A foreigner can learn Danish and adopt Danish customs to become a citizen of Denmark.

What happens if a Palestinian — and we’re talking about people *born in the land*, not immigrants — learns Hebrew? Or tries to convert to Judaism?

[Dark Togepi rises @VileTogepi]

I don't think that the average U.S. lib
would find it abnormal to consider unapologetically having worked for Blackwater as uniquely disqualifying of a candidate for the highest office in the legislative branch, purportedly as representative of an anti-imperialist movement

[Dark Togepi rises @VileTogepi]

The socdems' rickety defense for having supported Platner relies on conflating "'we' should not permit an unrepentant four-time U.S. soldier and mercenary to rise as a leader of 'our' movement" with "all veterans are irredeemable and should be killed on the spot"

[Potato @GotownedU90175]

Hasan Piker says any attempt to try and make Americans become anti-imperialists is not “normal.” And he compares anti Platner leftists who demand the status quo change to Zionists.

He urges that we “need to meet the masses where they are.” Would he say the same for Israelis?

Hilarious that every time you see this guy now his eyes are red and puffy (presumably from crying all the time because nobody will allow him to claim a progressive mantle with pro-genocide politics)

Dems Party summary: "The modern DNC is defined by a money flow. Money flows into the DNC from two sources: Oligarchs & the dull normal citizenry. Money flows out of the DNC through “payees” (vendors, consultants, “Democratic strategists”). These entities are highly concentrated."

[🔻 @uncle_authority]

a noble sentiment on its face but ultimately one that makes no sense considering less than half the country actually opposes the assassination and the vast majority think bombing the country is only bad because gas prices went up and Trump didn't seek rubber stamp approval first.

[Dark Togepi rises @VileTogepi]

Their admiration for the war of independence isn't indicative of core principles of their thought misunderstood by its critics, but of them simply not knowing enough about the subject to render a judgement which would be consistent with all of their other stated commitments

[Dark Togepi rises @VileTogepi]

And I think that we can safely say now, with the benefit of hindsight, that Marx, Engels, Lenin, Castro, and Ho Chi Minh, fallible for all of their talents and virtues, simply didn't know what they were talking about with respect to this topic specifically

[Cole Sandick🌹🇵🇸🇺🇦🇸🇩 @ColeSandick]

The American Revolution was universally praised by Marxists from Marx to Engels to Lenin to Castro to Ho Chi Minh, all the way up until edgy online communists and academics in the 21st century. Forget the merits of the take itself, it’s the historical illiteracy I can’t stand.

[Dom Technostate ☭ @DomTechnostate]

What does it accomplish (rhetorically or materially) to constantly invoke US settler-colonialism via “stolen land” declarations without forwarding a Decolonial politics? Why does bringing up the historical fact (and the ongoing act) often appear as politics qua politics?

Tone of the 250th stuff is off in part because “Founding Fathers 13 colonies spirit of 1776” stuff is absolutely cooked. Conservatives have mostly moved on to Hitler and ‘Hamilton’ was a last ditch lib attempt to freshen it up. Nobody would miss it if it completely disappeared.

[thizzical ✌︎ therapist @hellaclitean]

everyone talked like they had the internet in the 20s but then the Depression turned everyone back into country hicks and set the culture back by nearly a century

[A-100 gecs @PinstripeBungle]

the is islam leftist debate is so fucking exhausting because there's the better part of a century's worth of writing about that debate, from all sides, by authors from muslim-majority societies, who hashed every argument out in thorough exhausting detail, and continue to do so

[Fugs 🇵🇸🇾🇪🇱🇧🔻 @FugeusRedux]

Something that is particularly stupid about the past couple of days of discourse is that a lot of people have been posting about Bolshevik anticlericalism without the acknowledgement that a lot of Bolshevik anticlericalism was specifically targeted at the Russian Orthodox Church

[Dark Togepi rises @VileTogepi]

It's truly stunning to see Marxist materialists on here citing Hegel's 19th century philosophy of religion as an authoritative, scientific source on the nature of religion

[PK Gandakin 🪿 🚩 @pkgandakin]

Ohhh it’s just the heavenly reflex of earthly misery, to be overcome by praxis. Thanks for clarifying

[Sturgeon's Law @Sturgeons_Law]

If you're an atheist, you should think every religion is a malleable social construct and therefore compatible with any political view. 1,000 years ago, every major religious institution thought slavery was fine. How many of them defend it now?
