That may be, but the fact of the inequality remains (and it remains a bad thing imo)

If the romantic poets were complaining bitterly about how they've been wronged by women because they don't want to date them then yeah maybe they were

Socialism is when you ignore the fact that tropes can play out in many different ways and that particular manifestations of it can in fact reflect broader social issues

I know everyone here is doing China discourse here but the honestly not insignificant inequality that remained in the USSR is kinda interesting to see.

It’s really striking to me how the climate has shifted online since Biden won. Obviously libs have always been anticommunist, but under Trump I feel like there was at least a vague understanding that the far right is a legitimate threat in the way that the far left is not. Now though, it’s like the the far right has been forgotten, it’s a spectre conjured up only for its utility for slandering the left. I guess this is probably because Trump is viewed as an aberration, and one which was dealt with in 2020 when the system worked and people realised he wasn’t fit to be president. The libs cannot imagine that Trump could be re-elected, nor can they imagine that the issues run much deeper, just as they couldn’t in 2016. So if the far right no longer exists, it’s only natural that they should fall back into their default focus on demonising the left.

Do I, a communist, support a billionaire? Shockingly the answer is no, at least unless resting his neck on the block of a guillotine counts as support

or was it the other one?

Yeah he was in the Pandora Papers

(i.e. when it comes to casualties and many other things)

Obviously this is just kinda coming out of my ass, but I'm almost certain that 100,000 people have already died. Can't say what the exact number is obviously, but I imagine it's the kind of thing that the lib media would rather not release because it would dampen people's enthusiasm for it

Unfortunately I could never really get that into playing and practising solo and although I continued for a while regardless I eventually dropped my lessons, something I now kinda regret, but being part of an orchestra was always my favourite part of playing the violin.

Lack of knowledge in linguistics (or languages in general) is also what stopped my conlang project in its tracks.

Yeah I've had this issue too, but it hasn't stopped me trying. I do try my best to understand the linguistics stuff enough to make sure my language is making sense, but it feels like a never-ending battle as there's always more you can learn and add. I'm kinda fine with that though, and if it weren't for conlanging I wouldn't have realised I was into linguistics and started studying it at university.
