Person

does hexbear have a reading list somewhere? I'm specifically interested in WW1 & WW11 history

I have been reading a little bit more this year and it's enjoyable and I feel like I want to continue reading more. Trying to think about what books/subjects. I'm friends with self-described anarchists and MLs and want to be able to engage with them both a bit better lol.

But also, living in a society where I'm effectively surrounded by liberals at all times, including family, I think it's more important to engage with them about politics. I often feel paralyzed to respond to their comments because we have such different understandings of the world.

Maybe I should try writing more?

Idk I'm high and it took me an hour to write this comment so maybe not

actually y'know what I'm stupid, saw another article about this today and it finally clicked to me that this news story is literally about thousands of new housing units being built so this neighbourhood could very well be unpopulated at the moment. that might explain the empty streets lol (and also why this never happens in the west)

this one is pretty cute i like it

how much ETH?

doctor's keep telling me to lose weight but idk i like eating treats. my health is definitely suffering, true, but treats are good so waht's the problem really. doctors are silly

it is real though and anyone who says otherwise isn't a leftist

But also if it's an ocean planet and doesn't have a dense iron core, it's gravity won't necessarily be greater than the Earth's

Honestly like all of the news/content I see on the DPRK is pretty fucking positive lol (albeit I don't see it that much and overall I would say I don't know much about the country/culture).

I could see my comment being counterproductive in the sense that it seems like something a concern-trolling lib might say, so I'm sympathetic to the idea that I should have just not posted it. I guess I figured this was a leftist enough space that people wouldn't take my comment in bad faith, but I feel like that's what you did. Because, while I did admit that maybe this is just some cultural difference or something I'm not aware of (and not some sinister evil government plot) - you saying you can find 1000 pictures of cities in the west like this genuinely surprises me.

Like... I've lived in regions that look a lot like this, in terms of building size and everything. Places where streets are frequently shut down for events. But usually, such events attract stragglers at the borders, usually there's lots of people coming and going. This is all just what I'm used to seeing and I'm not trying to apply some sort of value judgement to that but I am nonetheless surprised by your claim that this happens all the time in the west because, frankly, I don't think I could produce one similar picture if I tried. If you want, you can dig some up for me, but I'll take you at your word that you've seen this a lot. I guess I just haven't?

Well yeah but I live in a city that has events too and usually the rest of the roads are not just shut down and devoid of people. Hell I'm not ruling out that I'm being ignorant and this is just some cultural thing but I'm just saying it looks kinda surreal to my eyes

It does look kinda weird to me in that first pic how empty the streets are outside of the rectangular borders of the crowd. I think I see one other person along that main street?

naahhh, this is just media hyperbole. Not even the republicans would ignore the parliamentarian, that's just beyond the pale.

you might be a redneck if
