lmao there's a fountain pen on AliExpress from a legit Chinese brand that revolves around the PRC national anthem. There's a yellow star on red background on the top, a guitar clip (the composer famously played a tiny guitar), there are swords on the nib commemorating The Sword March, and half of the pen is commie red while the rest is clear.

It's almost ugly but I need it. $12 on AliExpress. Will probably be cheaper when the summer sale starts in a week and a half.

If anyone is as silly as me, it's the Jinhao Tiandao 1935.

New race science just dropped

Elites also have a better understanding of the strategy for becoming and staying elite and they will teach their children to go on that path. Get education, save wealth, put it into owning businesses and screwing people over as needed on the way there.

Capitalism was not abolished over those years. Landlordism largely was, but otherwise there were just one-time corrective measures and some systems put into place to regulate the extremes. The underlying capitalist system developed in place and the corrective measures became less heavy-handed.

No, Zionists started this by being land-stealing settler colonists that put Palestinians into ghettos as part of an apartheid system. Decades of disposession, abuse, disablement, murder. Far, far higher numbers than you cite.

If you think that the equation is as simple as the number of dead women and children then you should be on the side of Palestine.

Some dogs are very reactive and no matter how good you are with them they are still a risk for biting. Sometimes they're reactive due to earlier maltreatment, sometimes it's something they were born with. Unlike with people, dogs don't have the higher reasoning or communication skills to control a reactive tendency nor do they have mental health support options. And when the dog is large and strong, this is a very dangerous situation.

Distributions? Categories? Sorry we only have quantiles and mean averages on tap for the rest of eternity.

Hillary's back, baby!

Misandry exists in non-systemic forms and the line of logic that says otherwise, in addition to being just plain incorrect, is easy for liberals to weaponize against us and against the concept of solidarity. I have seen this way of thinking used many times to split up groups rather than focusing on education and solidarity. It also runs contrary to several socialist analyses of this topic that are essentially dialectical where misogyny creates the basis for misandry, for example. This tweet is a good example of it. Patriarchal oppression creates (justified) disproportionate fear and distrust of men among non-men. Men must then also contend with being feared and distrusted.

And as you can see from "the discourse", men are often not equipped with ways to constructively deal with this reality and go down the reactionary path that tells them it's very unfair to them but without placing blame on the patriarchy itself - nor the underlying material basis for the patriarchy. It's our job to provide our own, more correct understanding of what is happening that pipelines the people who could move in our direction and have solidarity with us.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting bending over backwards to chase those that often benefit from oppression. Sometimes people overcorrect and make their spaces crappy and tolerate reactionary sentiment to be "inclusive" (I've seen it!). But it's self-limiting and counterrevolutionary to fail to educate and include those who do seek solidarity and working in our fight. We are much stronger together. Take the money from class traitors. Take the white people willing to put their bodies on the line for BLM. Take the Christians standing between Proud Boys and your Palestinian encampment. Or at least, try to educate them.

Those are all real they're just far less common and are minor in comparison to their "complement". They tend to be an internalized reaction to that complement even, of recognizing who primarily targets you and makes you unsafe.

They lack systemic power but that doesn't change whether they exist as prejudices and in the ways we interact with one another.

There are also situations in which localized power structures for them do exist. Small groups like clubs or sports teams. Obviously a smaller impact but still real and still alienating.

It's the basic building block of anarcho-syndicalism and I think Western leftists like to kind of just mix ideas together and call them things.

Hexbear is doing a great job marketing them and by that I mean I'm gonna get some tomorrow
