They just hit you back with some self-deprecating cuck joke or worse they shrug their chud shoulders and say something about planned parenthood

Yay. Shame about that price though.

He also constantly accused Kamala and other democrats of supporting genocide and never told anyone to vote for her.

Hasan is both a DSA shill, and also part of the reason the Democrats lost the election, owing to his criticisms of Kamala.

I’m too old for streamers, I really don’t have a horse in this race, but it’s not lost on me that Hasan has actual, monied interests propagandizing against him. That’s the only way you get silly narratives that appeal to ‘both sides’ like this.

The little input I can give on this subject is that Hasan’s anti-fandom seems entirely sure that Hasan flips according to his audience, whereas Hasan’s fandom is certain his audience is constantly being educated and enlightened by Hasan’s takes. As with most things, overly positive and overly negative feelings towards Hasan are parasocial and we should only be analyzing his individual actions and their impact.

I think about this a lot. I genuinely think this is a really important question for the future. I’m not sure if we can reclaim the hammer and sickle in the eyes of the masses but the idea it represents of the two largest labor forces joining together will forever be important.

Most reasons for suicide are as political as any other.

we obviously get the bit but it can’t be stressed enough that marxism is about changing the world for the better, and communism is an ideology of improvement and self-determination. murdering civilians is not what any of us want

Would a sufficiently developed socialist government see this as desirable? Would pre-Adpocalypse youtube ‘gel’ well next to the socialist government’s social media, or online banking infrastructure? & is there anything actually all that vital about the content/culture produced around this time?

I don’t think it’s possible to rewild the internet. Part of what made the early internet as it was, was the novelty of the technology. It was new to everyone as well as being largely unregulated, no one knew what it could do and everything was an experiment.

Now people have much different expectations, the internet is infrastructure and the services it can potentially offer are unrivaled. There is merit to a wild west free-for-all and we’ve seen the good and bad that produces. What many would argue today (imo) is that there’s infinitely more merit to having governmental services accessible from anywhere, from having moderated & reasoned discussion areas, and to have any and all bad actors suppressed in the ‘digital town hall’ we all love hanging out in.

The report added that executions will be carried out by hanging, with three guards pressing the trigger simultaneously.

Specialist teams, composed entirely of volunteers, will be assigned to the task.

Grim. We’re extremely deep in this genocide, and no one is poised to stop it.

Stop crowding into the most corporate platforms which inevitably enshittify.

If they can survive the soviet collapse surely they can survive Trumpism, but this is entirely a cope on my behalf. If I were a religious man I’d be praying for the nation.

The scale of what they’ve built in under 2 years is boggling my mind a little bit. I’m so used to how long construction takes in the west that I can’t imagine seeing that pop up that quickly.

For reference, there are still some areas affected by the 2009 bushfires in my state, that are still being rebuilt today. Mostly these are neighborhoods and national parks.

I enjoy a bit of anarchist dunking but at the end of the day I see us as allies against a very imposing enemy so, personally, am not very interested in contesting anarchist theory. I will say though that your characterization of a largely ML community as accepting media narratives is probably the least charitable way you could have approached this disagreement. Then again, you were coming into an uncharitable take so I’m not holding it against you.

I’m sure your conversational partner is going to appreciate and respond kindly to your contrition, because he was reeking of good faith.

Good luck comrade!!

Ms Rachel is pretty much a gold standard imo. I’m a parent who is very anal about screen time, don’t forbid it but it’s extremely curated and controlled, and because I enjoy researching I’ve consumed a lot of toddler content.

She comes to play, dawg. She beats out all the other toddler slop (even sesame street) because the vast majority of her catalogue is shit you should be doing, just recorded on a screen. She’s educated and employing methods that, if you pay attention and pick up, will genuinely help your kid along. There’s a dozen ‘Ms X’ channels out there and if they’re worth anything at all it’s because they’re almost a 1:1 copy of Ms Rachel’s content. The rest are slop. Cocomelon is slop. Paw Patrol is slop. Seriously, none of them compare to the actual value of an hour of Ms Rachel.

I say all this because my read of her has been that she’s an extremely professional and ethical person. I was watching her with my kid before she came out about Gaza and while I was chuffed in a very parasocial way, I wasn’t surprised at all. Dedicated children’s educators always carry a huge amount of empathy as they must teach it.

She’s filling a niche in the new media toddler landscape that almost everyone else has decided to exploit with pure brainrotting slop. Got me typing up paragraphs with no point just because I want to express her sheer basedness. If Ms Rachel has no fans then I’m dead.

Yes this is a strong point I don’t disagree with either. I look at it like this: Yes, parents should be afforded their natural right to access their children. No, parents should not have medical, total financial, or personal control over their kids until an arbitrary age. The secret sauce imo is properly socialized childcare; parents could be granted the benefit of the doubt that they’ll do right because there’s so many resources available to them to make it manageable, this also ensures a social standard of education & healthcare applied at the youngest possible age.

At that stage you could severely increase the legal penalties for neglecting your child and introduce more safety nets in way of developmental check-ins and home visits. I would support an outright ‘parenting license’ in a hypothetical society where childcare was completely socialized.

You can see car door handles in china - but at what cost?

as long as no one is telling them what to do, that is the most morally important aspect i’ve come to find
