It’s pretty hilarious how nearly everything you listed as if they’re contradictory points actually come together rather comprehensively to support the thesis that Russia is having to fight a belligerent NATO. And the one item that doesn’t fit wasn’t ever claimed by Russia to be a reason for the conflict.
I seem to have lost track of why he’s invading.
I don’t know what anyone can do for you to cure your confusion when you can’t even connect the dots between the very things you are linking.
Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed.
It always gets brought up as a book specifically about an anarchist society, but I think that’s mostly just because of the more negative connotations of the word “communist” and that most people don’t understand anarchism and communism share the same end goal.
Say what the original commenter said? Sure. In fact my grandmother, were she still alive, would say something like that comment herself, and we’d both laugh. Well, minus the self deprecation bit (which was also fine, but also not what you inappropriately called “disgusting”). I wouldn’t encourage my kids to have low self esteem, but I would honor and empathize with them if they did. I also wouldn’t hold back on a “revolutionary mass cumming” joke in front of kids any more than a silly fart or poop joke, all of which kids come up with on their own and is fine. You are just a disgusting anti-human-experience prude who would rather disparage a comrade who is clearly having a rough time in some ways than actually give them solidarity or understanding. All because they mentioned the word “cum.” Oh no! How disgusting! Nah, your lack of empathy is what’s disgusting.
It wasn’t disgusting.
what is “disgusting” to you, that a comrade has severe self esteem issues? Or the volcel joke?
You can have exceptionally good hygiene and still get a bedbug infestation. In fact the only good thing about this is that I know even some rich bourgsie fucks who can afford perfect hygiene are getting their blood sucked by these critters too (a taste of their own medicine, really).
The comment section of the thread is almost exactly the same except for the the daily vs. weekly aspect. At hexbear there’s a mini essay or something like that as the post body each day but it’s usually not what gets talked about much. People being able to just make a comment about whatever or chatting about what they feel like is the same both places.
Oh noes, some poverty still exists in the country well known for rapidly pulling over 800 million people out of abject poverty!
Look at photos of just about any Chinese cities 2-3 decades ago contrasted with photos of those same cities as they are now. And then compare that to say New Orleans, or even the liberal bastion of San Francisco (look at those tent cities of unhoused people stretching for miles) 2-3 decades ago vs those cities as they are now. What you’ll see is a very obvious trend of poverty reduction in China and the clear decay of increased poverty in the US.
