Nothing happened in tianenmen square in 1984.

The protests were 5 years later in 1989 lmao so you really can say “nothing happened in tianenmen square then” in this case

MFW citing a united nations report on israel using white phospohorus against civilians makes me an anti semite

"Cites the united nations" lmao is this satire?

We went full circle, naming the site hexbear to distance ourselves from chapo and now chapo becomes the main comm

You could try making a new Russian steam account then cashing the key there and using steam share, which allows you to share games between accounts on the same computer.

I don’t really mess with drugs, though I don’t care if other people do as long as they aren’t smoking obnoxiously near me or letting it affect their life and mine. I just know I have an addictive type personality so I don’t drink, smoke or do any of that stuff. I drink enough soda (3 times a week usually) and spend enough time on my phone or computer to want to introduce that kind of thing in my life. Even though weed isn’t really addictive it’s more of a personality thing than a medical thing, I think.

Rise of skywalker was just horrible. Absolutely awful

Last Jedi wasn’t a great movie by any metric but it was far more hated than it should have been. The rise of sky walker was a fucking garbage pile of a movie yet audiences liked it? Wtf

Stupidity of assigning borders to a differently shaped landmass aside, it’s not a bad idea in that it’s easy to see exactly how the land has moved over time. Interesting map.

Holy shit, I mean it’s one thing to appreciate socialist market economies but it’s another entirely to be a self proclaimed “socialist” and also be literally incapable of imagining a society without markets

radicalize them through the harsh realities of the kpop industry then immediately bombard them with Lenin quotes about exploitation lmao

The thing is this was before the party switch but even switching the party names around the sentiment is still accurate

On severe problem I see is that this argues at one point that overall price DECREASES across the board with subsequent wage decreases are actually a good thing. This is just absolutely wrong. First, the amount of labour performed in america has only increased while wages stagnated. That has been the root of many problems. So what this assumes is that capitalists are going to take the hits first while the workers reap the benefits of recieving lower wages as the value of products also goes down. This obviously just isn't the case, and I shouldn't have to explain why, but i'll briefly summarize by saying that the rate of inflation won't slow down nearly fast enough, so capitalists are gonna end up laying off workers and reducing wages faster than the price of the product falls in order to keep profit margins high. It isn't rocket science to say across-the-board pay decreases is a bad thing.

Science, technology, engineering, mathematics. Linguistics is usually considered a humanity which is technically an art. However it's definitely bordering the two concepts, similarly to History, Poli Sci or Psychology

I’m not 100 percent sure. All I know is that now the area is called Xinjiang, so if this map is from the future, why would it be called sinkiang? Even if it’s a correct name from the past it wouldn’t make sense to use it for the future unless your only source of geography is hoi4

Pretty sure the ham wasn’t green, just the eggs. Bit of an inaccuracy there to have a green pig like in angry birds.

Edit: nvm both were green lol. Misremembered I suppose

Sinkiang too instead of Xinjiang. I like the game but my god, it is not a completely accurate source for any information pertaining to the non western countries at all, far from it in fact.

Hey I made that thread. And honestly overall I was happy with the discourse that went down. I didn’t really see that much reactionary stuff going on, frankly.

Yeah, I agree. There is a context to herge’s racism against Japan and he did some positive portrayals of indigenous Americans. But the Congo is straight up racist. And a lesser known one is the virulent antisemitism in a few panels of the one comic whose name I forget, the shooting star I think, with the mushroom on the cover. Herge wrote it while Germany was occupying Belgium so he just wrote it to be antisemitic and portray the Americans as evil, which, the latter is alright but for the wrong reasons.

They are independent pics from this video made by BBC, a network often trusted by libs. So it’s actually a great source to use.
