It’s far more complicated than a simple meme can convey.

But, ML’s typically believe a vanguard party will seize the state on behalf of the proletariat and usher in a socialist state that will take an undetermined amount of time to transition into a communist state-less society.

When the CCP is doing the same thing to Uyghur Muslims that Israel is doing to Gazans, which is to violate the rights and freedoms of people who do not perfectly align with their ideology, they exhibit cognitive dissonance. I’m an anarchist and know very well how Marxist-Leninists feel about us. We’ve been betrayed in Catalonia, Ukraine, and Kronstadt. We are fundamentally opposed to any kind of authoritarian rule and they kind of need that rule to begin their socio-political experiment.

Probably won’t be a popular opinion but It’s Always Sunny was one of my all-time favorite shows and, I don’t know, after about season 10 or 11, it started to feel less funny. It still has some amazing recent episodes but the earlier seasons were perfect.

What if the balloons were long and vertical like the ones in Dune? That could allow them to walk closer to one another.

Yea, just like they oppose Gaza and support Israel’s apartheid

Barely even that. Someone who likes marijuana is more likely.

I’m extremely anti-credit. But, there are things that require you have some kind of credit score— like renting an apartment. When I was in Los Angeles, I was actually rejected from signing a lease because I had no credit. Not bad credit. None at all, which they said was actually worse, somehow.

Just yesterday, I read a comment that literally said Greenland doesn’t have to worry about Russia because America was the bigger threat.

Like, yall realize Russian agents have infiltrated the US government and manipulated its election results, right?

Sure, but that was before almost every app was a Nazi app.

You are attempting to conflate fascist leaders with the citizens that they rule over. Doesn’t make much sense. Do you believe 380 million people all think the same? Do you think we’re all equally represented by the current fascist regime?

and removing rights and dignity for its own citizens

Yeah, shitty rhetoric. What our “leaders” do and what the people do are mutually exclusive. You’re still not addressing the fact that Americans have a strong history of rebellion and protest that is going to look different than the highly homogenized and concentrated countries in Europe.
