I feel like Casandra. Very gender affirming.
Nah this is so tongue in cheek
They love this garbage
If you structured society around who owns the most beanis and allow those with lots of beanis to ignore the rules then you don’t have rules for society you have a caste system with extra steps
“You’re such a Cassandra”
Hey now give us principled anarchists some credit
Of course! “tankie” has come to mean anyone who is anti imperialist, or basically anyone who isn’t credulous enough to believe the US state dept and military.
Do you support Ukraine? If your answer is no, believe it or not, tankie
I support the workers. I do not distinguish between borders. As long as they are not reactionary I support them. What is happening is a tragedy and the pragmatic approach is that the “harm reduction” stance is hastening the seemingly inevitable Russian victory. I just want to see it end and I would rather the side that intervened on behalf of people undergoing pogroms from groups like Azov and other fascists supported by the CIA prevail over the alternative.
Like I said: Principled. I don’t care if Putin or the RF have altruistic motives, but I know why this all is happening and how best it can be resolved with minimal bloodshed going forward.

Have you considered that Putin is like Voldemort and Zelenskyy is like Harry Potter?
I don’t trust the seriousness of that comment, honestly. It comes off as very snarky, which would be in line with liberal behavior.
eh the wave of leftist discourse that broke into popularity we’re currently still riding started as irony posting
I don’t think that happens here, because ideological neo liberalism is a hell of a stance to have, but snarky irony poisoned stuff used to be our bread and butter too
What’s crazy is if they looked at an American text book, they’d We’ve been through this
Took them 300 years to find out that capitalism leads to the most obvious conclusion of capitalism. Hey, at least they tried.
The owl of minerva takes flight at night… Or in liberals case 300 years later.
Seems a lot of them are having come to Jesus moments(CW: r/neoliberal)
dont forget people taunting them with comments such as "“haha enjoy Gaza getting glassed losers”. You lose credibility when you threaten something and not only does it not happen but the reverse of it happens first week on the job.
Fuck this thread is great lol
This is the Wapo story referenced in the thread: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/01/15/trump-biden-credit-israel-hamas-ceasefire/
A diplomat briefed on the negotiations said Hamas’s diminished position aided negotiations, in addition to Trump’s influence, saying this was “the first time there has been real pressure on the Israeli side to accept a deal.” The diplomat, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss closed-door talks, said the contours of the agreement suggest that Israeli negotiators offered concessions on issues that had previously impeded a breakthrough.
But a senior Biden administration official contested the idea that Trump’s Inauguration Day ultimatum secured a conclusion to talks. The official said that while deadlines can be helpful, the “catalyst” for success was the defeat of Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militia; a ceasefire deal in Lebanon; and Hamas’s “massive isolation.”
It’s unclear what the “pressure” was from the Trump camp to get it done. Time will tell I guess.

Where did that bring you?..
Wait, even on r/neoliberal?! Amazing things are happening
That was on r/destiny. So it’s even more amazing.
Wait, what?! That’s genuinely astonishing
Amazing things really are happening apparently.
Back when the George Floyd protests were at their peak it was quite clear we had failed on the left to organize enough both from an anarchist or vanguard perspective.
The contradictions are continuing to sharpen and we MUST be better prepared for the next flashpoint.
100%, if we fail to learn from the past and sieze opportunity then we are failures as leftists.
I’m never quite sure how many layers of irony they’re on
All our worst enemies are in one place.
This is a simple observation, nothing more.
I love how that comment is obviously meant to be a joke but it’s just the truth
(except the “it’s been pretty good” part; the only “good” part about it has been its use in overthrowing feudalism)
Arguably the peasants had a better quality of life under feudalism with more time off from work than modern day workers. And the lords knew they had to provide for the peasants or they’d be outnumbered.

“It has been said that terror is the principle of despotic government. Does your government therefore resemble despotism? Yes, as the sword that gleams in the hands of the heroes of liberty resembles that with which the henchmen of tyranny are armed. Let the despot govern by terror his brutalized subjects; he is right, as a despot. Subdue by terror the enemies of liberty, and you will be right, as founders of the Republic. The government of the revolution is liberty’s despotism against tyranny.”
What is that from?

I hope my self satisfaction takes the edge off when Amerikkka finally collapses
That 300 years part is the most fucked thing of it all. They are literally including genocide and slavery as “pretty good”.
Not to mention rich capitalist barons being tightly involved in government has already been happening the whole time. There’s no new behaviour here.
But slavery and genocides have been decreasing over time due to capitalism!
What do you mean captialism fixed those minute issues?
No it didn’t. And are you calling those issues “minute”? Please elaborate.
Lemister’s being sarcastic.
Can never be sure these days. I literally had to remove a post from a long time user just yesterday that basically was saying the same exact thing.
20·5 hours agoI once again ask people to use tone tags.
I only learned that those exist yesterday and I still don’t know how they work
Here is a website that seems fine at explaining it: https://tonetaglist.carrd.co/
The basic is just that you add something to signify how the comment is to be read, it doesn’t have to be like “/s”, it can also be [sarcasm] like RedWizard did.
Uncritical support for tone tags [serious].
Seriously.
Even worse, that comment was probably meant as a joke.
but liberal
