    I'm so happy they're being trashed on here. I'm not so clued in, but 3 years ago WSWS had fucking spies in my union exploratory committee (we didn't have a union yet) and wrote a bunch of articles about how we were all hacks & a wing of the democratic party. I mean some points they made were valid, but fully trashing a unionization effort in the US is some dumb ultra left shit.

    Are Trots ever not obnoxious? Like I dont care what you think of Trotsky and his theory, some of what he wrote is good imho, jokes about him getting assassinated are fucking funny.

      The best trots quit calling themselves trotskyists for the most part. Haymarket books is "technically" run by trots and they're great. A lot of the good trotskyists in the ISO actually joined dsa after dissolving due to leadership abuse problems.

      The only Trotskyist I knew in college ended up graduating and then disappearing for a decade.

      He popped back up at our 10 year college reunion with tertiary syphilis scars, a skin cancer level tan, and a put-on Australian accent. Never did see or hear from him again.

      Don't insult Harland Sanders that way. He was a real man, not like the rest of the fast food mascots. Colonel wasn't a marketing term either, he was a real Kentucky Colonel, and he was awarded that honor long before starting KFC. He got it for outstanding humanitarianism.

      For a long read about this amazing man's full life, try here: https://www.damninteresting.com/colonels-of-truth/

      One day in the early 1930s, Josephine and Margaret Sanders were beginning to wonder what was keeping Harland away so long. Last they had seen him, he was riding a mule up the mountain in a downpour, carrying an old lard bucket filled with bandages, scissors, antiseptics, and rubber gloves. He was en route to a nearby Appalachian community which lacked electricity, roads, indoor plumbing, and other modern conveniences. From time to time Sanders brought the families there free food, including full Thanksgiving spreads for entire towns, but most urgently the people needed medical care. He had been summoned because one of the townswomen had gone into labor. Having three children, Sanders had a little experience with childbirth, so he had become a self-styled amateur midwife. But this outing was taking much longer than normal.

      Harland interrupted his wife and daughter’s worrying when he burst into the apartment and grabbed his trusty shotgun he kept behind the front door. He explained that it might be necessary to use a little “persuasion.” The baby wasn’t in the proper position in the womb, requiring more experienced intervention. But the allegedly drunken doctor was refusing to go, Hippocrates be damned. Shortly the doctor was appropriately persuaded, and he was seen riding up the mountain astride a wet mule. The doctor manually adjusted the baby’s position, and the delivery proceeded smoothly. The parents named their new son “Harland.”

      In 1935 or 1936, in recognition of Sanders’ midwifery work, food donations, and his regular shuttling of townsfolk to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings2, Kentucky governor Ruby Laffoon commissioned Harland Sanders as a “Kentucky Colonel,” the highest title of honor bestowed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

      There are some weird electrical boxes in my city (the kind next to stop lights) that have been “graffitied” with wsws and globalresearch[dot]ca, which appears to be like panama papers type shit and also covid conspiracies.

      Sigh...
