@linkshund I’m not saying your point is incorrect.
I’m just saying if I was on a marketing team trying to come up with a new slogan for anti-imperialism, “don’t worry about beheadings because imperialism kills way more people” wouldn’t make it past the initial brainstorming session.
@SuperSpacedad@pissvortex I agree.
I was trying to make a self-deprecating joke about me being a pretentious lazy sack of crap but I guess it didn’t land.
@whatkamisays Yeah, I agree with that.
I think was overly pedantic about the phrase “clinical term”.
This app has me in a combative mood and you caught a stray.
@RockChartrand You fear addressing actual arguments (or history) so you invented a straw-man quote.
The ruling class hate socialism because it is at odds with their class interests.
And bootlickers blindly obey power.
@PunishedGramsci And no, I don’t know or care about whatever larger Sysco discourse you’re referencing.
I’m just telling you that you sound like a prick.
@PunishedGramsci Oh look at the service sector gatekeeper over here. You know service makes up one of the largest sectors of employment, right?
Especially for entry level workers?
A LOT of people have worked service jobs.
So gate-keeping it looks really sad. You’re just not that special.
@ser_crispincool It’s telling that you aren’t quoting actual tweets but instead just fighting strawmen in your head.
What is your point even? You think the war was started on false pretenses but hope Iran gets bombed into freedom?
Really strong analysis buddy.
@MikeNellis While these countries are often informally referred to as “communist states”, if we are using colloquialisms then what was the point of this pedantic argument in the first place?
@MikeNellis Communism isn’t a form of government.
What you think you’re talking about is Marxist-Leninist state socialism.
Which had unbelievable success despite all of the centers of money and power on earth violently opposing it from its inception.
Also, China.
