I’ve never understood how you could actually effect sparrow populations in rural China. I used to consider it one of the L’s of communism until I thought about the logistics of it.

You might be able to drive birds out of a densely populated city with a bit of effort, but Mao-era rural China? What?

Exactly right. They push a cynical and loveless socialism that has disunity baked into it.

The people they are pandering to aren’t being won over. Their beliefs are being reinforced when they see that even the lefties can be bigots.

“It’s unclear” can be translated to “I’m not listening.”

I’m not aware of any statements from the NZ government on the election. I doubt most of the countries in red have seen any reason to comment on it either.

This map is a copy+paste west vs. east.

“America is already destroyed, we called you names.”

I wish the Soviets had tried that.

I think (hope) it just people getting into the satire.

The game never seems to paint the antagonists with any ideology though. So when people like the one in the OP start talking about communism they’re telling on themselves.

I’m relieved to say I wasn’t part of it. I’m not about to take your word on how it really went down though since I can read.

our little arrogant tone. The self awareness is genuinely spooky.

Exhibit A here folks.

This lib has equated “your tastes are juvenile” with telling them to off themselves. This ambitious stretch of reality is necessary to reduce this community to a hateful mob without nuanced opinion in their eyes.

“What does that mean?”

It means he’s forgotten who the president is again.

Describing genocide makes me feel emotions. I’d rather they just pretend it’s not happening like the good western countries.

There’s been enough members of the Israeli state that have expressed a very clear intent.

But yeah, The Hill seems to be implying that the massive civilian casualties are ok because “it’s not genocide”.

Even the ones that aren’t blatant leftists represent a break of the status quo. Big budget heroes always want to keep things as they are and are never fighting for positive change.

Kinda. That shape gets used by a bunch of armed forces. The arms of the German iron cross are kinda pinched in the middle.

Maybe I’m unfamiliar with the distribution of emergency aid, but never in my life have I seen goods so vaguely labelled. It appears they’ve slapped that label on every side and made no attempt to catalogue what might be inside

Might have been a racist spirit.

Agreed. As socialists we often struggle to educate other members of the working class on how a change in their political outlook would benefit them. Trying to change their cultural, religious, or philosophical views is not only arrogant but has also often been historically been disastrous.

Nah, just vote a bit harder.

Who knows? Another hundred years and another minority might get rights.

Pretty much any post more than a few hours old on lemmygrad has a lone downvote on it. Either it’s a committed lib or they made a bot. Either way it’s a good example of liberal praxis.

Prime minister and Supreme leader are literally synonyms yet have such wildly different implications.

Jokes aside it’s a good conversation. It is a vague term and continues to be the world’s most popular word for the greatest crime imaginable. What I find interesting is that mass killing of people of a particular political ideology still falls out of the bounds of the ever growing definition of genocide.100,000 communists in South Korea are systematically killed and it doesn’t capture the imagination quite the same if it can’t be called genocide.

I’m not arguing that genocide should be a more vague term. I feel like a need a word for mass killing of largely unarmed demographics that is more flexible.
