Me cracking theory and history books trying to figure out why Britney Spears is included in that lineup

I personally view it as that if you can’t allow people to see other viewpoints, then material conditions don’t matter.

New theoretical ground gets broken here every day

Might as well rename this community Qiushi

I picture lemmygrad as being the encyclopedic knowledge of Yogthos coupled with the sardonic wisdom of PolandIsAStateOfMind

I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time feudal Tibet ended up featuring in Nazi propaganda.

That, or Neturei Karta.

The weird thing is, it’s often been Jewish people who thought I was Jewish. Even when I was with a cousin of mine who’s the most stereotypical-looking midwest Norwegian-American you can think of. I guess I just have an… atmosphere?

For some weird reason, I’ve been mistaken a bunch of times for being Jewish, and have had to “come out” to multiple people on different occasions. (So far as I know, there’s nothing Jewish in my family tree).

The Biden Administration’s strategy is now to sustain Ukrainian defense until after the U.S. presidential elections

An interesting admission here. I think this is true, though the real reason has nothing to do with helping Ukraine – it’s about avoiding a political disaster for the Democrats.

Yeah, no. I’m from the states, and these Ukronazi losers can fuck off and pay their own bills. The same goes for Taiwan, Israel, and whatever other meme countries our government and ruling class – the real traitors – are supporting. Americans have their own bills to pay.

Sounds like something a fascist loser, whose country has no production of its own, would say.

Yes, I remember people talking about how Ukraine was “systematically destroying” the Russian army at Bakhmut, and how it was a meatgrinder from which Russia would never recover – in fact the opposite was true. Then (because Prigozhin) everyone was talking about corruption in the Russian military, how Putin’s hold on power was extremely fragile, etc. etc., and saying with utmost confidence that the Summer Counteroffensive (lol) would absolutely collapse that whole house of cards; Ukraine would reconquer Crimea, there would be regime change in Russia, President Navalny would oversee the “total decolonization” of Siberia (also lol). None of that happened either. Plus throughout it all, we were consistently told that if we would just give Ukraine Leopards, Abrams, F-16s, HIMARS, Javelins, Patriot systems, Challengers, cluster bombs, horcruxes, baatleths, sticks and stones, and of course more of that sweet, sweet US taxpayer money, those plucky Ukrainian would beat the Russians in no time whatsoever. Western governments absolutely thought Ukraine could win, and some of the (particularly Britain) are still clinging to that illusion.

My partner and I are anarchists

Ah, now it makes sense.

1460

As a supporter of Ukraine, don’t you mean 1488?

To be fair, “fiery” is not exactly a good description of the boring-ass speeches these geriatric Dem politicians give.

“Is this rare fruit fly the reason why Africa is underdeveloped?”

This is not quite the insult you think it is.

Exactly, losers hate winners.

Because le epic former redditors are mad that Russian firepower made the invincible Leopard tank look like this almost as soon as it reached the battlefield.

Also because Beijing and Detroit look like this and this, respectively.

I’ve probably gotten further into Das Capital than you have

Apparently not far enough to be able to spell the German title correctly.

It kind of depends. I was mainly active on r/genzedong and (very occasionally) r/sino, so a notif usually meant either “a comrade replying” or “some dumb butthurt lib about to get dunked on – BATTLE IS JOINED!”

A DM, on the other hand, was almost always some coward who was afraid for his karma and didn’t want to engage publicly.
