Englands must popular game is actually not football, it’s called Scrubby Globbers, it’s where you roll around in mud, eat the mud, and then say something racist about the Irish.

Oh no I understand that, but I think saying “just dropping money in a homeless persons lap WONT fix their problems” is maybe reinforcing certain turbo lib, anti-public assistance talking points.

In reality, dropping money in their laps often CAN HELP, potentially a lot. Not always but it clearly often does and hence such programs are a good thing even if there are certain individuals for whom that assistance alone isn’t enough.

Pretty good

If you drop a few thousand bucks into a homeless addict’s lap and expect them to snap their fingers and magically get all their shit together, you’re as naive as a toddler.

Haven’t there been city and state programs that do almost exactly this and found that, broadly, they are pretty successful and improved the living conditions of most recipients?

Ultimate synthesis: I should just grill for the org, since that’s the only thing I’m competent enough to be trusted with, kkkrackkker or not.

DNC: “why isn’t anyone talking about any of the GOOD POLICIES we barely passed??? Anyway, gotta prep Biden for another press conference where he’ll say he’s gonna mildly scold Netanyahu if he blows up a 3rd orphanage.”

This is why I, a white man, do not participate in any organizing and just grill goddammit.

You’re welcome for my solidarity comrades.

I personally think of the anti-sectarianism rule as more of a “play nice with each other” rule. I think people forget, the whole reason there are sects is because there are actual strong disagreements between tendencies, sometimes intractable ones.

I think the enforced cooperation between MLs and anarchists here have caused some people to talk themselves into thinking anarchists are just MLs with punk aesthetics when that’s not really true. There’s actual conflict between the two ideologies and they tend not to get along great everywhere besides here. All for working together when possible but I don’t think we should delude ourselves into thinking the two are 100% compatible, if they were they wouldn’t be separated in the first place.

You have elections, like most communist groups do.

Wood et al 2018: there is no evidence for a consistent “backfire effect”; telling people facts generally changes their minds;

I have a VERY hard time believing this is true in given the day and age we’re living in.

What are they selling? Endangered bird corpses?

Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re also a landlord. KKKatluk.

Yeah I’m GAY

God I love

Affectionately loving women and having heterosexual intercourse with them

Yes I do

Not exactly related but I also find it funny when someone posts an anecdote to make a point, then someone posts their own anecdote to make a counterpoint, and the first person is lie “well that’s just an anecdote!”

I’ve basically come to the conclusion that most people I know are pretty fucking awful, at least in terms of their politics, even if they’re nice to me. I really don’t bother myself with it anymore, I just live my life and enjoy their company and change the topic whenever politics comes up.

I’ve basically given up on any prospect of there being an imperial core left movement and it’s honestly taken away a lot of anxiety for me. I just grill and wait for Xi to rightfully nuke me and all my shitty cracker friends and family.

“Take off your mask”

“Your honor, it is you who are wearing a mask”

“This says a lot about our society”

I’m in my 30s

“You think it’s funny to commit crimes whiles dressed up as a clown and then advocate for abolishing prisons?”

It’s me, I am the child

After the revolution there should be a historical sitcom about western leftists being cringe and having awkward encounters like this.
