getting mad if it has even the slightest bit of liberalism or yankee propaganda

Unless you have lots of communist media to enjoy, you might want to save your anger for the things that matter more, because there’s way too much media that is excessive in the liberalism, let alone slightest bit

you have to get boosters to be fully covered for variant strains.

Speaking of boosters, friendly reminder that at least in the US, 2024 updated Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been out for a few weeks. If you haven’t already, look into getting your updated booster soon :)

No, Vegeta is clearly the one on the left

Could you provide a source for that claim?

SadArtemis already expanded on this well. Certainly Greco-Roman societies were well aware of Africa, even if not the extent of it. You might find Wikipedia’s early world maps page a good starting point.

“Third world” is Cold War framing, pitting the capitalist U.S. and allied countries (first world) against the USSR and allied countries (second world). The Third World referred to nonaligned Global South countries, which tended to be too crushed by the ongoing first world colonialism.

Denigrating the U.S. with implicit denigration to colonized countries based on its own colonialism feels a little off to us.

That doesn’t make it not ironic though, given the USA was founded on slavery

NYT also claims:

In a May 2020 post, he invited Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, to Hawaii for a vacation and offered to act as “ambassador and liaison” to resolve disputes between the two nations.

I understand why you might say that but I don’t think delineating between “socialism” = attempting to achieve communism the ideal and “communism” = the ideal is always a meaningful or necessary distinction.

I don’t think anyone here would have a problem if it said “(Bothering to even attempt reaching) communism doesn’t work” but that kind of thing just leads to leftist memes becoming unnecessarily long. I think all of us here know what the intent is, and that is to critique propaganda by capitalist states that AES or any movement outside capitalism towards something better is futile, when the reality is that they are doing everything they can, including that messaging itself, to supress it.

I don’t personally think there’s much value in doing the liberal word game thing about socialism and communism, especially when it’s obvious what is being referred to.

We could play that game that there’s only a capitalist mode of production and not such a thing as capitalism or that “true capitalism” has never been tried, but that would be ridiculous.

It’s worth pointing out explicitly that there’s no option that runs like:

1. Establish fully automated luxury gay space communism
2. ???
3. Profit

The anarchists talk about abolishing the state and hierarchies, but the theory isn’t very helpful if you don’t have a mechanism.

Evil genie: Granted. Capitalism never existed because society has remained in feudalism to this day.

The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.

It was just states being immigration friendly, so actually they were leftist cosmopolitans.

As a reminder of how long that is, the time between the October Revolution and dissolution of the USSR was just over 74 years

The reform faced a rare and stinging critique from US Ambassador Ken Salazar in Mexico City, in which he called the election of judges “a major risk to the functioning of Mexico’s democracy.”

CNN is so reich-wing now that they think that’s a “stinging critique”

Guys I swear it’s not slavery

If a user from the appropriate instance already commented, you can use the Fediverse button to see it from their instance.

It’s pretty easy to go to the community or search for the post on the other instance though

New emote just dropped

Yeah, and it’s worth pointing out the Emancipation Proclamation was merely a statement that the fugitive slave acts didn’t apply to areas de facto outside US jurisdiction

I think so but the outcome of the Seven Years’ War treaties was to allocate that land for indigenous use:

(Note that if it had been less expensive to keep a military presence there, the British would have been as eager as the Americans to keep genociding in that region as well)
