This begs the question of just who you think is being hurt.

Man I wish we had communism on our shores.

Modlog says the reason was “spammer” without any other info. They made 2 other threads elsewhere talking about or advertising a game they made, which were deleted, likely by the same mod who just banned them.

flag these stories as falsified anecdotes by propagandists.

There’s only one user in this thread insinuating the sort.

I don’t know if it’s specifically from the Ms Rachel show, but the clip is from when she and Zohran met up and sang to kids in a New York elementary school around his inauguration.

In America, liberalism is called leftism, leftism is called fascism, and fascism is called bipartisan common-sense politics.

The nuances between Social democracy and Democratic socialism never stands a chance in public discourse.

I actually think it’s the opposite that’s needed. An anonymized shitposting tier of fediverse interaction ala the chan imageboards.

There’s so many meme shitposting communities that there could just be dedicated and anonymized band of federation that is specialized to deal only in memes.

Hangover + cicadas = nefarious communist plot and wunderwaffe

Havana syndrome? Eh it’s not worth looking into.

That’s reserved for CIA operatives willing and able to convert the guilt of their actions into projection of an imagined enemy.

Basketball diplomacy in another form.

no public opposition

If you go online and insult the Epstein class you’ll likely get hatemail about how you’re not being fair. The opposition is very private and individualized.

Odd number for the list, okay. Not 12 more? One less? Not any other number?

The policies that Platner is backing sure aren’t scrutinized for the topic of discussion, that’s for sure.

For every post and comment where China and the United States comes up there’s at least another companion post and comments talking about it. Just like this thread.

There’s about a dozen users who have been arguing with each other for about three years now. Discourse simply cannot be neutral about this dynamic with how they approach the topic.

And just an FYI; Some of the same folks will also crashout if you oppose Zionism, or insult the Epstein class.

…no.

I can see that interpretation, since he IS a small business owner of an oyster farm.

Having been a shellfish farmer myself, but on the west coast, my perspective is that it’s closer to tenant farming than being petit bourgeoisie. The self employed and small growers all had to rent tideflats to work.

But yes, ultimately it is the same function since some other owners as I remember absolutely were just seeking to separate themselves from labor.

It really kind of is. The bar is so low.

But without disputing who he is: his net worth is around the same (Stated as under $165k) as the median American ($125k). He’s categorically not a part of the wealth class, and he at least seems to know it.

That kind of class consciousness on the American national stage from a white man veteran? I think that’s relatable to a giant swath of otherwise apolitical or even chuddy Americans.

If he can stick to his principles on policy in Congress and even just be the new Bernie, he’s going to resonate strongly with the post-9/11 military community. If that faction can even so much as look at the left outside their crosshairs, it’ll be a significant shift.

He’s worth the shot in Maine, I think.

Impenetrable. Perfection.

There’s no Cuomo or Adams left to stay in the race. It is just Platner and Collins now. So unless you’re down with more Collins, it’s Platner for Mainers.

Kavernacle and Bad Empanada seem to be fully on the internet clout train.

Allergic to the idea that leftism, or even antizionism, can win.
