Well, some people lack skepticism and the ability to do their own research so they are more susceptible to groupthink, unfortunately.
This isn’t really about socialism anyway. They’re not even advocating for socialism. Just a totalitarian state. If you look at the history of socialism it was always an anti-state movement, and its original thinkers would be disturbed by those who claim its mantle but argue for oppression instead of liberation.
It purports to be.
Your second point is fair but again I also agree it’s bad to do that.
Well as long as you’re fine with the rest of the world viewing you as cultists who can’t tolerate being exposed to outside ideas then I guess there’s no issue. But that’s not a model for a very successful political movement.
For the record I also think it’s stupid for communists to be banned for wrongthink but I personally haven’t observed that too often outside of outright fascist spaces.
Well it’s fucking stupid and it makes everyone hate them and think that their ideas can’t withstand outside scrutiny.
Well tell your mods to stop acting like fools then. Their thought policing makes no sense unless you have some “objective” sense that their exact understanding of the world is correct.
Yeah that’s generally how ideology works lmao.
Not us though! Our god personally instructed us on the sacred sciences. It’s not subjective at all.
They kinda look like adult botflies too lol. Why do the most horrific things grow up to be so cute?
It’s kinda true though lol. Most people are naturally horny and creepy but socialization teaches us to respect people’s boundaries.
Who doesn’t, honestly? If there’s one thing people of all political stripes can agree on it’s that liberals are annoying.
Is this even in question? Anarchism quite clearly fits within the sphere of libertarian ideas.
The weird part is thinking that’s a bad thing or somehow incompatible with leftism.
True but I still think other leftists are their closest ideological neighbors. We still agree on things like trans rights, that everyone should have economic security, etc. So despite some big differences I think what I wrote is true.
Plus you can also just look at how they treat the different sects within the tankie sphere and it’s not much different lol.
Step 1: Consume brainrotted memes instead of studying real history
Step 2: Insult all the people who share most of my values and are closest to me ideologically
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit revolution
No way this plan could fail.
I mean it kinda is but you’re right that any increases are pretty inconveniently timed.
Yes, that’s correct.
Famines are almost universally created by governments.
Except it’s only native to the central valley in California so if you’re anywhere else this is not going to have any effect.
I guess this person just didn’t look up its range or something? The species pictured there isn’t even native to CA.
Most endangered species have restricted ranges, which is part of what makes them endangered. So you’ll have to do the work to find out what might be present in your local area.
That said I did just hear they’re trying to build one in Roseville, CA which IS in the range of this species so guerrilla gardeners, if you happen to be in Roseville, go nuts.
Being a vegetarian won’t save you from maggots eating your skin though.
It’s the opposite. We’re under permanent occupation, they don’t even need to invade.
There is a huge space between free speech absolutism and not banning people for not 100% kowtowing to your hyper-specific and extremely unpopular, historically revisionist political movement.
