Was drawn to this post for the same reason. C&H artists being based? Honestly wouldn’t have guessed it.

my favourite part about leftism in america and really most of the west is that you’re meant to be anti war, but you’re meant to just forget that it involves not flooding the world with killing machines
don’t worry that was handled before you were even born, fucking hell get out of my country
why are the cons resorting to the comrade harris thing, more than any other democrat I can remember they are leaning on this weird marxist angle where they make shit post tier commie posters of kamala
this is going to be laughable on the face of it to any center leftie and the further left you go the more you’re just creating a subconscious connection between kamala and communism that might even rouse a communist to give a shit just for the sick prop posters alone
I guess it’s just for the cons to share and updoot each other
truly comprehending that my way of life is only possible via the labor exploitation of countries I’ve never seen and are told not to visit did a lot to turn me into an insufferable tankie
it’s a weird premise for a political comic because like your average communist is just not going to participate in electoralism, you can figuratively drag them kicking and screaming and they’re still not going to vote for you lol
That’s sad, man. He is so confident that everyone else shares his innate incuriosity towards one of the most ancient and prevalent forms of art/expression that humanity knows. Because he’s so incurious and ambivalent towards reading he geniuenly doesn’t understand the unique benefits of sitting down and directly engaging with something in a purely cognitive way. He thinks everyone is like him and, funnily enough, reading a bunch of non-fiction is the best way to get yourself out of that headspace.
As an aside, and not breaking new ground here: this guy is intolerable to listen to? he has a really arrogant/smug personality that he can’t stop from shining through. He has terrible camera presence and I think he’s kind of embarrassing to listen to. How does he have a fan base?
Nothing gets me more ‘oh great commie forefathers we have failed you’ than seeing old soviet propaganda about uplifting and empowering women. I geniuenly believe we still need that to this day and absolutely loathe the placification of feminism under liberal ideologies
anarchism is a handy tool for radicalization. lots of people get attracted to the cool aesthetics of anarchism and that feeling of intellectual superiority you get when you can recite some obscure untested and unfounded political theory
so it’s ineffective outside of the individual’s ego but it does position them firmly against capital and modern statehood. if you sit in that long enough you start to build genuine hatred for the status quo. genuine hatred leads to genuine curiosity which leads to actually reading theory and uncovering the utterly absurd idealism of anarchist theory
this isn’t like a codified pipeline and anarchist theory still poisons the well of a lot of western leftist discussion, but most commies I know in real life had personal brushes with anarchism in their past. and if all else fails they’re still useful idiots when things get spicy. that whole ‘you’re alright now, it’s after the revolution we’ll have problems’ meme.
yeah tankies have fun with your revolutionary larping LOL you have NO Idea how the world works!!
anyway don’t you guys think russia will split into a dozen different states after a post-putin revolution? maybe even china would get involved hey anyone wanna play HOI4?
it’s not your fault that sort of crushing labor is poisonous to your soul. we’re all a product of our material conditions and yours are different to others.
i struggled a lot with work myself, feeling useless for most of my life because i couldn’t enjoy or even tolerate most types of labor that were available to me. there was no easy solution for me but it’s not an impossible situation to escape.
the support you’re going to get from your comrades on grad won’t be as helpful as support you can get from your co-workers or other people immediate in your life. when I worked a factory, we had union reps visiting throughout the week. even just talking to those guys made me feel sane, though the trade union situation in my local area meant they weren’t effective help, they were firm commies (that just couldn’t say so in as many words.)
i hate the whole ‘white women have sex with dogs’ meme
it’s disgusting, obviously, but it’s so mean-spirited as well. like it’s resentful, geniuenly hateful, due to a perceived trend that women have sex with dogs
of course almost all fetish content with animals is made at the behest of, with the involvement of, or specifically to appeal to, men.
If you join an official public server, there’s an extremely high chance you’ll join with cheater bots that spawn endless, aimbotting snipers. It’s less of a problem on community servers as they’re actively moderated by players, but official servers have to rely on vote kicking a fresh cheater bot every few minutes.
This is all done by some script kiddy group who apparently want to highlight Valve’s deprecated support. Basically ruin the game until Valve fixes the game. There’s also some measure of farming ingame item drops to sell for money, I think.
Honestly, I don’t believe save TF2 will get anywhere. Valve is clearly uninterested in supporting the game, and who could fault them? It’s an old game, and games don’t need to be supported just because people play them.
The real problem Valve is playing with is that TF2 is still monetized. They should not be selling microtransactions for a game this broken. If they weren’t selling microtransactions, they would be entirely in their right to kill all official support and leave the game to community servers.
My main concern is that Valve will calculate this over the bad PR they’re receiving, and rather than do anything to curb the bot problem, simply kill their support for TF2. I would be okay with this. I think most people wanting to #SaveTF2 won’t be.
my time working in a factory was similarly crushing, though, i always believed that if the job had paid well enough and considered me as a person and not a number on the floor, i would prefer manual labor over the mindless white collar shit i’m doing now. but we’ll never be in a position where labor workers are compensated entirely for the body and soul crushing work they’re expected to do, so i’ll never be in a factory again.
hopefully, anyway.
shit like this reminds me of before i was accepted for a line of credit, when financing a grocery store gift card to pay off over 4 weeks was the best way for me to keep the house supplied
This is the most haunting thing anyone has ever said to me on this website.
I think there’s something to be said about raising kids in a Marxist environment, though. Even if they grow up and have a fundamental disinterest in that sort of thing, you’ve normalized Marxist thought and maybe even warded off some brainwashing from capital. That’s a powerful thing, making even one to three new people who believe Marxism to be normal and logical in the west.
Plenty of children need adopting as well, but it’s made extremely difficult in comparison to just doing a creampie repeatedly. I would love to adopt. I consider it an actual dream of mine. But my government has essentially said, no, if you aren’t pulling in a high income and have the means to travel internationally frequently, you cannot adopt.
This is a ridiculous quote but probably only to us. This is the ideology I was taught. We learned all about colonialism and its horrors in school, but the conclusion was never that colonialism was bad. The conclusion the kids reached based off the information provided, the take away the teachers wanted to leave, and of course our governments position boils down to - ‘it sucked, but we wouldn’t have our great amazing world now without it :^)’
