  • critical support,

    , all that. this is objectively good and productive. i also wish he was a vanguardist.

  • Suspicious that they love Israel so much but don't want to move there.

  • I find this explanation highly suspect on its own given the extreme extent to which horse bloodlines are already tracked.

  • That's the only possibility that makes sense to me really.

  • Piker is only a grifter if you're of the mind that doing political commentary at all is a grift. I genuinely don't understand where this weird accusation comes from. The guy essentially advocates the hexbear party line: pro China, pro Cuba, pro DPRK, pro Palestine and Palestinian resistance movements, pro Ansar Allah anti-Zionist action, etc. He's one of the primary voices that effectively never goes along with state department narratives, and that's to an audience of baby leftists who have heads full of brain worms. I'm not saying he's perfect or something, but he's about as good as you can get without him joining PSL. Maybe someone can explain to me how his project is a grift.

  • Great Poseidon, hear my prayers for tsunami

  • So they're working as intended to help facilitate the slide into monopoly capitalism?

  • I think this one was in Hakim's recent video about theory recommendations, and I downloaded it to read. Might move it to the top of the list.

  • Yeah, I'd say that's one of the occasions where the message absolutely gets flubbed by an idealist ending. At the very least, the colonizers also have to change their ways, but it's still flubbed.

  • Yerp, definitely not lacking in some of the annoying problematic shit. But at least it's demonstrably pro liberation and pro queer revolutionary army. Attack On Titan is my go to example of an explicitly fascist anime.

  • There is also One Piece, which has its own problematic elements, but doing blood libels isn't part of them. Pretty anti imperialist overall. Situation again of a guy that thinks communists are really cool though.

  • Most literate amerikkkan

  • I don't agree with your overall take on this matter of socialization, as we've established, but I concur that this Sidis guy seems like a pretty cool dude who had his life figured out and I have no goddamn clue what the person you're talking to thinks they're getting at lmao. Really wild to see someone get so heated about being asked to just state their opinion.

  • Oh don't get me wrong, I drink the coffee. I feel bad throwing away something the zapatistas worked to make.

  • Learning how to navigate mutual misunderstanding productively and non violently is one of the most important aspects of socialization. Those misunderstandings are the development.

  • I make five cups on my coffee maker and that fills my mug exactly twice, and it's perfect.

  • Yeah, that isn't how a person learns to deal with the emotions of life. This child will never know how to interact normally with people that don't have a PhD and are at an academic conference.

  • Well I'm asking you about your own beliefs so why are you asking me? Or are you doing a thing where I didn't capitalize god or something so you're pretending to not know if I mean the god of abraham

  • It's usually all the things you mentioned, no interest in socializing the child with humans their own age, and parents that are also PhD havers. Most prodigies have some unusual access to a very learned person in the field they end up a prodigy.
