Both are social constructs.
For example: the mammals class of animals is a social construct, While mammals would still have characteristics like being warm blooded, or not laying eggs, the classification wouldn’t exist if people didn’t invent it.
Its also not a perfect classification, platypuses lay eggs but are still classified as mammals.

Sex is the same, its people who have certain hormones, certain chromosomes or certain genetailia, but there can be people who don’t have the “Proper” chromosome / hormone for their sex, but they still are classified as male/female.

I think its important to look at what purpose a social construct serves, Mammals are a social construct, but they still serve a useful purpose (not saying sex/gender serves / doesn’t serve a useful purpose).

I see it like colours, there is an infinite amount of colours, but it makes sense to have a name for the common ones.

Glitch-Soc is still around?

If you’re very paranoid, try flashing a custom ROM to it.

I remember there used to be images to trick t-shirt bots, in a bid to get the companies behind them sued by disney.

I think screens are capable of breaking on all phones.

I have an analog alarm, and when ever I hear an old fashioned phone ringing I get a rush of adrenaline and a feeling of existensial dread.

You can unlock the bootloader of almost any phone in the EU.

Now, there will be literally no custom firmware for it, but its still possible.

My original point was that leftism isn’t linear, and that marxism-leninism and anarchism are quite different.

I typically recommend those users other instances which don’t federate with hexbear.

They are pro-ai-the-technology, they’re not on board with the big Ai companies.

I should have used the word society instead of state.

Sure, but I think you’re both missing why I brought up the political compass, to make a distinction between libertarian leftism, and authoritarian leftism.

It does appear that way, and there are some cases of it happening, but doesn’t servers blocking hexbear solve the problem of people complaining about it, for people on hexbear?

lemmy.zip is good.

In a neoliberal sense, kinda, but those are really just shifting who is oppressing people to capitalists.

Would you call communist states (an oxymoron, I know) instruments of class opression?

All governments are authoritiarian, but to what extent?

I more-meant the difference between the libertarian and authoritarian right/left, its a useful distinction to have.

Auth-right would be fascism.

I wanted to point out that, even though they are authoritarian, they are still leftist. The Political Compass adds a bit of nuance, so there can be a distinction.

Yeah, lemmy.zip is great.

Shit on the political compass all you want, it does help bring a bit of nuance into discussions like this:
