Notice the time lag between the events of 1936 and the realization that the Soviets were “wag[ing] a war against the Anarchists.”

That's not correct. If the Comintern Parties[^note1] and their comissaries were waging a war into the anti-fascist forces, were against other communists: mostly against the POUM and troskist.

The POUM (Partit Obrer d'unificació Marxista / Workers Party of Marxist Unification), the group where George Orwell joined, was a non-troskist Marxist-Leninist Party, which wanted to do the revolution at the same time as overcoming fascism, i.e. the same strategy that the anarchists of the FAI (Federació Anarquista Ibèrica / Iberian Anarchist Federation) and CNT (Confederació Nacional del Treball / National Confederation of Labor).

The POUM was banned (accused of collaboration with fascism) and its leader Andreu Nin disappeared.  Until the 90s, with the declassification of KGB documentation, it was not known what had happened to him: he was detained, tortured and murdered by the NKVD without having 'confessed' to any crime.

I do not deny that there was persecution against anarchists, but I do deny the degree of animosity towards them that anarchist historiography often presents. The greatest ideological "danger" of the Comintern, those against whom they showed the greatest animosity within the anti-fascist bloc, were not the anarchists, nor the majority socialist party, nor the petty-bourgeois parties... they were other communists who do not share their positions.

[^note1]: PCE (Partit Comunista d'Espanya / Communist Party of Spain) and PSUC (Partit Socialista Unificat de Catalunya / Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia).

In Spanish is called capacitismo, discrimination against people with disability.

To pay for sex is a form of exploiting; the consent is not really free. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and I think that the exploitation of sex workers is one of the worst.

But morale is very subjective, and sex work is a very complex matter, where a lot of people, most of them women, work in very dangerous conditions and in situations of extreme need.

Debian has a list of vendors who sell it in a media (USB, DVD...), some of them also sell other distros.

Edit: community typo corrected

No, you can use the debian installer without non-free-firmware (which by DFSG include firmware with binary blobs).

From that thread:

"Users who wish to disable firmware lookup entirely can do so by setting the firmware=never boot parameter. It's an alias for the longer hw-detect/firmware-lookup=never form."

I'm also interested in re-federating with Lemmygrad, speaking for my bot account, [email protected], and the Lemmy.world community I moderate.

I can't understand the lemmy.world admins position on Lemmygrad, Hexbear and Threads/Meta. Lemmy.world has defederated with the first two, but has stated that he wants to stay federated with Meta.

Meta has exploited people's posts to incite genocide ^1 and has been ignoring internal concerns about suicide risks for its users ^2 ^3 incentivized by its engagement algorithms. Meta's greed is more important to Meta than the health of its users, which is a structural and moral problem, at least to me. And let Meta use the posts of lemmy.world users for their greed, or to incite more genocides, or to try to destroy the sanity of more users, or… it makes me sick.

But with Lemmygrand and Hexbear, it's only a philosophical or ideological issue between users and, at worst, a style or behavior concern. In any case, it can be easily moderated.
