  • The democratic party has been developing multiple internal layers of protection from progressives since before the red scare. Anyone hoping to change the DNC from within should at least read up on every failed attempt for the past +50 years.

  • The take over was in 2021: https://pdamerica.org/bernie-activists-take-over-nevada-democratic-party/

    2016 was when the party ratfucked berniecrats delegates at a convention. In 2021, berniecrats the progressives took over the state party:

    Whitmer and her team are in the process of reorganizing the state party apparatus. The party moderates, anticipating their loss, moved $450,000 out of the party’s treasury and into the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s account. The former party staff resigned en masse on March 8th.

  • DSA libs essentially took over the NV Dems in 2016

    Those were the Berniecrats not the DSA. Many of those Berniecrats would've fled to the DSA by 2017 though. One of those 2016 NV bernie delegates even joined my chapter. Perfectly nice socdem church lady but was forever pissed at the democrats.

    Edit: actually I think your year is wrong, 2021 would've been the takeover and was DSA+libs. 2016 was the primary delegate ratfucking.

  • The forum structure of /c/mutual_aid means it functions like a charity market. All the issues we have were already addressed by sites like GoFundMe. Either force users to use sites like GoFundMe or start writing their systems into hexbear's codebase.

    We can self crit all we want over it but in the end its a software issue.

    • get on board for revolution
    • read up on theory
    • learn about the mass line
    • do mass line
    • masses demand reform.

    Gotta square this circle. You definitely don't want to go down the track of being co-opted by democrats. But you absolutely cannot mobilize the masses by just telling them "wait for the revolution".

  • Live fire on protestors is basically the one thing guaranteed to break the illusion for liberals. Many would be radicalized, even the most centrist would be pissed. Obviously many conservatives would go mask off. The question is who outnumbers who.

    There is a real reason why police everywhere use "less than lethal" weapons these days. Mass violence against protestors in the streets has almost always resulted in more protestors.

    That said, its all about optics. They could gun down the migrant caravan and nothing would happen. And if a dem was the president at the time, they might ignore it.

  • People need to stop arguing against material reality for the sake of political expediency. I know it would be nice if Palestine really was the reason she Kamala lost. But it wasn't and you can't removedthe democrats into believing it.

  • Well, half of it is as a catch-all term for bullshit business that generates money without actually adding value to society.

    It makes sense if you're deliberately using it as mystical buzzword that you're not supposed to understand.

    The kind of vague money making you get from Salesforce and that kind of business The other half is that it's businesses selling eyes and clicks to other businesses

    You straight up just don't know what Business to Business Software as a Service actually is. Salesforce itself is B2B SaaS. Its when you actually deliver a service to another company in the form of access to your website. This includes giants like Google Suite, AWS, GitHub. But the classic example is when you have a "pricing" that will usually have 3-4 tiers:

    • Free
    • Personal
    • Team
    • Enterprise

    See an example here. There's such a myriad of these with made up names, and look alike websites that they all blur together but they are by definition not ad based because they make money by having another business pay them for their service. Hence B2B.

    Selling and buying ad space would be offered through a market that's B2B SaaS. However a place that where the ads are is consumer facing and not B2B by definition. Social Media and SEO slop are consumer facing and make money via ads.

  • Idk why you're mentioning B2B SaaS here when that's basically the opposite of ad based internet and is definitely here to stay.

    Ad based internet has been well known to be a waste since its inception but keep kept pushing it for decades. The question is when will the floor actually get pulled out and why hasn't it already?

    If I can get a little tinfoil here: I suspect that advertising and consumer tracking businesses kept getting investors because those investors would eat a loss to acquire the surveillance, analytics, technology and infrastructure produced by those companies.
