  If you’re talking about YouTube, that place is already hell for video creators. Many organizations, like PragerU, were already funded by fracking companies to make their videos, and they’d have an easier time covering the costs, or convincing people or the government that something else caused the cancer. The internet needs a socialist overhaul, really, and I can’t find anything else that doesn’t spawn new problems.

  I should’ve been on here instead. I legitimately thought that Anarchists, Communists, &c could make a difference being on there. Now I get people deliberately blocking accounts that aren’t even fascist, and being concerned with “bullying” instead of actually solving real problems. BSky has upper-class liberals talking about D&D, whining about how laws aren’t being followed correctly, cheerleading American imperialism, making unfunny jokes, and claiming that radical politics came from 4chan rather than legitimate political grieviances. All sorts of suburban slime. I really should’ve been elsewhere.

  Back when asbestos was banned, everyone trusted the government. Nobody trusts the government anymore because of its constant foreign wars, corrupt candidates, and human rights abuses. We cannot do things like mandate vaccines and ban cars if the very government that would enforce that ban is this tyrannical and shitty.

  Trick her into giving you all her money. This seems like prime scam real estate. Get some olive oil, jack up the price, and tell her you’re selling “essential oils”. Or scare her by making her believe you’re God incarnate. Or kill her and take her wallet lmao

  I thought that the Grandma Blobfish quest from Half-Genie Hero would age badly, but I didn’t know how badly

  Terraria

  They include the phrase being directed at them within schools or chanted by young boys in classes.

  Young boys are following the misogynist Pied Piper and all the parents are just letting it happen. FFS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has Critical Theory actually achieved?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for answering. The question was in such a primordial state that I had to post it here, since I couldn’t find many of the words. I have now seen that some branches of Critical Theory have been used to design a theoretical deliberative democracy that could be used someday, and not have as many problems as today. There is also work by very new authors to use Critical Theory to answer “What is to be done?”, which I wondered was possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has Critical Theory actually achieved?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, has it solved global conflicts? Has any president or other great leader been influenced by Critical Theory? Has there been a successful government program or popular revolution based on Critical Theory? Has Critical Theory solved problems of hunger, or any resource shortage? Has Critical Theory made laws easier to understand and more fair? Things like that. I keep hearing about it, and altho some right-wingers say it’s evil, other people have more confusing answers. I’m a more classical Marxist, and I’ve read through some of it, but I can’t understand if it would help the proletariat towards revolution, or just well-being in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has Critical Theory actually achieved?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bitch, words have wildly varying meanings. What does “embolden” mean here? What does “communication” mean here? Is this a religious thing? The transcription process of DNA can be described, as can the movement of planets, and what causes fire to burn and extinguish, but for some reason this is too esoteric for me to understand because of “the system”. What is this “system”? What isn’t this “system”? Is this the Anything-But-Class theorizing that Parenti was talking about?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What has Critical Theory actually achieved?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How? I’ve read a bit about it, but I’m not exactly sure what you’re describing.

  The joke is that anti-feminists usually end up being overweight pedophiles and Nazis. I thought the community was for jokes; is there some hidden rule that wasn’t shown?

  Immeasurably great reporting. This was painful to yet, but a blessing to know.
