Closing the subreddit to start a global Socialist revolution was not okay.

Something I wonder about when I post in threads like this is the possibility of it being sifted through one day by historians, of some sort. Whether that’s internet archivists digging around the wreckage of the old worldwide web for lost media 20 years from now, or scholars from a post-internet empire 5 centuries from now trying to salvage whatever data they can from what they view as the height of human civilisation. Just as the tiniest Roman shopping list carved onto stone would give us insight into what life was like for a distant ancestor of ours, our posts could give our descendants a glimpse into our world.

If you are a curious scholar or even a passionate amateur sifting through the digital detritus of the 2020s to learn what life was like in the leadup to the third world war, i have only one message for you: MARG BAR ISRAEL

i didn’t ‘post at’ her. i politely ignored her and hoped others would wisen up and do the same. i only started passing judgement out loud when i found out 4 years later that my gut instinct was more or less correct, and she’d gone down in flames because of it

lol, i always wondered what happened to her. i can’t believe A) its been 4 years and b) i never heard the story of how she got banned

her posts always irked me. even taking them at face value and not being skeptical of her intentions, i was confused at why the community kept rallying around someone who constantly sabotaged herself so much. she’s not someone who is ever going to stop using, because deep down she doesn’t have the desire to.

Outlets are retracting obituaries and stories about the death of Noam Chomsky. It appears that Dr. Chomsky either did not pass away, or that his wife is trained in the forbidden arts of Brazilian Necromancy, the same powers that have kept Jair Bolsonaro’s remains animated for the past decade.

Noam Chomsky has left the building.

Edit: DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS

same as when someone calls me anything in a mean way— quiet smoldering resentment and elaborate years-long revenge plots that end in their untimely death, from natural causes as far as the coroner can tell

did they check the mountains of East Azerbaijan?

do you think my balls might taste like sweat and hair?

specifically russian ethnonationalists, i’m not trying to paint the entire country with that label.

leftists who cannot separate anti-imperialism from ‘uncritically believing bullshit from ethnonationalists, because they aren’t westerners’ drive me up a wall

Cotton scares me. he’s too much of a pencil-necked dweeb and a wet towel to stand a chance as a presidential candidate, but he would absolutely angle for a position in a far right administration, where he’d be able to do the maximum damage. he’s cruel, simple-minded, and good at appealing to other cruel and simple-minded people. its motivating paranoid white suburbanites with the promise of blood that keeps him in office, not charisma.

he’s one of the most dangerous potential figures in a second Trump administration, because he genuinely wants as much bloodshed from people he doesn’t like as possible, and is willing to break all political/social norms to make sure it happens.

i think they realise how fraught a position they are in, and want to make sure the next move isn’t rushed. if they’re smart, they’ll walk it back, but i’m not holding my breath

hmm.

if the US gets pulled into this, morale is gonna be so fucking bad lmfao. gonna make ‘Nam look like a tea party
