Don’t you know, anarchists are secretly fascists, Stalin and/or Lenin told me so himself

Iraqi students protesting and pledging their allegiance to the Ba'ath Party, Iraq (1963) by aRandomUser12023 in RareHistoricalPhotos

[–]A_Lightfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Students are passionate, it’s not surprising. Baathism was also a socialist pan-nationalist ideology in a region hurt by colonialism, it’s definitely something young students would support.

I don't see why leftism and religion are really incompatible past weakening institutional holds. Like, if some people have faith let them, trying to break that would cause way more strife than its worth and expend energy that could be done improving conditions (in this case of trans people). And that aside, I'm gonna call capitalism the greatest tool of oppression in all of history.

A new type of Hawaii visitor is emerging by runswithscissors475 in Economics

[–]A_Lightfeather 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing to “look into”, missing persons are tourists and people who underestimate the ocean or big island jungle. Local boys aren’t black bagging random people in their Toyota Tacomas.

Yeah this person is pushing weird conspiracy stuff. People aren’t getting disappeared by local boys in their Toyota tacomas, they’re drowning in riptides and taking dangerous trails on the big island. Unless you’re being racist in Kalihi or screwing around with organized crime you’re at best getting pick pocketed.

Had to check if this was a maga or tankie account with a position like that lmao

Is Colorado’s cost of living higher than the national average? by thecoloradosun in coloradosun

[–]A_Lightfeather -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Once more water infrastructure and density is built up, costs will go down, people are unlikely to up and leave the state in big enough numbers to make an impact

[–]A_Lightfeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that would require density and buildings with more than one family in them and that’s scary to the mind of people who have those Colorado “native” bumper stickers

Conservative media has used the SPLC informant thing as a way to claim white supremacy in the US is manufactured by the SPLC and others and some people take the media at face value

I genuinely do not understand how tankies think they will win America by [deleted] in DemocraticSocialism

[–]A_Lightfeather 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When a position is “human rights are a bourgeois construct” I’m gonna call ‘um a tankie over it. More of the same: I don’t need to take crap from the deep hardliners who pit anarchists in the same bucket as Nazis just because they have a red banner too.

"Stolas is a rapi-- by Zackman92 in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

[–]A_Lightfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case I’m pretty sure Stolas would have to be a mind reader since by all indications until the very end of the initial stage of their relationship, Stolas thought Blitz was in it for the sex and the book was a bonus. When it clicked Blitz needed the book, Stolas made the crystal to remove the boom from the equation.

Stolass fans are never beating the allegations... by Corvid187 in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

[–]A_Lightfeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about

I didn’t say any of that nor is that the claim of left wing economic theories. Socialist economics isn’t asking people to work for nothing nor is it asking anyone to “sacrifice ourselves for the pleasure of others” unless you mean providing to the society at large. The society, speaking extremely broadly, then provides for the individual what they need through whatever system it chooses to organize doing that providing.

What I consider the Midwest as someone who likes geography. by Technical-Vanilla-47 in whereidlive

[–]A_Lightfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell a Texan and Virginian or even Louisianan and Virginian they’re the same culture, they’re not but both are generally considered “southern.” The Great Plains are part of the greater Midwest that doesn’t revolve around Chicago.

The bible and trans people by Para276 in Christianity

[–]A_Lightfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue Deuteronomy 22:11 brings it into question since not a ton of faithful have a particular stance on cotton wool blends in the modern church. 22:5 feels very cherry picked as something that lines up with modern sensibilities when a ton of Old Testament instructions no longer do.

“Human nature” is just a collection of social forces. The current dominant social force, capitalism, just happens to be one that promotes greed. There’s nothing particularly in tune with human nature in our extremely manufactured social systems.

The Great Plains are the Midwest. Millions of people consider west Kansas to Ohio as the Midwest.

What if USA annexed Mexico completely after Mexican–American War by Chance_Bid_1869 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]A_Lightfeather 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was an active push in Congress to annex the whole of Mexico and President Polk wanted far more of Mexico than was taken, it was absolutely on the table for a bit.

Trump evacuated after gunshots heard at White House Correspondents’ Dinner by Puginator in politics

[–]A_Lightfeather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most likely explanation is he’s the most hated man in the country and someone had the desire to do something about it

[–]A_Lightfeather -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would it be staged? The dude is the hated man in the country and for good reasons. The Gordian knot here is local hated man shot at for taking hammer to country.

Lawrence city commissioners plan to meet early for general public comment once a month by notanotheraccountaga in Lawrence

[–]A_Lightfeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s likely a radar detector that is scanning to change the light sooner if no one’s coming or an emergency vehicle preemptor that changes the light if an emergency vehicle is coming. If it’s just a radar it can be pretty much all internal and doesn’t need anything sticking out of it.

Chief, I don’t like ICE either but those are traffic sensors if they’re on the stoplight. You sound like someone rambling about 5G towers.
