Growing up you always think older people hate on the youth because they've forgotten what it's like to be young but it's actually quite the opposite, they remember vividly, which is precisely why they know you're full of shit

the funniest thing about the word “tankie” is that if anyone objects to you using it, you can safely block them because that’s by far the easiest way to identify a tankie

Fine. You all win. I’m logging off for the day because I‘m a big smelly man who’s also a Nazi and a bigot because I liked it better when Groypers didn’t have 1,770 nuclear weapons on hair-trigger alert. Feel free to brag in your discords about how my jimmies have been rustled and I was owned.

I think this is the tactically correct opinion: focus on showing that left wing/progressive policies work to establish credibility, *then* start going after high profile centrists
Zohran Mamdani on Chi Ossé’s primary challenge to House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries:
“I think that right now is not the time to be engaging in that kind of a primary. I think the focus should be on delivering on this affordability agenda.”

To try to distinguish anything humans do as artificial versus natural is poor thinking; humans are part of nature & whatever we do is natural. What is the difference between humanity forging civilization & a tree fruiting? Only timescales
these posts--from the same poster--a leftist!--speak to how the lure of the imagined natural grips even people on the left. but actually what is "natural" to humanity fucking sucks. most of human history is a story of violence, scarcity, and rape from which we have only recently escaped
