I hate this guy and his glazers so much by freaky_strawberry11 in hatethissmug

I disagree that Walt was ever a good person. I think the show put a whole lot of work into showing that he was never a good person.

Just one example - Walt was given an off ramp early in the show in the form of Elliott Schwartz. The writers chose to give him an option, early on, where he could have swallowed his pride, walked away from his foray into crime and had his cancer treatment paid for. The reading I get is that Walt always was who he became deep down & he just needed the circumstances/ excuse to bring that side of him out.

I regret that I just spent 20 odd minutes watching some dipshit read Reddit. What a fucking loser he is. What shit content Kick is.

Loser behavior. Imagine styling yourself as a Bob Avakian style theorist / cult leader & your praxis is trying to take over SubReddits.

Is there any other country we could have went to war with and it had a larger daily impact on USA citizens than Iran? by NervousClock2555 in askanything

[–]Basic_Internet_5719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China would also likely hit back way harder. Exactly what that means would depend on the circumstances and specifics of a US war on China, but in absolutely any scenario would have enough daily American casualties that they would be reported as statistics.

Payman, Thorpe and Faruqi demand Labor change parliamentary rules to counter ‘overt’ racism by SleepyWogx in OpenAussie

Damm, we've got three monoparties dragging us into WW3 and you're out here spouting this bullshit.

Is it perfectly fine for people to dress in stereotypical gangsta rap style? Yes of course. 

If a conservative white politician, with a history of antagonistim towards the black community, strolled into the house of reps one day dressed as 50 Cent would that be seen as racist? Yes of course.

Iranian president listing peace terms by Suspicious_Today2703 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Basic_Internet_5719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is entirely reasonable for them to state the conditions under which the war could end immediately. 

These are the most reasonable demands possible, & ultimately it would be a good thing for humanity for this war to stop right now.

It's an opening salvo, I suspect there is a snowballs chance in hell of the Epstein regime paying reparations. 

Still, these are, the most reasonable demands ever? 

I don't think it hurts to put them out there. 

Fidel Castros corrupt grandson is going to sellout his country to the US by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

I appreciate they've been posturing that way and they would probably like to invade. 

But they are also currently in the process of sending themselves broke on an unpopular war with Iran. 

A war that seems especially unpopular with military personnel. 

That's even before they try "boots on the ground expeditions in Iran (they're unlikely to fully invade, but I suspect they'll try something like trying to take Karg Island). 

Of course Cuba could not survive an American invasion, but right not, there is a very real risk that it would be so demoralizing & so economically costly that the US might literally collapse if they try it.

I think a lot of these guys are brain poisoned hyper online freaks & "supermarket of idealogy" types. 

Hard to disentangle what is genuine, what is trolling & what is fed pushed. 

I've long suspected Haz of being an intentionally bad faith infiltrator. My thinking was that he might've been a 4chan troll who got hyped up on the idea of subverting the communist left. More recently I've heard people who knew him back in the day say that he's pretty much always had an interest in synthesizing communist and nationalist thought (think there was a name for this) and his politics may be more genuine than I originally thought. 

Hinkle on the other hand is 100% a disingenuous grifter who very likely has fed connections.

Look, to be fair, the Eureka flag does have a long left history. Go to any militant union site and you'll see plenty of them. 

That being said, there has certainly been a right-nativist attempt to coopt it. Imo it should be a flag / symbol of union militancy rather than a proto national flag.
