The view that there will not be a revolution in our lifetimes is the most harmful commonly held belief among the western left. If we divide the revolutionary conditions into the subjective and the objective, it is not the objective ones that are lacking. We have a climate crisis with no solution under capitalism, increasing political illegitimacy, and the decay of the global monopoly of power. What we are missing is the subjective part, the party that offers an alternative. If we believe there will not be a revolution, this party will never have the vitality to direct the masses, and will instead waste all the revolutionary potential, betraying the masses.

I hate when people use mental illness as a metaphor to explain why people disagree with them, it sucks for so many reasons

"Why focus on this specific child when we are killing so many other children?" is a pretty incredible defense

It was a sad day when she hunted down every single straight male in the video games industry and shot them with a crossbow.

Honestly the main reason the discourse around this game is annoying is that the whole idea of an edgy version of pokemon is juvenile as hell, but people are instead moralizing about stealing from fucking nintendo

Dying from blood loss after a mortar shell I tried to fire at a pre-school hit a lamp post instead and blew off my leg: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift... that's why they call it present"

This might be one of those situations where everyone is better off if we just ignore it

The moderates within the oppressing group are a critical part of it with their own specific parts in the functioning of the oppression, and oppression as a whole is our enemy. Of course, we shouldn't dehumanize them, but we also shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking they are somehow neutral.

In the early days of this site, it was common to flirt with the idea of running it more democratically. This was correctly deemed unfeasible during the Age of Struggle Sessions and the arbitrary dictatorship of the mods was cemented.

But maybe the problem wasn't democracy itself, but trying to jump the gun by modeling the site democracy after bourgeois or proletarian democracies. What we need to do is go back to the roots, reform the site to be more like ancient Athenian democracy.

I suggest the first reform is to implement a system of Ostrakismos, where once in a while there is a thread where we can name other users, and if one or more of these comments gets above a certain threshold of upvotes, the named user with the most upvotes on the comment gets banned for a year.

If a person took the extra effort to send me the white thumb emoji instead of the yellow one I would assume very mean things about them
