Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

My family are mostly Democrat voting liberals and I identified as one for years. When I was in 5th grade I spent more time with my Fox News-watching grandparents and became a Republican for like a year or 2 and became an apolitical lib for a while. From like 2015-2019 I was a Bernie bro who had some objectively shit takes. The biggest 180 I did was probably on the sex trade. I used to be for it as a horny teen like “huh? Did someone say SeX?? Well it’s all ConSeNsUAL so why cockblock someone from getting some PuSsY?” Obviously now I realize that’s a disgusting sentiment and that most people in the industry are not happy and would rather do anything else. Just because a few are happy with their line of work, it doesn’t make it right to force so many others into a position where they feel abused and humiliated or threatened. “Legitimacy of industry” in terms of prostitution always means lining the pockets of abusive pimps (physical or anything else) who will use the opportunity to get rich and usually fund illegal markets (source: Look at Nevada). Enough about me, what topics have become more clear to yall after becoming a communist? I could probably list a few others but I’m interested in seeing what yall say.

I once argued against Makan in favor of PCUSA. Now that I know they’re open patsocs with no understanding of Marxist philosophy I bash them any chance I get.

Another thing is that I used to say I hated coconut but now like it a lot.

Theres a lot more that I can’t think of.

As an early Marxist I had an appreciation for them but didn’t understand what they were for. Then I saw that like 40% of them were also Pro-Trump people somehow (I know how, but still it’s weird when you step back and think about it) and the rest were probably misguided thinking it was THE vanguard party for the beleaguered masses of the US

I did not know that. That’s insane, but makes sense considering all the patsocery and punching left. How did you learn that? We’re they polled or something?

oh I don’t know the actual numbers on who voted for which candidates, I just mean that a bunch of Twitter and Tiktok accounts of PCUSA have MAGA with an American flag emoji. CPUSA has even more of that. Like Max Blumenthal reply guys/Haz Infrared

Sure, I didn’t expect to see an actual poll, but “MAGACommunism” in a “vanguard party is still quite shocking. I think I mentioned such an ideology being related to Patsocism to some PCUSA people and they shut it down, but the truth is there is quite a relation.
