Doesn’t have to be a specifically leftist thing, but it can be if you want.
Mine: I learned Trotsky was assassinated while writing a passive-aggressive biography of Stalin. Dude was like halfway through lmao
:trot-shining:
Seriously, I can’t get over this. It has so much pre-internet shitposter energy. Damn. Wow.
He was more than halfway through, the first half was basically done, just unedited. The second half was less complete though. See here.
Trotskyists are basically obsessing over the proper royal bloodline. Material conditions? What's that? Just put daddy on the throne!
i mean theres some stuff that is cool in theory like the permanent revolution thing
The guy who assassinated Che, Felix Rodriguez, took his watch as a souvenir and he still brags about it to this day. He was a career spook, involved in everything from the Bay of Pigs to Iran Contra.
Yup. See thats one of the cool things about our world.
The guys who spent their whole life murdering, torturing, burning, pillaging, roaming the earth like demons looking to crush hope anywhere it spawns: they all get to live in a cozy retirement home in Florida, waking up every day to eat at McDonalds and play golf. They won.
I hope he gets Alzheimers and forgets who his family is. I hope he spends the last years of his life scared and confused and alone.
Did you learn that from Blowback? I found found that out recently too and can't remember where from and Blowback makes the most sense.
That was it! I had the thought while listening to that part that they must have been listening to Blowback. Everyone got Cuba brains

If blindfolded, told to smell parmesan cheese, and told it's vomit, people will believe it's vomit
Veganarchism. Vegan Anarchism. It's a combination of :vegan-v: and :anarchy-a-white:. Lots of anarchsts are vegan and vice versa since animal liberation is a stuggle against the heirarchy imposed by speciesism.
in the fight club 2 comic, tyler durden is canonically responsible for the creation of ISIS
is it any good? it's been on my list for awhile i've just never gotten around to it
No idea. I haven't read it, I just saw someone else shocked about it and googled it.
This religious sect in Russia that practiced pretty extreme genital self-mutilation, mentioned in a Dostoevsky novel with a surprising lack of judgement, just "oh yeah those guys": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skoptsy (NSFW and CW for a photograph of a healed version on the Wiki article)
Cary Fukunaga said that when directing for Netflix, they give you a set of themes, story beats, and emotional moments, that are probably algorithmically generated, that must be included.
Absolutely hilarious to hear that a director said this . They're fine tuning the slop using the data we pay to give them. :chefs-kiss:
This kind of shit is so funny to me because conservatives are always lamenting the "stagnation" of culture despite the fact that it's literally late stage capitalism that homogenizes everything
ngl thats kinda cool if it’s not too restrictive. It’s like getting a story prompt in a creative writing group.
cats commonly get part of their left ear removed after they get neutered :sadness:
For feral cats this is pretty common.That way they aren’t trapped and sent to a clinic again. What you also may not know is that most female pets are given a tattoo when they are spayed. Usually just a green line. If for some reason they lose their records, it prevents them from being put under the knife when they’ve already been spayed.
I remember some dude got a matching tattoo for the one his stray dog had, assuming his past owner did it in an act of animal cruelty. Now his forearm says he got his balls cut off.
I think its so that people can more easily tell that a cat has been neutered
I've been learning about control mechansims to prevent legionella. Which means I'm learning how I know absolutely nothing about plumbing, apparently.
All lifeforms on Earth apparently, when an evolutionary singularity is reached, will evolve into crabs.

bespoke: advance to crab
I learned about Dave. Shit that was satisfying lol, good work. Hope you find a new job soon.

There was a dude named Joe Carr associated with the Boston bombers :jokerfication:
