Say Her Name is trending because people are using it for Brianna Ghey, who is white, and i need y'all to understand that that phrase/hashtag was created for Black women who are victims of police violence.
in marxism we don’t say “you’re an idiot”, we say:
- unserious
- undialectical
- ahistorical
- unscientific
- idealist
- metaphysical
- revisionist
- adventurist
which directly translates to “I think you should be shot by a revolutionary tribunal”
and I think that’s beautiful
trying to explain to an 18 year old boy that war crimes are specifically designated as such because 18 year old boys think they’re invincible and are excited to commit them until they’re committed against them
i always saw historians making jokes like, “studying history isn’t about memorizing dates of battles it’s about grain prices in 16th century poland”
but no grain prices in 16th century poland actually do explain everything they weren’t kidding
a girltwink is a supercooled state where a gender remains boy under girl conditions below what is usually possible due to a lack of nucleation sites. a shock to the system will cause rapid crystallization into a face-center cubic girl structure. see fig. 1
hi! i have a degree in chemical engineering and industrial design! we are in a situation where we either continue at this pace and slam into a brick wall when resources stop existing, or we put on the breaks now and eventually coast to a sustainable social metabolism
he was a quite attractive, if a little awkward european guy; he had to be a real pervert to not just fuck undergrads. it’s penn state, they would have covered it up for him

They gotta be able to capture the design aesthetic needs of cigarette smokers, pot smokers, and suburban moms lighting candles so the selection is huge
the “rah rah there are no rules in love and war” to “whenever I close my eyes I see his face drowning in the gas, his mouth foaming and covered in sores and blood, body writhing in pain” pipeline is real
Persian Gulf International Airport in Iran reported a heat index of 152°F (66.7°C) today at 12:30 pm.

the main thing is that bacteria tend to be found wherever the conditions are right, so if you’re trying to recreate those conditions it’s harder bc it might have weird needs you have to supply yourself

It’s really terrible - there’s so much to be critical of when your setting is “the industrial revolution but with magic” and they somehow managed to dodge all of it and make Korra a glorified cop
Now that I actually directly work in drug manufacturing those anarchists arguing for boutique artisanal pharmaceutical production are so much more insane I can’t even put it into words. you cannot understand just how much quality control goes into a bottle of ibuprofen
shocking: a petty bourgeois artisan’s movement against new technology devaluing their cottage industry skills has immediately turned over into self-cannibalizing paranoia
You want to know one of the bigger issues with AI? That some artists are being accused that their art is made with AI when that's just how their art style is.
Imagine acting like you're on the side of supporting artists, just to make rude demoralizing comments to actual artists.

straightforwardly so; essentially every other major site has a content moderation department with regular paid staff. just bc the moderation on reddit wasn’t formally employed or paid doesn’t mean it’s not fundamentally a labor issue
“spanish is a colonizer language” yes bc i’m sure the predominantly non white people in latin america whose only language is spanish are actually profiteers and colonialists and not the colonized and exploited fuck man ur so right
for example: we have maybe 20 years left before peak corn and then it’s all downhill from there as the aquifers dry up and the prairie comes back whether we like it or not. this isn’t vibes, this is the current state of agronomy
@tara_chara
marx literally could not conceive of rail lines, highways, and the other technological advancements that led to the "service economy"
why would marxism be able to conceive what marx himself could not?

And god help you if your primary issue is attention not hyperactivity, ADHD treatment in this country is basically just “this white boy won’t sit in his desk all day or submit any assignments give him some amphetamines”
Honestly I think one of the worse bits of Orientalism on here is how Marxist Leninists think that every historic movement in the third world meant the same thing they do when they used the term Marxist Leninism.
@AnneNotation
This is what it's called. Google appears to have introduced a new search engine language parsing tool in 2019 which seems like caused a lot of the current trouble; I don't remember google being quite this terrible before that
i’m a communist and i also read the article which discusses this explicitly. i don’t need anyone to remind me amerikkkans will use any and all developments in medical science as unethically as possible

This reminds me distinctly of the way that anticommunists/antiurbanists always show pictures of Soviet era apartment buildings in February instead of August

thing is, once chemical weapons are normalized in warfare they become effectively useless; all the combatants just carry gas masks 24/7 and all they achieve is salting the earth and killing non-combatants

if you read it, if you read literally the first page of the first chapter of the first volume of Capital, you would know that use value is this intrinsic value you are championing, and that exchange value is the economic value I am criticizing
Žižek was always, more than anything else, funny; he was always more effective as an incredibly oblique comedian rather than a marxist or philosopher. his current turn is entirely unsurprising but still deeply frustrating
@VenturCommunist
way too much low level debate about stalin is whether you should passively nod along with what you learned in high school history class or take the devil they paint and say it’s actually good without any more investigation. i hate pop history i hate pop history i hate pop history
A lot of people are responding to this saying STEM students need humanities classes to “teach them empathy”, but knowing engineers in general: give them Foucault and they’ll design you a state of the art prison
I think the most striking gap in education settlers answers is this: if the transcontinental railroad was built by the Chinese, where did they all go? well it turns out, they were often massacred
