not to antagonize, but i really don’t know if revolutionaries would just buy it if a bougie/petit bougie just tells them “wait! don’t shoot! i like mao/lenin/marx/engel!”, i feel like they might put them into some kind of test (for example asking what mao/lenin/marx/engels’ viewpoints on certain things are) first to see if the bougie/petit bougie in question is being genuine.
circumcision (usually forced by their parents) on kids is never genital mutilation or a “bad thing”
it’s only ever bad when they want to invert their penis to resemble a vagina. mentioning this because people still call this “genital mutilation” even if the person in question is an adult by the time they’re doing it.
it’s just willfull ignorance and hatred for people different to you at this point.
Correct, but Iranians also called USSR the Lesser Satan (because of “State Atheism” I guess?). However, a friend told me that Iranians don’t have problems with the Soviets, unlike with Usonians; so it kind of makes it weird why they gave the USSR a similar nickname…
We are now firmly in an equivalent to the satanic panic of the 1980s.
…so it’s gonna die down in 2030s-2040s?
Where are all the human rights organizations that love to bash non-Western countries
they’re sucking on their thumbs. human rights organizations’ real purpose is to try to continue exerting usonian control over other countries through appealing to feelings/morality.
American society has become psychopathic
the world will do so.much.better. with the cessation of usonia’s existence. i’m convinced that this is what all the abrahamic religions meant by coming of the antichrist. literal hell on earth.

half-joking, but wouldn’t be further from the truth
they’re still valued at 1… you’d think because they have a (seemingly glowing blue) star on them (and how they’re rare and not easily-found), they’d be more valuable, be worth at the very least 5 or 10 caps, but apparently not
god, there needs to be more local/regional-styled mosques. every mosque you see nowadays follows a generic arabic architecture. no creativity whatsoever.
yes, the point of a mosque is for muslims to have a place to worship, but still
We must not allow the European Union to expand, we must contain it wherever possible
you don’t need to worry about the EU expanding anytime soon; as it’s not gonna accept new countries any time soon either. turkey and the balkan countries have applied for EU membership ages ago and they still weren’t even considered, let alone allowed into the EU.
Although I didn’t participate, I did like this little forum game that was going on when this year started. It would be lovely to see something like this happen next year. Maybe something other than alt-hunting, to keep things fresh?
This is a question I've been meaning to ask for a very long time.
**Candidates:**
- Syria *(ruled by Assad of the Ba'athist party, which seems to be a form of Arab Socialism)*
- Nicaragua *(ruled by a Socialist party, surprised they haven't went the China route already... but then again they're within the close proximity of Usonia, so I guess it makes sense)*
- Nepal *(So many Communist Parties + Already ruled by one, it would be a huge shame if it doesn't turn Socialist or go that route)*
There are likely other countries too that has the potential to turn Socialist/Leftist, like Peru; but I don't know much about them so I didn't put them in there. Sorry about that. But anyway, which country do you think will be the next/Sixth AES country?
I don't mind the occassional memes dunking on Al-Ukraina and the Imperialist West and the occassional snippets calling out western hypocrisy and showing the barbarianism Ukrainian Civilians are facing from their own military forces; but I'm not interested in hearing about your *oh-so-hot-takes* on LGBT issues and using it as a way to flex your "morality" to the world. I'm sick of it already.
It's a relatively obscure, old game that I'd say is essentially Atomic Heart *before* the actual Atomic Heart showed up; due to the game taking place in the USSR (Stalin's USSR no less!) where the USSR supposedly made a psychic antenna to turn everyone in the USSR into supermen to ensure a global victory of Communism (this part feels Trotskyist, not something Stalin would do); and of course, the experiment goes wrong because of course it does; and everyone's now either dead or a silent hill-esque monster.
Every East European (especially Russians) here would know what I'm talking about, as the game was mostly popular in those areas.
EDIT: In case anyone's wondering, no I have not played it. But I will say that I've heard this was going to get a remake, wonder what happened to it
**EDIT:** I keep uploading a GIF, but Lemmygrad would keep converting it to a MP4. Sorry.

Philippines was the name given by Spanish Colonists once they "discovered" the already-inhabited archipelago next to Malaysia and Indonesia. The name was based from King Philip, a Spanish King.
Given that the name has colonial backgrounds, shouldn't the country try to move forward from its colonial past, starting with renaming the country into a more local-sounding name? Myanmar did it by changing from Burma to Myanmar, for example.
I've seen names like Rizalia and Luzviminda float around when talking about a potential re-naming of Jose Rizal's archipelagic nation.
`Warning: Long Post Ahead.`
Only, it happened in the Western World/Global North; and the Zombie Apocalypse wasn't anything portrayed in the media.
Why do I say this? Well:
- Most Global Northerners ***STILL*** make Soviet/Communist references whenever Russia is brought up; ***despite*** the fact that the USSR was forcibly put out of existence against the will of the people. In addition, Modern Russia is **NOTHING** like the good 'ol Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
- Seriously, try looking up videos (or any media for the matter) about Russia in YouTube and tell me if you could find ONE MAJOR VIDEO ABOUT RUSSIA without Soviet/Communist references. Even on Odysee (I only go there for RT, fuck that reactionary hellhole) of all sites, there was a HammSick and USSR written on the thumbnail of the remix of the Russian Anthem.
---
- Despite the Government of China's preference to be called "CPC/Communist Party of China", most people, even the so-called "A"politicals say CCP instead. And these type of people then go on and scorn anyone that call the Government of China by its preferred name (CPC).
---
- People ***still*** go on regurgitating the same old crap about the Tiannmen Square Massacre and the Tank Man picture despite the release of the full footage surrounding Tank Man in question.
---
- Because of a well-spreaded lie about Chairman Xi banning Winnie the Pooh in China over memes comparing him to Winnie. And thus started an endless supply of Chairman Xi being molded with the Pooh Bear. It honestly just feels like a racist caricature at this point. A modern day minstrelism, if you ask me.
---
- There was a time when most people on the internet denounced HISSrael. Now? People have to ask when or if it's okay to criticize or be against HISSrael, because "If you're Anti-Zionist/criticize or denounce the Apartheidist State of HISSrael in any way shape or form, you're an Anti-Semite!". And people just buys this shit, no questions asked.
---
- People just believe - without question - bile spreaded around as "factual news" about China and the DPRK. And now Russia as well.
- Exhibit A: Western Media spreaded outrageous lies about the SMO, claiming [Russian Military SA'd Ukrainian Women](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/russian-commanders-ordering-sexual-assault-ukrainians-2030184) and that [Russia was making a special form of Viagra](https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-soldiers-supplied-with-viagra-to-rape-ukrainians-un-official-2022-10) just so the Russian Army could keep SA-ing Ukrainian Women. I don't like Russia for its constant, unnecessary dunkings on LGBT+ people; but even then I think this type of smearing was uncalled for.
- Even where I live, people outright believe Western-baked lies about the DPRK and the so-called Uyghur "Genocide"; and then turn around, hue, scream and cry about "WESTERN CULTURE IS INVADING THIS COUNTRY!!!" whenever as much as the **concept** of LGBT+ is even *slightly* mentioned, or whenever Women ask for more rights or **wear** and **do** as they so please. (Even my peers bashed people calling for women to be able to wear as they please without being harassed, what the fuck!?!!)
---
- Before 2022, barely anyone heard about Ukraine and those that did bashed it for being a corrupt, pedophilic hellhole. Now? All of a sudden everyone and their mother are showering Ukraine, ***especially*** Elenskyy with so, SO MUCH undeserved love; acting as if he's Jesus 2. In reality, Elenskyy's the world's most spoiled child I've ever seen in my whole life, my god. He's already eating up everything the US offers (which is enough to solve its own Domestic Issues BTW!) and yet it's ***still*** "not enough" for him.
So, yeah. These are why I've been thinking for a while now if a Zombie Apocalypse has happened right under our noses; because OH MY GOD HOW CAN PEOPLE BE THIS OUTRAGEOUSLY STUPID?! I honestly feel tempted to call the average Liberal a Zombie these days.
**`EDIT:`** And if you're wondering, "well if they're zombies, then what do they eat? surely not brains as they're still humans like us, right?" Answer: Anything the Mainstream Media or the Demonocrats (Government Body of the USA - including the CIA and Feds, not just the Democrats) says. No. Questions. Asked. Just like your typical zombies who will eat any brain they find, without wondering if it's a "good-quality brain".
I'm posting this in c/GenZedong instead of - I guess, c/MentalHealth or c/Comradeship because, although I'm kind of pissed from being surrounded by reactionaries and hearing liberal lies all the time, the post involves less personal problems and more political issues.
^Also,^ ^was^ ^there^ ^ever^ ^a^ ^venting^ ^community^ ^in^ ^Lemmygrad?^ ^Or^ ^was^ ^it^ ^just^ ^c/MentalHealth^ ^all^ ^this^ ^time?^
Given that Libyans/North Africans had found out just how well-off they were under Gaddafi's rule compared to the "fReE mArKeT eCoNOmy", surely this must mean that there's at least *some* (if little) resurgence of Gaddafism.

It was cowardly of me to run away last time; but this time I won't run away anymore. I will fight you to the
very end as long as I can still breathe. I mean it, er guizi.
Azov Battalion, look at the trashed monastery behind you. You're just an er guizi who doesn't even look human,
let alone a guizi! Yet you still try to bully me in the internet, well, don't let me find where you live, er
guizi; because if I ever see you - I'll fucking castrate you.

I ate a Russian Krokant candy again. They're really tasty.

Or do you keep a few Windows/Mac PCs lying around?
You know, just in case you need to run an app/game that *only* works perfectly on Windows/Mac and WINE/Proton wouldn't run it?
Been thinking of Linuxifying my Laptop eversince I enjoyed Linux after defecting to it (from Windows) in my main PC (a Desktop).
What the hell’s going on in the 2nd picture on the top?
