In a communist utopia, if you wanted to watch trashy social media garbage while you take the train home after a long day you should be forced to hunt for it in one big alphabetical directory that looks like mid-‘90s Yahoo. Recommendation algorithms are inherently reactionary and after the revolution they must be abolished.

A colon and putting the two halves on separate lines would also work in all-caps

Indeed. Defend from who? The Kaiser?

Trotskyists have the right idea about focusing so much on publishing and distributing their own newspapers. Unfortunately those papers are filled with unapproachable Trotskyist rants, usually about big global issues, and contain basically zero real journalism. A free leftist local newspaper with a website and a print copy handed out at a few busy transit stations every morning could, for example, actually send a reporter to report on local goings-on in the town hall and so on. Given how so many local news outlets have closed over the past couple of decades and left many towns and cities without any local news, the average person might actually want to read such a paper.

This map is going out of its way to draw lines along the pre-WW2 German borders including the bits Hitler annexed before the war.

Hey everyone let’s quite literally judge this book by its cover

I like the shade of yellow in the text

The real crumple zone is fragile masculinity.

How many 9/11s is that, twenty? If only there was another country to blame it on then something could be done about it.

Comparing the most recently available GDP growth data for one year across multiple major economies : cherry picking

Wondering why data from several decades ago (during the height of rapid massive industrialization that countries tend to only ever do once in their entire history) wasn’t included : not cherry picking

Yeah the proportion of the adult population who won't or legally can't vote in so-called democracies in the west is fucking huge. In the last US election Biden won with about 24% of the total population voting for him (81 million votes in a country of about 332 million people). In the last UK election the tories had roughly 20% of the total UK population vote for them, and in Canada Trudeau and his lot got about 14% of the total population's vote. It's kind of shocking when you actually look at how little of a country supporting a party it takes to claim democratic legitimacy.

Too late, it’s real. I tried to use a public toilet in Sweden once with QR code payment lock on the door. I couldn’t get the fucking thing to work while I was in the middle of doing the gotta go dance so I ran up the street and found another public toilet at a place that still had an actual human person taking coins.
