“But every political system in history is either literally anarchy, in which case I’ll just call you an anarkiddie, or equally authoritarian, in which case whatabout the US?”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but he did order food to continue to be exported from India despite the ongoing starvation, correct? Isn’t that a distinction without a difference?

I don’t trust lifetime anything. That lasts as long as it’s profitable.

Ty ty. It was on my other account on a different instance, but one time somebody attacked me thinking that I was a tankie based solely on the “China book” reading lol. Pretty racist imo.

Lol you know, when I made my account I didn’t think of how likely it would be that people would think it’s “China book” and not “chin a book.” I really should have capitalized the letter at the start of each word. Oh well.

That sounds like CIA propaganda to me. /s

Oh sorry, this place is just so flooded with tankies that most of the time I see a post like that it’s because they’re about to start singing the PRC’s praises. It’s actually insane.

Cool so we agree that PRC and USA are both atrociously vile countries that shouldn’t be emulated? Right? Right??

Not the guy you responded to, but I don’t see why it should be illegal to form groups and clubs to gamble under the condition that there is no “house” taking a cut, or maybe (at most) that a flat fee is charged for membership to allow for overhead (i.e., rent, dealers, etc.).

Let’s be honest, a flat out prohibition on gambling just means that it’ll only be enforced against poor people shooting dice or making informal sports bets, while must rich people and organized crime get away with breaking the law as always.

Inglorious Bastards

Pronouncing the pastry like that outside of a French sentence irritates me so much that I do as my more rural relatives used to and say “crescent roll” and stress the “cress.”

Same here, but it was really easy to just make a new account on a new instance. You never know when your instance will go down (like Lemmy NSFW or, more recently, piefed.social) so you might as well just make a new one and try not to get too attached to any particular iteration of your account. And besides, karma actually means nothing here!

Here’s a good on-point article from an anarchist that hasn’t lost her mind like these morons: https://open.substack.com/pub/margaretkilljoy/p/forget-the-conspiracies?r=t57p3

Yeah, at this point it’s devolved into some weird liberal purity test for the less serious people. I hate it.

That’s fair, if it’s So Flo it’s literally swamp water lol

They said Massachusetts lol. I get that everyone has different taste but I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone else that described the water there as impossible to swallow. But I believe them, I thought the water in Poland tasted bad and I’m sure that was largely just because of what I was used to.

Correct. Apparently our side is as full of morons as the populist right. We’re cooked.

These people are so incredibly fucking stupid. It’s been wild watching the people I agree with slowly start to sound like the Rush-Limbaugh-guzzling halfwits I grew up with. Even if they’re right in the end, their reasons for arriving at this conclusion are just impossibly childish.

Blue Anon has taken over. Zero critical thought, all confirmation bias.

Claims to be socialist, speaks like an authoritarian, state capitalist.
