/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • The bourgeoisie have class solidarity and are fighting a class war, so conspiracy is just a natural progression.

  • Klobuchar Standard English let's goooo

  • The Panthers were pretty explicitly pro-China, pro-Vietnam, and pro-DPRK. That alone is enough for them to be smeared as "tankies" by Western so-called leftists.

  • There's an interesting assumption going on here.

    You seem to believe that everyone wants to go to lavish rape parties, and the only thing stopping them is a lack of power.

    Why is that?

  • Bold of you to assume they thought about this at all!

  • That's actually the line being pushed right now:

    'The Holocaust was the murder of six million Jewish men, women and children. 'Ignoring that the victims were Jews, widening the figure to include all victims of the Second World War, or attempting to draw in contemporary conflicts, is an abuse of the memory of the Holocaust and an insult to victims and survivors. It comes after outgoing BBC director-general Tim Davie in December ordered all staff to complete a training course on antisemitism 'Any attempt to dilute the Holocaust, strip it of its Jewish specificity, or compare it to contemporary events is unacceptable on any day. On Holocaust Memorial Day, it is especially hurtful, disrespectful and wrong.'

  • Did I say nuclear was bad?

    I said that nuclear is inferior, and it is. It will play a minor role in the transition, the hype generated by techbros around nuclear is vastly overblown. The main advantages that nuclear has is that enriching uranium is also important for producing medical isotopes, for nuclear submarines and nuclear-powered satellites/spacecraft, and the process is similar for making bombs. Solar can't do any of that.

    But there's a reason that nuclear will always lag behind, at least enriched uranium reactors. It's extremely expensive and it's comparatively not as good at the primary task of generating power for the cost it has.

    Now if thorium reactors could ever get off the ground that would be interesting.

  • They're good at what made them rich and powerful! They're not good at much else, they're not smart about much else, and they can't really do much else. But! They're still they're very good at what they do, and they love doing it.

    They have a specialized set of skills and interests that revolve around making money and gaining influence/power.

    Your enemies aren't dummies, that's why they win. Stop underestimating them. They're gonna fucking kill us all.

  • They think they're helping domestic industry, but they're just ensuring that China dominates solar power for the next century.

  • Yeah it's called Reddit.

  • My exposure to vegemite is that once, as a child, I mistook it for a really dark jam.

    There's no coming back from that.

  • Yeah I'm in the same place. I have no advice, just solidarity.

  • They don't want IMAX in your living room, they want IMAX in the IMAX theater, where you pay a premium for their service.

  • It's popular among his base!

    There is, in fact, a solid core of Trump supporters who really believe he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and really believe he's solved 8+ wars and that he's a peacetime president. They're not the majority but I don't see how it's useful to deny the fact that these people exist. He's still losing support, but that also demonstrates that he still has support left to lose.

  • Santa represents the transnational imperialists, the elves are his superexploited workforce, and the good children live in the imperial core. Christmas is the redistribution of superprofits to placate the core with handouts, which Santa can take away if they're "bad".

    Death to KKKristmas and death to SSanta KKKlaus!

  • A lot of them think Trump "solved" the conflict, you can't just ignore this.

    It's one of the reasons he keeps demanding a peace prize, his little pig cult believes it.

  • You're following normal people. Are you actively following rightoid freaks?

  • Well sure, there's wider context behind J6 as a single flash point, but I don't think you should overlook the event itself. It's the most successful single day of protest that I can think of - yeah they got arrested and jailed for a while, but in the end they got literally everything they wanted and were entirely vindicated. The J6ers were transformed into political prisoners and martyrs, becoming a rallying flag for their movement. I think Trump's victory owes a lot to their contribution.

  • J6 has been the most successful US political movement in my lifetime

    A recent argument forced me to see that "genocide" has been turned into an imprecise word, and I don't know what to do about that?
