People who say "Well I'm Muslim and it bothers me that Biden supports Israel so I won't vote for him" have to be completely out of touch with reality or are completely fake

"If you aren't voting for me, you're not Muslim, Jack"

doesn't imprison detractors,

Depending on the estimate, about 2.5 million people died in the Vietnam War, but Vietnam definitely still won.

Thanks for posting updates. It's good to hear that more emphasis is being put on them being gay married. Fuck the homophobic execs.

Wild how it just happens

There's a nonzero chance that the campaigns are organized by people shorting these companies to begin with.

This is offtopic, but the way that people whitewash the Weimar Republic by talking about Hitler like he was a wizard who cast a spell on Germany doesn't just have the effect of obscuring the political-economic conditions of fascism and its connection to long-standing European society, but further feeds into a fetishistic reverence for Hitler that encourages modern readers to hang off his every word to try to understand how the magic works, effectively working to spread his speeches even further than they would otherwise spread and lending a gravity to everything he says because, as far as many liberal histories were concerned, what he said was literally magic. It seems like a choice of characterization deliberately made so that the sins of the past can happen all the more easily for having already happened once, rather than protecting society from it using our past experience with it.

More patronizing and talking down.

Can someone disagree without patronizing and talking?

when you keep talking down to me like I am stupid because I am Neurodivergent

No, if I am talking down to you it's because you aren't actually engaging with simple points and continuously make faulty inferences.

Instead of doing the Umberto Eco Checklist But Socialist Now, can I interest you in opposing book worship? Can you or can you not draw a pentagram with the materials I mentioned before? If you are going to bandy Mao about, then you should oppose dogmatism in your comrades like you are using here as a crutch. Clearly, simply saying "I say so" is inadequate when the arguments as-presented don't follow, so perhaps explain more thoroughly.

I don't want to play the ND card, but you presume wildly incorrectly about my condition, though I certainly do lack your conditions.

So why would you say things like "unfortunate" like you pity me?

You don't understand the framing, which is that for a certain cause or goal, an impeding or confounding factor is "unfortunate" for the goal, the goal here being something like "determining how you could hypothetically succeed in drawing". I don't especially care about you, but this doesn't hinge on me being personally invested in you, I'm just speaking in terms of stipulated aims.

Personally, you might forget this but I'm a communist and so I generally do want to see people succeed, and I do think that your lack of understanding about NT art is harming you and that that's a bad thing, but obviously I know I'm not going to get anywhere with you trying to talk on that level, so I don't bother.

Your original comment was trying to blame a marginalized person for being offended by your ableism that's being a cry bully.

"Crybully" does not mean "thinks your line of taking offense is bullshit," there is necessarily some element of reversing the direction of victimization. I do not claim that you are victimizing me or attempting to on any level.

All of this is obviously a deflection from the fact that you are simply wrong in the assertion that someone who can't produce mental images can only draw stick figures. If you actually care about this subject, I strongly encourage you to learn how to sketch scaffolding just like other art students do to get proportions correct. If you can use a compass and a ruler to draw a pentagram (and a protractor if you really like), you can do that. I've linked many testimonies from people with aphantasia that are the basis for much stronger claims, but I'm not interested in making those, I'm basically just arguing this because I find it frustrating when people assert conclusions that don't follow from the premises they lay out, and fundamentally nothing that you have said prevents you from sketching scaffolding for drawings.

Not so, if you own and work your own means of production but don't profit from others' labor value, you're just a yeoman by another name

I think functionally the problem is the cause it is employed for. There's no version of the Ukrainian military fighting for control of Donbas that isn't barbaric.
