I would almost rather have someone tell me to cure aids by “rubbing some dirt in it”
I’m not gonna deny I get nervous when I see other anime PFPs. For one, most anime sucks, so I’m wondering what’s in it for them. Is it fetishizing Japanese culture the way you mentioned, is it being an actual predator who fetishizes high schoolers, are they into some of the series that have misanthropic malthusian or fascistic themes, is there actual nostalgia for Imperial Japan, or feudalism for some damn reason. Also there’s the whole incel obsession with Japan which is distasteful to mention and I will gloss over.
When I do it, it’s cool, and charming. 🥸

Ben Norton’s site. You want people who approach this from an anti-NATO perspective. People who know their history and want to dismantle monetary imperialism.
The way I look at it, Russia got cornered into doing something based. We wouldn’t roll our eyes during WWII and scold people for saying Hitler is bad, because France etc is imperialist. DPR & LPR are fighting for national liberation.
Danny Haiphong seems to interview everyone mentioned in this thread lately. He’s had Carl Zha & the New Atlas guy on, two of my other faves.
This is Sison being interviewed by Radio Free Asia from the safety of the Netherlands, calling for attacks against Chinese businesses in the Philippines because Duterte made the briefest of gestures towards China before snapping back to the sea border dispute, a few weeks after the US blacklisted these very firms.
That’s an interesting idea.
You know I see people posting WSWS all the time and they manage to catch a lot of people who don’t notice them like, denouncing the party doing a strike they’re covering positively as “deceiving the workers” in the article they shared, don’t know about their anti-“cancel culture” shit where they root for Harvey Weinstein and shit.
/c/Trotskyism could just become a repository of deranged and COINTELPRO trot behavior, history, etcetera.
Hey! I look at the memes and also girls will try to get you to follow them on there lol. Idk this seems cool
