there’s an irony in calling your channel ‘unlearning economics’ and then making a bunch of videos outing yourself as a smooth-brained succdem that refuses to investigate marxism beyond a superficial level

i love that ‘pissboy’ is more frequent than ‘piss stain’
It never stops bothering me when people say “comprised of”, as opposed to just “comprises”, or “composed of”.
I try to remind myself that I’m witnessing the evolution of language in real-time, but it just annoys me that what causes language to evolve is just people misusing it.
are cowards who don’t have the stomach for genocide
turns out this is basically anyone - the Nazis found that their initial enactment of the final solution (firing squads mostly) was hindered by the psychological impact it had on the soldiers doing it - hence why they tried to find more ‘indirect’ methods of murder, resulting in the gas chambers
is this loss?
back to germany
I’m guessing the “ethnic German” actually means they’re Americans with German great-great-great-great-grandparents
there is no broad left-wing party is the issue. the greens are lukewarm socialists/socdems, the NIP is socialist but small and regionalist, the worker’s party is just galloway being a careerist, all the communist parties have issues with racism/homophobia/transphobia/revisionism and no MP could survive the media while running as a communist anyway etc.
I may be biased as an anarchist but socialist independents seem to be the way to go for britain, given that every attempt at a socialist party invariably is usurped from within or sabotaged in the media - it’s harder for the MSM to sabotage hundreds of independent candidates rather than a single bloc, and voters tend to like independents for whatever reason - perhaps as an alternative to the westminster duopoly regardless of politics
it looks like it was originally posted on bilibili, so idk if there’s an option on the site to do that, or if it was edited in post or what
grand prix. big price
it’s all streaming services now, like they all had a meeting and said “let’s just collectively raise prices to optimum cockbag levels”, aka oligopoly
I hope you’re prepared for an unforgettable shitpost!
got a labour flyer through the letterbox today, turns out that among their candidate’s campaign promises are “stop the boats, end the hotel use for refugees and remove those with no legal right to be here”, which kinda just shows what they’re going for - daily mail readers
it’s been a while since i’ve been canvassed, but i wonder if i could restrain myself from revealing that far from ever being willing to support and vote for right-wingers, I want only to literally pull their heads off as a service to mankind and the world in general
I was thinking recently what it would be like if we replaced all aeroplanes with airships instead; like helium-filled zeppelins. If it meant saving the planet, surely everyone could tolerate a slower journey, after all, people used to spend days and weeks on ships travelling across the world.
The only real obstacle to this is the system’s incessant need to extract as much of everyone’s labour power as possible, not just over the course of a work day, but over their entire lives, meaning that any reduction in speed of travel, for instance, is intolerable, as it results in ‘wasted time’ that is not actively being spent on exploitation.
Scene from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 1, Episode 22, “Symbiosis”, in which Capt. Picard attempts to mediate a trade dispute between the Brekkians, (pictured) who possess large quantities of a valuable medicine called “spice”, and the Ornarans, who are in need of the drug to cure a plague.
In my own anecdotal experience, some people, consciously or otherwise, will continue to refer to trans people as ‘they’ after it’s been made apparent what their identity is.
It could be inferred that they’re uncomfortable with stating a trans person’s identified gender because they don’t ‘believe it’, which implies their usage of they/them is not simply being overly cautious or polite but because they don’t want to acknowledge said identity.
This would also apply to people using neopronouns too - refusing to use them essentially implies that you don’t believe in them and don’t acknowledge that person’s right to determine their own identity.
I was on citalopram/celexa for 3 months and felt no difference. they switched me to sertraline/zoloft which i’ve been on for 2 months and i still notice nothing - it’s like i’m not even taking anything
trogdor burninates the peasants; thus he is no comrade
in my area we have a separate tub for glass, and it doesn’t get collected, we just fill it then take it to the recycling centre where there’s a bottle bank or a bin for broken glass
