These motherfuckers give me a 30 minute weekly window to certify my unemployment benefits. They want people to starve.
that's fucked. I have some experience now navigating unemployment and if you want a hand with the bureaucracy hmu
What do you mean I can't frag these Americans? This ain't no power fantasy at all.
This site sure is the bee's knees
I gotta go to sleep got class at 9:30 gotta learn how to be a cracker and listen to my professor rant about how his Extenze male supplements never worked for the third time.
Gnight beatnik
Ain't that a death worth dying tho
How a god gonna send you to hell when you got got over a roast beef sandwich
They probably would like to think so, but I hope most of them are too cowardly to kill anything above a medium-sized cockroach
I definitely think psychos and sociopaths do exist on the left too. Just a different sort of them. And the problem is these people can be very charismatic, so it's easy to get in important positions and ruin the fun for everyone- so how do you counteract that while preserving openness... And at the same time how do you prevent the movement from being coopted. Like if you swing one way too much you get coopted by bad actors and cannot unify for shit, if you go the other - some psycho becomes the supreme leader wannabe and all meaningful criticism becomes impossible...
lmao navalny got poisoned. all of r/worldnews is like "omg i hope he makes it out, my sweet democratic anti-putin hero" while i'm still seething over the 13 year old ad where he compares muslims to cockroaches. nationalist ass.
Putin sucks, but I’m all for poisoning racists. Once again dialectics rears its head.
hard same tbh. why can't the cia send money to some nice friendly oppositional lefties instead (rhetorical, i know). i'll also never stop seething over mccain standing with tyahnybok on stage during the maidan lmao. stop supporting our nationalists!!!
unTie the left. But first tie up the left. Its me, I am the left.
If that’s all it was I’d buy it but Chapo would simultaneously promote violence towards slavers and conflate landlording as modern slavery.
John Brown was killing slave owners when there was, ya know, real de jure AND de facto slavery. Chapos were never referencing actual slave owners, and I’ve seen plenty of anti Semitic nonsense get promoted there too (and no, I’m not talking about anti-Israeli sentiments). They deserved to get banned, the whole “Reddit condones slavery bc they banned us for celebrating John Brown” was a pathetic attempt to save face.
They knew what they’re doing ffs, I’m no fan of land lords myself but don’t encourage/promote murder and then go crying when Reddit bans you for breaking the TOS.
Comment on /r/ToiletPaperUSA talking about the sub. Plenty of anti-Semitic nonsense on the sub? What the fuck are they talking about?
Just checked the history of the person who made the comment and to the surprise of no one they're a /r/neoliberal dipshit.
I was on the old sub to an unhealthy degree and never once saw anything anti-Semitic. Of course this cunt can’t cite any actual examples lol.
Do libs really have NOTHING better to throw at leftists than anti-semitism? It’s hilarious really, chuds think we’re all judeo-bolsheviks and libs think we’re all anti-semites because we don’t believe in supporting apartheid.
There was a whole lot of pearl clutching about how we're too mean to landlords in that thread too. Imagine getting offended on the behalf of fucking landlords.
not sure about this, but it seems like every get rich quick book i have come across involves real estate of some sort. Killer Mike recommends it too, specifically for rent..
You didn’t recognize it bc they hide behind common talking points. For ex. what the “ruling elite class”, bankers, and zionist all mean to you, mean something very different to them. And by different, I mean Jewish.
This is the dumbasse's explanation given to me. Apparently you can never criticize the ruling class because it's always an anti-semitic dog whistle.
aaaaaAAAAAA THEY LITERALLY SAID THEY WERENT TALKING ABOUT ANTI-ISRAEL STUFF, WTF IS ANTI-ZIONISM THEN?!?!?!
I’m gonna have an aneurysm. They have weaponised idpol to the point where it may actually kill me.
I’ve seen Holocaust denial and pro-Hamas dis-informative nonsense. And these comments were in the positives more than they weren’t.
You’re allowed to criticize anyone, even and especially those in power. But if “those in power” refers to global conspiracies about Zionist elites controlling the worlds banking system and the US government, well then yea that’s pretty damn anti Semitic.
Jesus fucking Christ now they're claiming we promoted Holocaust denial.
We hate nazis more than anyone. Why the fuck would we deny the Holocaust.
lmao dude I’ve seen ppl claim the Holocaust death toll was exaggerated to promote Israeli resettlement, some even using Hamas talking points about how zionists orchestrated the world wars AND the Holocaust to garner sympathy for their false claim to ancestral homelands, how Israel is a tool of western imperialism/colonialism...etc.
The fact that you didn’t “notice” it is kinda scary tbh. If you think “zionists” secretly control our government and the worlds money supply/banking system, then that would explain why you don’t take issue with some of the conspiracies that were commonly promoted there.
Holocaust denialism also includes historical revisionism of the atrocity, and tankies 100% do that. I explicitly said they were a vocal minority, most of the sub was fine, but they weren’t negligible. They were unequivocally there, so I genuinely don’t believe you if you claim otherwise
They then said that Stalin was a "well-known anti-Semitic" so it shouldn't be surprising that tankies are as well regardless of how much they hate Nazis lol.
Apparently this random lib is more of expert than someone who visited the old sub multiple times a day. Whoever they are they’re doing amazing opposition research!
what the “ruling elite class”, bankers, and zionist all mean to you
Lenin: "Corporate monopolies and finance form imperialism, the highest level of capitalism"
real de jure AND de facto slavery
Kamala Harris kept innocent people in prison for their slave labor, and Joe Biden literally helped build the New Jim Crow that disenfranchised millions of black Americans.
I’m no fan of land lords myself but don’t encourage/promote murder
Self defense is not murder, at worse it's manslaughter.
That's why I accuse /r/neoliberal of being a white supremacist on reddit now.
It's undeniably racist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Mead#Racist_theories_on_welfare_and_poverty
I saw people defend Reagan's AIDs policy. They said it wasn't homophobic, because gay related immune deficiency as it was known, was not necessarily linked to gay people.
honestly maybe we should just start spreading rumors there's a secret chapo as a neoliberal mod, and they just post satire but no one has caught on and hope they self-implode. It might even be true
anyone who is on /r/neoliberal is genuinely clueless as to what the left is. they've echochambered themselves so much their version of the left has almost no shared characteristics with the real left. look at this thread where they say leftists don't believe the civil war is about slavery https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/hsk6ku/abraham_lincoln_owned_slaves/
Chapo would simultaneously promote violence towards slavers and conflate landlording as modern slavery
The mating call of r/neoliberal posters. It always astouds me that so few seem aware that literal slavery is still common. I guess that doesn't count though, that is "helping the global poor".
All capitalists are lizard-aliens,

fwiw here's some tips from a working social scientist (i make smol theories about behavior and society and then actively test them) and teach others to do the same:
- learn how to think systematically and scientifically: read up on methods and theory building in sociology & psychology (maybe philosophy too). then as you read the great leftist theories, try to apply your knowledge of methodology - see if you can trace how they're generating these theories. this will help you mimic this process without having to reinvent the wheel. most/all of the biggest names in left theory had at least a university-level education and were well-versed in systematic analysis and thinking.
- practice those methods: start very small. come up with a specific problem first that you can easily define and see the boundary conditions of, and then generate a novel possible solution and/or explanation of why the problem is the way it is (i.e., hypothesis) based on what you've read from others.
- learn how to be extremely critical of your own work: go through your solution/explanation in many iterations, being aware of what was generated from others' work and what you added and from where (eg, experience, empirical observation, intuition). Try to tear down your explanation/solution and break it apart: does it fully or partially explain the problem? what are plausible alternative explanations? (git gud at teasing out the possible from the probable, because not all possible explanations are equally likely).
- Have others who are experts on the topic read your work and help you tear it apart (peer review). Ask them to write down their critiques so you can have record of the constructive conversation between you and can go back and think through the problem identification-solution generating process you built together
- share it for the world to see and hope to god you're able to add even a small piece to an infinitely large conversation
Edit to add: keep in mind big theories take a looooong time to make; most professional thinkers, scientists and researchers never make contributions on the scale as large as the names we all know. the discovery and the contributions to practice along the way have to be reward enough
Althusser made major contributions to leftist theory.
In reality, scholars now know that Althusser barely read Marx. He never read more than a few chapters of Capital. He read Mao and other stuff he was interested in and generated his ideas from there.
absolute alpha shit. his essay ideology and ideological state apparatuses is essential reading.
well how would you know whether its new or not if ur not familiar with everything everyone else has already done?
all im saying is before setting out to do something make sure you find out whether someone has already done it lol
Updates from Mali.
M5-RFP, an organization born out of the June 5th protests against state repression, has whole-heartedly endorsed the military coup. They have the support of the military and are working to create a "National Committee for the Salvation of the People":
To pay tribute to the Malian people for their heroic struggle, the M5-RFP is holding a large patriotic rally on Friday, August 21, 2020 on the Place de l'Indépendance in Bamako.
The Malian people remain more than ever mobilized and determined until the crowning of their patriotic struggle for the restoration of a democratic, republican and secular Mali, endowed with responsible and virtuous governance. [1]
The president who was ousted, Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, is a prototypical comprador bourgeoisie. He was trained in International Relations at the University of Paris. He then became a technical consultant for the European Development Fund, putting together the first small-scale development program for the European Union's aid activities in Mali. He went on to become Mali director for the French chapter of Terre des hommes, an international NGO "aiding children in the developing world." [2]
The coup was met with immediate, strong condemnation from France, America, the African Union, and the Economic Community of West African States on August 18th. [3]
China remained silent on the coup for two days. Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian addressed the coup when asked at a press briefing:
China is closely following the situation in Mali. We oppose the attempt to seek a change of power through force and other unusual means, and we support the pertinent regional and international organizations, especially the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States, in working for a peaceful settlement of the crisis in Mali. [4]
