I was trying to draw a comparison to how the KPD formed in the first place. they were a group within the spd who were horrified at their colleagues voting in support of a brutal imperialist war and left (or rather were kicked out) of the party. Imo there has to be a moral line somewhere after which you refuse to vote for or even be in government with someone.

And it is not just the uk’s system of elections, as I mentioned this pattern happens across all of Europe and the United States, which leads me to also believe it’s an inherent feature of “liberal” bourgeois democracy and the kpd were right to roll the dice and try to fight it through non electoral means.

Same but for my mom

well, sometimes people on the internet are women or gay. Also, I don’t think that’s true, Russian internet culture is just really misogynistic (more overtly than the “western” internet) so women sometimes use male pronouns. I’m Russian too and know a few women who do this.

Assuming everyone is male is actually part of the misogyny, please try not to do that

I mean, we’re seeing the same thing (sans the communist orgs) play out in real time across Europe now. In Britain, labor purges Jeremy corbyn and his ilk, then gets elected with a solid mandate, then promises to gut the NHS and promotes transphobic policies (for no material benefit) in the name of coalition building anyway.

What distinguishes these “bipartisan” labourists and their american equivalents from the Tories except different colored hats? Would you also blame corbyn for running against these people?

did you just assume my gender partner preference

jk jk, tho I do have medical (mental) problems which make me more or less completely unwilling to engage in those sorts of things with anyone

How can a man with over 10 children be more of an incel than me a literal involuntary celibate

I thought Americans (at least the ones who watch MSNBC) all agreed he voted in the 2016 election

To be fair it’s not a mysterious “they”, it’s just an option available for channel owners to set alternative thumbnails and then check which does better. I don’t think YouTube does this by itself if the uploader doesn’t enable it

There’s a long tail of servers/bartenders who are against this as well because they work at expensive establishments and make bank off tips. Like high double digits an hour.

If the push to convert tips into wages ever becomes serious, conservative media will do its best to platform and promote these servers who stand to lose income off it. We gotta think of a rhetoric/messaging strategy to counter that.

This + MDMA in the water supply

Well at least we made the shareholders of some military contractors richer that’s gotta count for something

At what point does Biden send in the national guard to liberate these poor people from dictatorship? He’s legally allowed to do it now right?

Russia’s decision to abstain in that vote happened under the notoriously “liberal” Medvedev and was a point of heated disagreement between him and Putin. It was arguably the breaking point for Putin deciding he needed to hold onto power indefinitely or else (in his view) a liberal president would let NATO do whatever they want, with Russia presumably being next on the chopping block

Are you referring to the intervention in Libya? The one that happened in 2011?

this is an ancient and noble practice known as shitposting, no need to call it something else :)

imo redditors and 4channers think too highly of themselves if they believe they have real influence on elections. Most people aren’t online (except for Facebook), and politics are much more readily explained by material causes such as the Dems fcking up the post 2008 economic recovery and going for austerity instead of investment. The biggest proximate cause (non-material/economic) is just that hilldawg ran a bad campaign that didn’t focus enough on swing states (but she won the popular vote, congratulations).

They give you two types of machines for free. One is x86 (AMD) based with a 2ghz cpu and 1gb ram. The beefier machine (the one with 24gb ram) is ARM based. Besides hardware, the main benefit for me over google is the traffic limit, 10tb per month instead of 1gb per day.

Question from a late millennial, how real/popular were those Elsa spiderman YouTube brainrot videos that were a mini moral panic a few years back? I was never sure how much of it was consumed by bots as opposed to real children

Am I missing something? I thought you weren’t required to put a return address on postcards. Just put your username and email.
