you know, the times everyone comes together to support or celebrate

that post yesterday about TC69 & BrookeBaybee was pretty great 🥰 I wasn't here back in the day to interact with them, but they're legendary, and seeing everyone's delight about their romance was heartwarming

tell me about the ones you hold dear

cuddle

PS: you're the best and I love you ❤️

    You were one of the people I was actually thinking about when I made that comment lol. I've tried a few times but gave up after a tourist wasn't using the sludge in their brain pan to try to understand that the modern concept of the nuclear marriage was intended for women to be used as chattel or that having a large amount of children was done partially for free labor exploitation in the homesteader era.

    I'm a better learner than a teacher anyway.

    I will say, the amount of people that legit understand theory here towers over the users in the lefty reddit spaces. Right now on /r/communismmemes, there is a user claiming that all anarchist are liberals. I tried telling them they are wrong and they immediately downvoted me like a dweeb.

    Sorry for the ramble lol.

      Oh shit, really? Thank you! I'm flattered.

      Certainly helped push me to actually dig into theory more!

      immediate downvoting doesn't get anyone anywhere, so glad hexbear removed it. if you would like to understand that person's position, here are a couple formulations of similar claims:

      • this cushvlog MIND FORCE: FIBBONACCI SNIPER at 41 minutes. this is near the conclusion of a discussion that starts around 15 minutes in the video, originating from Matt's reaction to Nathan Robinson saying things would be better if Marx hadn't been born. would be good to start at 15 minutes for more context if you have a bad reaction to starting at 41 minutes.

      • in a more rigorous fashion this zhenli piece argues that anarchists are not marxists: https://taiyangyu.medium.com/no-you-cannot-be-an-anarchist-and-a-marxist-4d196640c5d7

      presented with no antagonism, motivated by finding a way out of this mess humanity finds itself in.
