  • This is a ridiculous quote but probably only to us. This is the ideology I was taught. We learned all about colonialism and its horrors in school, but the conclusion was never that colonialism was bad. The conclusion the kids reached based off the information provided, the take away the teachers wanted to leave, and of course our governments position boils down to - ‘it sucked, but we wouldn’t have our great amazing world now without it :^)’







  • why are the cons resorting to the comrade harris thing, more than any other democrat I can remember they are leaning on this weird marxist angle where they make shit post tier commie posters of kamala

    this is going to be laughable on the face of it to any center leftie and the further left you go the more you’re just creating a subconscious connection between kamala and communism that might even rouse a communist to give a shit just for the sick prop posters alone

    I guess it’s just for the cons to share and updoot each other








  • That’s sad, man. He is so confident that everyone else shares his innate incuriosity towards one of the most ancient and prevalent forms of art/expression that humanity knows. Because he’s so incurious and ambivalent towards reading he geniuenly doesn’t understand the unique benefits of sitting down and directly engaging with something in a purely cognitive way. He thinks everyone is like him and, funnily enough, reading a bunch of non-fiction is the best way to get yourself out of that headspace.

    As an aside, and not breaking new ground here: this guy is intolerable to listen to? he has a really arrogant/smug personality that he can’t stop from shining through. He has terrible camera presence and I think he’s kind of embarrassing to listen to. How does he have a fan base?







  • anarchism is a handy tool for radicalization. lots of people get attracted to the cool aesthetics of anarchism and that feeling of intellectual superiority you get when you can recite some obscure untested and unfounded political theory

    so it’s ineffective outside of the individual’s ego but it does position them firmly against capital and modern statehood. if you sit in that long enough you start to build genuine hatred for the status quo. genuine hatred leads to genuine curiosity which leads to actually reading theory and uncovering the utterly absurd idealism of anarchist theory

    this isn’t like a codified pipeline and anarchist theory still poisons the well of a lot of western leftist discussion, but most commies I know in real life had personal brushes with anarchism in their past. and if all else fails they’re still useful idiots when things get spicy. that whole ‘you’re alright now, it’s after the revolution we’ll have problems’ meme.
