I would be easily convinced I was wrong if you’d show any sort of proof. So take your imperialist ass and shove yourself in a wood chipper or a mineshaft if you are unwilling to spend 5 minutes googling to prove your claim or prove yourself wrong.

Yeah the “field of bodies” video is pretty easy to find even if you’re not looking for it. I don’t blame you for not wanting to see the shit, It’s terrible. But don’t come with some fake claim that only cars can be found. “Leveled” is a word used to mean “made rubble” sometimes and “made to be as useless and dangerous as rubble” others. This is probably the latter time, but I haven’t seen videos showing the remains of the building honestly. I don’t search for this shit tho

Find something or delete this bullshit.

You should read a goddamn book about any of these topics or begone ye

Edit: ah shit I’m outside of Hexbear. Ok then let’s engage a bit here. What about these things seems contradictory to you? That there is an active genocide for about 100 years in Palestine or that Stalin is good?

To be clear, because reading it again gave me some unclarity, I absolutely defend Stalin because he was good, not just as a rhetorical strategy. Just that even if he could’ve been better, he was the best possible and denigrating him denigrates socialism every time. Real critique is fine (“75% good of course”) but painting him as a problem as a person cannot be removed form socialism. Hamas is doing decolonization, and denigrating them is denigrating decolonization

Yes, we must understand that not only do Gazan Palestinians as a majority support Hamas, but Hamas is a force for good and they are correct for doing so. Sure, after decolonization, start fighting for a better representative, but for now Hamas is the best shot they have at not being genocided.

This same framework is used every time there is a broad movement which chooses, with good reason, for a strong group which can accomplish their goals. “Socialism is fine but Stalin did it bad” but then the purity fetish prevents the original goal from ever being achieved. Don’t bother convincing people socialism is good but Stalin bad. No Stalin is good and so I socialism.

You can just make it a “born before this date” and it just solves this entirely. That date just doesn’t change. Everyone who sells darts memorizes it. Then it actually changes every day by a day. Fuck it, let’s give it an hour too, just to fuck with those kids born an hour later

No prob comrade, 2034 and 2024 can look very similar due to us being so used to seeing 202* dates. I wouldn’t delete though, the fact that it’s spoken about in media as a fine choice for 2034 still means your point is correct

I’ve gotten to use PPB a lot more the last couple months. In fact I never used it before so that was cool. Otherwise it just adds some doomscrolling capabilities and also a way to see comrades dogpiling assholes. But the downsides are pretty apparent

Yeah that’s in 11 years I think lol. Still though the point stands

Well you’re a dumbass if you can’t understand this lol. What the fuck does the American Civil War have to do with this? Nobody forced the slavers to make a separate country. Meanwhile the US forced the south of Korea to set up a government and refuse any discussion with the rest of Korea. You can define invasion however you want but it’s nonsense to define how you’re trying other “governments tm” being how you define it

Honestly just read Liberalism: a counter History. I lost my soft spot once I realized his philosophical underpinnings weren’t any better, he just happened to be positioned in material reality in a way where shitty stuff had small good effects. Critical support was a good idea for him in that time, because he happened to represent a force aligned against the greatest oppressors of the most revolutionary class (the enslaved). But now that he already won, critical support means you can throw him away and realize it was only s tactical correct choice, not any good outside of that

Lol if joking. If not, I’m sorry but you severely misunderstood what is happening here

Not unless we were directly in the center of it, in which case everything would seem to move away from us. But even then, if I’m not mistaken, physicists and astronomers have also proven that other objects are also moving away from one another too.

We can tell how something is moving based on the shift of its light, like the Doppler effect. The further something is the more its light is shifted, which was how we came to know this phenomenon in general of increasing size of space between all things.

Comrades, Google has failed to give any useful information because of enshittification. Anybody know how to have a different working language between excel and word? I know VBA and all excel-associated commands in english but my work is in a different language. I type/work in that other language all the time except for in excel where I forget how to do the fuckin sum command. But changing the working langauge makes it a shitshow with spellcheck and several other issues. I’m tired of that BS. Any advice?

Atrocity propaganda is a real phenomenon used by westerners to inflate problems of non-western societies and deflate the genocides done by the west. You’ve fallen for it

They mean Chinese apologists from the west.

I for one am not apologizing for much of anything really. Mistakes have been made but the party has grown from that and critiques those. None of these are what these anti-chinese people are saying though

I read the description of it when I was reading a couple other of his and convinced myself it was very much a repeat/expansion of the same idea. My first of his was about Schelling called “The Indivisible Remainder” and those two seem identical to me in content, except the form is an approach from 2 different philosophers to get to Zizeks ideas.

Yeah I’ve read both and like parentis more. But I found Chomsky’s a bit more “academic” is structure, while parentis felt that unique way I tried to describe. Might also come from the times I read them (Chomsky long ago as a young lib and parenti while I was already a communist)

It’s the same jokes 400 times for sure. And the ideas are also rarely different. To be fair to him though, he admits as much openly saying “ive written the same book 30 times to get my point across” or something similar
