getting mad if it has even the slightest bit of liberalism or yankee propaganda

Unless you have lots of communist media to enjoy, you might want to save your anger for the things that matter more, because there’s way too much media that is excessive in the liberalism, let alone slightest bit

Announce you’re going by a new name in this store /s

you have to get boosters to be fully covered for variant strains.

Speaking of boosters, friendly reminder that at least in the US, 2024 updated Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been out for a few weeks. If you haven’t already, look into getting your updated booster soon :)

Could you provide a source for that claim?

SadArtemis already expanded on this well. Certainly Greco-Roman societies were well aware of Africa, even if not the extent of it. You might find Wikipedia’s early world maps page a good starting point.

“Third world” is Cold War framing, pitting the capitalist U.S. and allied countries (first world) against the USSR and allied countries (second world). The Third World referred to nonaligned Global South countries, which tended to be too crushed by the ongoing first world colonialism.

Denigrating the U.S. with implicit denigration to colonized countries based on its own colonialism feels a little off to us.

That doesn’t make it not ironic though, given the USA was founded on slavery

I understand why you might say that but I don’t think delineating between “socialism” = attempting to achieve communism the ideal and “communism” = the ideal is always a meaningful or necessary distinction.

I don’t think anyone here would have a problem if it said “(Bothering to even attempt reaching) communism doesn’t work” but that kind of thing just leads to leftist memes becoming unnecessarily long. I think all of us here know what the intent is, and that is to critique propaganda by capitalist states that AES or any movement outside capitalism towards something better is futile, when the reality is that they are doing everything they can, including that messaging itself, to supress it.

I don’t personally think there’s much value in doing the liberal word game thing about socialism and communism, especially when it’s obvious what is being referred to.

We could play that game that there’s only a capitalist mode of production and not such a thing as capitalism or that “true capitalism” has never been tried, but that would be ridiculous.

It’s worth pointing out explicitly that there’s no option that runs like:

1. Establish fully automated luxury gay space communism
2. ???
3. Profit

The anarchists talk about abolishing the state and hierarchies, but the theory isn’t very helpful if you don’t have a mechanism.

Evil genie: Granted. Capitalism never existed because society has remained in feudalism to this day.

The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.

It was just states being immigration friendly, so actually they were leftist cosmopolitans.

Where did I defend the CCP or communism?

You’re a Lemmygrad user, they’re going to assume that’s your intent by default

Yes, but I’m talking about the word you obviously were referencing with this ad

Especially given that we already have anyways

Lemmygrad admin pointed out to me on !emoji@lemmygrad.ml that the origin of the term is sus, and it’s actually censored on Hexbear

Thank you!

@SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net It’s true, the US leads the world in gun safety statistics! :3

BTW ultras has nothing to do with leftism. In fact, NATOpedia says:

On 24 February 2022, BBB received recognition and praise across the globe for being one of the first sets of supporters to publicly show their support for Ukraine in the context of the Russian invasion that had begun that day. BBB members displayed several Ukrainian flags along with a banner that read “Support to the people of Ukraine”. The image was subsequently shared on the Instagram stories of the football section of Bleacher Report, Manchester City left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko, and was the main photo in an article from Time magazine.[8] They also chanted “Slava Ukraini” (English: “Glory to Ukraine”).

The U.S. military is three nukes in a trench coat, change my mind

Right, the point is whether a comparison is really valid and/or if something else would be more appropriate, not that they should never be used
