I have no anti-comm shirt in time for 4th of July!!!😡😤🤬Laterally 1967
In case anyone was wondering what to get me for Xmas…hint hint😂 /s
I love how American democracy provides us with many different positions and perspectives/s
Is it just me, or does 1985 Bears Coach Mike Ditka look like he could’ve been the leader of a Central/Eastern European Communist Republic in the late 50s-80s? I can’t unsee it now.
Right as I was getting off work after a horrible day, an old lib coworker cussed me out and called me a Bolshevik. I responded with a number of redacted responses because my last day is in 2 days. Part of me wants to go to HR just to fuck with him. Idk tho, I was really pissed in the moment, now just sorta laughing at it. He said his mom punched a Bolshevik🤣
I love my current job, it’s unionized, we get weekly pay, the managers are some of the kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet, let alone work alongside of, I get plenty of breaks and reading time when I’m not busy, I get Saturdays off and additional Sunday pay. But two things suck, the coworkers and the pay. One of my coworkers is an old Lib that was very Pro Ireland and we talked for a bit but he’s TERRIFIED of Soviets, like he’s literally spooked by me bc I wear a USSR jacket and Ushankas in winter. I also had a coworker that claimed to be Jesus. Yep, they thought they were the Son of God sent down to redeem humanity’s sinners. He also claimed to have been in the military, a few cults and a few mafias and eventually got fired for calling a young black coworker the Hard-R N-slur, so he was a piece of work. You could never trust what he says and would love to cockblock people. Very odd guy, tough to feel sorry for him but I kinda do, he’s obviously not all there. With all that craziness out of the way, I’m interviewing for a new position that makes like 2-3x as much as my current job and a lot more professional than a grocery. Technically the title of this post is a TINY bit misleading because I already did the interview early this morning. I had to look up stuff about the company and slob a whole bunch of corporate knob to make me seem interested in the job without sounding desperate. If it went well I go on to Interview #2 in-person, if THAT goes well, I get the job. Hopefully I never have to see that crazy wannabe Jesus dude again.
The incentives they give for people to join are disgusting. “Hey, tired of living in a country that we built to break you down and barely afford to live? Well, I mean if you really want out, you could, idk, maybe join up with the military, get some free healthcare, some money, a Camaro…or you could continue scraping by and hopefully you don’t get sick or injured or miss a few days of work. Just putting options out there for ya, you know, food for thought.” It’s so insidious
I’m glad this country is so stable that Fucking Garlic can strike fear into our hearts, great sign for us
I think I speak for most everyone when I say that this isn’t based, but marginally better than the Nazis that Ukraine brings into their ranks and radicalize other troops to accept Fascist-friendly brigades. Everyone here should criticize Russia in their many faults at the same time. That’s the beauty of the Dialectical Method, we can point out shortcomings and successes and address them as they are, not how we would like them to be.
I understand that nothing can be done to remedy the disgusting behavior that Chauvin did, but goddamn does it feel nice to see something like this. Chauvin spent a lot of his career tossing people into prison and was made an infamous part of US history in the 21st century when he brutally beat, chokes and murdered George Floyd. The 2 had worked together in the past, if Chauvin’s crime on its own wasn’t already 1st degree murder, that fact puts it over the top. To see someone like that in prison, and to know that he’s getting stabbed and living in fear, like the people he terrorized, well it doesn’t right any wrongs, but it’s something that you love to hear.
Ben Norton is one of the best commentators on modern politics, it’s tough to find people who are Pro-Russia for THE RIGHT REASONS! There are a shitload of Pro-Russia people who are supporting them because Mainstream media is against them and they’re not full on Nazis (otherwise they’d support Ukraine) so they think that they must be good. These people would support ISIS just to be confrontational. Ben Norton actually talks about the Euromaidan, the Alley of Angels and US Imperialism. Uncritical support indeed🫡
No lie gun ranges are cool, 99% of the people that attend are not
It wouldn’t work out great but it would be way more fair than the current system tbh, at least then we would go to war with other US states and not fuck around in Syria and Libya and Taiwan.
I have to say that I feel like the Chinese Revolution of 1949 has been utterly betrayed and sold out. Things used to be great. Now? A Marxist-Leninist? Truly dark and unprecedented times in China. I supported them until now, I can’t support Extremism smh Free TaibetJiang
Smh so disappointing they’re like “well we have agricultural safety concerns and we aren’t sure that the policy would work as intended…so let them starve instead nothing we can do so sad”
Y’know people like to point to this and be like “oh so you guys refuse to debate? You must be afraid that your echo-chamber is not as secure as you think, I have some points that will really make you re-evaluate your stances” and yea at first glance any normal person will be like, ok let’s hear them out… now skip ahead like 3 years… those Mastur-debators were proven wrong and given book recommendations to help better define terms, better help understand key aspects of theory and class struggle/ societal structuring of class antagonisms, and history. You would think the Mastur-debators would be like “huh, I don’t actually know as much about Marxism-Leninism or Dial-Mat, etc. as much as I thought” but no! New ones pop up and ask the same questions, BEST CASE SCENARIO, they bring up a new point to be corrected. Worst case scenario: aka the most common one, they just parrot back the same talking points as the last one did, and we have to shut down debate and be like “bruh we already covered this please read this, I’m not typing out a whole 4 paragraphs, this is on you to do your research next time” and all of a sudden we’re tankies that don’t wanna debate because we’re afraid of it.
I had to go there recently for Milk at like midnight (My Dad is so odd lol, he drinks milk at the most random hours and NEEDS 2 gallons of milk in the fridge at all times) and not to sound judgmental or rude, but you see the strangest assortment of people there. They also typically have a cop car in their parking lot which is super weird. Lots of “surveillance cameras” that I hear from some people are not even powered. Half the cameras are empty just to scare you, some of them are real and they show you what’s being filmed to discourage theft. Anything for cost cutting measures. I suppose the threat of a camera is just as good as a physical camera, hell it worked on me, I didn’t steal anything.
