Couple considerations: what is a nation to do when it constantly is on the verge of civil war, hasnt had breathing room to get its feet under it after a political revolution and is beset by brand new, world power level enemies doing everything they can to make sure your new nation fails?

Followup: when has this not been the case for a new communist nation? How many coups has the US backed? How many times did we try to assassinate Castro? Vietnam?

Finally: what does it look like when none of the above is true?

We tend to think of nations in a vacuum, but they exist along side each other and they have people like us inside them. Stupid, greedy, lying, shitbags that are full of empathy, love and curiousity, just like us. That makes them messy by definition, but its easy to forget.

You’ve got it, really. The difference between stalin and hitler is largely one of rhetoric. There’s definitely political differences, but gulaging that many people, in the name of “saving up for the house” of no more oppression… Both used a political system that had nothing to do with authoritarianism and perverted it to their own ends. Both called it socialism, both lied.

No

Thats what the dutch east India company wants you to think

The questions still valid… Why would I simply be aware what year I was born in under the Chinese zodiac so that I could get a new SS card. You are missing the forest for the trees.

Seriously, why are we wasting time pitying celebrities who used their fame in stupid ways, like going on a slur ridden tirade at for audience

Brb getting a job as a greeter to see how lo g it takes to get fired for saying “gas the nigs”

That’s ridiculous.

Use the right tool for the job. If you can’t figure out what the right tool is, you are the wrong tool.

I’m not sure how to interpret “liegal”

Is that a typo of legal or illegal?

Survivalist militias are, and guess who already has a history of going too far…

Hard disagree.Plex inserts itself I to everything, and dear god is it slow by comparison.

I mean, the people of a bloodline are literal descendents of a specific person, while a family tree shows people who marry in as well.

The fact that you dont place value on knowing exactly how generically related you are to the person you wanna bang is fine, but to say its “made up” is stupid. Its made up in exactly the same way every part of human culture is made up.

Assuming something malicious is happening because a language is used when its not yours sounds exactly like xenophobia

Didn’t even notice the word the first time around, and before I read your replying assumed it was a portmanteau of medication and predicament. French could work. Dunno why the loan word though.

Entirely reasonable, and likely successful. There are however a bunch of weirdos here, and a bunch of people that won’t understand the reference cause they do t remember the guy. No seriously, we grew up with him, but that was ages ago for the young’uns these days.

The national kind, yeah. Common knowledge. See above statement about how awful he was.

I am aware you’re specifically referring to rush’s specifically anti-socialist dint. But by suggesting he was a fan of socialism, you’re committing to the same fallacy as he tended to, where he would equate socialists (from USSR so obviously they are mega socialist, and fans of the purges, read authortarians) with actual socialist ideology.

The grand irony of rush is that his solution to authoritarianism was authoritarianism.

Is it weird that I used to think the reverse? Alfie was Lily’s brother, and a nepo baby. I be damned if he didn’t earn it though. Also, my first thought was the woman who played “Asha” was not Lily Allen.

Goodwill exists to make rich people richer. The disabled people they “exist to give jobs too” are super exploited.

Papa is father for a lot of folks.

Paw paw kn the other hand…
