Oof. I think we all have a moment like that at some point. Hope you can patch things up and express your frustrations to him in a more measured way.

While I think this article is written in a disingenuous manner/style the claims being made are very plausible. We're talking about a prison population essentially. Last I checked prisonremoved, hazing, suicide (etc) are still common trappings of current prison life the world-over, and verifiably in the West where prisonremoved is a common reactionary joke to this very day.

The only thing specifically being stated about the USSR is the date that homosexuality was re-criminalized; but as other users have made clear, the fact that it was temporarily decriminalized was a historic anomaly. Sure, I'd love for the USSR to have not re-criminalized it, as I'd love for the USSR to still be standing. But, when you interpret this article with proper context and awareness, it is clear that the intention of any article citing the abysmal conditions of prison populations which isolates the USSR is nothing more than a simple, demonizing hit piece.

Last I heard rationalists commonly traffic in polyamorous sex-pestery and HBD (which is "scientific" racism)

A mod won't take down a post for advocating violence against the ruling class or fascists, hell even died-in-the-wool liberals. That is fine. And that is not fine at all on reddit. So, in that regard, your friend was correct and it holds true.

The mods, in this case and others, are policing reactionary opportunism and trying to improve (in some cases preserve) the site's demographic diversity.

Whether they are achieving that and/or doing it effectively - I do not know.

Luigi IS the shooter.

Also it WAS a framing/set-up.

My evidence

Well while we're on the topic...

Anyone want to take a crack at the validity of this excerpt from the guy writing the letter?:

However, because fascism destroys the working-class family and furthers the impoverishment of the masses, it essentially stimulates the development of the second type of homosexuality I have described — that is, [homosexuality] out of necessity.

I think you meant daft?

I'd wager his experiences in the '90s led him to his current activism/convictions. But, he also could just be the 100,000th sheepdog.

I'd be interested in some elaboration if you care to share; I don't necessarily disagree but I can interpret what you stated in several divergent ways.

Sachs is pretty vocal about disagreeing wholeheartedly with US Foreign policy these days and praising China as the valid alternative from what I've seen. But he definitely had a "chicago boys" phase during the end of history.

He's either an actually decent guy or he's playing some 8-D Chess.

Need an in-custody picture of him smiling to really tell. And good luck getting one of those int the time period it would still be relevant.

God, now it almost feels like the timing of this is to eclipse the Syrian atrocities.

Well that was short.

I was going to make a 'chad vs virgin' template joke but I can't even muster a cheap laugh with all the abysmal news recently.

I'm getting the feeling that this guy was on the Melon train back when he was lionized by the media as a champion of positive, progressive initiatives/industries and now that Melon has been exposed as a fascist fraud it led Luigi down a dark path of disillusionment. I'm not going to check the retweet timestamps to corroborate any, though. I'm sure this guy has a ton of bad blood with healthcare insurance but part of me has always thought Melon would be a great Marie Antoinette figure for the American socialist revolution.

Can't really think of a more fitting end for Captain Bazinga than being ripped apart by a mob in the streets.

clue: insurance claims involve adjusters

Lovely

French government collapse

If only this was as cool as it sounds. In an alternate, better reality Macron is enjoying political asylum rather than Assad.

We love our aesthetics of democracy don't we folks
