Lib shit. Should be 100%

I genuinely don’t understand what the bourgeoise has to gain by spreading disease among its population. Doesn’t it need workers?

I view people who complain about Eternal September in the same vein as I view Chinese conservatives who complained about the simplified Chinese alphabet “debasing literacy” by opening it up to the “unwashed masses”

The 90s internet was somehow even more incel-ish than today’s.

Dreamed I watched a strange animated adaptation of the sci-fi classic “The Fly.” The adaptation starts off normally, with the scientist testing his teleporter and a fly accidentally getting in, and a human-fly hybrid emerging. In a divergence from the source material, though, the scientist retained his mental faculties and discovered that he enjoys being a hybrid of human and insect. The next section of the movie focused on the reactions of those around the scientist to his new form. His girlfriend in particular was initially skeptical but soon came to accept him.

In the longer term, the success and happiness the scientist found in his new body, and a desire to adapt to climate change-induced global warming, led humanity adopt insect hybrid forms en masse. The final section of the trailer showed the future this society that this resulted in, and consisted of episodic vignettes about the everyday lives and relationships of people in this future society in a manner reminiscent of some of Ralph Bakshi’s films: one particular scene I remember involved a male bar patron and the female bartender with whom he half-heartedly pursued a romantic relationship, and the tension created by neither party being willing to back down or fully commit. Just regular-ass relationship drama except with bug people.

Tea. Always tea. Never cared for coffee. I also have simple tastes - plain black tea, iced or hot, is my choice. Only exception is I might splash in some oat milk if I need calories.

In colonial Australia, the state artificially inflated land prices (which were extremely low because they’d killed all the natives) to put them beyond the reach of new colonizers, forcing those colonizers to work in factories and fields owned by an entrenched capitalist class.

Libertarians love price controls when they work in their favor.

The protagonist of this fable would later go on to inspire the witnesses in the Ace Attorney series

Year Zero was a product of American culture during the Bush administration, but it only becomes more relevant as time goes on.

We think we’ve climbed so high on all the backs we’ve condemned
We face the consequence; this is the beginning of the end

my actual pronoun preference is “i wish language was different and nobody had to deal with any of this”

You and me both, friend.

Any post in the vegan comm in which a carnist barges in to start shit with us. Literally the inciting incident that made me first apply for a position as a moderator. Thankfully it’s gotten a lot less common now that the most belligerent carnists have either been banned from the comm or driven off the site for their other reactionary views.

Malcolm X quote about conservatives being wolves and liberals being foxes goes here.

Add another one to the “imagine the libs if this happened in China” pile.

They mean empathy for fascists and pedophiles

Before “human rights,” it was “civilization” and “Christianity.” As long as capital reigns, it will use anything people broadly agree is good as a pretext for imperialism.

About what I’d expect from a country whose national hero was a Nazi war criminal.

“What’s woke dog”

“Not much, what’s woke with you”

How does all this bigotry keep getting into my anticommunism
