Great reading comprehension, that's not all I wrote.
It's shite for numerous reasons, but it's better than what came before. We can acknowledge the benefits while simultaneously acknowledging that we can do better.
What superior system has been implemented at scale?
And quit changing the subject, answer my question. Unless you can't, because you know I'm right. Disingenuous.
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were the adjudicator of who is leftist.
Answer me, who benefits from your propaganda? It's not the left, it's not Palestinians, it's not minorities. It's the far-right, who love that you're abdicating the tools to defeat them. And you get to act superior, which must be nice to bolster your cosplay.
Unless you can identify a specific, material way this benefits anyone on the left, it's best to just assume you're either mindlessly repeating propaganda, or you're actively trying to obstruct the left.
That's what I'm saying man. Do something practical and stop cosplaying. This disingenuous virtue signaling is sad and counterproductive.
Who benefits from you refusing to vote for Democrats? The left? Nope. Palestine? Nope. Minorities? Nope. Literally the only one that benefits are the Republicans. You're the one wasting your vote for the benefit of the right. You're either a right wing troll, or you've been brainwashed by one. Use your brain comrade.
Expiring how long did it take Europe to shed absolute monarchism? Centuries. And power emerged in new forms, like I said.
New, stable forms of organizing civilization take generations to establish. I'm all for representation, but let's not pretend that past implementations of the "people's democracy" were free from corruption. The USSR was a nice idea, but it took less than half a century for it to succumb to bureaucratic corruption. Arguably, it was even deeper autocratic corruption than in Western democracies.
I just don't see a meaningful difference. It would be difficult, but not impossible, to change the landscape of our existing system with massive leftist voter turnout. We could achieve, incrementally, the same results as through toppling and rebuilding society. And as difficult as that would be, it would be less difficult than toppling and rebuilding society, with the added benefit of avoiding extremely corruptible power vacuums.
And what, you just believe some low effort analogy as gospel? Weak.
I said, that voting helps you choose your enemy. An enemy that obstructs the left is obviously better than an enemy that obstructs the left and pushes right. This is a very simple concept, why don't you get it? Why are you making more work for us?
I was wrong, we aren't on the same side. I'm on the side of leftist progress, you're on the side of sanctimonious virtue signaling. That's peak cosplay.
Grown ups make decisions that further their goals, even when it takes time and effort. They don't spend all their time complaining about things being hopeless. Grow up.
Uh, are you feeling okay? What you just posted is devastating to your point. I'm saying to try to keep the ratchet on the stationary stage line enough to actually push left, you're saying "Lol just let it spin right". This is so incredibly stupid, what idiot thought that the ratchet effect supports such a stupid argument? I feel like I'm in a room full of toddlers shouting nonsense catchphrases.
Right, you say that, and that's a lovely aspiration, but how is it implemented? I don't have a magic wand here that eliminates class, but even if I did, how do you prevent demagogues from influencing the majority? Erasing established power at one point in time does not prevent it from rising again in a new form. You're just trading capital interest for charismatic manipulation.
Yes, because everything is easier for the left when Republicans are in power 🙄. I swear, it's going to be easier to radicalize liberals than to convince you lot to stop shooting yourselves in the foot. Have fun circle jerking over your ideological purity, I guess. We'll be over here actually trying to make things better, if you feel like helping.
What a joke, are you 15?
It's spicy, salty, heavy on a particular ingredient, anything that might be off-putting to some.
What is the soup of the day?
"Soup du jour"
Mmm, that sounds good.
This is an actual exchange I had.
Looks innocuous enough at first glance right? Let's zoom in on the problem:
These don't go together. If the semicircle on the left is correct, then this is showing moon phases, and the symbol on the right should be of a gibbous moon:
If the cookie-with-a-bite-taken-out in the right is correct, then this is showing an eclipse, and the symbol on the left should be of a 50% partial eclipse:
It drives me crazy every time I look at it.
I wanted to
