It’s pretty amusing that many liberals’ takeaway from the election seems to be “the USA is too misogynist to elect a female president”, when just four years ago claims that Bernie Sanders had said the same thing to Warren was seen as evidence of his misogyny.

happy alternate 9/11

I don’t think looking Italian is the bad part about being one

Tomatoes from the store are refrigerated, which turns them pretty bland, and they probably don’t do that to canned tomatoes. I can’t say I’ve ever eaten them straight from the can to compare, though.

Wait so “higher quality” stuff goes to gossip and lower quality to counterpropaganda? Aren’t these names backwards? The rules of counterpropaganda also do not seem to agree with this, unless you have a ridiculously wide definition of “propaganda”.

I think people generally overestimate the effectiveness of the “weird” thing for actually getting votes. It probably goes over well with the loyalist democrats, but those are already going to vote for you anyway. I don’t think it does anything for disaffected liberals, or dissuades lukewarm Trump voters, Trump is just too likable of a weirdo for it and now seems even more anti-establishment.

I just started, and so much of the dialogue reminds me of Overwatch pre-game chatter, because it is so empty in both style and content that paying attention to it actively feels like wasting your time.

I will also not do anything differently, unless I am forced to. You are welcome.

This election has shown us that the American public just isn’t ready for a vice president whose name rhymes with “balls”

The idea of sex is an abstraction, much like anything else we can think about. It is abstracted from the rest of reality so that we can think about it. The different abstractions of it are done for some purposes, some of which are better than others. Abstraction is a social process, and we should absolutely be critical of it.

The difference between social constructivism of nature and the Marxist dialectical view is that we think that the material reality has an objective (if ever-changing) structure that is not solely determined by human thought, and for example sex exists as far as the idea is useful for understanding this reality.

Maybe this happening a second time can end the pervasive liberal nationalism of “this is not America”, but I somehow doubt that

Who can say, but I do find the liberal “proof” of Trump’s dictatorial intent flimsy, and am also skeptical of his ability to do a self-coup if he did want to end democracy.

The End of Democracy narrative they have been building absolutely justifies it, if nothing happens it will be because they never really believed all those things

Harris and Trump both coincidentally die in the same car crash on election day, and the USA balkanizes as a result

Clothesline -> bounce off the ropes -> elbow drop

You could say they are the same thing looked at from different points of view, or that it is surplus value while in production and turns into profit in circulation. They probably also have historical differences when looked at beyond the era of capitalism.

Interesting to see so many “leftists” condemn the actions of Seto Kaiba, even though they were all done to build duel power

I miss getting into new music on a train ride, I should come up with an excuse to do that again

Barely had time to make a jack off lantern this year

The real reason for the argument is that they do not want to give trans people a higher stage of social recognition, which has happened to other minorities before. Maybe pointing out that people said the exact same thing about the term “straight” would work? It is also pretty easy to make fun of them by making them say they are not cis, and then acting like they just came out to you.
