  • This is the full quote, according to Parenti:

    Left anticommunists remained studiously unimpressed by the dramatic gains won by masses of previously impoverished people under communism. Some were even scornful of such accomplishments. I recall how in Burlington Vermont, in 1971, the noted anticommunist anarchist, Murray Bookchin, derisively referred to my concern for “the poor little children who got fed under communism” (his words).

    It’s literally a personal anecdote claimed by Parenti, so I don’t see that being corroborated.

  • I googled it and it looks like to sign up to drive for Bus you need to take a hollowed out RV and fill it with chairs from the DMV. How do they have enough drivers to compete with restrictions like that?

    This is probably the best explanation I've seen of the word "tankie". The comparison with "woke" is especially apt imo.
  • There’s a lot of truly bizarre opinion on nationalism and ethnicity when it comes to “tankie” and “red fash” discourse. Some streaming had a whole filled diaper moment talking about how anti-imperialist movements in Africa are ethno-nationalists for wanting to kick out their white ruling classes.

  • Better yet, he also says that, unlike the first game, we won't have to help the cops spy on citizens to un-fog the map.

  • This is Amerikkka
  • imo one of :jordan-eboy-peterson:’s stopped clock moments is how the flood myth can be seen as a cultural analogy for civil dysfunction. We build up giant systems collectively over generations and by the time they start falling apart due to corruption, the effects of their failure can really feel supernatural.

  • r/China is a step above even over reddit
  • That’s a good point. There’s an old school attitude that children will only ever behave because they’ve been dominated by their parents and therefore any “overindulgence” in a child’s desires is actually bad for the child because it violates the “natural” dominance hierarchy of the parent-child relationship and that’s why they misbehave.

    There is a natural dominance hierarchy in the sense of “my child wants to run out into the street in front of traffic and I physically prevent them from doing so”. But the idea that a misbehaving child is misbehaving because they simply haven’t been dominated enough by authority figures is ridiculous. There are personality types which react to dominance with the exact undesired behavior (it me). And that’s to say nothing if the neglect that inevitably occurs when a parent-child relationship is damaged like this.

  • r/China is a step above even over reddit
  • NPD is pretty common in China when only children are raised by some guardian that spoils them rotten

    “NPD is when kids are spoiled” is a pretty fucking hot take what on earth

  • Can you defend yourself if a cop decides to kill you?
  • The only way any cop will receive any punishment is if enough media attention is given to that case.

    And you have to have global protests which involve burning down several police stations in order for then to consider convicting even a single one.

  • This has totally been my experience with "gender critical" and "worried about gender ideology" people I know
  • The Left got a little too PC so I changed all of my opinions about the economy, social issues, systemic racism, health care, and history.

  • "The sharp rise in Violent/Aggressive Discourse in the Extreme Left is an artifact of the inclusion of Hexbear.net."
  • Methodological Notes: Activity levels are defined as the % of posts with at least one key word, phrase, or stem identified with particular themes. Because the study of language and ideology is a key aspect of the larger project, results are limited exclusively to posts with at least 50 words.

  • How many of you guys are like... Class first but recognize all forms of oppression must be stamped out right?
  • I figured as much. When I’m around libs I’ll push the class issue and just risk getting called a class reductionist if they’ve got intense brainworms. When I’m around comrades, I feel like the nuances and pitfalls are worth pointing out for lurkers. But I absolutely agree with you that someone celebrating the bourgeois-ification of a minority group is super sus radlib shit

  • How many of you guys are like... Class first but recognize all forms of oppression must be stamped out right?
  • The issue is that “class first” has a super broad meaning. There are people who say “class first” to mean that bourgeoisie identity politics are not liberation (ie Raytheon’s first female CEO). And there are people who say “class first” as a pretense to tell the uppity minorities to fuck off and stop “splitting the movement” over their issues.

  • The Americans are asleep, post wheelie bins
