As a side note, having spent way too much time moderating on the internet myself, there is a absolutely a type of admin/mod who sees themselves as different and above the rabble because of their role and spend way too much time in secret mod chats talking about their userbase. Personally I can’t deal with debating issues with people when a big “I can ban you” badge hangs over my username but i’ve seen too many people whose online persona hinges on it and it’s very unhealthy.

I love my niche communist internet forum that avoids the pitfalls of niche internet forums and communist organisations

Phrasing it like she’s gonna start calling Latinos slurs because they weren’t good little minorities voting for the Dems

The Baloch Liberation Army and ISIS-K somehow grew significantly since 2022 when they started targeting Chinese workers in Afghanistan and Pakistan

It has begun

They fucked up when they forced Putin to run an economy instead of just a more managed form of oligarchic looting

Enzo Fernandez has 7 (SEVEN) black French teammates at Chelsea and is on contract until at least 2030 alongside most of them, genuinely the dumbest footballer of all time.

Witnessing my first polycule breakup from the sidelines, I don’t know how you polyamorous folk do it

Surviving an assassination and forcing a public Biden appearance? He really can’t lose.

It’s wild how the UK still has FPTP despite having multiple third parties with double digit percentages. It’s not even like America where 95% vote D or R, Labour and the Tories are on 55% combined.

It’s not about Jordan Peterson

I’d recommend stuff like The Platform or Andor, definitely has the more hopeful vibes you’re looking for.

I’d say inserting a success story doesn’t really mix with the doomer tone of the movie which is just trying to depict how hard the odds are stacked against them because social mobility does not exist in South Korea. In the real world, no matter how cunning and smart the Kim family are they will never become equals with the idiots that are the Park family because society is not meritocratic in the slightest. The only real solution is replacing that society entirely but that’s a little too revolutionary to get made.

The real liberalism is Bong depicting police brutality in Memories of Murder as necessary because they’re too incompetent to actually investigate the murders properly

It does a lot more to lecture working class folks on solidarity than it does lecture the rich on the wealth inequality that fuels their servant-filled lifestyle but then again, you could literally beat them over the head with a rock and they wouldn’t get it (which literally does happen to Ki-woo).

I like the fact that to us it’s crystal clear why Mr Kim finally snaps at the disrespect his family is shown by Mr Park but the bourgeois audience sees nothing but the surface level of the movie and sees the Kim family as parasites. The naivety of the rich family is perfectly reflected in the people who see the movie and just don’t get why he stabs Park.

You’d think with Yiddish being a High German dialect and Ashkenazi cuisine being German and having them pay reparations for the Holocaust, this would be the first suggestion for a Jewish homeland. Of course, a Jewish homeland in Europe was never on the books and every suggestion was always some place as far away from Europe as possible.

At this point any government not trying to intervene is complicit in the crimes of israel. If the international rules based order means anything, 800 murdered in a hospital attack should erase any right for the state of israel to exist.
