lolol

slugs and snails are ALSO aliens!

sweating profusely

i also can only have certain drinks with certain foods, so this helps with that too. XD

you got this! don't give up!

that's like 2/3 of the US tho :/

also have better political and electoral systems to resist the kind of capture we see now in the US

that's awesome! glad to hear it's a good journey. have you done everything everything? comics? Young Jedi Adventures just came out with a new season. :D my son loves it! it's a cute show, for kids sure, but still nice to be in the era.

i wonder what they will do next...

welcome to freedom and enjoy the ride! lots to learn!

No, because he's a successful, smart black man. They have to make an example of him

Somehow, Trump found a way...

LoL i get it, but it's not all of us XD

agreed. let us go in peace. have a good rest of your day.

well, my intention today was not to question communism or defend capitalism. it was a contention that you were being disingenuous.

and while i still don't agree with some of your conclusions in how you use your data, i am softened in my assessment of you.

we're hitting a good point here, just recognize that and don't ruin it.

good stuff here. thanks. i'll add them to my inquiry list.

let's stop here before it gets ruined. XD

until the next time!

except i'm not trying to do any of what you seem to be accusing me?

the whole point is to get more of the truth out, wherever it lands.

i'm not the ideological one. you are.

this is nothing more than a social interaction.

i'm not going to overly commit if i think you're full of shit, deluded and/or acting in bad faith.

"Does that satisfy, or are you just going to endlessly move the goalposts?"

don't do this. do you want to de-escalate or not? stay on topic.

is it satisfactory? not really, but i don't expect you to dump a treatise on a chat board.

i want particular looks into political persecutions in these states, cults of personalities, corruption and abuse of powers, imbalanced relationships between Russia and other USSR states, treatment of Uyghurs, China's social cred system, these kinds of items.

i do NOT expect you to address any of these items here, and i'm not asking you to.

you will say that my views are tainted by biased capitalist propaganda. if that's true, where would you suggest i go to get information on these topics? mind you, i will look very askance at anything that is coming from a socialist echo chamber, since they will also have their own biases.

re: authoritarianism

i hear what you're saying. good thoughts.

re: critique

yes, this is much better. deeper, more nuanced.

i would but i already don't trust you from our last attempt at this. that needs to be addressed first.

this is coming up better in the other thread, so lets continue to focus there.

as for who i do this for, it's always for the pursuit of and elucidation of truth, for myself and for any who may find it useful in their own lives.

re: tankie

i don't do any of that, but that is your go-to response for the term.

this has come of my lived experience of interacting with you. it has been what you have put forth to me in your full-throated support of, as you say, AES states.

NOW, having said that, if you have some examples to show me of your nuanced critique of the human rights abuses of these authoritarian states, i'd actually love to see them. they did not come up in our last interaction. maybe they will change my view of you and of your brand of communism.

re: authoritarianism

we have interacted in the past, and of course you wouldn't recall. no reason you would, and that's totally ok. but you are active enough i'm sure you realize that ppl remember you.

i'm ok with being anti-communist if that is indeed what i am. but because i am actively inquiring into Socialist thought to see if i can be Socialist, it's just not a category i am sure of yet (either pro/anti communism, socialism, insert-Leftist-ideology-here, etc). i do know i am anti-authoritarian, and that will not change.

re: critique

"I find that it's usually Marxist-Leninists that are the most critical of AES along genuine lines, as we've done the due dilligence of sepparating fact from fiction so we can learn what went wrong and what went right."

i've heard you say this before. it strikes me as a bit hubristic and if i were you i'd remain concerned about the accuracy of reports/data from AES states, same as i don't trust the US's opinion of itself.

nevertheless, i remain open and interested in what you can present of this.
