From what I see:

PR campaigns to try to “convince people with ideas” to change their ways is definitely more on the idealistic side.

Tech that fundamentally changes the means of production of a fundamental commodity in local, regional, national, and international markets seems more on the materialist side.

but the UK, where the mass media approach has been tried, has more than twice as many vegetarians per capita than the US.

I wonder how much of this is due to immigration from South Asia, where the rates of vegetarianism are higher.

And cuz he’s an aThEiSt

i pitty every trans person still holding out there.

I wonder why they are even in there tbh. Like what’s the appeal at this point?

claiming that queer people are faking it is incredibly and offensive. Stop doing it. You would not claim that a black man isn’t really black because he says something you disagree with because you’d get knocked the hell out. Don’t claim people’s identities are fake because our politics are to the left of yours. You’re literally just abusing other lgbt people with that sentiment by essentially stating “unless your politics align with mine I will deny you the right to your gender”.

That’s precisely what a Russian shill would say to try to obfuscate the issue. I would know, I learned about whataboutism and those tactics in my political science 101 class. I only had to take that class because its a required core elective for my STEMlord degree. So back the fuck off TANKIE!

You guys all rent, so I was wondering: how much should I charge? Comparables around here are $900-1200/mo, but I don’t want to screw the guy.

Think weight classes in boxing and the ranking of within them. It doesn’t need to be so

Yeah like Street Fighter. Which of course the Gamer™ types have no problem with when they play with a girl character… But put a trans woman in there an all of a sudden they explode.

you freak?!

You can chill out with the ableist language a little…

They just need to combined all sports and make them genderless. In cases like boxing just go by weight class, since they do that for men and women’s leagues anyways.

That one post about how “programming.dev” users are complete dumb dumbs was pretty on point.

I wonder what kind of parallels can be drawn with Ukraine now and China during WW2 (when the communists allied with the nationalists in order to fend off the Japanese). Perhaps strategically it makes sense for Russian communists to “support” Russia in order to stave off NATO. This would give more breathing room for leftist agitation inside of Russia (and eastern Ukraine for that matter, perhaps western Ukraine too I hope).

Americans were mostly against Vietnam because a bunch of their family and friends were coming back in bodybags

And because the draft was more “impartial” in the sense that middle-class white people were sent to die instead of the “volunteer” military we have now where recruiters target poor and disenfranchised minorities to become the foot soldiers fed to the meat grinder while the officers are still upper-middle class college graduates (especially those from the places like the Naval Academy, West Point, or the Air Force Academy).

We saw with the second Iraq War that Americans didn’t really care too much because the well-off upper middle class people just sent their kids to college while the poor black and white people got sent to die in Iraq.

Like you said, Ukranian casualties don’t even matter so I guess this is the evolution of imperial warfare (impartial draft > volunteer army > foreign proxies).

Just watch this video (about 12 and a half minutes):

On the one hand, having these guys (le redditors and le lemmylords) in charge of the US military would be funny, because they would just order soldiers into the meat grinder (“don’t worry, our superior Xbox controllers will be more than enough against those ‘mines’ and ‘missiles’”), but on the other hand, they’re stupid enough to do something really life-threatening to the planet (like casually using nukes).
