Lots of overlap between the two, if not outright the same audience.

If Pacheco is a socdem, and this is a counterargument, it appears he’s reassuring Pacheco that you can make the changes necessary for Brazil without having a revolution, which is what social democracy was built for, to prevent revolutions and anything from fundamentally changing, which is in tune with social democracy being centrist.

That’s my reading if it helps.

This kid really needs to log out.

Gotta love the ‘‘Peaceful Parenting Coach’’ telling people not to share. Doesn’t sound too peaceful to me. These people never follow logically what they say. They’re saying that kids shouldn’t share. What will that look like as they grow? They will turn into selfish, individualist assholes. Now, we don’t even need to picture in theory what a society filled with entitled assholes looks like, because we have prime expressions of varying degrees throughout Western societies and anywhere bourgeois democracies take hold. And we see the problems that brings for get this, society, you know that thing that humans make up? Honestly, they never follow-up logically their prescriptions, which have plenty of proof in the real world, and it’s not good.

I’ve noticed that, too. I think it’s thanks to the mods and us having an actual line, like a direction that is consistent, coherent and adjusts itself as events unfold. Because we’re not dogmatic. What is that line? What Comrade, darkcalling mentioned down here, the unity of Marxists. We’re clear on what we think, and new people either come in already clearheaded or they slowly see what we’re like, and join in. We have good people, and I mean that. I come here to learn and laugh everyday. I guess we’re just that cool, that we don’t start beefs with each other or with our Hexbear friends.

The man, the legend, the running gag of Lemmygrad, Wisconcom.

There are some real gems down there…Tales of bulletproof dresses, Slavic stereotypes of barbarism lacking ‘‘moderate’’ politics, and smol beaning about monarchies.

Also funny that he pulls the patsoc trope of using AI art. Long paragraph full of word salad combined with the AI art picture in the end…

Hahaha, it was exactly because of the AI slop at the end that I just had to post it.

One of my favorite brands of silliness.

‘‘Free thinkers’’ love to think of themselves as ‘‘enlightened’’, as brilliant individuals whom have ‘‘cracked the code’’, broke the binary, went beyond the pale of ‘‘good and evil’’, rose above the filth of material reality, of left and right in political terms.

There are none more sheepishly led by the nose than those that think they’re free, paraphrasing from Goethe, and deliberately utilizing the word ‘‘sheep’’ in there. Because these are the clowns that always call people ‘‘sheep’’ while, as comrades have pointed out, bleating state department talking points. They think they’re freed from material reality, ‘‘free spirits’’ roaming aimlessly, ‘‘sovereign citizens’’ in defiance of state decrees. The amount of irony in their existence is what I find most entertaining, and why I love seeing their ass takes on YT comment sections.

Tiananmen Square, v. To disappear, to hide.

ex. ‘‘Roger tiananmen squared his toys’’, ‘‘Why did you tiananmen square that from me?’’, ‘‘I heard this old building was tiananmen squared’’

I will stop here in order to not lathe this into a thing, although reddit will take care of that.

Man, you reminded me of something…A couple of months ago, maybe 2-4, there was this stupid ‘‘presentation’’ from escuálidos, Venezuelan gusanos, out in Times Square, and they brought their own VR headsets, talking about probably at most 30 people pestering passerbies (can’t believe that ain’t a word), and the idea was that you’d wear the headset and have a VR ‘‘experience’’ of being ‘‘tortured’’ in the Helicoide, a prison in Venezuela.

The thing is, this is like the Uyghur bullshit, it’s the same MO, cause all they have are drawings, ‘‘testimonies’’, basically hearsay and rumors from ‘‘political prisoners’’ (all convicted for pulling shit, but the second they’re caught they become ‘‘political prisoners’’). Like, that is literally it. There’s nothing there, no hard proof. I’ve seen those clowns and they don’t have a scratch on themselves and some even got out of that prison fatter or jacked up. It made me laugh when I saw it cause they went and made one of those infamous Steam greenlight shitty ‘‘games’’ to feel tortured cause it’s all they got.

My gut leads me to think that the truth lies on the side of what Noah and Brendan said. Why? Because I’ve listened to Vincent Bevins before on interviews and he’s still fighting with that idealism. Why do I make this claim? Because he still thinks that some people involved in the HK riots, the guarimbas in Venezuela, the Maidan shit, etc, were well-meaning, but their movements were taken over by reaction, in other words, co-opted. I do not believe that and hindsight is 20/20. These activities from the moment they were invented had a direction, and just because some well-meaning folks who spout ‘‘leftist’’ slogans were duped, does not mean those movements were at any time on our side.

Let’s look at the HK shit. We saw from the beginning, Union Jacks and signs asking Trump to intervene. Later we saw even Azov clowns over there, and they were calling people in the mainland of China, cockroaches or locusts. Nobody here with their head on straight, will look at that and conceive, in any way possible, that those people are ‘‘left’’ or fighting for anything good. Let’s look at Maidan next. I don’t give a shit if Yanukovych isn’t a lefty or anything, but the people out in the streets were supportive of the EU, that’s a red flag for me, while shouting pro-Western slogans, and being overtly Russophobic, plus, we even saw US officials on stage over there.

But, bro, I see a US flag or something, and my sirens go off. Because I’ve seen enough, man. I’ve been following Venezuela’s story closely for the past 6yrs or so, and I’ve learned so much observing escuálidos. These people never act spontaneously or alone. Reaction is always directed, and from the same studio at ‘‘Always the Same Map, Inc.’’

Now this is what I call praxis.

And, boy, do we have some highly ‘‘skilled’’ contenders in the Gusanery Awards! A veritable international competition on who bends their knees the lowest, who licks boots the cleanest, who sells out for the lowest amount, who self-hates the deepest, whose dignity is the basest, who claims to have lost the biggest farm, whose grandpa lost the largest monopoly, who owned the most slaves, who comes up with flag pairings that baffle the soul, whose buffoonery was the cringest?!

Will it be the bobaliberals with their self-deprecation towards the West? The all-time classics, the gusanos? The bolsominions who rode in front of trucks, cried like babies and threw tantrums all over Brasil? The pititas whose lives improved under Evo Morales, became ‘‘middle class’’ and started hating the MAS that brought them there? Or will it be one of my personal favorites, the escuálidos, whom follow the ‘‘President of a Thousand Faces’’, yes, the legendary Juan Guaidó, whom went on to fill the presidencies of various countries under such pseudonyms as John Whitedough, Jin Guraido, Jun Guaidosuke, John Guaidington, Ivan Guaidonov, Jean Guaideaux, and many others! Stay tuned for this year’s Gusanery Awards!

The Space Force, like US hegemony, means, to adopt our comrade’s metaphor, to ‘‘Kesslerize’’ humanity by caging it in.

Yeah, I was more pointing out how the Guy Fawkes mask always shows up among ‘‘anti-authoritarians’’/hackers/color revolutions, etc, so it’s become for me an immediate sign that things are not good.

First pic, and there it is, a Guy Fawkes mask.

You’re not alone, Kirby, I do the same, and at least like myself, I haven’t seen you engage. You’re just there to observe the dumpster fire and learn how it got that way. 😂
