How Vaush fans sleep at night:

Develop better situational awareness and remember there are regular, moral-minded people on this site. That is all.

You have very little connection to the post’s actual subject. No one wants/needs to read this under a nice story about baseball, ffs. AFAIK nothing about the post is meant to prove a point. Some people dont have their trauma/threat receptors completely blown out from years of desensitization, so you can imagine why following this wholesome story up w/ “Mmm statistikully speaking, methinks she’s lucky not to be molested. Checkmate libs 😏” would be… jarring.

This is why women dont come to you when harassment happens. You see a girl in a news story and immediately think of the possibility of her being r-ped. You’d absolutely have a different line prepared if the subject was a Japanese male

OBSERVE: This is how thee average Nelson Mandela hater spends his precious free time. Making questionable memes about CP with a deadeyed stare, assuming his krakker farmland is safe because he hasn’t heard knocking yet

Americans and Brits would only do it if they knew in advance that it’d be televised, tbh. And they’d all be smiling like they’re in on something

…

Was this thought up and typed and by a human?

How do you enter a normal, mostly innocent thread, see this, and go on with your day? What primordial minded toddler thinks this is insightful?

…And im alternating between drafting a webcomic, worldbuilding for a personal project, daily lifting, and studying for upcoming CompSci classes. Volunteered at a soup kitchen yesterday. Still have time to Post. Surely you’ve got something to do.

Because you walk into threads about issues you barely understand and say stupid shit. If you were less ignorant maybe you’d get the convos about backyard farming and cats

That’s mostly what we’re doing, tbf

Say it with me now

No investigation…

Google “line breaks”. Google “paragraphs”. Thank me later

They really cant explain it. For all the salt and effort, they still can never explain what exactly they want that’s so much more “leftist” than us.

A good example of western socialism is the “Fuck Cars” movement

What kind of revolutionary left do you want? Regardless, wanting to hard-reboot an existing radical movement over its perceived “failure” - while it’s still gaining traction - is what Trotsky did, and it just threw a wrench into things.

And not to be that guy, but the negativity isn’t doing you favors. I made an effort to be reasonable and objective (except the Modern Trotskyites bit, since they honestly feel too sus and self-destructive to take seriously). If you’re feeling threatened by that, idk what to tell you. This is just what we believe. No one pays us for it.

Why would you defend a guy who ordered deaths alongside Lenin then immediately left and cozied up to 1920s American fascism to make books about “The Betrayed Revolution” because he didnt get his share?

Trotsky was a socialist. After his defection, he did next to nothing to advance socialism, only to passively denounce the closest thing the world had then to a Socialist Order. And he did this by going to their enemies, objectively the least socialist-tolerant bloc on Earth. Archetypal example of a self-centered “leftist” who folds inward and exclusively talks about their own life/‘persecution’ after one falling-out with the organized left. Look at Trotskyists nowadays and tell me they aren’t walking parodies who talk like Broadway characters. It says a lot abt how off-kilter you have to be to throw yourself behind Trotsky’s weirdo ‘cause’

EDIT: To be clear, while I havent seen much of his work, I respect parts of his legacy. I’m sure there’s a lot of insight in his writing - reading criticism from a seasoned former Bolshevik is interesting, and the perspective is useful for making sense of the wider movement. I also understand he was under a lot of personal pressure at the time he fled the USSR. Despite any merit Stalin showed in WW2 or the Union’s massive industrialization effort, it must’ve seemed unfair to many party members that he was chosen to succeed Lenin (not sure of specifics on that event). I’d even say his assassination wasn’t necessary, and the graphic details aren’t something I take pride in. However, at the end of the day Trotsky’s decision to defect was a net negative for socialism in the early 20th century. He should’ve tried to be a different kind of conscientious objector, not a voice of anti-Soviet dissent.

Could you show this meme to any of your friends or family and succesfully explain a) why it’s funny and b) who it’s for ?

Slow down there buddy

Cops in America are criminals. America still existing in the 21st century is a human rights violation.
