  • Don't we shit on libs for doing stuff like this?

    Alt history and speculative near future stuff can be fun and illuminating, if done well.

    But this is giving "libs making balkanized China maps" cringe energy.

  • For clarity, I'm stretching the useage of Chauvinism here. While you're correct that Lenin is referring to imperialists dressing their imperialism in leftist garb, Chauvinism, in general, is any kind of belief in the superiority of one's group over another.

    OP clearly thinks they're better then the queers and our supposed bourgeois decadence.

    I think leftists can have a little word play, as a treat

  • I'm on estrogen but I shaved my head for the butch vibes. Channeling my inner Sinead O'Connor

  • Of you look at American electoral history, because elections are carried out by States, and you're not voting directly for president, but instead for electors to go to the electoral college, each state had a wildly different way of deciding who these electors ought to be.

    Some had elections (property owning white men, only), others had the state legislature decide. If a state chose via the state legislature, they couldn't even agree on how that shit was supposed to work!

    And then, early on, there was no expectation that the electors had to abide by the will of the people who selected them. They were free to vote for whoever, like Cardinals picking the fucking Pope!

    And any time an election, or anything else for that matter, didn't go the way a state wanted, they would threaten secession from the Union.

    It's genuinely shocking that the US didn't immediately fucking implode, given how genuinely batshit its institutions are.

    Edit: for more stupidity I just thought of: if the electoral college can't figure it out, how is the president chosen? It's totally vibes based. In 2000, the supreme court just snatched up the ability to do this, effectively stealing an election. But in 1824, when they couldn't decide, it went to the fucking House of Representatives, and they decided!

  • Wasn't one of the "Watches" a fucking compass?

  • Yeah, I'm bisexual

  • This is more productive than the olive oil struggle session tbh

  • Speaking of, my first exposure to Hasan is when he got that TYT show, and debated Cenk about capitalism, and then it immediately got canned, because he said 'America deserved 9/11’.

    They trotted him out to apologize and basically publicly humiliate him in the process.

    But now that Hasan has gotten so big, on his own, I think you can tell Cenk is super fucking insecure about it, and it's so fucking funny

  • and they're both known for their cheese 👀
