Thanks for sharing!

"Illegal"

Plenty of people don't like it, and plenty of them block it all out... but love it or hate it there is a lot of communist and anarchist discussion here. I was on Reddit for a long time and never found so many people interested in leftist discourse so far outside of the liberal mainstream.

I had my prostate imaged with an ultrasound while traveling abroad. I went for a full medical check, and I was fully preparing myself for my first butthole-fingering. When they did the ultrasound I was like "holy shit has that been an option all along??"

It's funny, but not surprising how much you're down voted here. The meme is heavily upvoted for equating (presumably US) imperialism and (presumably Chinese) authoritarianism. But give an example of how much worse the US is, and people who pretend to hate imperialism fall over themselves to defend the US.

Be sure to consider that the past examples of US imperialism were widely supported by Americans just like you. In hindsight, we can often see more clearly since we aren't immersed in the contemporary propaganda.

Lol

Mapping is great, but can we crowd source a parallel camera network that tracks police and politician vehicles on a public site?

Inshallah. https://theshiesty.com/collections/all

Sounds like we need 49 more adjustments.

Daily dotworld self-soothing thread.

It's good advice in general, but when it comes to opposing genocide I will continue assuming I'm correct, thanks.

This article/op-ed is about the "American character" or some shit. I think it really bears considering not just the evil bad Trump voters, but that the purported alternative is just as morally bankrupt.

It's the spot!

Let's start with those that profit directly from human suffering.

You said that I'd rather Trump win. Why should I reflect? I'm not the one still defending a party that just lost an election. Presumably, you want your party to win elections in the future, so I would say that some self reflection is due. I'm trying to point you in what I see as the right direction, but maybe your wounds are still too fresh.

All that matters to you is to believe that I'm a Trump supporter, so you can dismiss my criticisms of your moral bankruptcy. Do you understand the concept of a "principle"? The way I was brought up, there are certain things that you just don't compromise on. If you begin giving ground on your principles, you'll soon find you don't have any left. That's where your party is, and that's a huge part of why they have failed to present a credible challenge to Trumpism.

Between my point of view and the newspaper column above, which offers a more actionable path forward? To me, that column reads as pathetic self-indulgence, whereas my message is to morally re-center yourself and demand the same of your political leadership.

You're right that I'm not a Democrat, and that I have more reasons than their unabashed support for genocide to dislike them. But can't you see the irony in accusing me of "fake moral outrage" though? Do you simply not believe in morality at all? Or maybe genocide ranks lower on your list of things deserving moral outrage than it does on mine.

Yes, Israel is responsible for its actions. Are Democrats not also responsible for their actions?

Correct. Get used to it, because I'll keep bringing it up until you people grow a conscience and develop some basic moral principles.
