  • On one hand i clearly agree with you about the overmedicalization issue, on the other hand there also was an undermedicalization going on for centuries, especially in the autism/ADHD/etc fields. It’s a tough balance to get, cuz the rise of diagnoses may not indicate an overmedicalization, but rather a correction of the undermedicalization (though the risk of overmed. is real, clearly).

    And on the medical condition being part of an identity, i also get your point, but it’s also important to consider that making your differences part of your identity makes perfect sense, and for a lot of people their differences come from medical conditions. Conflating the two may be slightly unhealthy, but far less than repressing it as non-subject.












  • I heard about this around Paul Watson, who is accused of “eco-fascism” because he claimed we should reduce our population by billions, and his close friendship with David Foreman, who is both very implicated in environmentalist actions and has harsh conservative views. Overall, i’ve heard that there are quite a few similar thinking individuals in Sea Shepherd.

    In an interview, Paul Watson said that “rich people just want to get richer, and poor people just want to get rich”, implying that the over-consumption by the richest parts of populations does not mean we should focus our efforts there, because “it’s human nature to consume and destroy”. I don’t know if that’s eco-fascism, but that’s precisely what this meme denounces, and it’s held by a quite important figure.

    I also heard of Edward Abbey who doesn’t promote violence directly but combines a very conservative and very environment first ideology, same as this Garrret Hardin. Both are quite influent in environmentalist activism.





  • Yup, very clever, I think this will avoid any problem with other potential AppImage processes. Thank you very much <3

    For more details : this AppRun.wrapped process is mounted in a partially randomized folder each time, something like /tmp/.mount_AntiMiXXXXXX/AppRun.wrapped, where the Xs are a bunch of random characters. So using pkill with regex can both include all versions this full command line can take, while excluding processes created by other apps (which, I suppose , won’t have ‘AntiMi’ in their folder name) : pkill -f /tmp/.mount_AntiMi.*/AppRun.wrapped



  • Most people here have insightful answers to your question, viewed from a US perspective. As awmwrites@lemmy.cafe pointed out, the notion of libertarianism is quite different between Europe and USA. It originated in Europe (i believe the first use was to criticize Proudhon’s misogyny, so a dispute between some of the first anarchists). It was then used as a synonym to anarchism, due to laws criminalizing anarchism.

    Then some (relatively) anti-State american conservatives used the word for themselves, and successfully made it so that it now defines their philosophy rather than anarchism in US. In Europe (at least in France), both ideas coexist (here we have two words, libertaire for libertarian socialisms and libertarien for libertarian capitalism). As people pointed out, the main difference is seeing economical hierarchies as good or bad.

    Nowadays in french, libertaire is not a strict synonym for anarchist, it’s rather a wide umbrella term to gather all anti-authoritarian leftist.


  • I guess you mean “without rule” as in “without people ruling” and not as “without norms”, and it is indeed correct. There is a word for “without norms”, which is anomie (at least in french).

    Also, i’d argue that states and governance inherently require permanently elevated authority, but if you meant more general meaning for those, like state as organization of masses of people and governance as common decisions for those masses, then i see your point.
