Would anyone be down? We would need a game master, players would represent different interests groups (labor unions, poc, scientists, revolutionaries, ect), everyone would have a hidden agenda, players can become a supreme leader or it could end up entirely as anarchy, it would be entirely text based through discord. Gameplay would consist of passing laws in a weekly held congress and the laws can either have positive or negative consequences based off a chance roll. Everyone loses if the committee loses power, if the character your playing as gets purged you just play a new character, getting kicked out of the game for real requires you being an asshole. I call it committees and chairpeoples.

ive seen blue eyes and im pretty green eyes exist but are gray and yellow eyes real?

Imagine a long line of terminally ill cancer patients and old people laying on gurneys being pushed by hospice workers towards the Israeli embassy for their turn to commit suicide in front of it. Imagine granny choosing to go out by self immolation smoking one final cigarette as the hospice workers pour gasoline on her. I’m not kidding if you work the medical field and are even tangentially involved with medically assisted suicide suggest it a joke, maybe not the self immolation part, maybe there’s a cool dying boomer that would do this.

He hit a fucking tower

You cannot make a civil war movie and it not be political the British guy who thought California and Texas would ever be allies needs to get fired. IF HE HAD ANY BRAVERY HE WOULD HAVE MADE THE PRESIDENT TRUMP!

If you do not want to see Reddit crash and burn then why are you on a Reddit spin off site? The peoples view on Reddit, left and right, black and white, women and man, trans and straight. EVERYONE HATES REDDIT. It has become a symbol for the technocrat arrogance of Silicon Valley, it started as a company that allowed literally anything from child abuse to beheadings and whole bunch of other heinous shit, and they have been trying to sanitize the front page with bleach for years while sweeping all the problematic shit that doesn’t get noticed under the rug. Reddit is no different from any other social media website (besides lemmy, luv u lemmy). Today it’s Reddit going on the stock market, tomorrow it’s discord, how long until the people who idolize Patrick Bateman are trading in 4chan stock? Reddit can go two ways, it either can die a slow painful death like tumblr which is preferable because that would force people to migrate to new social media sites, or it can go like Twitter and become the mouthpiece of some asshole billionaire.

If anyone has any idea of how the internet could do some collective action to make Reddit eat shit please, share them. My idea is we should write to the advertisers and complain about the mods and try to get those two groups to fight each other, causing the site to implode.

I think it was during the trump presidency, but early into the trump presidency before qanon. I had a random flashback thinking about it earlier. I’m pretty sure one of the pepes was like Bain from Batman and it had text that said “the fire rises” or something cringe like that.

Some call him teflon hasan because no internet bullshit ever sticks to him. We have seen generations of breadtubers come and go during his career (which is only a few years to be fair) but absolutely NUTHING can stop this man. Hasan is the kind of guy who could shoot a person on 5th avenue and get away with it. Hasan could have been caught red handed on Epstein island and walked away with more twitch subscribers than he had the day before. He is the face of the modern left. He could call for red brigades to descend on the streets of New York or Washington, but he doesn’t. Because hasan is also a bonafide leftist theorist, for you see hasan has made a incomprehensible calculation in his head that buying Ferraris and Hollywood mansions for himself is more important to the leftist cause than calling for any direct action. Genius really, we already see the fruits of his labor as his brash spending habits have caused a complete collapse of the Israeli Zionist terrorists, Palestine is winning because of hasan, the left is winning, you are winning, that is unless you don’t donate your entire life savings to hasan in his twitch streams as an epic act of praxis. He might even say your name, probably not, but self sacrifice is the greatest virtue you can ever have unless your name is HASANABI FUCKING PIKER! DO YOU KNOW WHO HIS UNCLE IS?! DO YOU CHUD!?

Even if they’re not serious it’s a pretty amazing bit, and if they decide to actually build a military base down there and say fuck the un treaties and the penguins, I’m not saying the development of Antarctica is a good thing, but all that environmental destruction would be offset by counteracting US hegemony so it’s better that it happens than it doesn’t?

Alt-history is so infested with the right the left has given up with it, why must we be relegated to to the realm of sci-fi? It’s impossible to predict how the past would have went if things had gone different, but what if we predict it anyways? The left doesn’t need a Henry Turtledove, we need a Marx writing a detailed non-fictional thesis about what would have happened if history events had gone differently. We need someone to take a scientific approach towards alt-history, that’s why we need marxist alt-history.

I had this what if floating in my noggin for a while, back in the 1910s when Russia had its revolution, Russia then was a colonial power similar to the United States and the rest of Europe, had Russia not had that revolution and instead it was France, today leftists would possibly be okay with French Algeria but be rightly against Russian occupation of Siberia. Why? I think that there were was a brief period in the 1900s when a colonial nation could go socialist/left wing and then its colonial holdings could be legitimized as an integral part of an AES nation. There are limits of course, the USSR did give independence to lands it controlled under the czar like ukraine and after ww2 east germany wasn’t part of Russia proper. China could easily have annexed Mongolia but they didn’t, socialists tend not to favor empire as a matter of ideology, but they will use the legacy of it to their advantage. It would have been crazy then to give up that much territory.

So what about America? Maybe in the Great Depression era we could have elected Eugene Debs, or he could have pulled a January 6th. That was probably the last time an actual leftist could have salvaged the United States as a socialist nation. Now it’s going to require balkanization to implement socialism here, it’s going to have to be done piecemeal, probably will require military occupation, a socialist in power would have to basically burn the whole system to the ground instead of taking over the system. No more White House, no more states, congress, constitution, all that shit has to go now, but it didn’t have to if we had achieved socialism early enough. So say America did achieve socialism in the 1920s? What would the borders look like?

I expect the Indian reservations would have become semi-independent republics like we see exist in Russia now, I would expect desegregation would have happened a lot earlier, we probably wouldn’t have kept Hawaii, and Hawaii probably would have still been attacked by Japan or some other fascist nation in the pacific so ironically America could have been liberators there kinda like we were in the Philippines (not saying the US was a force of good there but a socialist US would definitely have a navy in the pacific and use it). Alaska would have been kept, either Russia is our friend and wouldn’t ask for it back, or Russia isn’t socialist so fuck them. I bet the border with the US and Mexico is a more contentious issue because even if both nations are socialists I would expect both to be claiming the south west as theirs, but the US would get its way as the larger socialist state. And Canada, I think we would have annexed it. It was a British colonial holding, Quebec didn’t want to be in Canada, the maritime providences weren’t even officially apart of Canada yet, the northern territories were entirely indigenous land. If the US went socialist it’s unlikely Canada would have lasted. And the Caribbean, imagine if Cuba was like an an American Taiwan, just the descendants of slave owners doing wholesome capitalism off the shores of communist United States empire. It would be incredibly ironic.

Thats it, that’s the post, please tear it apart and explain why my theories are dangerous.
