Anything by Le Guin. She’s a revolutionary and visionary. Imo greatest sci-fi author ever.

Wait so are you mad at tankies or .ml? Or both?

Wait so .ml isn’t a community of tankies? I’ve been on here for 6 months and I just assumed that .ml was tankie central based on how people talk.

That sounds like a description of every troll. Tbh I keep hearing tankie thrown around, but I’ve never had the conversations people who complain about it have.

These kinds of arguments lack any kind of deeper thought or nuance.

I mean that’s what Zionists say about Pro Palestine group. That’s what Americans said about resistance groups in the middle east. That’s what Americans said about the Natives.

I just disagree with this entire philosophy. You should be able understand an argument you disagree with.

I mean I kinda get it. The biggest obstacle to World Peace today is the US. So you could make the argument that anything that opposes US Hegemony gets us closer to world peace. Idk that I would go so far as to “support Russia” but I understand the logic.

I love George Carlin but describing a soccer riot in Calcutta is a special kind of American.

Turns out I’m good at buying trees.

Tell me you’re alienated under capitalism without telling me you’re alienated under capitalism.

Whichever of the AC/Heat is on, just switch it to the other one. Or turn it off. Or open the windows.

We need to fix this definition because it is wrong. Labor is anyone who gets paid to work. As opposed to Capital who makes money off of owning stuff.

IT guys, engineers, doctors are labor unless they literally own the company.

LOOK AT HIS SHADOW! LOOK AT HIS SHADOW!

This is definitely my favorite Lemmy trend.

I’m a simple man, I see a community referenced Dean, I upvote.

One of my staunchest opinions is that most people including myself are idiots, so I probably should think carefully about all my opinions and I should be open to reevaluating them periodically.

Maybe that’s what the “terrorists” have been trying to tell us?

I live in downtown Chicago. Idk wtf he’s talking about. The only people scared are immigrants who are afraid of ICE.

You’re about to fix a lot of stuff but not the ankle pain.

It seems like progressives are finally making headway within the Democratic party. This has needed to happen for a decade. The Democrats have been working really hard to prevent it from happening, but I guess they can’t completely shut it down. The next decade will tell whether or not the Democrats can be a real conduit for progressivism, but if they can’t be, then both-sides-ism will be the least of your problems.

I’m tired of hearing liberals blame voters for not supporting their bullshit. The choices were fascist genocide or fascist genocide. Maybe your pathetic democracy has been dead for a while.

Ps: this is all assuming the establishment Democrats are themselves acting in good faith and not collaborating in an attemp to kill progressive grassroots movements.
