I value your comments so much. I try to be patient and educate others but it is incredible how thoughtful and methodical your responses are. Thank you.

I can call you a tankie dear

I’m unsure on whether you’ll receive a notification for this message, but if you have a lot of time to kill and enjoy podcasts you might wanna check out Blowback season 1 which deals with Iraq and explains the broader context. So many American liberals (and definitely the establishment) wanted to invade Iraq and they did, but since it’s now considered to have been a bad thing so many liberals retroactively pretend they were always against it.

Bless you 🙏

No capitalist country can have a good democracy, some have just way better PR than others. Hell, the crackdown on pro Palestinian protests in western liberal democracies proves that.

In a very banal sense yes, no interesting conspiracy, just structurally undemocratic shit

For some people the world outside of Europe isn’t real, it’s insane

Incredible

No one is claiming China achieved communism, we just believe its policies reflect an attempt at building it. It’s also silly to slander a socialist state as “authoritarian” if you have read the bare minimum of Engels. If you’re earnest on supporting communism I encourage you to look into the compatible left and seek non western perspectives more broadly.

I haven’t looked into all European separatist movements, but afaik that makes you based

The Russian psyop comment 😭 really went into bunch of asians territory

When Harris lost after a disastrous campaign trying to gain right-wing votes over they blamed their loss on us trans folks and threw us under the bus already. A democrat government is less bad domestically, don’t get me wrong, but only slightly. Look into the ratchet effect.

If you’re unsafe in your state and you can afford internal migration you might wanna look into moving to a blue state with decent protections, unfortunately the federal government won’t give a shit. Stay safe out there.

I don’t mean this with any disrespect or ill intent, but have you considered that you wanting a regime change to begin with may have something to do with decades of media manufacturing your consent for it, with outrageous claims of what goes in it but overlooking the modest successes of the government even under constant aggression and massive sanctions?

I laughed out loud, bless you

Met my partner back when both of us were libs, I radicalized faster with Gaza but both of us got there at around the same time. I feel so lucky neither of us stayed an obnoxious liberal.

If your entire understanding of the USSR came from decades of propaganda from its geopolitical enemies maybe you should look into how much of what you were taught was either interpreted in the worst way possible if not entirely made up. A lot of anti communist myths were started by the literal nazis but the west ran with them because they hate communism more than they hate mass genocide.

Cowbee is the goat

Do you have more info on the company going to shit? I quickly googled it and maybe I’m searching wrong but the couple of pages with search results I checked had no relevant information lol

I envy you lol
