All right-wing politics is projection.

I see a lot of good faith attempts to point out their issues from Hexbear.

I think they’re cool.

TBH, not that surprising. I haven’t watched her videos, but STEM faculty can be often be quite reactionary, especially in fields that are much more of a white boys club like physics. I have had numerous heated arguments with transphobes in my department and related departments and despite all this “universities are Marxist/Liberal bastions”, even saying pronouns in introductions is a very unpopular thing with the faculty (students and staff less so). And this is despite my department having quite above average number of LGBTQ people in it.

This was so frustrating, because the centrist Lib IRL friends were all telling me that this shows how practical and effective Democrats were. Because, even without adopting radical and unelectable stances like Bernie, they are causing these great reductions in poverty. And we shouldn’t worry about these built-in deadlines, because all entitlements and handouts are extremely hard to claw back like Social Security, because taking them away would be so unpopular with the voters that receive them. I told them that Democrats would claw everything back and find excuses for further austerity after they decide the pandemic was over, and everyone around me was angry that I would dare say that the Democrats weren’t doing everything possible to improve the lives of all Americans to the limit of what Republicans could stop them.

The “all leftists are doomed to be Cassandras” effect is real.

I have a similar thing, and I have found that certain shoes with the right lacing pattern work well. Basically, buy something with a big toe-box, but most of the lacing concentrated on the center of the foot so that you can narrow it by lacing it tight. I find that certain Xero shoes, and most iterations of Merrell Trail Gloves work well for this.

IDK, I used to really recommend Red Wing, but I have been repeatedly told that over the last decade (I have had mine for, I think, 12 years, so not from first-hand experience) their quality has very consistently getting worse. So maybe some caution there.

So you think that rewarding the Democrats for having the only standard be “Our senile, racist, rapist, corrupt, reactionary war criminal doesn’t have an orange spray tan” is going to “get the job done”? Or just the entire party being the polite, norms-respecting Republicans.

Yeah, we all know that real Communists have full beards. Marx, Engels, Castro, Che… I could go on.

Lenin had a goatee, so half credit.

Unless they are not being a liberal and not pretending that the conflict started in 2022 (so maybe you can count Crimea). Technically they are creating the LNR and DNR, so it is similar to Iraq as they are installing a friendly puppet governments. So, even beyond the fact that the line is “invasions and wars of aggression are bad, but here is some distinction I came up with so that Russia is irredeemably bad, while the US made an unfortunate mistake”, it does not even stand up on their own logic.

“Biden may be my friend, but that does not absolve him of being a Mongrel Dog of the Empire. Despite it only costing the Imperial Temple 3 Septims to enchant a Cure Disease scroll, they charge 100 Septims. And he has cut back Restoration funding despite the ongoing Corpus pandemic.”

I am reporting your Anti-Tribunal sentiments to the Ordinators.

“Yeah, we’re Günthering!”
