I wanted to bait some people in the thread by telling them I voted for Claudia de la Cruz and prompt them to scold me, just for me to tell them that in Puerto Rico our vote was purely symbolic and their country is still a colonialist hellhole, but the post was removed

I got that person good but they removed the post ggs
The mods removed the post because I was posting too hard. I was styling on them.
I may have left like 30 comments in that thread by now.
It means the thing from the liberal Elmo bit. "Ideologically speaking, because I'm a good person, I don't want to call the police on you. But push comes to shove, I will and I have. I already did"

I think it might be too common of a last name and too specifically Jewish for me to stick to this bit but in another life it would go hard.
Was playing some Hollow Knight and beat Radiant Nightmare King Grimm, White Defender, and Failed Champion. A bunch of other easy ones too (don't ask how many attempts Vengefly King and Flukemarm took 
). Probably won't be able to do much more for a while but I intend to try my best to finish all bosses at Radiant and doing Pantheon 5 before moving on to Silksong.
Not looking forward to Sly and Markoth.
Who's Curtis Yarvin for women?
tldr the kind of repression and state control that @ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de notes in Cuba as disqualifying it from the label of 'socialism' and making it 'communism' instead are actually the precise things that make Cuba a socialist state, as opposed to a communist post-state society.
It's an error to just use the words like 'socialism' = 'cool and good' while 'communism' = 'bad and scary' because that's just 2nd grade tier analysis that doesn't clear anything up at all, and just confuses you further.
One thing that's worth noting is that Israel and the US are the two countries that voted against making food a human right at the UN and both are actively committing genocide via starvation.
These two processes are actually intrinsically connected and are part of a broader strategy I fear is only going to see more examples as climate collapse plays out. There's going to be more groups that the imperialist powers will want to wipe out and ecosystem collapse will cause famines that a blockade can escalate into a mass death event.

Hear, hear.
Every authoritarian government has its supporters, without they would never survive.
And that's the thing: those people are absolutely maddening to argue with. In Gaza, the war crimes were (and still are being) live streamed, and the question was how is there still any doubt. Some of those same people see videos of the protests and the people identifying bodies in makeshift morgues and somehow argue their way around it.
I hope the protesters are successful. I know a Syrian family who fled the war. I coincidentally met some of them on their shift the day the Assad regime was toppled. One of them said, "we can breathe now". Meanwhile in the middle of the city the people were celebrating. It's hard to describe how happy I felt for all of them.
When you're kinda worried what the state of your country is gonna be like after your pro-democracy protests topple the regime and your homie says, "Hey, look at how great the Syrians have it!"

No he didn't! 
read up and agitate.
AmeriKKKa has kidnapped a democratically elected leader, and most nation states (even left wing LatAm governments) are too afraid to call him what he is. Don't give the imperialists an inch.
inshallah, spanish, ojalá

I got a lib to reveal they thought Hitler got in power because people didn't vote against him. I got another lib to say that my criticisms were good but they wanted an actionable plan, to which I responded with links to What is to be Done and State and Revolution. I was otherwise just running laps in that thread...
All that dunking will be lost like tears in the rain.
