Tankies: "We need to distribute the essential levers of power (economic) amongst the workers!"
Sane Leftists: "Excellent! How are we going to do that in this particular case, now that we've gained control of the country?"
Tankies: "Putting all economic authority into the hands of state-appointed bureaucrats in a non-representative government that operates purely according to the desires of a small party clique in which the workers have no say, and jailing workers who disagree. Oh, and you."
Maybe that’s what the corporate media says but AoC is popular in her district.
Don't worry - as many on here will tell you, AoC is a corporate puppet and a sellout.
The rowboat, with you at the front working your cult following ass off:
"You're the only ones trying to do anything about imminent disaster" is not the flex you think it is, lmao.
Go ahead and reply again putting words in my mouth and then write a couple paragraphs about how great of a person you are and how you’d never do anything so low.
lmao. I'm not a great person. I'm just not simping for murdering civilians, unlike you.
Venezuela's current leaders are denying the results of a landslide election which they lost, despite massive interference with the opposition's campaign. The leaders of Venezuela are now trying to arrest all the opposition figures they can and has promised to send them to prison camps.
Maduro et co, the ones in charge of Venezuela, are fascists pretending to be socialists.
Is a US citizen protected by the US armed forces if they chose to enter an active warzone as a non-combatant without the consent of the US government?
Doesn't fucking matter. The US doesn't look at national government forces killing American civilians neutrally in any circumstance - except, it seems, in the case of Israel. This isn't some paramilitary or rebel group that killed an American civilian. This is literally the security forces of an 'ally'.
It'll be interesting to see how Al-Sadr et co shakes out in the power vacuum by the US withdrawal. And by interesting I mean 'may you live in interesting times' style interesting, not 'this is a nice thing' interesting.
Thank you! I just try to spread a little of my interests where I can! 🙏
HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point
Yeah, you can always count on them to brigade.
My current psychiatrist doesn't want to prescribe me any stimulants because of the potential for abuse. For the record, I have no, uh, record of drug use. I don't even fucking drink. I get the caution, but it's deeply frustrating.
Cringe Bronze Age Empire: "We're going to condemn you for a thousand years in our writings!"
Chad Sea Peoples: "I can't fucking read"
Yeah, it's like... y'know, even at its most cynical, this is very much a welcome entry of positive trans visibility in mass media. "It was just an excuse to go on vacation", well, alright? Good for Will Ferrell, I guess? If it ends up being a good film, what does that matter?
It's okay to celebrate the small victories. Sometimes it's what helps you carry on to the big ones.
Well, I apologize. It's not the first time my aggressive tone has been... more hostile than it's meant. I like to hammer points hard to ensure there's no 'way out' of the counter-argument that could be brushed off, like ambiguity or a lack of severity, but the bitterness and sarcasm employed sometimes makes it sound accusatory towards the arguer and not the point, though that's not how it's meant.
I mean, more hostile than it's meant towards someone I'm not trying to be hostile towards. Obviously I cut the brakes when I want to be hostile because I'm dealing with a fascist or like cretin.
It was as I was walking to the library to pay off a 10-year old late fee, no less!
Last winter, a 20$ blew right by me in the wind and I caught it.
God, I can't wait. Hopefully, at least a few months of peace before the midterms start going.
But the second there isn’t agreement, boom, a feeling of instant enemies.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't regard you as an enemy, and I can show receipts on the kind of vitriol I shower on people whom I actively dislike - it's not like this. This was just a heated argument over an issue two people feel strongly about. They happen.
