‘Other citizens’ such as: the Praetor; hence the rest of the comment. They served a critical role for the local rulers and magistrates.

Are you just forgetting about the Lictor? They were a fixture of regal, republic, and imperial Rome. You know, the guys with the fasces?

They were a direct and specific role doing state sanctioned violence for the Praetor. It seems overly selective to exclude this role in Roman society.

The doctored photos thing is so last week.

There’s some neurotoxins that can get you with shellfish and such.

What happens if we do a ratio of bans vs number of users?

We get a graph that compares two unrelated values?

Unless this data is purely internal instance user bannings, ‘Per capita’ has no effective meaning. As the pawb.social case shows: it’s all one user with multiple communities who regularly bans waves of sockpuppet brigades. Even the people catching strays or otherwise goes to show it has nothing to do with ‘the furries’.

Likewise I wager the SJW bans are effectively one community banning essentially one user who periodically spams accounts.

What is it about dbzer0 that makes them such prolific banners?

That whole painfully public fued against db0 over their stance on zionism may have something to do with it. Like the fake neo-nazi shit being spread against db0 that was just going on this week. It’s a wild question to have in light of all that, quite frankly.

I remember 90’s era Starbucks and a bunch were still pretty grungy corners of strip malls. But the point was they were still coffeeshops, despite being a chain that went corporate.

Now they’re glorified coffee stands with real estate baggage and little sandwiches. And zero of that ‘third place’ shit they used to dominate the market.

Technically, it is a dual role of Librarian-Cat Tree Getter. There’s an overlap in duties.

Back when I worked for a health department there was pretty good evidence that people mostly shit at work.

I came across this evidence when inspecting homeless encampments which was also when I came to learn most of them fucking had jobs.

Then covid came around and all the remote workers started blowing up their septic systems because they’d never been used so much and during the daytime.

The sanitary overlap between tent cities and fancy farmhouses is much larger than you’d expect.

It would appear this Leeroy has a bone to pick with capitalists.

I have seen many an occupied barn in rural America.

This kind of situation is usually a medical condition and the land inherited from grandpa. The piece of land and shanty structures on it are all they have. Which is actually a whole lot given the value of land these days.

But for the most part they’ll stubbornly die on the bit of land they grew up on. If they have kids who left, they sell afterwards. If there’s kids that don’t leave, they perpetuate the cycle another generation.

Sorta. The dynasty that formed and ruled the tsardom of Russia were from Kievan Rus heritage by way of Rurik.

Muscovy was the polity that really formed the framework of the tsardom out of the princedoms left in the wake of the Khanates.

For the people I was referencing it was more racial association with people from South and Central America being predominantly Catholic.

I remember a congregation out where I live, in Yankeestan, had astened a crude structure onto their truckbed and they called it their mobile chapel. They’d drive out to agriculture zones and try to preach to migrants against catholicism.

Studio execs: “Perfection.”

Protestant/Unionist

That is mainly the root of it. The Catholic-Protestant divide is mirrored as the Republican-Unionist divide. Even if the religion could be separated the political implication remained.

Which made things especially tough for the Protestants in the republic and all the Catholics in the union.

They could easily just be a Groyper. Groypers will do hasbara for the lulz, and they are the primary group other than Zionists so dedicated to hating on Hasan.

He is a great litmus test. Someone who has a fundamental problem with Hasan is reliably someone who who is not on the left, or at least susceptible to wrecking or infighting.

Quite frankly a tool like that is incredibly empowering for leftwing organization.

Conservatism can easily be a form of liberalism, and can even be considered progressive. It sounds contradictory but conservatism of progressive traditions, customs, and values is a component of many liberal societies. That’s your Teddy Roosevelts, the Southern New Deal Democrats, and the Blue Dog coalition.

there is no necessary overlap afaik.

As long as it is recognized that overlap isn’t a necessity, I think this is fine. The important thing to remember is that none of these terms are wholly exclusive to each other. Discussion just needs to agree to the context of used terms.

Plenty of (big C) Conservatives want to conserve the social institutions of racial segregation or other regressive concepts. But you can also legitimately say Xi Xinping is a conservative in the context of the PRC. So there’s a wide field for the context of the terms to get stretched around and (mis)used and (mis)interpreted.

Liberalism too. It is a concept that has existed and been applied to right wing monarchies and left wing republics. The entire French Revolution is exemplary in how these terms have no strict limit and so a baseline of agreed context is what is necessary.

Sure. Nothing is really stopping anyone from doing that when judging a content creator. If you’re deep into wondering why he’s got so many defenders and attackers online though: he’s political. People get wrapped up in that.

There’s not a lesser of two evils argument there, so it makes sense it’d be unconvincing.

This is more of a ‘judge him by his enemies’ type thing.
