I've just gone nearly a week without internet, comrades. As we live in a time period where decades may happen in a matter of weeks, I fear I've missed some world shaking events. What's the latest re: Israel invading Lebanon? And how serious are these anti-Maduro protests?
I don't much about JD Vance. Is he known to use the word tankie? Will this man call Kamala Harris a tankie and finally kill the usage of the word among libs?
Thanks comrade, they really can be the worst.
She seems to have some kind of stigma for making edibles. I have no idea why. When she initially found out I was making edibles, she said she prefer if I just smoke weed in the backyard at night when no one is home, or if I'd just buy prepared edibles.
I don't enjoy smoking very much, and edibles are too expensive to just buy them. I think my initial refusal to follow her exact orders and my following refusal to move out after breaking her ultimatum, plus my dads refusal to help her kick me out made her feel powerless over the situation, because that's when she called armed men to confront me over this.
Kamala Harris could win this election
This is just about the only thing I am certain will not happen. Like, Biden would need to die between beating Trump and actually winning the electoral college. That itself is unlikely because it is predicated upon Biden not only surviving to November, but also beating Trump. But even if Biden died during this particular window, the electors are not going to just settle on Kamala Harris lmao
Yeah I love this. I wish more media depicting marginalized communities would actively take writing direction from the actual communities they are attempting to depict.
Hello, I'm here to apologize for the lack of terror. Someone needs to do it, might as well be me

It kind of looks like reddit has permanently marked all accounts and variously fingerprinted users that once posted often in r/cth and now they just ban any new subreddit where they start to congregate regardless of whether it's an actual attempt to revive the sub or not. It's like a soft shadow ban where we can still comment on most posts in most subreddits, but if we start talking politics with like minded people, it alerts the admins.
Most liberals believe history began in 2022. This one happens to be an advanced liberal who believes history started in the summer of 2023
Online though? You get the boot real fast. None of these people would have the guts to treat you that way in real life.
Sounds like this is a result of the rapidly increasing prevalence of liberal solipsism originating from the massively overblown obsession with the few 2016 election ads Russia bought. Now liberals have an easy get out of being flanked from the left card by always accusing anti-western communists of being either literal chat bots or paid shills. That's much harder for a lib to do offline while the conversation is literally face to face.
Although, I do remember a few years ago a comrade on this site made a vent post about how they were literally called a bot in an offline argument with a coworker. That one absolutely boggles the mind.
I feel like the kind of shit marginalized people go through in the imperial core tends to be inherently radicalizing in an anti-capitalist direction without necessarily being radicalizing in a pro-communist and anti-west direction.
That makes a lot of sense considering even the most marginalized people in the imperial core have the privilege of not having to worry about bombs being dropped on their homes, CIA backed coups deposing their democratically elected leaders, nor the general all encompassing horror of imperial resource extraction. The result is that western marginalized and privileged citizens alike will both readily accept the never ending deluge of atrocity propaganda against AES emanating out of essentially all western media outlets.
If you believed in literally everything the CIA said about AES, how would you feel about countries like the USSR or PRC? At that point, the red fascist rhetoric actually makes sense. How many fascists should you allow to sit at your table? 0. It's insidious, and it has broken the brains of too many otherwise decent people. For that reason I try not to judge people like your discord moderator (other than for unironically being a discord moderator) too harshly for things like this.
I don't think people within the imperial core in general will soften up on AES until real communist organizations can build up local mutual aid networks to support the most precarious of us in their communities. Ideally they'd provide necessary social services running parallel to the rotting remains of the social safety nets once maintained by western governments until the fall of the USSR. That would lend to us the necessary position of public trust to displace the misinformation put out by corporate media by providing relevant education on communism, specifically AES, where the public education system has purposefully failed. Deliberate agitation on this front is very necessary in that there is no horrible experience one can endure in the imperial core that would result in intuitively figuring out we need to organize society in a similar way to AES countries.
Bonus question: How many names would one need to right down?
Real bad luck some chud hog like Light Yagami found the Death Note before anyone else did. By killing only criminals reported on in the news, he effectively made himself into a weapon of execution that could be freely wielded by the cops at almost entirely their own discretion. I wish the anime would have explored that idea a bit more, but I'll settle for the very pathetic way Light Yagami got caught by a 12 year old, threw a tantrum, and then died. That was unironically a great ending.
So say a communist found it instead. How much damage could this baby do to the global capitalist nightmare we live under?
Got a rover to the Mun today and explored a few biomes. I think I've finally got the hang of doing stuff in Kerbin's sphere of influence, and am about ready to start sending stuff interplanetary! Anyone else been up to anything in the Kerbol solar system?
