Yeah. I cant tell white ppl apart either. Good bit though.
we are sometimes the worst parts of reddit and leftbook put together. ok maybe not the worst parts, but we eat up fake stuff so often
:this:
This site is pretty good but falls for bait so, so often. It's pathetic, honestly. So much of "I heard this thing on Twitter that might be true, but I'm too lazy to check, so I'm just going to post it here". Then all the comments say things like "Wow what an asshole!" :so-true: and when someone asks them if they are actually going to check if it's true or not they'll say "I'm also too lazy to check!"
we also have a pretty bad problem of only reading the headlines
mods need to start enforcing some rules around posting fake "meme" posts.

To Mao, on the Cultural Revolution: "You used a half measure, when you should have gone all the way"
He said the rebels in Star Wars were based o the North Vietnamese Army and the Empire was the US
I had assumed that the statement was just impulsive venting about getting his films funded. But given this additional context, I guess Lucas is based.
George Lucas is the closest you can possibly get to being a "good" billionaire.
UllesysT's post should be all you need to know to inform you just how far that gets you

He's basically the perfect example of it. Instead of solidarity with the rest of the bourgeoisie, he gets in fights with NIMBYs and pushes to build affordable housing in wealthy areas.

Wait is that first part real? Did Lucas really meet Parenti and post about it?
No lol I just found a guy who looked like George Lucas at first glance while looking for a picture of Parenti
No body shame but George Lucas got the worst double chin of all time. Google his chin and there's some doozies
