How does DiCaprio have an image to protect? He’s a creep and that’s been synonymous with his name for several years now.

That doesn’t mean “however they want,” it just means “I don’t know.” You not having access to the basis for what the best answers are does not mean we should endorse the idea that there’s no better or worse approach.

Even when they lose the election, they still cling to the dogma that they are unquestionably more “electable”.

Sorry for jumping to conclusions. Thanks for being more charitable than I was

Saying violent homophobia is just the fault of closeted homosexuals and not heterosexuals is a grievous insult to many more gay people than to straights while denying the substantial guilt of many straight people

I know bait when I see it, but there’s one point that I’ve complained about a few times already (and in fairness to HB, was met with no reprisal on): https://hexbear.net/comment/6251976

As I explained to death in those comments, I support the DPRK over Occupied Korea and the West, I support its nuclear program and other military investments, and most of what an American would say about the DPRK is a lie, but the DPRK is not remotely Marxist, it can hardly be said to even be socialist (as they deny the need for private ownership to end), and I can go on with criticisms but you can get the idea. Basically everyone on Hexbear either redwashes the DPRK or stays silent, though some might tacitly believe what I said and just focus on the anti-imperialist struggle element, which is valid but does not detract from my claim.

Fair enough

I agree, but there are wars where America is not a significant participant.

Even if we’re taking a slightly goofy approach like this, it might be better to direct hostility to people who are foreign-educated rather than merely knowing English, which in some countries is most people.

You’re just giving up on the idea of there being a correct answer, at complete odds with dialectical materialism

“Aggression” is doing a lot of work there because people always call the other side the aggressor, even when the other side is just acting in its own defense, in which case communists should probably support that side.

Mao argued basically the same thing, and that’s the whole point of “New Democracy” besides the issue of development of relations of production, since China still had heavy feudal elements. That was why Mao supported a temporary alliance with the “patriotic bourgeoisie” against colonial forces, but he was quite clear that you can’t let that circumstance become cemented.

You’re make a false dichotomy to justify your own complacency in doing what you find to be cathartic rather than what is actually beneficial.

Ah, the hand in the pocket was blocked by Musk just enough that I missed it

Who is the gun guy?

Yeah, the Thousand Year Blood War anime did numbers

I don’t mean it as a point of judgement, it just is an echo chamber and you can observe that in the lack of voiced disagreement on countless issues much more specific and peripheral than “should poor people get to eat?”

It’s text

Which still carries tone, and that one was clearly accusatory

and half the people on here have autism. Can we not?

You’re hiding behind finger wagging but this doesn’t actually make sense. Am I just to that phrasing it as an accusation is just an oopsie whoopsie from someone with a very specific subset of autistic traits that leaves them with no idea of how they come off, and that them having no idea means they should not be encouraged to try to be mindful?

What they said was incredibly dumb, but a lot of this is just you masturbating and it doesn’t really help this person improve or really communicate anything helpful to anyone. Perhaps most importantly, there’s no reason to think them incapable of independent thought. The problem is that they are too comfortable not exercising it.

I need to wonder if this is a child
