Well damn. Looks like I have another podcast to listen to.
I fucking hate how libs will act as if good and evil are inherent traits and Trump supporters were apparently just born that way. I suppose if people's material conditions determined their behaviour it would mean libs aren't as "above it all" as they think they are and are just as much a product of their environment as Trump supporters.
Yeah, he's anti this war because he thinks it's time to cash in and start the next war.
I think you're probably fine then.
Imagine being so mad at hexbear that you make an account just to spam big essays full of nonsense, complaining about things no one on hexbear ever actually said.
I've said it before, but it must be so easy to be a reactionary. All you need to do is make some stuff up to get mad at, then pretend your opponent believes the stuff you just made up.
Guy on the left is their version of The Stig for sure.
Didn't they try to make an American version? We even got one here in Australia. It lasted one season.
Not to a lib it isn't. Being "uncivil" is far worse than actually causing massive amounts of harm after all.
OG Kratos or dad Kratos?
Normal, because I am a snorlax.
Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. Been discussing stuff with MLs of all stripes recently, and have come across a common statement used by a lot of Maoists which frustrates me.
They seem to always fall back on statements like "The CPC allows billionaires in their ranks, so they are revisionist."
Maoists have often used this as a kind of "gotcha" argument against more traditional MLs, or "Dengists" as they love to label us.
It's frustrating, because...I don't disagree really, allowing members of the bourgeoisie to hold political power is pretty much the definition of revisionism. The problem is, this feels more like a way to silence dissent or discussion rather than facilitate it. Feels like an overly simplistic hard line that simplifies history into binary divisions. Often followed by an implied "China is revisionist, therefore Maoism is the only working form of socialism."
I'm reaching out to people to see if anyone has any ways to combat this, in a way that encourages discussion rather than it just devolving into insults or truisms hurled back and forth without thought.
All the bad shit would usually happen because one of the kids (usually Arnold) didn't bother listening to her safety advice. She was a good teacher with shitty ungrateful students.
