Unironically my favorite of the new Doctors, from all the way back in the day when I actually watched the show

I like that Dead Kennedy's album "Give me convenience or give me death"

haha you were deceived :troll:

Ok but what if I have a very hairy asshole and my butthole retains a gallon of water every time I use a bidet? Am I just supposed to dry it with toilet paper? Oh ok

I listened to a ton of Have A Nice Life recently and it rocks but also is too depressing to listen to as much as I do sometimes.

The I Put A Spell on You cover by CCR was also playing in my head a ton yesterday and it rocks

Finally listened to To Pimp a Butterfly since someone I know told me to and I listened to Good Kid, m.A.A.d City since a different friend told me to and I gotta say I prefer good kid, m.A.A.d city

I've only ever done customer service so I can reliably say manual labor or teaching

I'm not arguing about the character of the Chinese Communist Party and I apologize if it came off like I was trying to shit stir about that.

I was tipsy and snide when I made the original comment so I'll sum up what I should have said in the first place: Claiming a country is communist or socialist because it's respective communist or socialist party is overwhelmingly huge isn't a great argument because the name of a political party has nothing to do with how production is organized under its leadership.

uh oh did imiss the time period

idk I feel like I can wholeheartedly want Justice :maduro-katana-1: : :maduro-katana-2: to be served to the bloodthirsty ghouls who run this empire but a vast majority of the people I know and love who live in the empire hate the empire and are kind, sweet people whose deaths won't bring justice at all.

I know dismantling the empire will bring suffering of some sort to those living within and without, but to actively strive for the suffering of the masses of the empire seems like impotent rage imo

Our end goal is liberation, not the suffering that can occur along the way. I feel like when people keep going back to ironic statements about the suffering and jokingly act like they look forward to the suffering, it can potentially reflect how right-wingers reinforce and indoctrinate into people their violent beliefs through memes. Obviously we're different from right-wingers and they actively salivate for day-of-the-rope type stuff, but it doesn't help if our posting patterns follow similar patterns

Commie: I’d prefer if you were the one that was dead instead

I don't think that's what the OP is referring to here. I would assume it's moreso about jokes etc for mass violence against entire countries (Sink England, nuke America etc) that come across as insensitive and frankly weird/gross unless you understand the irony/context behind it and can assume the random person posting on a niche internet forum is joking and doesn't actually want mass suffering

Right, but if one party can claim to be socialist and have a ton of members despite not being socialist, then another party can claim to be communist and have a ton of members without being communist. I'm not saying the CPC isn't Communist or Socialist, I just think the argument that China is communist because it's communist party is massive isn't a very great one

we called them the noon aides

I don't know if I would use the party name argument when the national socialist german worker's party was so popular too, despite it not being socialist.

*illiterate servant class of service workers

Liberal screaming "Wer hat uns verraten? Die Sozialdemokraten"

honestly agree because how many assholes get a big dog without understanding the huge commitment in time, energy and money it is just to either

A.) neglect it

or

B.) put it up for adoption

Nothing like a 2-for-1 roommates situation :)

For sure! The nearest gym that I would realistically go to has coupons in local newspapers every once in a while for 2 free trainer sessions so I would be able to try it out before committing :)

I don't think that's necessarily it. If the people have lost faith in the central organizer of their surplus product it can be very akin to being alienated from your work under capitalism. While whether or not the USSR (Big Other bless it's memory) produced commodities or not, an aspect of Estranged Labor was that "the object which labor produces – labor’s product – confronts it as something alien, as a power independent of the producer." If someone has no say over their production and feels it falls into a corrupted system full of graft and irrationality, some aspects of Capitalist alienation may arise.

Though like you say a campaign to reduce corruption at a massive scale to inspire faith in economic planners again would have been key

yeah this is what I was thinking
