I hold that it is bad as far as we are concerned if a person, a political party, an army or a school is not attacked by the enemy, for in that case it would definitely mean that we have sunk to the level of the enemy. It is good if we are attacked by the enemy, since it proves that we have drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves. It is still better if the enemy attacks us wildly and paints us as utterly black and without a single virtue; it demonstrates that we have not only drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves but achieved a great deal in our work.

Can’t deny a genocide that only exists in the minds of rabid imperialist westerners

Difference is that your religion doesn’t really matter as long as you keep it a personal belief, it only becomes an issue if you try to make your religion political and use it in the public sphere to control people or abuse those within it. At that point it’s no longer a religious issue it’s a political or criminal one.

Political issues matter, they determine the allocation of resources and who lives and dies and who has power. They determine who gets an education, who gets to have kids, etc.

So caring a lot about politics and pushing your political view unapologetically makes a lot of sense. Pushing your personal religious (or irreligious) views is just annoying and cringe and betrays a lack of understanding about what actually matters and impacts the real world.

I have a lot of hope for a multipolar world and actually existing socialist nations.

I have no hope for America or the core, at least it would have to go through such a period of turbulent crisis and collapse first that it would be unrecognizable to us before it’s redeemable

Ukraine still never recovered to the Ukrainian SSR GDP lmao. Ukraine used to be one of the most developed areas of a world superpower and now they are a decaying backwater. I wonder who did that

I’m surprised there’s still pools of population to draw on at this point, they must be down to the elite failsons who dodged via corruption by now

The one good reason for crypto is dodging sanctions, and that’s an entirely artificial thing that could be addressed by just… not having sanctions and using normal fiat currency

So cool and correct in both ways?

We aren’t abusing the bug we just are posting emojis like we always do

Everything is politics

Yes.

Pretending otherwise is lib.

Yes.

Chapo is the podcast that started it all. It’s a pretty decent socialist podcast with our smart boy Matt on the rants radicalizing a lot of people from 2016-2020. A lot of us have politically moved beyond it, but it definitely colors our culture in that we use the same insults and heightened irony that the original pod did. Very early Chapo episodes had a section where they would read a couple articles from major papers and decide which authors get fired out of a cannon and which ones get jail for life, for example and pull up pictures of the writers and mock them. We very much do not care about polite frivolities or “umm akshually” pedantry and debate shit. We know we are communists and we mock anyone who isn’t

Most of us have been through our serious phase already and have been fully jokerfied by years of failure of the left and basically no hope whatsoever.

To take communism super seriously as a westerner almost is a joke on its own, there’s such a difference between what you aim for and what reality is
