Got permabanned from PieFed.social for saying the 1930s famine in the USSR wasn't deliberate, which is a common understanding even among bourgeois historians:

PJ whined to Rimu to get me banned for debunking PJ too hard

For anyone that doesn't work in an office, have you heard it's March already? Can you believe it's already March? Where is this year going? Everything's happening so fast. It's March already, can you believe it?

There you go, you've had your fill of office banter for the day

Crazy how American libs can't even clear this low bar

Lmao i reported a shenyun ad on Instagram as idk violence or terrorism i don't recall, and it got removed

I am going to be 2500 years old by the time these decade weeks end

I'm getting really tired of this whole "Genociding all of the global South is just a distraction from the Epstein Files actually" sentiment going around. If there's anything showing how much Americans think themselves as the center of the universe it's this. As if there's nothing else to gain by the US getting access to Iran's oil, trade routes, and removing the largest anti-imperialist obstacle they have in the Middle East. And even if there was nothing to gain from it other than a distraction, why does the US even need a fucking distraction when so much is already out there and Americans are just sitting there and taking it all? You will still do absolutely nothing but complain if the whole files come out unless you realize that violence is sometimes the answer.

I know a lot of it is ironic but I'm starting to get irrationally annoyed at it.

I don’t think most fantasy writers are intentionally writing monarchist propaganda, but it kind of always feels like that to me.

A friend was reading Marx in public and a real-life bebate pervert approached them asking why they are reading that.

They got to hear the whole tiananmenTankMan-holomor-butdoyoucondemhamas-spectacle in the span of an hour. This guy debated a stranger reading Marx for a whole hour unprompted.

Real life marketplace of ideas people exist, omg.

Stranger telling me at the plasma center how the rich are drinking our plasma at Epstein Island and I have to hold myself back from correcting him that's he's getting plasma mixed up for andrenochrome

Approached podium and clears throat

"Dave Chapelle Roan"

Crowd erupts in applause

All of my co-workers are on team Iran in this war. They were also pissed that our prime minister decided to declare our support of Israel and murica cause of that wasnt implied in the first fucking place. We're already the 51st state where it counts! Even the white dudes, one of whom I had to explain who Khamenei was and like...the bare basics of Iranian history cause this dude is powerfully ignorant, but he knew anyway that America threatened to annex us recently and that the word Canada is probably spoken less than 100 times a year in the Iranian government, who's the threat here? He's a smart dude, just amazingly politically and historically ignorant but he does admit that isnt a good trait and is eager to learn.

About half our kitchen is Phillino, and not too big on America. Our cranky older daytime dish and prep guy has a history degree and despite his incoherent politics and degree of social conservatism (dude is for sure homophobic but knows not to talk about it, but if someone is gay he brings it up every time that person is brought up) he understands geopolitics is aware that North Korea is alright. He knows people who have worked there. And has big respect for Gaddafi and doesnt get all sentimental about deterrence.

Death to America seems to be the overall sentiment. I'm just a Canadian, literally america but a different country but after all the tarrif bullshit and annexation threats, along with a domestic policy of disappearing people with a stare sponsored gang of jack booted thugs has made the general popular vibe here to be just a bit under 'beat up any American tourist'. If America is reaching that level of hostile feelings among the Canadian populace, the rage has to be burning fucking hot elsewhere. Eventually enough has to be enough even under a global capitalist order cause you cant just try to take the whole pie. You give just enough grease to turn the wheel slowly then apply just enough weight to hold people down. Eventually theyre gonna put their hands into the pockets of enough other rich people to make it a problem. The poor people dont even have a moth left to fly out of their wallet, they will need to eat their own soon enough.

12 plasma donations in a row is prob my limit, lucky enough I can take a break next week to recover. We living in hell fr and feel fucked knowing others have it worse. Not a competition but good damn I am not built for this one chance at this world and the game was rigged before I was even born.

Just a bit of a small rant, but with the whole “everyone is twelve now”, I feel like I’m twelve too sometimes out of necessity.

“I don’t want war, people get hurt and I don’t like it when people get hurt.”

“Racism is mean and that’s bad, aren’t we all tired of being bad?”

“If we can use more eco-friendly ways of keeping people safe and healthy, of course we should do so! I like animals and plants and nice days outside. We shouldn’t pollute them away!”

See? I feel like a 12 year old!

Riddlemasters that are delighted when you correctly answer their riddles are way cooler than riddlemasters that get pissed when you correctly answer them.

Iran be like: If I only had two bullets and I was in a room with the Great Satan, the genocidal Zionist entity and the UAE, I'd shoot the UAE twice.

Sorry, I can’t tonight, I’m reading the chapo dot chat news mega

I had a full blown panic attack today. I literally had to pull over my car on the side of the road because i felt like i was dying. It was one of the worst experiences of my life, like i was completely disconnected from my body and environment and the world was swallowing me whole.

Tucker Carlson is something else. He does this whole interview with Christian clergy in Jordan where they talk about how accepting the Muslims are of Christians, he goes "Oh", and "Oh wow" and "US media would never report on this" and then IN THE SAME VIDEO he does an ad read for a "documentary" about migrants in Europe, literally titled "Europe's Replacement" with scary brown people in the trailer.

While him clowning on Cruz and Huckabee was satisfying to listen to, there are plenty of reminders just how much of an irredeemable piece of shit Tucker is. He says verbatim later in the video "I rarely feel shame." At least he's self-aware.

I need to sleep but this shit has got me anxious.

Can we go one day without the ruling class trying to destroy Earth, please?

Have you ever noticed how every puddle fits perfectly into the hole it fills?

They should have made one more season of Seinfeld where they were in prison. George could get recognized from his stint accidentally impersonating the head of the Aryan Union and mistake his newfound friends as The Bald Gang. Jerry would get shanked every episode. Everyone would think Kramer was the biggest badass in the place cause of how casually he would mooch off of people. Elaine just leaves cause it's a male prison so it's easy to convince people she isnt a prisoner. You could have a visitation where Uncle Leo insists that Jerry's cousin Jeffrey at the parks department is pulling all the strings he can, he wishes he had cousin Jeffrey around when he committed his crime of passion, ill tell you that!

listening to a radio interview with the leader of the israeli left wing opposition and he's so overtly bloodthirsty that eve nthe BBC interviewer is shocked and was asking "and if there isn't regime change that favours Israel, what then? Should Israel just keep striking Iran every few years destroying everything that's built until there is?" and the guy said something along the lines of "well, if we need to do it, then we need to do it. We can't just sit on our hands waiting for them to build a nuclear weapon to destroy Israel with, the Jewish people must have safety"

god damn, what a hell of a time to quit drinking

i've made a lot of dramatic changes to my appearance lately, and my wife has supported me 100 percent of the way. Every time I'm like "I dunno about how this looks" she says I look cool. 🥰 Thanks to her support I have really leaned into it, this is my best work yet!

Google Maps really ruined the essential childhood experience of watching your dad with a coffee and cigarette carefully studying a map before a road trip.

"And that's why daddy got nukes"

Them: "You should've gotten into something useful, get into a trade"

Also:

When you get paid state minimum wage just to be treated like less than dog shit in 100 degree weather and have to hear your coworkers non stop yap about illegals, feminism, how they hate their ex girlfriend, which coworkers they think are gay.

I also tried to get a job as an electrician helper and applied everywhere in town and no one hired me because I didn't have experience and times are tough you know

Being in Florida feels like you're absolutely trapped too with the low wages. I know journeymen plumbers who make 20hr with no raise. I would pack my things into my car and go up north for one of those higher paying apprenticeship programs but I got some crippling stomach problems. Not having a my own toilet nearby just won't work

The first guy tk put a propeller on a hat must have gotten laid so much

When we delete posts, can it actually FUCKING DELETE them? And not just put a little trashcan icon next to them but they're still visible for EVERYONE TO SEE??? CLEARLY I WANT MY DELETED POSTS TO BE GONE

Bit idea: guy who's retirement plan is scratchers. He doesnt play em, he just buys one a week to sell later as "vintage scratchers"

Question for Star Wars people:

There's a person I see at work who has their car decked out in Sith stuff. Vanity license plate says Sith, pro-Sith stickers, the empire butthole logo where the vehicles manufacturer logo would go, etc.

Aren't the Sith unredeemable evil? I haven't watched any Star wars besides Andor, so maybe I'm missing some lore where the Sith are rehabilitated or something.

It's so weird to me to make loving the baddies of a film a big part your identity. Wondering if this is the red flag it seems to be.

I'm somewhat of a tankie myself

"is a blood pressure 186 high" and other things you hear

Idk how people can wake up and not feel dread, despair and an immense amount of hate. I talk to people in real life and it's like Im living in the twilight zone
