cough Katyn massacre cough

did Shea post some more cringe?

I got whooped as a kid and I turned out alright!

(THE DEMONS IN MY BRAIN YEARN FOR ESCAPE. AHHHGAGAHAHEHEHHFFUCKKKK)

Yeah, I turned out alright.

Navalny, the guy who called Muslims cockroaches?

Navalny, the guy who was already imprisoned and posed literally no threat to Russia from behind bars? That Navalny?

You’re worse than QAnon types.

I have often wondered about the boundaries of horror art… or more precisely, the lack thereof.

There is “tasteless” and there is “should probably be illegal”. I may be wrong and all art should be allowed and criticism should reign, I don’t know. But you mentioned Terrifier, a film that was marketed as the one making people vomit and pass out in movie theaters.

I don’t see the benefit here… for anyone. I see cheap exploitation and majorly creatively bankrupt gimmicks.

I, like you, am also no horror prude, and I sometimes even explicitly seek out gory films. I have a soft spot in my heart particularly for the V/H/S series, which are fictional representations of what are basically snuff films. They don’t make me vomit and cry and shit my pants and dream about clowns murdering me in my sleep, though. I prefer it that way, personally.

Also fuck r@pe in horror movies. For every time it’s tastefully done, it’s done in the most degrading and unnecessary way possible 100 more times. Graphic depictions of sexual abuse almost always evoke in me disdain for the director or creator rather than any involved emotion regarding the film itself. I’m looking at you, “I Spit On Your Grave” and basically every other "r@pe revenge* film.

I feel you, comrade.

I canvassed for the greens once. It isn’t so simple as “campaigning” for them, you have to gather thousands upon thousands of signatures for them first before they’re really even allowed to run.

They paid $10 per signature, though. Not a bad gig lol. Selling democracy to the highest bidder!

There is but one gamma male. Dr. David Banner—physician, scientist—searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry. And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs. The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.

The creature is wanted for a murder he didn’t commit. David Banner is believed to be dead. And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.

Downvoting because in Australia it’s an upvote.

My family has all but collapsed through numerous instances of betrayal, people moving away and members of it dying.

I may have had my last “family Christmas” without even realizing it.

This year, you could have told me it was Xmas today and I would have believed you (sans checking my calendar). It is just another day of entropy.

I relate to the season bringing you down.

I’m with Engels on this one.

He’s been the ruling class’s guy from his first oration to millennia beyond his death. He bore nothing but contempt for the masses and sought whatever opportunities he could that would make his pathetic life more comfortable at their expense.

Peoples’ histories will eventually relegate him to the prestigious honor of having been the creator of one of the world’s first gender neutral restrooms. 🪦🚻

quotes from The Assassination of Julius Caesar by Michael Parenti

I’m in the same boat. Comments really aren’t that bad, mostly just nostalgiaposting. The battle itself was nowhere near the levels of cringe as the two you mentioned… Ford mostly reads as he was – a rich, Nazi sympathizing moron – and Marx kinda kills it tbh.

I believe it says far more about your own reading comprehension skills if you can’t tell us - human beings sick and tired of Empire apologia - apart from the usually incomprehensible shit salad that language models currently like to present as coherent.

Maybe if you actually read more, you’d be able to discern the difference. 🤷‍♂️

Another thing, notice the reaction of Muslim countries to the actual genocide being perpetrated by Israel. They are firmly condemning it through all channels. In contrast, the policies of de-radicalization by the Chinese were unanimously well-received by Muslim countries.

Very generous of you to assume that many of these folk believe Muslims and Arabs are human beings capable of forming their own opinions and international policy. The opinions of actual Muslims are similarly handwaved akin to any communist’s opinion.

These states’ international defense of China’s de-radicalization program is stated to merely be because they are money-hungry opportunists, buddying up with China while ignoring a politically and economically inconvenient genocide. 🙄 How… adaptable this narrative is.

The seemingly unending wave of videos of Uyghurs in China recording themselves in their homes and making it clear they are not undergoing genocide have to be ignored. In fact, they have to be deleted by the platforms hosting them. How utterly immune to facts this narrative is.

If these countries care about Palestine, oh… I don’t know. Russia is making them care. Iran, maybe? Maybe North Korea or China are forcing these Muslims to hate Israel. Who else are we being directed to hate right now? Afghanistan? Just throw a dart at the “Axis of Evil” board and pick an “uncivilized” nation. It’s their fault. Why not?

unwilling to even engage with the idea that Russia seeks to eliminate Ukrainian identity

Camarada Forte did engage with this argument. The person who created this supposed dossier dictating Russia’s desire to destroy the Ukrainian identity has no direct link to the Russian government.

You need evidence we can engage with. We cannot meaningfully engage with empty platitudes.

Meanwhile you will turn yourself in circles to defend Russian aggression

Do you know what was going on in eastern Ukraine, beginning in 2014? Pretty similar to what’s going on in Gaza right now. Hint: it was not Russian artillery leveling homes, schools, and hospitals.

But then somehow I’m the brainwashed goon for actually attempting to maintain something resembling ideological consistency.

Awfully defensive there, bud. Speaking of ad hominem. 🙄

Wild how much footage is coming out of Gaza right now showing an actual ongoing genocide, yet Zionists and their water-carriers will harp on and on about how Israel is merely defending itself.

Nothing of the sort from Xinjiang. At all.

I’d like to see ONE verifiable image or video depicting this supposed Uyghur genocide we’re denying. ONE. Apparently it’s one of the worst human atrocities occuring right now. One of the worst in HISTORY.

So… show me a single picture. Fetish porn doesn’t count. Where are the dead bodies? Where are these supposed mass graves?

Love to break it to ya, they don’t fucking exist and they never did. You’ve been lied to.

I liked this article a lot, found it rather enlightening.

You think we’re gonna accuse OP of not being a real communist to satisfy your pearl-clutching fetish, to distance ourselves from their Amerika hate?

It’s a joke. “President Xi, I am an eight year old girl from Wisconsin suffering under the tyranny of the terroristic Biden regime. Please send tanks and bombs and liberate us. Thank you.” Are you so dense as to take this sort of mockery as a serious request?

“True Scotsman inbound…” looking ass. How do you not get embarrassed looking at yourself in the mirror? .

OP could joke (do you know what that is?) that they wish Satan himself would emerge from hell and consume Amerika whole and I don’t think anyone here would be like “that means ur not a real communist!!!” But you don’t know how to interact with people outside of the context of pseudo-intellectual logic-fetish arguments, do you? Muh no twue scotsman! Muh ad hominem! Muh wuhboutism!

Fuck off and shave your neck.

sole downvoter be like “schedules are authoritarian”

I voted Green Party that year cause I really believed in Jill Stein

Stein is more of a comrade of mine than many so-called communists who call her a quack or a fraud.

How many of us have been kidnapped and interrogated by the fucking FBI for posing a threat to the oil industry?

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Baraka as well. If Stein is a comrade, he’s a goddamn comrade. I will never forget shaking that man’s hand.

Myopic. Misanthropic. Pathetic. Pitiable. All words I think fit this thought process well. Miseducation is a horrible tragedy, and it is a meaningful part of our work to combat it… tiring, exhausting, and often mind-boggling as it might be to do so.
