Tony Blair was a trot, Keir Starmer was a trot. I feel like this says a lot lol

I’m pretty sure most people would agree that art is the product of an artist, not just ‘thing that looks nice’

What is the deal with Ukrainian Nazis anyway — do they see themselves as not Slavic or something?

Op isn’t saying that anarchist organizing principles are deliberately inefficient at scale

It’s actually kind of an open secret at this point that he got an actor to do his radio addresses lol. Also interesting to note that the only data we have wrt his popularity at the time is the 1945 election in which he absolutely shat the bed. He’s been subsequently sainted as part of the ‘tiny island, standing alone’ myth making of the post-war era though

I feel like you lose a lot of credibility when your geopolitical analysis hinges on boners. I think very few would disagree with you if you said that Putin were cynically pursuing his and the Russian state’s interests in the region, with complete disregard for civilian life.

The point is not that there are ‘a tiny number of Nazis’ in Ukraine The point is that there are a large number of Nazi paramilitary forces who were committing mass murder in Donbas well before the Russian invasion, and the Ukrainian government was complicit in these crimes, in addition to crimes of their own, such as shelling civilian targets. By all means, let’s talk about ending the conflict, because the suffering of the people of Ukraine has gone on long enough, but a necessary first step is acknowledging that the conflict had already begun long before Russia invaded.

I thought this was a good reply: https://hexbear.net/comment/6454811

Remind me, what were the demographics of the Confederacy

Lmao at the notion cinemas hire a for specific ‘janitor’ role

Maybe he’s talking about Tyrannosaurus Rex

How is it for getting into corners?

So good

I think if they could have seen into the future they would have noted that their descendents are all rich, and that the anglo empire has continued into the 21st century, although with its capital in a different place, and said “carry on”

I’m waiting for the LLM to reply

Ngl I do get the arguments against gun control in the abstract, and I’m maybe even sympathetic to some of them, but then I look at America and ehhhhhh

Yeah a lot of effort has been put into presenting socialism/anarchism/Marxism as a reaction against humanistic liberalism (Stephen Pinker perfected this narrative), but the reality is that they are a development of it, and I do think we need to regain that sense of continuity somehow

Fuck yeah

Again though, I really can’t blame people for being disillusioned with the democratic system in general, right? We’ve just been through a generational moment where any viable left opposition in the West got shit-housed into oblivion, and AOC is giving us a great lesson in what succeeding through the proper channels means in practice. And what has been the response from the political class more generally? To move even further right!

It’s a miserable situation ofc, and I don’t blame you at all for venting. But neither do I blame people for venting despite doing nothing else. Sanders raised a lot of money, and a lot of volunteer hours, and what did it yield? And the fallout from Corbynism has been as bad if not worse. Many people got blacklisted over it, and several door knockers ended up in hospital — why would anyone want to put themselves on the line like that again, especially when the potential gains are so meager?

Dgmw, I too wish that people would channel their anger through effective organizing, but imho it’s become a lot less clear in recent years what that would mean.
