Look I don't mean to start anything but if you think defending Che Guevara or Fidel Castro makes someone a "tankie", you're a shitlib still clinging to utmost flimsiest of red scare propaganda.
Defending two of the most successful socialist revolutionaries is called being a socialist.
I think we really need to do work in educating baby socialists about Che and Castro.
I mean yeah, also tankie is a fucking meaningless word. it's just I've seen a few "anarchists" repeat literal CIA propaganda about Cuba and its dumb and misguided.
I have finally found a way to soothe the cognitive dissonance of hating America while also thinking they have pretty cool tanks
Oh man I've had to deal with that one. Castro definitely had some homophobic rules on the book (something he regretted and atoned for(not that that absolves him of guilt)). Yet he was still more LGBT friendly (far earlier too) than every western leader.
Broke: criticising Che for being a “tankie”
Woke: criticising Che for adventurism
I got a graphic novel of his biography, it's great. I highly recommend it.
Che, A Revolutionary Life - Jon Lee Anderson & Jose Hernandez
I got Castro's autobiography next.
Chud in my discord used the phrase, "CIA backed communist coup" and that's a new one for me.
all i know is shit post, eat hot chip, get frisky in the burnt out shell of the policestate apparatus, and lie
I wanted to make a thread about Stalin interview with H.G.Wells. It showcases that liberal arguments against left has barely changed in almost a century. Has a classics like class arguments are too reductionist and simplistic and that modern world no longer needing violent leftist propaganda and methods and all could be resolved peacefully (which is especially hilarious in the context of the world in the 30ties). Also Wells basically thinks that socialism (or more like social democracy) will become a reality soon in the western world.
Also Wells calls Stalin a lib in it: "Under these circumstances, it seems to me, we must not bring to the forefront the antagonism between the two worlds, but should strive to combine all the constructive movements, all the constructive forces in one line as much as possible. It seems to me that I am more to the Left than you, Mr. Stalin; I think the old system is nearer to its end than you think. "

Love having hypothetical arguments in my head with imaginary versions of people and then getting mad about it.
Yeah I'm just chillin kinda bored and then my brain is all hey you haven't been really mad at your mom in a while let's fix that real quick
On the upside I'm recognizing, catching it, and stopping myself during instead of after the fact now
smoking hookah and drinking beers with my ex and he's telling me about this white dude he's seeing and he's like "yeah, so he told me that if I got pregnant, it would be because of all those black men I'm sleeping with" and the blatant racism is sending me. he's like "yeah, but he's a liberal" and I didn't know what to say to that so I went with "well, yeah, that's the problem." from what I can tell after probing a little more there's a whole cuckoldry thing going on and it's super fucking creepy because it doesn't sound consensual, but my ex is getting blamed for being uncomfortable with it.
why are white dudes?
why are white dudes?
Idk I was born this way. I have to assume I am God's instrument through which he punishes the world
everything about this sounds awful and i hope it stops being that.
why is cuckoldry a thing? what even is this nonconsensual polyamory fetish and why is it always racist?
why are white dudes? big mood 😔
White Supremacy has always positioned black people as in some way hyper-sexual. Most of southern white supremacy is justified as being about protecting white women from black men on the grounds that black men are either all rapists, or that they're all so sexy that white women will throw themselves at black men, thus cucking the white male population. It's about as fucking bizarre and bad as any other part of white supremacy.
oh i get it, i just dont get why its a thing. how it is so accepted as just another wacky wavy arm flailing inflatable fetish amongst people when it should be derided as the weird racist shit it is
why is cuckoldry a thing? what even is this nonconsensual polyamory fetish and why is it always racist?
because libs fetishize race? idk. every time I hear about this shit I always feel like burning everything down. and I feel insane because it never feels like other people are there with me.
right? thats what im saying. how are people in general not disgusted by this shit? just boggles my fuckin mind.
its like when people chortle about female teachers abusing their students, or have a laugh about sexual violence in prisons, or any number of other wildly obviously disgusting things... but somehow society at large is just having a giggle about it
why are white dudes?
We're not sure but it may have something to do with cows.
Because awhile back two honkies (my folks) said, "It's the 90s, what could go wrong?" and had a kid, and now he's me.
why are white dudes?
Have you seen Alien Covenant? I think it went something like that.
Imagine being a person under the age of 30 and complaining about the destruction of the nuclear family. That’s so lame, lol.
A lot of kids have divorced parents. You can see the economic effects of that as a kid. I think that kind of thing sticks with us.
hey there smoothskin, concerned about the nuclear family going bust? well shut the fuck up, youre a disgusting smoothskinned incel no ghoul was ever going to consent to raising a real nuclear family with anyways. /g*mer memes in progress
If I spent as much time learning how to draw as I do complaining about not being able to draw I'd probably be able to draw by now.
The good news is that even if you learn to draw, you’ll probably still spend too much time complaining about how you can’t draw well enough.
Cars are cool.
The mass production of the car was invented by the Nazi Henry Ford, and is therefore fascist.
Yes, I know this is my dumbest take.
Cars are cool and we shouldn't have designed many modern societies to require owning one in order to have access to our communities
FUCK CAR SOCIETY I HAVE TOO MUCH ANXIETY TO DRIVE AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING FUUUUCK
Imagining a world where cars are treated like guns where adult men are forced to pretend they're useful tools and not just large toys that are cool to have. Wait that's just pick up truck culture
Cars and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race
unironically
Every single cishet male friend I've had has done this to me. Yes, even though I'm a lesbian. I have to cut them off when they start making moves and it has sucked every time, now I have zero heterosexual male friends despite my best efforts. It's almost always because they don't have any emotionally supportive platonic relationships (or not enough of them) and/or they have low self esteem.
that sucks. i think its mostly an issue amongst cishet folks due to the culture of viewing platonic relationships between genders as a thing that can only lead to sex being particularly prevalent amongst them. ive had this issue crop up with folks who couldnt see past my physical presentation, and thus decided for me that i was interested romantically, because obviously i had to be, why wouldnt i be, are they not good enough for me, etc
and honestly it wouldnt even be an issue if people could just handle rejection.
it sucks, and we all deserve more friends
men don’t know how to treat affection as anything other than sexual interest. If women are sexually or physically attracted to you, they’ll let you know, so just find the person who wants you and want them back.
So I just bothered to check what my ballot's gonna look like for the 2020 election. Literally Biden, Trump, Jorgensen. So my vote's a write-in regardless of who I choose.
Who should it be?
I think this was my leading silly write-in. It was either gonna be this or Hillary Clinton as someone else suggested in this thread. Now I just can't decide whether to embrace silliness or just vote Gloria La Riva
