90% their land as dessert

Man, why does no one ever talk about Caketopia’s enduring struggle against European imperialism

Software engineers are an out-of-shape bunch and definitely need physical education but I’m not sure how that’d help with bad security practices

No one ever accused fascists of being consistent.

They’re doing the usual fash thing of attacking consumerism from the right

To add my own 2 cents:

Not everyone has the same desires. From a Marxist-Leninist view, religion, like many social constructs, persists because it advances the interests of the ruling class. Most people don’t want to be slaves, but if (for example) your religion’s holy book has a passage telling slaves to obey their masters, that aligns with the desires of slaveowners so the slaveowning class is gonna promote that religion.

Given that the largest imperial power on Earth has spent decades encircling China, I don’t blame them for wanting to reduce antagonism with the nuclear-armed state directly south of them that holds a fifth of the world’s population.

The protagonist of this fable would later go on to inspire the witnesses in the Ace Attorney series

Year Zero was a product of American culture during the Bush administration, but it only becomes more relevant as time goes on.

We think we’ve climbed so high on all the backs we’ve condemned
We face the consequence; this is the beginning of the end

my actual pronoun preference is “i wish language was different and nobody had to deal with any of this”

You and me both, friend.

Any post in the vegan comm in which a carnist barges in to start shit with us. Literally the inciting incident that made me first apply for a position as a moderator. Thankfully it’s gotten a lot less common now that the most belligerent carnists have either been banned from the comm or driven off the site for their other reactionary views.

fuck all the kids trying to bring it back. Legit need discipline.

0% chance this guy isn’t using a euphemism to avoid saying communists make him want to beat children.

I’ve been worried about this for a while, how long is it until the Star of David is viewed more as a hate symbol than a religious one?

I’ve been there since shortly after October 7.
