If anyone’s curious what arguments there might be against spelling reform. I would lament the erasure of orthographic etymological cues.

These taglines are deeply unserious.

Yup. This is a dialectical concept that Marx & Engels incorporated into dialectical materialism: Transformation of quantity into quality and vice versa

All change has a quantitative aspect, that is, an aspect of mere increase or decrease which does not alter the nature of that which changes. But quantitative change, increase or decrease, cannot go on indefinitely. At a certain point it always leads to a qualitative change; and at that critical point, the qualitative change takes place relatively suddenly.

I mean that some struggle sessions are elucidating at just the right inflection point.

He didn’t come to a realization, he only flirted with it. Do we need a SelfAwarewolves comm?

This is the way.

I don’t know what’s up in Barcelona these days, but in ~2000 you’d see squatter buildings with anarchist banners.

Maybe things aren’t what they used to be. Police evict squatters in Barcelona after hours of tension

My obama-medal response to this weapons-grade gish gallop:


Tiananmen square massacre


their genocide of the Uighur people

This bullshit never ends, does it?


their oppression of Hong Kong

Hong Kong was the product of the UK’s century of Chinese oppression, and their 99 year lease on oppressing Hong Kong ended in 1997.


steal Taiwan’s sovereignty

Taiwan is only considered sovereign by eleven countries, most of which are micronations like the Holy See, the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_status_of_Taiwan


was a bigger crime

 

Maybe someone you know needs to know this.

It's much easier than the Pentagon wants you to think. Whether you're in the military or know someone who is, this is the definitive guide to walking away. And as Biden's support for genocide spins out into new US wars across the Middle East, from the Red Sea to Iraq, now would be a good time to walk away.

When I was still somewhat liberal I was active on MetaFilter. The community was groundbreaking in the realm of well-moderated social media networks. For years now they’ve even been paying the moderators for their labor. But over the last several years I less & less could stomach how LIB the community is. About a year ago I had enough when a prominent poster said they fucking hate nazis and tankies more than neoliberals. They subscribe to Uyghur genocide propaganda without question. Standard imperial core lib shit.

 

TL;DR: It’s good for:

  • Questioning religion
  • Coining concepts
  • A jobs program for failed writers and mathematicians/scientists
