonial hypocrisy & double standards.”

Buenos y tórridos días. Mientras estoy con el café, ya con 27,6 grados a las ocho menos diez de la mañana, veo esto y me dan más ganas de salir corriendo. Mientras en Madrid cierran el retiro y solo se puede estar fresco en un centro comercial o en casa pagando aire acondicionado non stop, en Bilbao ponen más parques con tumbonas (si, estos ya no tienen bancos, sino tumbonas para relajarse en medio de jardines) y duchas para refrescarse. Que los disfruten.

作为一个没怎么了解过这方面知识的人,很想听听大家对中医中药的看法。

网上刷到不管什么疾病的内容,下面都会有评论推荐看中医吃中药,本来觉得有点咯噔,因为他们说话的方式总给我一种在传销的感觉。但包括身边的人在内推崇中医的人越来越多了,我就疑惑了,大家推崇中医,到底是因为很多人真的用它治好了病,还是一种意识形态宣传的结果。

韩国日本也会有人用汉方药,我觉得传统医学本身并没有那么可恨,但它一旦和其他东西绑定在一起,就变味了,所以现在有一种很奇怪的感觉。反中医的理由我当然也听过,并且觉得挺有道理,想在毛象再听一听香油的意见。

你要找对医生。我个人体验是有效果。我只是去调理也没和医生说我每个夏天脖子后面会固定发湿疹。用过所有外用药也没法根治。但是,之前去看过一段时间中医调理,主要是看睡眠。喝完一段时间中药,脖子后面的湿疹就再也没有复发过了。还有就是我爸的肺部,所有医生都是说要开刀,但是他已经开过一次肾脏的刀,他不愿意再熬一次。他就要保守治疗喝中药,最近的一次检查下来是说结节有变小。感觉不是急症的话,偶尔调理一下是可以的。但是记得是药三分毒,最多三个月查一下肝肾功能。一般都是大夏天和大冬天去看中医。认真筛选一下可靠的医生

‘Bloodiest 21st Century War’: New Study Finds Gaza’s Real Death Toll Nears 100,000 orinocotribune.com/bloodiest-2…

I've been following the #Congo #peace #negotiations, and it looks like the deal being signed is very one-sided. #Rwanda gets to keep its troops in Congo, #M23 gets to join the Congolese army, and Congolese minerals keep flowing into the US. #Qatar hosted the negotiations, and the signing will be in Washington, with #Rubio and #Trump present. It seems obvious that Congo was pressured into giving up its core demands. This is not a long-term solution for peace.

J.K. Rowling Destroyed Trans Ideology With One Savage Tweet

Famed “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling became a vocal critic of transgender ideology back in 2019, when she supported a woman who lost her job for saying that biological sex is immutable. In 2020, Rowling’s tweets and essay argued that prioritizing “gender identity” over biological sex threatens women’s rights and safety, drawing from her experience as an abuse survivor. She faced fierce backlash, was branded a “TERF” by activists, and even endured death threats, but stood firm.

Rowling’s stance has only grown more defiant as she continues to call out the bullying tactics of trans activism and the erasure of women. Despite relentless attacks from activists, media outlets, and even cast members from “Harry Potter,” her unapologetic wit and unwavering resolve have made her a leading voice of resistance against a radical ideology that silences dissent. This week, she once again proved why she remains a formidable force in the culture war over gender, giving courage to countless women who’ve been too afraid to speak out.

Apparently some people have been attacking Rowling by saying she looks like a “trans woman.” Her response to such attacks says it all:

Attention all men telling me I look like a trans woman: I’m sensing that this isn’t meant as a compliment. In fact, the implication seems to be that trans women look male, or odd, or ugly. This is appallingly transphobic and I’ll thank you to take your bigotry off my timeline.

Now he must be supported in big numbers in spite of the attempts of the scared right wing to smear and bring him down

"#Mamdani said he was inspired by the #US civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr, who once remarked: “Call it democracy or call it #DemocraticSocialism. There has to be a better distribution of wealth for all of God’s children in this country.”

He then reiterated his intent to raise taxes on #NewYork’s wealthiest as part of a campaign pledge “to shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods”.

“I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality..."

Neo liberals are just as bad as hardcore pro-Soviet hardliners, if not worse.

All neoliberals did was make capitalism suck even more than it already did. At least the Soviet Union was an upgrade from the feudal backwardness that came before it in history.

The only reason people don't write op eds about deaths from capitalism or build memorials to its victims is because the West is more effective at enacting mass violence and using the illusion of democracy to conceal the totalitarian abuses they inflict (primarily on the African, Asian, and South American continents)

in reply to Jackie 🍉

The Soviet Union had a brutal and repressive system. The Soviet Union was worse at it than the Western European powers that invented the game, and that's why it collapsed.

Stalin could not beat the brutality of Washington, or Jefferson, or Churchill, or Reagan. He simply couldn't. His brand of despotism was too blatant and too ineffective in its deceptiveness to continue beyond a couple generations.
