  • still people who don't understand that the "World Government" is just Europe and the US.

    which is funny because it's really pretty on the nose. i mean all the celestial dragons call themselves saint, pangaea castle is just a one-for-one copy of the chateau de chambord, a french castle, and the name of the place is marigeoise, a portmanteau of marie antoinette and bourgeoisie. just from vibes, people should be picking up on it.

  • jarul's speech got me wanting to run outside and [redact] an ice agent

  • first thing he broke being principled on that he continues to be unprincipled on. let's see if he ever actually pursues the policy that the people that respond to situations like this shouldn't be cops with guns. so far, doesn't seem great. the euthanasia of the nypd does not seem on track yet.

  • like i said, wishful. it would be nice if he could realize how weirdly contradicting the partisanship is with the rest of the rhetoric. a lot of forgiving democrats tepid climate policies. but then a lot of anger that is begging for real political education too. miniminuteman i also agree on, he's a deboonker that seems like he could really thrive in an org.

  • max lib political "education" with a dash of that breaking a bit. the

    was noticeably dissonant with the tenor of the rest of his crash out.

  • He so close to being very cool it made me wonder if he was tempering his rhetoric to be accessible to people with basically no political education, but I'm just being wishful.

  • a beanball is when the pitcher hits the batter in the head with a pitch, sometimes intentionally.

  • agreed. i call balls and strikes and the criminalization of LGBTQ+ folks was a beanball. completely unforced error that is explicitly opposed to the idea of the project in general and just hurts already marginalized people.

  • they say "hit by coups" like it's a fucking natural disaster

  • I'm no lawyer, but it feels questionable that Spotify would have the right standing to bring this lawsuit. After all, they don't own the music or the files, they license them or whatever.

  • the great chinese year of prosperity will continue. total chinese cultural victory attained.

  • yes, and. no state has a "right" to exist. people have a right to exist.

  • i miss fat pikachu

  • a self-professed liberal Zionist who has been outspoken in his criticism of the genocide in Gaza

    a contradiction in terms

  • i'm not trying to say that his words were particularly well-reasoned or even well-delivered. i was just commenting on it being interesting how the imagination of really detached people has shifted. i agree with you entirely on the actual implications of his choice of words.

  • We shouldn't infantilise men to the point of lowering the bar to who would even be able to do basic social labor.

    well sure, i think they could learn, and obviously rosa's political work was no less valuable than theirs. but the question was, which theorist would make the best roommate. and the differences in practical knowledge reproduction in europe between men and women at the time would have certainly rendered an amount of immediate (but correctable) helplessness from men that were used to all domestic labor falling under "women's work."

  • If the whole world showed up on Putin’s doorstep or the Iranians’ doorstep or in Washington, they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world].”

    just borrowed that from tocopherol's quotation a bit further down the thread.

  • i think it's kind of wild he put such a large number on the cost of said revolution. usually these sorts of pronouncements are very far away from considering the human toll that revolution will bring. interesting times.

  • not even calling an individual a zionist pig, but calling zionists in general that were all for the government making secret databases of pro-Palestine protestors that are now being used to track anti ICE protestors "rabid ultra-zionist pigs." he made jonathan greenblatt feel bad while talking about the nazi name-gathering effort, and we all know that's much more important than rights or brown people. that's why it's fine when their other large political streamers use slurs constantly and talk about all the ethnic and gender minorities they hate.
