sensorship

while protecting our subway system

Pretty sure yesterday proved that pigs objectively make the subways less safe.

The Teen Titans cancellation was before MLP:FiM, but word on the street is that it’s still industry standard to shoot down ideas if they seem like they’re not gendered enough because it allegedly makes it harder for the toy people to sell their merch.

Famously, the Spartacus Uprising was definitely a democratic movement and not an attempt to seize the government by force before democratic elections could be held. /s

There was a general strike! Millions of people participated! It failed in large part because the Communists weren’t ready for it and their leadership was too paralyzed in the moment to actually seize power!

But please continue to just imagine what historical events were like instead of picking up a book and learning about them.

Cry harder western shill.

80% of the world’s solar panels come from China and more than half of their electrical grid is from non-fossil sources. Coal plants are used as backups where they are still used at all. I’m sorry bud but it is simply an objective fact that China has invested more into a green energy transition than anyone else on this Earth.

at some point the Roman empire claimed it

False comparison. The treaty that established their claim is from the 19th century and was signed by their direct predecessor state.

in no particular order

D&D Heroes! It wasn’t the deepest game but it was 4 player coop on the XBox and I played the crap out of it with my friends.

Baldur’s Gate 3 because it’s my favorite version of that type of game so far and I’ve been playin’ em since the Gold Box days.

Bard’s Tale baby. Maybe not strictly a D&D game but we all know that it’s a D&D game. I never bought this but I rented it about a zillion times in order to beat it back when that was a thing, lmao.

but we’re not comfortable with how they run things

If you’re not comfortable with totally eliminating extreme poverty, taking the largest steps of any country on the planet to combat climate change, and having a democratic government that exercises control over the capitalists rather than the other way around, then your comfort is not something worth caring about.

China does not recognize the international tribunal’s ruling.

The international tribunal did not have the standing to make the ruling that it did. China’s claim to the ECS predates the UN and the international court, the UN (lead by the USA) stole control over the sea and retroactively legalized their theft while China was fighting a civil war.

For the record, Taiwan claims precisely the same thing. But they’re a US-backed puppet regime so they can’t move against the US the way that the PRC can.

which had previously been cooperative with the KPD after the establishment of the Weimar Republic.

Famously the SPD didn’t work together with fascists to create the kill squads that murdered Rosa Luxemburg.

To reiterate what I said the last time centrists acted revisionist about this shit, nobody in history has been more vindicated than Ernst motherfucking Thalmann. Social Democrats are objectively the moderate wing of fascism and they enthusiastically participated in suppressing everyone to the left of them until there was nobody left and the Nazis decided it was their turn.

I would be a responsible gun owner

-Every single gun owner (self included ofc)

I’ve visited the museums in China, truly among the most inspiring places on this earth. The world’s largest and most powerful country is also its most free.

Not really.

The fundamental critique of capitalism is that not even the capitalists are really in charge. Marx lays out quite thoroughly in Capital that the profit motive is what’s actually in charge, and the capitalists are just along for the ride, and that any attempt by the capitalists to flex their power in a way that the market cannot abide will result in them losing their privileged status and being replaced by a different capitalist who will better serve the needs of the profit motive.

By contrast, socialist systems are run by people. That makes them flexible and able to serve the needs of society in a way that capitalist societies simply aren’t. And yes, people are capable of mistakes, failure, and betrayal; but so too are they capable of insight, success, and solidarity. The best of existing socialist societies past and present is when they buck the demands of the market and provide for their people in ways that capitalist societies don’t, and the worst of socialist societies is invariably the things that they are required to do in order to maintain their existence on a predominantly capitalist world.

The worst things that happen are when students lock the door to a building, or when fascist counter protestors (often in police uniforms) show up and escalate shit.

Americans live in one of the police states of all time. Capitalism can only produce this result, there is no alternative, because the ruling class knows just as well as the socialists do that the contradictions will only keep getting worse and the protests will only keep getting bigger but of course instead of wanting to change the equation to produce a different result like the socialists do the capitalists want to cling to power by any means necessary.

If you HAD to choose between Communism and Fascism

Oh no, please don’t force me to make this choice, it’s impossible.

Slow news week? Just make some shit up!

Of course the post-gamergaters have been making shit up from the jump. Come to think of it so were the gamergaters and pre-gamergaters.

Nobody drives in New York, there’s too much traffic.
