It’s also a lot less noticeable than it seems in your head when you pause. Taking that extra minute to edit a sentence in your head adds pauses that can also help to draw in people listening.

Depends on the can, if I can press the top in to get the tab to pop up a little, then I will just to that. If that doesn’t work, then a spoon or knife it is.

I always have to recommend Vampire: The Masquerade, Bloodlines. Cheesy AF game from the early 'aughts, but it holds a special place in my heart and is a fantastic RPG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAIR9faz9pM

At least get the people in the quote right.

I would argue that’s an issue of perspective, were I to post things that are hypercritical of western propaganda on world, I would be and have been banned there too. Managing propaganda is not the same thing as the claims made above.

Nowhere in that link was there claims that only the state has a monopoly on violence.

Edit: And I have absolutely been critical of Russia on their communities. As for the China critiques, I imagine they’re tired of the same western propaganda ad nauseum

I have not experienced that. But I agree with your position otherwise

The lemmy.ml in my name for a reason. My realization moment was while I was in the military ironically enough.

I tell my boys I love them. Kisses on the forehead before we part too.

They have a high power one for those bastards.

Does anyone actually want to be in Ohio? If something is Ohio, it’s that vague uncomfortable ugly failure feeling.

I feel that in my soul. I’m a sysadmin, however it’s mostly password resets 🥲

You’re probably joking, but this is where I landed. We’re no where near ready to join a galactic community.

That’s interesting… Communism is by definition stateless and without significant hierarchy. I don’t think other Tankies would disagree with me there.

The ideological difference is in how we achieve communism. I would really suggest reading ‘What is to be Done’ by Lenin. It’s a real short read but was one of the things that sold me on Marxism-Leninism vs. regular “Communism is a neat idea”

Capitalism will sell you the “you’re your own boss, go forth an conquer” all while keeping you under their heel. There is no equality or opportunity there; but even worse is that they will worm their way into any system that does not harshly and consistently fight back against them. Ergo the need for a ‘communist’ (or rather pursuing communism) state.

That then leads into “Well how does the state go away once we’ve got communism?” That’s a whole 'nother can of worms…

Cool, face the wall lib.

That’s not even where the term originates. Come on, if you’re going to use the term at least do the 10 second Google search.

100 percent agreed. They’ll group anything too far left of them under the same name. Don’t care anymore. If they want to whine then fuck it, I’ll wear the term.

The .world libs just couldn’t help themselves but ruin our circlejerk.

Sure fuck it. I’ll Tankie. Castro is a hero. Western news knows nothing of glorious DPRK Juche, and comrade Stalin did nothing wrong.

Yes.

And your mistake is in calling the IRA terrorists. I think you mean the English were terrorizing the Irish people.
