    • Lenin - Thunderdome Hasan. Greyname crucifixion somehow even more common. Chat is either blocks of text, ragebait/ignoranceposting, hyperlinks, or emote spam.
    • Marx - honestly I don’t have much differentiation from Lenin here. Maybe a bit less aggro? In this instance, Marx may be closer to Hasan and Lenin closer to B**E*******[1] in terms of vibes/conduct
    • Stalin - Chill vibes, kinda just reading books at you and answering chat questions. Strict moderation. Chat is pretty academic-leaning due to everyone else getting filtered out by the content or by the mods.
    • Mao - Bar-for-bar Northernlion and beat-for-beat his chat.

    1. I refuse to denigrate Lenin by leaving that comparison without disclaimer. Lenin differs here as he had actual substantive and grounded beliefs guiding him. ↩︎


  • realpolitik-wrapped cowardice at best, careerist nihilism at worst. For someone even nominally trying to combat landlordism, this is a move that empowers their greatest baked-in threat. Further emiserating evictees while holding “speak bitterness”-esque hearings is Peak Socdem Behavior.

    As a current member of DSA (kinda flirting with PSL tbh atp) they seem to have no recourse to hold their figureheads to the party line. As of now, it’s a launching platform for left-flank liberals to get their feet off the ground in politics. What is their plan after the elections if someone sells out?



  • doing some introspection. I think all of my whims creatively gravitate inexorably towards my white whale of a fictitious grappling with What Is To Be Done in an interactive medium (game/VN/etc.) that sort of walks you along the Burning Questions of Our Movement and the Approaches One May Consider When Contemplating Them.

    my toxic idealist delusion is that if I can Lock In and It Bangs this will smuggle vanguardism/dual power into the collective consciousness in the same way that people work off of shit like Harry Potter or Marvel movies for their ideological framework. e.g. for communist ideas, that Joyce quote spreading past Disco Elysium and giving a slice of recuperation for the masses to reference.




















  • Conflation of sign (yes) and confirmation (no). yeah there were some people who Epstein talked to or talked about that were not involved in his conspiracy. presence in the files, however, is a lead on potential parties involved in the wrongdoing, and should incite proper investigations.

    nice trick Rupert, really working the pen on this one.
