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.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I say "crank" because the person's posting history is...intriguing to say the least but then they just say something like this and you're like, "Holy fuck, even the cranks can see right through the neoliberal ghoul-slop"

Of course, not all of them are like this; but in response to the whole "drone debacle" that's going on right now over the U.S a lot of obvious lib-leaning types are quick to jump on it being "RUSSIA N CHINA!!" while these fellas are already jaded to it. Neat.

Then they go on and post about Sistine lizard people or whatever. Does anyone else know what I mean by these nuggets of consciousness?

every time i see comment chains in the UFO subreddits imagining post contact life on Earth they are all wishcasting communism or at least collapse of capitalism

so there's that at least. they just don't have a name for it

they also think this post capitalist thing, whatever it is, can't be built or conceived of by humanity and has to be imposed

A lot of it is wishful "humans are bad so our systems must be bad" kind of nihilistic thinking. Wishful and those two seem like on the opposite ends but it's more so "hopeful" like "humans suck so these aliens got to better"

Some thing they really don't get when you look at it from a materialist lens that even with the most "advanced technology" breaking the thousands/tens of thousands of years of language, habit and behavior that we have as a species that has impacted our conditions is quite a hard task. Post-contact would likely be unintelligible for the most part.
