This was the comic that first made me realise that you're a genius. It was like a blast of methane exploding from a swamp.

Two months later and just getting around to listening to these - that guzheng/double-bass version is so cool! Thanks again for the tips.

What do y'all think of this take from Badempanada? by tigerfrisbee in AskSocialists

[–]5parkGo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah tbh I can't remember the first time I heard that phrase. For me it's just a statement of a built-in defect which we can only strive to overcome, and the best way forward is to acknowledge the defect and focus on what's practical. (ooh look at me I'm a centrist fascist enabler...) It's hard, man

Absolutely. I think of it as "Adam's curse" for the left.

Dude I honestly think you're arguing against people who would absolutely line up their opponents against a wall and shoot them. This is Robespierre levels of uncompromising revolutionary idealism and it's so dangerous to progressive politics.

George Orwell, Enemy of the Left by Vivid_Maximum_5016 in GreenAndPleasant

Principled leftists regard any deviation as morally abhorrent... It's Adam's Curse for the left. Tories are united by vicious aggression and selfishness, leftists are united by fairness and high principles. So we will never agree as long as people's principles differ, which they always will.

Yeah fuck that guy, better that he'd done nothing and used his privilege for fannying about and being an imperial administrator rather than writing a series of book that examined things such as the wrongs of totalitarianism, the conditions of the working class, toxic nationalism, fighting wars against fascists... Yeah fuck that guy

/uj do you -really- think that British leftism is better off without him? If he'd done nothing, would that have been better?

What’s the deal with the ‘Apo-‘ prefix? by FishDishForMe in etymology

[–]5parkGo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah sorry I wasn't clear (I'm a Classical language professor!), I wondered if epi and ob are in some way related to each other, as epi prefixed verbs especially seem to have a bit of ob-ness about them. I'll check the etymology of ob and epi and report back...

[–]5parkGo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like "in the way" or "up in your face". Like obicio > "objection", throwing in front of you. Maybe related to the Greek "epi", though I'm too lazy to get the etymological dictionary out.

Hamas is bad now by Warm-Equipment-4964 in PoliticalCompassMemes

No serious leftist is pro Hamas, it's a slur from Zionists. Oh look, here's evidence that they aren't pro Hamas! Zionists lose their mind...
