In the US, “third positionism” is a euphemism for neo-nazis. Not surprising to see it being used the same way in other places

third way

Now where have I heard that one before? 🤔 🤔 🤔

Is Trump actually a Hexbear doing deep undercover? Someone needs to check his e-mails.

This has been a common tactic for the right going back as far as there have been mass shootings. They will always claim the shooter is part of some out-group, while simultaneously cheering for mass murder. Then they will bring out “”““crime statistics””“” about how black and Latino people are the real mass shooters, so a white shooter doesn’t count because reasons.

This was the case in my town whe. In-n’-Out burger opened up. The line there is still huge years later now after it opened. We tried it to see what the big deal was and it was…slightly better than Burger King? Yet it costs the same as a local burger joint who have way better food. I do not understand American taste buds.

Yeah. Caterpillars are moth/butterfly larvae, which are insects. I think ant and termite larva are similar (but stumpier).

3 of my grandparents were already dead by the time I was born lol. Vance hiding the secrets of Juche Necromancy from us?

The Nazis killed something like 14,000 people per day once the Holocaust was in full swing. That’s gas chambers, then moving bodies to the ovens, then emptying out the ovens, and then repeating the cycle. And they found this was the most efficient way to kill large groups of people. If they could have killed more people faster for cheaper, they would have.

Crushing 10,000 people and hosing them down a sewer would probably be the most sophisticated sewage system ever developed. Hell, even crushing 10,000 people with tanks is unbelievable.

because we didn’t have any black people

Yeah that tends to happen when your country doesn’t abduct over 20 million people and take them across an ocean to another continent so they can be used as slaves lmao

Yeah it’s another form of American Exceptionalism and White Man’s Burden. Even if libs don’t actively think about it, it’s heavily ingrained into their ideology.

Malcolm X had a speech about this where white liberals will insist on taking up leadership and administrative positions within black organizations, instead of asking what the existing leadership wants them to do. It was largely why he spent most of his career not wanting to do any organizing with white liberals, even when they claimed to be allies. I think this is ultimately regretted the way he brushed aside one white woman and woud talk about the interaction years later. She did the correct thing in asking what she could do as a white person to help.

I hate this about libs. Putin was OUR guy. We helped put him in power. He was doing whatever we wanted. But that wasn’t enough. The Cold War propaganda brain worms run too deep so we continued treating Russia like our enemy.

On the plus side, I hope all those Russian compradors realize they fucked their country and betrayed the revolution for nothing.

rest of the political world

“political” doing a lot of figurative lifting there lmao. The rest of the actual world has over a billion communists who know liberals are right wing. Then there’s the non-comminists who know liberals are right wing (such as the libs who identify with the right).

Americans have zero understanding of anything outside our borders.

That 4th. pic is how every conversion about Holodomor goes. First it’s “Wow the government just did that. They took away all the food and said anyone who objected was a kulak.”

When you point out kulaks destroyed food stockpiles, slaughtered the animals, salted the fields, poisoned the wells, then fled the country, it’s “Well that’s just their right to do with their property!”

Schodinger’s gusano: both not responsible for causing the famine and also justified in causing the famine.

That woman looks like she’d die of heatstroke in Siberia the fuck is she doing in Gaza?

The guy who wrote The Gulag Archipelago wrote another book specifically about the Holodomor. In that book, he talks about how thousands of pounds of grain and thousands of livestock were slaughtered by kulaks. Of course (being infected with liberal brainworms), he blames this all on the soviets.

I feel like we’re living in the 1930s and witnessing another Spanish Civil War with a side of Nuremberg Laws.

“Why do feeeeeeeeeemales only want Chad?”

Because “Chad” isn’t a fucking weirdo.

Notably (to my knowledge/experience with it) confession is fundamentally centered around penance and forgiveness, rather than around solving the problem. That’s not to say a priest would never give advice if you asked, but the structure of it is like that. When I used to be catholic and would go, it was never like, “Okay, what are you going to do to act differently?” It was like, “For your penance, say five hail marys” or whatever.

“God is dead, for we have killed him.”

This is exactly what Nietzche was referring to. Because religion shifts responsibility onto itself, religious followers don’t actually address their problems. Nietzche was being literal and metaphorical. Literal as is “the death of Christ at the hands of mortals” and metaphorical in the way you describe.

Nietzche thought this is why religious people often become nihilistic in both thoughts and actions. Because they are no longer to blame for others’ suffering, the religious person (Christians in particular) adopts a worldview that nothing in life matters because it’s all just preparation for the afterlife. It becomes easy for them to witness suffering and take no action because of it.

This has bled over into secular thinking, as well. Even when non-believers and apostates don’t have beliefs in religion, their ways of thinking have remained the same. This is especially rampant among capitalists who think the system is perfect. The system takes away blame and shifts it onto the disenfranchised (“Choose to be homeless,” bootstraps, welfare queens, and so on).

New bit idea: JAQing off but leftwing.
