  • It reminds me about how Zionists at a local college strongarmed the school to serve “Israeli salad” with a giant flag on it at every mealhall and students just don’t eat it and the school just has to throw it in the garbage all the time.

  • There’s plenty of sticks, like anything that supports Google TV, where you can use piracy software.

  • Even if it’s only a half-assed attempt at a boycott, it is a positive development as everyone is too cowardly to be the first ones.

  • What would a “Cuban oligarch” even look like?

  • What? That pikachu thing? Like Detective Pikachu I think?

  • Why would Putin accept a ceasefire? He might as well keep pushing until he wins.

  • What’s this purple cat nonsense?

  • You’re subject to the conditions of the world/country/city etc that you live in. Don’t believe capitalist propaganda, communism isn’t a vow of poverty. In the US the conditions still aren’t at the level (but things are rapidly moving) of the usefulness of a Vanguard Party but the Empire is punch drunk with multiple major wars lost, a declining economy, and a government increasingly desperate to keep things together through force.

    For now, educate yourself and link up with entities that seek relief for what is possible in this poisoned nation.

  • You cannot vote revolution into power in a liberal system. Full fucking stop.

    The most important role that he plays is moving the Overton Window, that alone is much more important than anything he actually achieves. Just him refusing to “recognize Israel as a Jewish state”, claims he doesn’t like capitalism and literally just being Muslim has shifted the narrative over what is permissible in the eyes of normies. And NYC is front and center in the US, this isn’t Hoof Hearted, Kansas.

    So I’m willing to say his election is of massive importance, even if what he actually accomplishes is lackluster.

  • However NYC has a history of politicians becoming independents. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do him dirty, he’ll join the Working Families Party which in NY is an important third party.

  • Tbf, the Democrats had until June 24th to change their candidate, in theory it’s already over. But we all know how these things are… Mamdani was lucky that polls actually seriously underestimated his support, with reports of many “shy Mamdani voters” skewing results.

    I think it’s more likely they’re just going to go all in on supporting Adam’s independent run as the “enlightened centrist”.

  • The issue is that Western “democracy” is a smokescreen, you’re allowed to criticize it as long as you don’t try to change anything nor condemn it very hard or very publicly.

  • PewDiePie (especially at the beginning) started the trend of screaming a lot in his videos, and then kids channels did it to get more engagement and now it’s just become a staple on all of YouTube, look at all content creators and they’re basically always shouting at the top of their lungs.

    Several YouTubers like HuskyStarcraft and Jacksepticeye hurt their vocal cords and had to moderate their speaking and lost a ton of viewers, with the former straight up deleting his channel because people seem to not want to watch them without the screaming.

  • I have a theory: Just do sports, don’t lift, at least not as your main form of exercise. I have always felt that women can somehow smell it on the guys, I dunno.

    The funny thing is that while most male Americans (and increasingly Westerners in general) are fat (which isn’t attractive to most straight women) the maximum body for getting the ladyfolk is not that much muscle and you should be slightly underweight but not shredded.

    The biggest thing about a great physique for attracting mates is confidence, and for men, the toxic gym culture ends up creating a really fucked up body dysmorphia. I worked at the university gym during college and let me tell you the bizarre things I heard… like some guy refusing to go ask a woman out that was sending him all the signs of attraction because he was too embarrassed that his calf muscles were too small or upset that his lats weren’t looking better.

  • It’s truly incredible how Israel is making the same exact mistakes that the US after 9-11.

  • You guys, gals and theys need to work on your reading comprehension. I didn’t say I refuse to discount Bernie broadly (I do), however he has fed many into a communist pipeline (even if that isn’t his intention) and that should be recognized.

    Work on your nuance, please. Thank you.

  • I refuse to discount Bernie (and to a lesser degree AOC) on one major thing, Bernie has been a “gateway drug” for many actual leftists, myself included… even if he himself is a mushy socdem.

  • I think we're very close to another Kent State Massacre, but I doubt the outrage will be even a fraction of what it was last time.

  • The worst thing is that as things currently stand, Ben Gvir has a decent chance at becoming Prime Minister after Bennie. And unlike Netanyahu, he doesn’t even care to hide being an absolute hyper-religious Zionist psychopath.

    He openly admits to supporting torture and execution of Gentiles.
