Indeed, just the specific time when it directly enabled one

Since they are no longer sold AFAIK, and there are too many people lacking astrojax:

The original idea for astrojax was developed when the physics student tied hexnuts to each end of a string, then strung one nut loose on the string between them. There is nothing stopping you from doing this. It’s the same sort of fun, just slightly less padded than the foam astrojax. If you change the number of nuts strung in the middle to two, you can put a little duct tape around them to make a heavier middle weight, and can also change the number of nuts at the ends by tying them together at the end. Rather than having a but on both ends, you can attach a keyring to one end and have a yoyo loop to work with for greater grip security.

Founded by Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, yes, that Ghislaine Maxwell.

“The only people who disagree with me are neoliberals and fascists”, cried the Dingdong. It does not, of course, perceive that the only matching call in the forest is that of its greatest competitor species, the lowly maggat, with its cries of “The only people who disagree with me are commies and socialists”

Yeah, it was right there: Earendil threw one into a volcano, one into the sea, and took one into the sky. Ringo Starr used James Cameron’s submersible to find the silmaril of the sea. The Silmaril of fire eventually became the Arkenstone after the sundering of Valinor, in the same tectonic activity which sunk Beleriand. The Arkenstone was found in the ancient tomb od Thorin by John Lennon, using a map produced by Tolkien himself, but was then stolen by Ringo Starr. The Silmaril of the sky may seem to still be there, but the glow is actually Voyager I, which Ringo Starr bribed Carl Sagan to lie about. The true Voyager II mission was a sample return to bring back Earendil on his boat. Earendil wasn’t happy about it, but he acquiesced when he heard the sample of modern music on the Golden Record, and heard that people had found an even better strain of Halfling Leaf for him to smoke. Ringo thus claimed the final Silmaril, and became master of the Elf Stones.

Ooh, ooh, can I get a block?! Pick me! Pick me!

Tardigrades don’t have visible eyes like that in the left picture. That’s some ai-generated slop image of a demodex mite.

It’s the W-class Mnestic agent in the mushroom.

Ah, yes, “everything I dislike is capitalism”, mixed with a bit of “everything I dislike is liberalism”. I think I have what response I’m likely to get from the mod, and if that’s what this community is now, I’ll just leave you to your poorly-delineated verbiage and parroted quotes without context. Good day.

Socialism, anarchism and communism are all equal in the eyes of the rules, but they all lead to communism.

I think the anarchists, at the very least, would disagree with your assertion, but I acknowledge the later points and appreciate the thoughtful response. I still disagree that merely puppeting Lenin is actually related to late stage capitalism since, as you point out, it’s just history. It has nothing to do with capitalism’s late stages without context for discussion, and there is no context given here. It’s just parroting the guy and not actually saying anything with the quote. If the salty american is trying to make a point, I haven’t seen it in any of these posts. What, specifically, is the reformism we are seeing in capitalism’s late stage?

Did you actually read that article? Because it says pretty much exactly what I did in the first lines: they brought elements of the later capitalist system with them. Mercantilism and other explaoitative systems existed long before 1776, as I said.

YOU are the one who clearly doesn’t know how we got here. If you’re going to try to “um, actually” me, you had better damn well have your facts in order.

The Wealth of Nations was published 250 years ago. Capitalism didnt fucking EXIST “over 250 years ago”, let alone as a system in place. There have always been exploitative systems, but not the one founded on Adam Smith’s political philosophy

If we’re going to fight against a system as entrenched as capitalism, the least you can do is put a basic modicum of effort into knowing the actual history, before trying to claim superiority by posting old quotes by smarter people than yourself, without context, and expecting other people to interpret your meaning for themselves. It’s lazy.

I didn’t ask for your historically inaccurate opinion on liberal reform. I asked the moderator of this community if this community’s purpose remains unchanged, or if the sidebar need be updated.

Incorrect. It is an anticapitalist space. Reread the sidebar. Socialism, Anarchism, Communism, etc., are all equal in the eyes of the rules. If this community is just going to be quotes of Lenin, without any actual connection to the late stage of capitalism, then the sidebar needs to be changed.

This is like all of those posts on NotTheOnion which are just regular headlines the posters don’t like: yes, potentially worthy of sharing, but irrelevant to the community.

@K1nsey6@lemmy.world, I would appreciate moderator input: is continuous posting of quotes from a hundred years ago with no contextual tie to the current stage of capitalism and events considered the aim of this community?

Is this all LSC is now? Just a bunch of Lenin quotes?

historically accurate

Listen, friend, this is going to be hard for you, but either:

A) You have a serious misunderstanding of the definition of “history”, or

B) I am the bearer of bad news: Batman isn’t a real historical figure

This has nothing to do with capitalism, let alone its late stage. If you want to post random quotes, regardless of quality, perhaps you should find or create a community for such.

I thought it odd as well, but they complained at how grim it was. I just believe that it’s an easy fix, which helps everyone, to put the attribution somewhere in either the title or text. Very simple, but lets people search for it or filter it. Apparently the OP would rather just be a condescending ass about it
