does tankie just mean “critiques capitalism” now?

do you really believe america was defending itself in the Vietnam war? is that an actual opinion that you hold?

I highly recommend everyone read Patriots, Traitors, and Empires: The Story of Korea’s Struggle for Freedom by Stephen Gowans if you’re curious about Korea’s post-ww2 history and it’s struggle for independence. it’s a very good, very eye opening read.

don’t you see?? we have to continue our policy of giving unlimited material support to The Baby Chipper 9000, the electorino is at stake!!

worry not, everyone, the US is sending troops and missile defense systems to defend pissrael’s right to continue doing this!

you are not left enough.

i would prefer they shoot their commanding officer and then themselves! if that’s not an option then deserting would be cool too, I guess.

hope every US troop setting foot in occupied Palestine gets exactly what they deserve, as swiftly as possible. 🥰

I feel like, if you’re going to play a souls game for the first time you should play Elden Ring, because it’s the kind of game that’s only as hard as you want it to be. Elden Ring is in this interesting spot of being open world, meaning that if a particular boss or area is too challenging, you can fuck off and do something else for a bit, then come back when you’re better leveled/better geared/more practiced etc. I feel like you don’t really get this with other souls games, which are more linear in their structure.

that said, I don’t think any souls game is really an insurmountable challenge, especially Bloodborne. sure, you might suck when you first start it, but once you get the hang of the combat, dodging, etc you should be fine.

I also recommend The East is Still Red - Chinese Socialism in the 21st Century by Carlos Martinez, it does a great job of dispelling common myths about China and it’s economy, foreign policy, etc with solid sources through a solidly materialist lens.

everyone here are transgender communists.

Hexbear has the largest weekly trans megathread in the entire fediverse, a supermajority of non-cishet users, has hard-coded mandatory pronoun tags, and aggressively bans racism, bigotry and transphobia on sight. It is, hands down, the most trans-inclusive space in the fediverse, as evidenced by a recent user poll in which 90% of respondents agreed, Hexbear is a place that protects its trans users.

yeah, won’t someone think of the oligarchs for once???

No, nowhere in my post did I say I want trump to win. i said it’s easier to organize when libs pretend to care about issues, instead of being actively detrimental to organizing efforts.

he’s also an adamant COVID-denier, I have no doubt that his heart is in the wrong place and his Castro PFP+“leftism” are purely aesthetic

Protests after she is elected will be a lot easier and effective than a Trump administration.

wrong, when Good Team is in the white house, libs tend to turn off and not show up to protests/organize/etc because Good Team already won. when Bad Team gets in they at least pretend to care. a recent example you can look at is 2020, when trump was in office people were protesting police brutality, state repression etc. after 2020, not a peep, and more commonly active derision for protests.
