I think this should be reinforced. If your name isn’t Christian then you can’t celebrate Christmas :(

What’s the Great Vowel Shift?

Deflecting again? Sure i didn’t use the right term but the meaning of what i said is the same. Israel wants to flatten Gaza and if they can carpet bomb it they would.

I am glad Israel doesn’t negotiate with Hamas and has decided to carpet bomb and glass Gaza.

Btw, how much video of the IDF fighting Hamas are there? It’s been over 100 days of fighting. I swear we’d have so much video of the IDF fighting Hamas.

Canada and UK act all haughty about being superior to the US but we have MAGA here and the UK has similar, and there is a reason they are called TERF island.

Why would you do that to your dogs?!

Thank god most of us have some sense and awareness to differentiate actions “in the name of the free world” from good and bad actors. Clearly this is from good actors as Putin is clearly an enemy of the free world. Saying otherwise means ignorance or being bad faith.

Horrible script but great acting. If Affleck was younger I’d want to see him take the mantle properly

I liked it a lot when they had smaller content creators. Do they do that anymore or is it only celebs?

I’m the one who doesn’t know how the world functions? I have a bridge for you to buy.

Is that how corporations or anyone work? They just do it because they feel they can?

Why are they reinforcing this “rule” now than before?

Google is not your friend when it keeps regurgitating AI generated articles and images. They aren’t your friend when the only way you can get “reliable” information is by appending ‘reddit’ at the end. They aren’t your friend when you search with clear terms and tags the suggested articles they present are recent $$$$$ boosted ones instead of clearly the popular article that broke the event.

They aren’t self aware to ask that.

I rather it be a screencap and then a link in the description or a comment. I just rather not a direct link.

Exactly this. Play the game you want, but that shit shouldn’t be platformed.

The only times I’ve seen this is when it says their information is from like 2019 so they don’t know. But this is very fringe things.

If you actually believe in horseshoe theory then I have a bridge to sell you. Are you going to tell me you’re a centrist?

I’m going to take your question as genuine and answer in equal.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. Most leftists will agree with you, the USSR and other Eastern Europe countries that were communist did a lot of damage and most likely more harm. They committed atrocities. They were authoritarian. It was disgusting.

The leftists who still prop those countries up on their shoulders are what many call tankies. Today they sing praise about Russia, China, and North Korea, but your observation is correct, they won’t ever move there. These are individuals who repeat propaganda and are, ultimately, just red fascists. When you actually dig into their ideals they parallel and sometimes mirror Nazis.

I believe leftism cannot have an authoritarian element to it. I think most social hierarchies need to be destroyed. I think the only way to have a socialist society is through democratic means. Democracy in the workplace and national level. I think most of us can agree workers need higher wages and there is a wealth gap that needs to be dismantled. I think most of us believe healthcare needs to be universal, food and shelter and water, education, information (internet), speech, and much more should be free and readily available. There is this element of freedom that needs to be achieved that isn’t found the countries that are “communist”.

I don’t want to explicitly say those communist countries wasn’t “real communism”, but fascists, authoritarianism, always appropriate from progressive movement. There is no freedom, especially of workers, under a dictatorship. If workers are starving, dying, being outright black bagged and killed, i don’t think that can be considered communist.
