Wait....you've been making post about us for the last several weeks, despite not being federated? What a nerd Loloolllooll

Originally, it meant people who supported the soviet union's use of tanks to crush uprisings.

And with the recent JFK declassified documents:

...it turns out the soviets were right to crush the Hungarian color revolution lmao

Maybe idk

Capitalism is so all-consuming it's like water to fish. "Capitalism" becomes synonymous with words like economy, markets, trade, laws, and government. It no longer is an ideology, but an immutable force in the universe.

New bit idea: tell people you're "as left as they cum," and always cum facing your left.

I'd settle for a Columbian necktie, as well.

That's what I mean. Maybe I'm misremembering, but didn't he have one that was supposed to put out a list of names online or some shit? And then he died and nothing happened, likely because feds got to it.

Didn't Epstein have one? I think if something that incriminating can be eliminated, the concept as you said doesn't work.

One reason it exists is because there's no way to force jurors to rule a certain way. Once jurors go into deliberation, what happens in that room stays in that room.

Taken to its logical conclusion, there's nothing stopping a jury from voting unanimously either way. They could vote to convict a person they think is innocent (which happens, especially when used against minorities and especially during Jim Crow). They could vote "not guilty" for a person they think is guilty.

lmao they should say "animal involved velocity discharges" for maximum passive voice.

There's a disturbing number of places that still use fax machines. They won't let you scan things and send it via e-mail, it has to be faxed. I deal with it a lot filling out my medical paperwork.

AFAIK a lot of people descended from nobility across the world are also among the most wealthy, even in places that "abolished" monarchy. A lot of Japanese companies, for example, are owned by former nobility.

The same is true with descendants of the Medicis. They're still able to divide that fortune up into fractions of what it was hundreds of years later.

To add on to what else has been said, you can just be blunt and obnoxious about it. Tell them "If a bunch of barely literate peasants in China can figure out Kapital on their own despite it being written in another language, you can read a pamphlet or two."

People smarter than anyone alive have done more in worse conditions and did us the courtesy of writing down what worked and what didn't. The Bolsheviks, Black Panther Party, anarchists in Civil War Spain and Nazi Germany, etc. were in life or death situations trying to mobilize leftwing revolution. The least anyone calling themselves a socialist can do is read what they wrote. If you say "I don't need to read theory because it's just a book club," you're being an arrogant, egotistical asshole.

We also live in an age where there are audiobooks and videos that will read this stuff to you for free, something our predecessors didn't have. People with disabilities have used these tools to help them understand theory when they struggle with reading. There's really no excuse.

Journalism has always been this way under capitalism. Journalists lied about Iraq. They lied about the Black Panther Party. They lied about Vietnam. The term "Yellow Journalism" came about in the 1890s to describe the inflammatory newspapers of the era.

The Edward R. Murrows and Walter Cronkites are the exception, not the rule, under capitalist news reporting because the entire industry relies on selling what sells, instead of broadcasting what informs.

You're describing monarchies lmaooo

Time gets shorter. I've already experienced this going from my teens to my twenties and into my thirties. I can remember entire weeks of my childhood. By the time I was in my mid twenties, days and weeks blurred together. Now it's like months go by and I don't even notice.

People talk about it more as they get older. Eventually when you enter your 80s and 90s, it's like entire decades can come and go. So imagine when you're immortal. If you've been alive for 100,000 years, that's longer than writing has been around. Entire civilizations will have come and went.

But from your perspective, it's all a blur. Entire genealogies were experienced, yet those people barely registered in your mind. If you had a favorite food, maybe the recipe disappears when you went four centuries without eating it. Jokes and fashions you're familiar with are completely alien to everyone else. Are you even capable of noticing when things change at that point?

There's also the question of how human are you? Everything and everyone would seem inconsequential. Would you even be able to socialize with others, or would you be completely sociopathic? That's if you don't hurt anyone and get tossed in a jail cell. What happens if you spend a few centuries in prison? Fight in multiple wars? Would you even feel the slightest discomfort when you kill someone?

Okay but if we use "Late stage capitalism and the quest for profit above all else is causing the quality of goods and commodities to drop while their value stays the same or goes up," it's going to result in 20 minutes trying to explain things correctly followed by 20 hours of anti-communist arguments.

Can they use bows or crossbows? What about pikes? Just crazy how they respect rules like that when the eventual conclusion is guns.

I inherited this pet peeve from someone else and at the same time, developed the pet peeve of inheriting other people's pet peeves.
