Post hog was wild and felt crazy at the time, but I think I’m still partial to the old episode megas. Chapo was never deep, but people would delve into the content and find a way to extract actual insight. It was cool sharing a piece of media and crowdsourcing an analysis of it.
After Sanders was ratfucked out in 2000, someone posted:
Show"Where did that bring you? Back to me."
seeing that
repeatedly on the old sub permanently altered something in my brain
Oh I didn't know it was an emoji
I was literally an anarcho-communist until that point. It started to read Lenin during free time during lockdowns in 2020.
When Nick Mullen pinned an Avengers Engame spoilers post and a ton of capeshit enjoyers had a meltdown in the comments
Folks, the bourgeois, they're no good, more and more people are saying it. All these workers— the biggest, we have the biggest workers— very handsome workers come up to me and say, Comrade Trump there is a specter haunting Europe, and you know what, they're right. These bourgeois are very nasty people, very very rude, and very unfair to the workers. They are stealing our surplus value and no one is doing anything about it. The proletariat comes up to me every day and says, Comrade Trump will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say look, the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction, believe me. The means of production, Obama never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I'm seizing them. Landlords? They're done for folks. Everyone told me— they said, Comrade Trump you won't be the vanguard of the revolution and they would laugh, the media laughed the democrats laughed, guess who's laughing now?
Folks, what we did in 1917–the Revolution we call it, with a capital R–it's never been done before. So many big beautiful red flags, you couldn't even–now that, folks, that's a flag we stand up for, we don't kneel for our terrific red flag–and you couldn't even see the Winter Palace. You know the Mensheviks, and Renegade Kautsky, they said we couldn't do it! They said, "Oh, Vlad, the material conditions are bad, we have to have a bourgeois republic to develop the forces of production." You know what that means, right? Semi-feudal economy! Well, look at where we are now, Julius. We are going to develop the forces of production so fast it'll make your head spin. We are going to do in a generation what it took them many, many years to do.
We’re bringing back bread, folks! And not just bread, but peace too–and you know, the Left-SRs, they’re very nasty to me about Brest-Litovsk, they say I make bad deals with the Germans, even though, nobody does treaties better than me, and the Germans are tough, but when they deal with me they know my reputation, they know I make the best deals, and you know, many people in Germany, they say they want Lenin too! Little pickelhaub man is scared, because he knows that we have built an incredible movement, and we are gonna have world revolution, the biggest revolution anyone has ever had. But, still, you know, the fake bourgeois media, the white guards, they say “He colluded with the Germans, he got on the train, did this did that”–and they’re just crazed. They are really crazed. Right. And we can’t just let that happen, because there’s nothing to do with Germany, nothing at all. Total witch hunt. Very unfair.
Okay, long story short: I know how hard-left this sub is, and I'm pretty much to the left myself. I can't stand crooked law enforcement. I fiercely support Black Lives, and I think we need reform badly.
But I happen to enjoy some movies/shows/games that have police characters.
And I'm getting beyond fed up with seeing a certain movie (Zootopia) that impacted me so much get attacked from the left in this manner. Basically, I don't agree with how some in the hard left keep holding it up as "cop propaganda" or "fascist", which it isn't, and people accusing it of "getting racial allegories wrong" when in reality, the movie is an allegory for prejudice as a whole.
Like, I don't find crap like this funny. I find it infuriating. Because it's not true. https://i.redd.it/0qy9v4on7gs31.jpg
Some hard leftists accuse the film of missing the mark because the "predators" evolved from eating prey mammals to eating fish and bugs. That's not meant to symbolize anything in real life, it's just something that happened with those animals in a kids' movie. It doesn't clash with the movie's messaging at all. It's not "police apologism" because the police department is depicted as inept in many ways, and the story contains a moral against unfair profiling. Now for some reason, the “NP” link option isn’t working, but I discussed this before in BreadTube and CompleteAnarchy. I’m asking you how you feel about this because I once encountered a thread in this sub mocking Judy Hopps, doing the whole “ACAB” thing, and I was legit upset by it. If you think I’m some kind of idiot, weirdo or loser for getting so emotional about a game aimed at gamers that’s part of a company that’s your right. But people have been sharing “ Judy's’s a pig, smash the state” memes in the Zootopia sub. And as someone who can’t watch certain scenes in the movie without crying my eyes out, they really bothered me and I didn’t think they were fair at all.Okay, long story short: I know how hard-left this sub is, and I'm pretty much to the left myself.

Ok, yet bunny cop dude ended up having an excuse. I feel bad making fun of the person
I was on the old sub quite a bit. John brown posting and the general 2020 buildup was a good posting time.
I miss it sometimes but then I remember it was reddit and then I dont
We used to make r/all nearly every day. Hell ya, capital can't be allowing that shit.
I only ever lurked the old subreddit from time to time but I did remember post hog
Damn, I missed that. The interview was wild though
