Now that’s the kind of oddly specific content I come here for

Nolanization is underselling it, that was a Snyder movie who’s so much worse.

It really goes to show that all Alexander “the great” did was copy an already existing empire. The fact that the Greeks are the founders of “Western culture” while the Persians are ignored can only be the result of racism

Yeah because it kills your soul and is 100% “against human nature”. It makes sense to have problems putting it in practice when every fiber of your being wants to be a good person and talk to people in real and meaningful ways

Or, hear me out here, the plane changes pilots all the time and you’re completely replaceable mr. adam

ALWAYS lie. Always pretend you’re 100% committed until you’re certain you’re not doing it. Honesty has no place in business unless you can use it as leverage

It’s great for Lockheed Martin

Proportional to how much they cost. Truly free festivals have rad lib energy

Yeah I’m not talking about my job offer here, I’m just curious if IAO counts as bastards

That’s true. I can police the police. That’s good, right? On that note, are internal affairs officers bastards?

Eighth-assed is my middle name

I’m bad at treating people poorly but I’m really good at being sloppy

Oh no the cat’s never wrong

Oof yeah that’s a tough one. She should have reached out before going, they might have even been cool with it if she asked first

I did not expect Kamala to run to the right of Biden. I had zero expectations and I’m still let down

It depends on the context. If you’re making the claim the way Warren did, to receive some sort of advantage with grants or jobs or anything, or to claim some sort of authority on native culture, that’s pretty scummy. But just casually mentioning it is fine, some people are legitimately 1/16th Sioux. Maybe a little less sus to phrase it as “my grandma’s grandpa was Sioux” but whatever

God I hate living in Wisconsin. If only I were in a solid red or blue state, I would vote PSL without a second thought. But goddamn after Scott Walker I just have such a visceral hatred of the Republican party, I want them to lose so dang bad at every level fuck those union busting assholes. I need to find a dozen libs in California and convince them to do a vote swap with me.

Write in Joe Biden, anything else is a vote for Trump

Right, but the movements and organizations capable of fixing anything don’t really exist yet, so organizing outside of electoralism requires a level of faith in “the party that is to come”, which is hard for most people (even well-read Marxists!)

The only thing keeping me going is my experience dealing with exponential growth. The movements that do exist might not seem to be growing fast enough, but I know that at a critical moment the exponential growth will pay off, and they will rapidly begin to meet the scale of the problem. But most people looking at socialist and working class movements in the US right now might conclude that it’s hopeless, and that trying to create anything new will take too long.

Also, the fact that there’s no actual left party with any sort of popular base makes it hard to avoid the gravitational pull of the most “left” party allowed to us by capital. People want to support an actual organization without doing third party crank shit, it’s a hard position
