No you don’t get it people wanting to be free is just imperialist propaganda which can only be overcome by even bigger imperialism. They don’t actually want to be free, they’re just brainwashed.

So what you are saying is that a formerly marginalized community is slightly less marginalized?

And my fabulous Axe!

Lemmy probably isn’t big enough for the ad bots to be worth it yet. Lemmy is more infested with right wing astroturf shills pretending to be leftists and pushing “both sides” nonsense.

The smart criminal understands the value of diversity.

I am actually incapable of lying

Oof ow my kidneys

Oh that’s the booze.

No, just AA

“I’ve honestly never really thought about it.” And then “I don’t know, I don’t really keep track of how much I drink.”

It does seem like your goal here is to limit what other people can see, rather than curating your own individual experience. Do you believe that I should have similar influence on what content you are allowed to interact with?

Or is it that the Democrats understand the rhetorical danger of equating an actual war in Europe involving a major nuclear power, with the ego driven pet project of a fascist demagogue?

Labor could run a rotting horse penis mounted to a piece of dull slate and it would still represent a more ideologically defensible position than anything the most reasonable Tory has uttered for going on 70 years.

I mean come on. It’s not like they even make an effort to hide their terrible ideas.

with the expectation that Boris Johnson would be in charge

I’m not sure this make it any better. It’s not like Boris Johnson hid the fact that he was a Tory. At a certain point I’m just going to stop saying “I told you so” and start calling you an idiot.

Surely the next Tory PM the British voters elect won’t try to implement all of the terrible and unpopular policies that the tories openly espouse!

How can you tell?

In all fairness, it’s is way too fucking common to start an anime and be like “oh shit this is pretty deep” and then episode three diverges into very uncomfortable underage stepsister beach episode filler.

Maybe your wife is gay

My experience with hexbear has been pretty fucking far from them knowing political theory, outside of one very specific niche they can kind of articulate as long as you don’t ask them to reduce any of it to fundamentals or first principles.

As far as I can tell, their one trick is quoting books they haven’t actually read, assuming nobody else has read them either. I’ve literally had this same interaction three or four times at this point, over books which don’t say the things they think they say. Like multiple people arguing that some Chomsky work supports their orthodox ML theory.

You can literally get them to argue against the works they are trying cite by quoting them. It’s amusing for a bit, but then it’s just sad.
