Nah, they’ve always been selling it as Mao data. And I still 100% believe the NSA is involved
- Comment on California voters reject Prop 32, raising the state's minimum wage to $18 8 hours ago:
It’s not like the goal is to disenfranchise those people.
Sometimes very literally, mind you.

Funny, because my friends who were teachers all quit teaching.

All it took was the destruction of the American Republic to make lazy people spend five minutes looking for alternatives

Same. It was in the Tennessee suburbs so there was actually a lot of racism, but dude was like, Klan level racist, and that’s just rude.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 4 days ago:
Socialists are very, very aware that the oppressed masses of people that don’t know what words mean love socialist policies when they don’t know they’re socialist.

Where am I going to get my more or less subtle quasi-fascist messaging now?

- Comment on Swords suck, spears are a way more effective weapon 5 days ago:
Ugh.
- Comment on Swords suck, spears are a way more effective weapon 5 days ago:
There’s this really annoying trend on the YouTube HEMA-type channels where they give unarmored and unshielded amateur college students swords and spears to “test” swords and spears and then crown the spear best weapon, no notes.
- Comment on Swords suck, spears are a way more effective weapon 5 days ago:
I always find it fascinating the kind of things people will say because they saw a YouTube video once while ignoring all the actual historical context, like the Romans building their empire by fighting spear phalanxes with sword (and javelin) based legions.

Also rust protection. Northern cars just having the floor fall out is less of a thing.
- Comment on is "oh boy" considered a gendered term? 1 week ago:
Ooh boy, not racist.
Ooh, boy, racist.
Easy moment of confusion tbh.
- Comment on is it ok if i don't identify as latino?? please don't say otherwise please 1 week ago:
I think ending chattel slavery in America gets you significant based bonus points, as does actually listening to your socialist advisors, which is something that stopped happening in America after him.

Chaucer, Heywood, Shakespeare…
- Comment on Is "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy considered a good book? 1 week ago:
Yeah, all of the Rainbow Six plotlines are about people conservatives hate.
- Comment on Is "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy considered a good book? 1 week ago:
Good is relative. Finnegan’s Wake is a masterpiece, and it’s also deliberately obscure to the point you either need an education matching Joyce’s or a reading companion.
Is that good?
Is it bad if it is not approachable? Is it good if it is?
Red Storm Rising is one of the best modern military fictions according to a lot of fans of the genre, but that’s doesn’t mean you have to like it. I’ve got some straight up gunporn series I read when I’m in a mood for reading about automatic shotguns firing explosive shells into vampires, but I wouldn’t call them good at anything but that and objectifying women.

You should maybe consider the concept of internalized racism and why this is so important to you.
That said, race is a social construct so put whatever the hell you feel like on government forms just to fuck with them.

This is simply untrue. Lincoln was based AF.
And, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
FDR was almost SocDem. Grading on a curve for segregation, but that’s not too bad considering what the German and Greek SocDems wanted to do at the time!
See? That’s two whole presidents.

Tbf most men don’t have that much input in the process of making woman organisms. They’re just expected to buy pickles and ice cream from time to time.
- Comment on Is it expected to tip for furniture deliveries? 1 week ago:
Tipping furniture deliveries isn’t spreading the culture because it has been a thing for decades:
For difficult deliveries consisting of more than one item. You buy a whole living room of furniture you have them put on the third floor, you should tip.
Buying one couch, not so much.

I need to hear more about these translation errors he just throws out there in a single line.
- Comment on Paul vs. Tyson 1 week ago:
He did serve his time, but yeah. Always a bit weird. Especially when you’ve got some real contemptible quotes from him like in this article:
independent.co.uk/…/mike-tyson-jake-paul-boxing-r…
If he was remorseful or even just didn’t want to talk about it’d be one thing, but he isn’t.

Not only do tariffs decrease demand by increasing cost, I think you’ll find that people have, in fact, considered that idea before.
