I love how you frame Arch as the default which isn’t wrong but there are also Ubuntu nerds out there like me 🤓

I didn’t think of the fascists as revolutionary so I was confused and asked. After you didn’t answer me the first time, I asked again. If that would have made sense to me, I wouldn’t have asked. Thanks anyway for using this opportunity to insult me.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
TIL. Thanks
Still: what do you mean “both of the revolutions”? Anarchist and bourgeois?
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
Ok, I guess my reading comprehension sucks at the moment, sorry. It’s not my native language and I have other stuff occupying my mind right now.
I still don’t understand what you mean by “both of the revolutions” but my view is that there was an anarchist revolution going on and the Soviets were against it because it would undermine their legitimacy as only path toward liberation (which they were not, neither the only nor any path to liberation)
I thought they supported the republicans but I might be wrong. That would be even worse. I still don’t think it would have been realistic to annex the iberian peninsula. From all I know, they said that it’s not time for any revolution, not that a bolshevik revolution would work.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
That sounds like a big misunderstanding. I said that the bolsheviks were against the revolution in Spain and I thought you were the tankie disagreeing with me. What is your standpoint and what do you think mine is?
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
I don’t even understand what that means. And some educated tankies will explain away why Stalin was right and Spain wasn’t ready for a revolution. But some people don’t know stuff.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
Ok, that gave you away. I mean, the bolsheviks didn’t even want a revolution but allied with the republicans to build a liberal bourgeois democracy
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
Not sure if joking or stupid. I tend to the former but being on the internet long enough, I can’t rule out the latter
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
I totally agree with you. That said, tankies will argue some shit why they are further left. You can go into that discussion about the semantics of left and distract from the fact that tankies are evil. Or stop “gatekeeping” leftness and argue why they are bad.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
I’m not surprised. If anything, I was surprised to be accepted into it at the first place. Sometimes I’m surprised by the low level of education some people have. You mentioned Catalonia. Some people don’t seem to know nor want to know anything about the Spanish civil war or the anything. I sometimes try to argue with people from different ideologies because I think it’s an opportunity for all to grow and sharpen their position but I’m not surprised to be downvoted. In no comment of this thread did I express surprise
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
No, I’m not a Marxist. I agree with him in some points and agree with some libertarian Marxists but at the end, they say alot of stuff Bakunin, Kropotkin, Goldman, … said long before
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t mean to disagree with you. Just add that they are formally open to other leftist viewpoints but not effectively.
And yes, you will get alot of strawmans like Engels’ On Authority. If you want an analysis of the text, this video debunks it quite well

I have an account on lemmygrad and when I created it, I was asked about my politics. They formally accepted every left ideology but when you say anything remotely anti-authoritarian, you get downvoted into oblivion

English has more auxiliary words so I think in word count, English as more words in a sentence.

I had dyslexia as a kid and long words freaked me out especially. I never realized that this isn’t a thing for kids in other languages. But honestly: while they have a shock value, they aren’t that common really

And why does this “someone else” focus on them? Because of the worldview that earth is special and not one of many planets. And that humans are special and not just one of many species
- Comment on Title 1 month ago:
I don’t think you can separate these easily. Many Christian academics will point out that the bible doesn’t really care about the shape of the earth but just reflects what people in the area thought. Same with the creation. Scholars will point out that the bible isn’t consistent in the narrative of creation so these stories have a different, non historical meaning, explaining how the world is structured and how it works right now.
On the other hand, if you believe that God created earth in 6 days and made it special, the other planets can’t be equal to us. Something the text doesn’t really care about. It doesn’t care about Mars or the Sun or the Moon, it just mocks the polytheists around that believe they are gods.
I mean there is alot in the bible you can take out of context and claim important. Why do people single out the flat earth and creation in 6 days? And historically, people had pseudo scientific theories focused on other parts like the 3 sons of Noah originating 3 different kinds of modern day peoples. There is a lot more and a lot to learn from why people choose to focus on this or that.
