How to evaluate a source sounds like a useful one to share with libs I’m trying to educate.

It’s a way for people in the west to maintain their defense of the status quo and western chauvinism while still pretending to oppose capitalism.

It’s kind of strange how little effort they put into it. They make a new account, make a bunch of very fucked up coms, and then they start being racist and homophobic. Every time, like clockwork. I don’t know what they’re hoping to achieve from this? It takes maybe 5 minutes out of the admin’s day to delete all their garbage, so they’re not wasting anyone’s time but their own.

People voted to not starve and evil Mao said no.

Pfft! Any country would’ve had that happen! In fact, if they got rid of the communism, life expectancy would’ve increased even more! Just look at the former Soviet countries, I haven’t, but I’m sure they were doing much better after communism!

Oh true, they’re probably at least 12 months away from doing that.

I think they might be at “scraping the barrel” at this point.

They look like the sort of thing I will eat an entire packet of when I’m full of despair, so probably.

In my experience, they tend to consider Cuba a “Soviet sugar plantation” or some such. Because they have 0 interest in understanding material conditions they believe that Cuba should not have traded with the USSR and should’ve focused entirely on being a completely self-sufficient agrarian idyll or something. They give their usual cries of “revisionism” with regards to Cuba because again, the concept of a country needing to adapt to changing material conditions is one they refuse to consider. They also tend to dislike the DPRK for “revisionism” as well, usually because Juche isn’t enough like their special little anarcho-maoist-hoxhaist idealism.

“She can’t control the weather!” or “Trump’s response would be even worse!”

Take your pick.

And when they try to go off script literally all they have is “no u!”

I wish they could understand just how pathetic they are, bootlicking for imperialism. But a smug lack of self-awareness is a key component of liberalism.

Yeah, seems like they gave up on supporting me/archiving my work around the time I was having a lot of mental health issues a couple of years ago. Makes sense I guess. A lot of people stopped supporting me back then.

Oh shit! My patreon’s on there. It’s real old stuff though. Not sure if I should be relieved or sad that they seemed to have given up on archiving it years ago.

Yeah, a part of his trip was probably spent looking at housing in his price range in Florida.

It amazes me how we will literally call out liberal behaviour before it happens, and yet they just repeat exactly what we said they would. It’s like they have 0 self-awareness and are just capable of spouting the same half dozen thought terminating cliches over and over again.

Western communists have this weird obsession with purity. You must be the Perfect Communist at all times, or else you aren’t a real communist. Org work is still “work” and we can get burnt out, or not have the energy, or have other things going on in our lives.

We all have different limits and struggles. Someone failing to understand the most basic core concept of community outreach is the one failing to be a “real life communist” not someone who needs a break. You’re not the PLA on the Long March, you can take time to deal with your own mental and physical health.

That’s what AI replaced. They don’t need to pay a contractor 0.0012 cents per page if they can get an AI to do it for free!

Of course they have! Just look at how the election is shaping up! Incredibly unpopular candidates and policies! Not to mention all the corruption in the system! As we all know, America was a perfect paradise before Putin started interfering in US elections, which turned the candidates into unlikable corrupt ghouls!

They always sooner or later let slip that they think about this conflict the same way a Brit did about the Zulu wars a century and a half ago. It’s always “civilisation vs the savages” to them.
