There is this youtube channel called "rational animation" that is full of libaral brainrot. This one video being a prime example.

The ousing liberalism and idealism in this channel has been bothering me for a while and I've been wanting to ask your opinions and criticisms of it.

Well I wonder who's fault that is.

Why is France's contribution so much bigger than anyone else's? Do we produce that much more weapons than the rest of Europe?

Turkey is cooking.

These are the facts and I could give you charts with the soviet export.

Why say I could and not do it? If you have sources, give them. You haven't linked any source whatsoever in this entire thread to back up your wild claims.

Ha yes, you can just do that. It's totally not out of reach for all the peoples who have to work 2~3 jobs at once and still can't save any money because even the basic necessities for survival are sold at extortion prices not to mention possible medical, college debt or mortgages.

You're confusing private property with personal property. While this is a very common mistake, you can't claim to have an informed opinion about communism while still making it, it's 101 level stuff.

Further, you are also making the other very common error of assuming the state is oppressive because it is like some kind of monolith somehow cut off from the rest of society as though the peoples staffing it weren't as much part of society as everyone else, this is not the case, whether a state apparatus is oppressive and against whom it is oppressive is dictated by the class character of the state, a factor that is systematically neglected by the peoples using variations of "power always corrupt" truisms to "analyze" a state.

tl;dr: you're knowledge of communism and communist theory and praxis is very surface level at best, go read some reading list from prolewiki's library, To criticize something you need to know at least the basics of it first.

Ha, yes. The infamous "deathworld" trope. They absolutely love this one but can never do it well.

I'm sure there is a way to make Earth the most dangerous planet or whatever for plot reasons in a way that work, but this aint it. The way "deathworld" is defined in these stories is always so hollow, lazy and vibe based it's just not believable at all.

I'm not too familiar with 40k so I don't know. I'm talking about HFY stories on I've read on the internet, so stuff not written by professional writers.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

HFY, as far as my experience goes is like 70% lowest common denominator cookie cutter sf trope, 29% cryptofash genocide fantasy about how the aliens deserved to be genocided, and once in a blue moon you find some of the 1% stories that aren't too bad.

The deprogram episode on her is good at exposing how terrible Kopmala is.

 

It explains in details how and why the front collapse and what that means for both Russia and Ukraine.

Fore some times, mastodon has been unsafe for black and other minorities users, the peoples impacted by this have been complaining about it openly, emphasizing the lack of good moderation tools to make instances safer. The s on the dev team and userbase however have essentially plugged their ears and refused to listen, and instead engaged in bad faith, tone policing, minimizing racism, dismissing the testimony of black users, and telling them to "curate their experience better" with filters and blocks (even though a big part of the complaint is that this doesn't work).

Seeing this, some black peoples who have been complaining about racism on mastodon and the lack of security features to deal with it have taken things in their own hands and made a fork of Mastodon named Awujo.

A relevant thread by @[email protected] (admin of a black queer instance who has been very vocal about racism on mastodon and has received a lot of backlash for it, go check their account for more threads on the subject)

"A Case for Community" a very short essay written by Awujo founder @[email protected] about the project

I created a TankieTube channel called The tankie playlist to store my leftist music playlist in case youtube takes them down and so I can have an ad free experience and share music I like with comrades while I'm at it.

I have posted 94 music (including variations of a same song).

Enjoy 😉 🎶
