the American century of humiliation is in full swing

I wonder if this is what Soviet citizens felt like under Gorbachev. Just perpetual “what the fuck is he doing.”

no that’s not… I don’t think that was the one way out he was referring to.

while I am loving Taiwan, I do need to remind myself that I am deep within Reddit occupied territory.

I consider myself to be a pragmatic (Marxism) progressive (Leninism)

Congrats to my most pessimistic tankie muturals, you were right on this one.

Also important to note the example he brought up of a communist supposedly saying this was them talking about an anti IDF shirt, and that communist account later posted that they did get in a bit in trouble with the organizers of the no kings protests for it.

some of the more annoying libs can't accept a move to the left without first imagining that they're somehow upsetting an imaginary communist by doing so. which, y'know, whatever. rationalise it however you like, just keep it moving

Been hearing something about a purge in the Chinese military. Does anyone know anything about that?

i am so owned by the overton window shifting over to some of my personally held positions please, please keep owning me, please I don't know if I'll be able to take it

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Of course they broke the ceasefire, fuck those genocidal zionists. Free Palestine.

How did the no kings protest go? I was busy snoozing half way across the world

there’s a massive difference between wearing a “DEATH TO THE IDF” shirt to a No Kings protest (organizers of which have openly said they want to prohibit Palestinian flags/solidarity) & wearing an “ABOLISH ICE” shirt. this is wildly disingenuous.

bittersweet seeing parts of the lethargic british press sluggishly get around to wondering if US far-right religious think tanks are working to influence british politics. they are, yes! it is not secret! do your jobs better!

protesting genocide: we need to purge antisemitism from college campuses praising hitler and gas chambers: boys will be boys, cancel culture is out of control

Ben Gvir personally oversaw the torture of Greta Thunberg, as reported by Aftonbladet. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

Chinese is such a beautiful language

Future History Text Books: During WW 3 China made a glaring error in accidentally hitting the ChatGPT data centers and thus drastically improving Americas tactical capabilities.

I think China probably has WW3 in the bag as long as they just don’t do this.

It does feel weird that I have been stuck with this pfp for like a decade now. Good thing 13 year old me had good tastes in profile pictures, it still does go hard.

important note from libcrusher:

Aww. Obi-wan and Anakin.

Wait so what is happening on Twitter?

Love it

Bro blocked me for pointing out that she supports Trump, the strikes, and Israel’s genocide

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

Just got a new book, has anyone else read it?

I am watching the new Shaun Video about “the war on science” and I laughed a little at the incredibly scuffed survey that seemed to show that the Majority of people support Hamas leaving Gaza, taking over Israel, and then running it as a Jewish state.

absolutely incredible things are happening. someone should write a poem about it

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

Do you guys fuck with teto

I’ve seen enough, it was the furry porn that made him kill Charlie Kirk. Case closed.

what ezra doesn't seem willing to accept is that charlie kirk was part of a political movement that does not think that "we are going to have to live here with each other" and is fact very interested in the elimination and/or subjugation of many, many people

I mean... minnesotareformer.com/briefs/haged...

a major concern is that the show often involves us sharing stories from our personal lives. i will address this by coming up with stories based on experiences that i think michael would have had.

some professional news: due to various insensitive comments made in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, I have fired @michaelhobbes.bsky.social from the If Books Could Kill podcast. the show will continue as usual, with me playing the role of both michael and peter

pretty telling that their lawyers had to find a basis for firing her other than the actual one, which is criticizing Charlie Kirk
