  • Oh my god, she could be roomies with Kissinger! Slumber party, but you know, with flesh melting

  • I think it's happening on the inside. That frantic attempt to justify a genocide, such that she can't even seem to hear the words coming from her own mouth. No thought, just id

  • Honestly the conciseness of this argument is heartwarming to me. 🥰

  • Here's one: study insurgencies that managed to hold off and/or beat the US and get ready to apply those tactics because that time is coming. Best get to networking too.

  • They have to win elections and they have to fight from within.

    Wait everyone! Don't you see? If we join the Nazis we can change them from within!

  • Great hero of the people: Neville Chamberlain

  • To be fair, that's pretty much the ancestry of West Germany. Well, that and all the Nazis who got a great big beautiful American bailout.

  • Obama drone struck that 16 year old American kid, and when someone in his administration was asked about it, he said that he should’ve had a better father

    Oh boy the irony

I assume the reduced complexity of simplified characters makes it more accessible though, which is why I understand the PRC makes Pinyin required on road signs as well.

  • I've been enjoying studying Mandarin. The tones are a bit weird but the grammar seems surprisingly simple, everything can be written pretty universally in pinyin, and Hanzi characters are great for condensing information.

  • I didn't invent clinical depression but my god have I innovated it

  • That’s a debate since authoritarianism to libertarianism is a spectrum so there is no official “normal” and its generally used qualitatively on individual polices

    So, essentially, it's subjective?

  • Where the state has extra power that they can use to enforce their goals

    Extra power in comparison to what? What is the normal amount of state power?

  • What makes them authoritarian?

  • I actually always wondered a bit about the line between fascism and monarchism. To the casual observer they might seem nearly identical, though I wonder if in historical materialist terms it's a reactionary attempt to backslide to feudalism rather than progress capitalism to socialism.

  • A leftist. Someone with political beliefs, empathy, and conviction.

  • No
