thank you mr putin for showing your commitment to denazification by starting at home

does it make you feel good when you use the suffering of hawaiians as a punchline

A market regulated by an uncorrupt government, you say?

to my recollection, there was some dorm somewhere that was room 195, and they had their own subreddit where the rule was that you had to post something before you left. somehow it ended up breaking out into a broader space and getting viewed by way more people than had ever set foot in the dorm. the subreddit eventually died for some reason, and the users that were left made a new subreddit called 196, since it was the sequel to the last subreddit

election season produced some takes that are reminding me a lot of this situation, wherein something completely innocuous/outright good (being openly indignant about systemic oppression, displaying a user's preferred pronouns) is smeared by liberals who are trying to associate said good things with bad people, thus drawing a connection that anyone who supports these good things is actually a bad person

they got it with bernie because he yelled, and abusive men also yell, therefore anyone supporting bernie is supporting abuse. the angle taken here is that hexbear users have pronoun tags, and hexbear users are bad, therefore you should be suspicious of anyone who has pronoun tags. they're just dipping into casual transphobia as a very limp attempt at an own

Show

remember back when people said bernie shouldn't be president because he raised his voice when he spoke

Good riddance. 196 became a pit years ago. No quarter given to the chasers, ableists, and scratched libs who blew in under the wings of . The greatest solace lies in the fact that these people do not and can not accomplish fucking anything material offline, meaning they essentially cease to exist the second you take the computer away from them.

something that really grinds my gears is the sheer number of people who are willing to treat the US and the decisions of its capitalist citizenry with kid gloves whenever someone fucks up. a piece of entertainment is getting rid of their gay characters? well, that's just because you're not allowed to have those in Russia, and we've gotta sell there. elon is trying to get rid of the block feature on twitter? well, he's just capitulating to the authoritarian wishes of the Saudi Arabian government, nothing he can do about it. a million preventable deaths to covid? well, if only China had said something earlier so we could have gotten started on doing nothing a couple months in advance

it's such a strange narrative that americans are never actually responsible for anything and they're just doing what everyone else forces them to do when the closest thing they've got to a cultural identity is this idea of not being beholden to any other nation's whims

CW for anti-asian racism

dipping back into against my better judgment after having spent a long time logged off from social media and it really is absurd how deep the hatred for asians runs within the westoid brain. you get completely fetishized and infantilized if you're from one of the "cool" countries (ie. Japan or South Korea), wherein these people continually fawn over you for your superior, single-ethnicity, non-political land. any indication that these are living people with varied beliefs and lives as complex and storied as anyone else's must be completely buried by dipshits who insist that your entire culture labors under an idealized child-like innocence where nobody has ever had a Political thought, ever. these redditors believe that everyone slots neatly into a cartoon character trope at their most diverse because their entire engagement with the world is through consumption of exported entertainment

and god help you if you're from one of the "acceptable target" countries like China, or India, or Thailand. people will flood the comments of literally any post if they catch so much as a passing suggestion that it might have something to do with one of the Bad Countries. "jokes" about filthy wet markets and people shitting in the streets, "jokes" about shoddy construction killing people, "jokes" about traveling abroad in search of finding new sexual conquests, "jokes" about how the asian skull simply doesn't have enough divots in it to allow their brains to experience foreign concepts like love or family or responsibility. the shit these people say is vile. i don't understand how you can type this shit out and not feel your stomach churn with the primal knowledge that you're being a fucking monster

it's complete dehumanization. you either get it from people whose only conception of you is that you're a very pretty doll to be dressed up and discarded, or you're a fanged, disgusting beast who needs to be put down

i'm certain it's no shock to any of us here that angloid westerners are overwhelmingly the most racist pieces of shit imaginable, but it really does seem like it's becoming more and more acceptable to be dropping shit like this in "polite company". the libs have been scratched for a long, long time, and i think the thick ichor blood of the fascist is starting to ooze from their wounds at a rate i'm not ready for

It's actually really easy to not enlist in the military. I'm not in the military every single day. You don't even have to think about it, you can just wake up in the morning and poof, you're not in the military.

Any fucking questions?

one part of my brain is celebrating the fact that even russia libs aren't immune to realizing how fucked up everything coming out of the nafo and noncredibledefense dickheads is, and the other part of my brain is trying to cope with the fact that this person is going to be immediately threatened into silence/deletion/deactivation by their peers for not joining them in the calls for total russian genocide

imagine the kinds of people who would proudly put a globe emoji in their twitter display name and spend their days making memes about how cool it is to fire 1500 rounds from a gatling gun into a syrian family and you'll be 90% of the way there

watching a subreddit i enjoy getting overtaken by the noncredibledefense shitheads and turned into a counter-left american imperialist circlejerk of "well actually bombing all of the houses in iraq was based"

"chuck wendig is the guy who wrote the star wars fart wedding" is a sentence that is based in material reality and makes sense with context

years upon years of struggling to get people to question capitalism and all it takes for the liberals on my timeline to start retweeting lefty news publications are the MSM hush orders on the coverage of chemical spills. amazing that i have done so poor a job radicalizing people relative to what the united states transport division is able to do to itself

my experience with every french person i've talked to is that they're all either neolib ghouls or seem incredibly cool and based until you hear their opinions on romani people for the first time

nihilistic capitalist apologia from self-professed "left leaning" people is the one thing that boils my blood like nothing else. i cannot fucking stand people dropping that "no ethical consumption" line to justify them doing actively harmful things with their money. the fucking sentiment of that statement is meant to be that you cannot engage with a market in a moral manner, not that you should be completely excused from responsibility for your own actions because other people are also funding genocides :hypersus:

always upsetting to see a decent subreddit start the slow slide into fash shit. i understand that i really ought to expect nothing but the worst from :reddit-logo: but seeing out and out "acceptable" reactionary sentiment (anti-China "jokes", "ironic" racism, anticommunism) trickle into an otherwise alright community because of do-nothing mods sucks ass
