I got a lib to reveal they thought Hitler got in power because people didn't vote against him. I got another lib to say that my criticisms were good but they wanted an actionable plan, to which I responded with links to What is to be Done and State and Revolution. I was otherwise just running laps in that thread...

All that dunking will be lost like tears in the rain.

I wanted to bait some people in the thread by telling them I voted for Claudia de la Cruz and prompt them to scold me, just for me to tell them that in Puerto Rico our vote was purely symbolic and their country is still a colonialist hellhole, but the post was removed

I got that person good but they removed the post ggs

The mods removed the post because I was posting too hard. I was styling on them.

I may have left like 30 comments in that thread by now.

It means the thing from the liberal Elmo bit. "Ideologically speaking, because I'm a good person, I don't want to call the police on you. But push comes to shove, I will and I have. I already did"

Epsteinsitos, Epsteinsotes

I think it might be too common of a last name and too specifically Jewish for me to stick to this bit but in another life it would go hard.

Was playing some Hollow Knight and beat Radiant Nightmare King Grimm, White Defender, and Failed Champion. A bunch of other easy ones too (don't ask how many attempts Vengefly King and Flukemarm took ). Probably won't be able to do much more for a while but I intend to try my best to finish all bosses at Radiant and doing Pantheon 5 before moving on to Silksong.

Not looking forward to Sly and Markoth.

Who's Curtis Yarvin for women?

tldr the kind of repression and state control that @ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de notes in Cuba as disqualifying it from the label of 'socialism' and making it 'communism' instead are actually the precise things that make Cuba a socialist state, as opposed to a communist post-state society.

It's an error to just use the words like 'socialism' = 'cool and good' while 'communism' = 'bad and scary' because that's just 2nd grade tier analysis that doesn't clear anything up at all, and just confuses you further.

One thing that's worth noting is that Israel and the US are the two countries that voted against making food a human right at the UN and both are actively committing genocide via starvation.

These two processes are actually intrinsically connected and are part of a broader strategy I fear is only going to see more examples as climate collapse plays out. There's going to be more groups that the imperialist powers will want to wipe out and ecosystem collapse will cause famines that a blockade can escalate into a mass death event.

That's not how it works. If there's an organized effort to exterminate a group of people because of their immutable characteristics (in this case nationality) it's genocide. You can be guilty of the crime of genocide even if you don't kill a single person. The US embargo absolutely meets the criteria and has already caused thousands of excess deaths (as well as underdevelopment) over the course of decades. It's like Gaza, blocking off a group of millions of people from being able to get anything from the rest of the world and restricting the flow of basic necessities. They don't have to kill any specific number of people for that to count as genocide, it just is.

There was also a famine in the 30s in Kazakhstan, not just Ukraine. A similar number of people died.

No one's asking you to loop up to him or look down on him. Hell, you just gotta look straight across at him, we're all on a flat plane.

Didn't he say he heard nothing but great things?

And if they don't get the car or the car is incapable of driving, they blame another customer at the dealership who was trying to buy an EV.

But the heroine of the story is digging underneath the dealership (perhaps Hamas style) and building a metro system.

In a world where leftists were actually universally super intelligent people who always had sharp media literacy skills and didn't fall for the satire it would be funny. But I see so many people fall for it every time that it just depresses me and the main function of that account has been to make me feel bad.

Well he is creating something new and very annoying
