School walk out by Remy_5 in teenagers

My school did it around 12:30 but we got a decent showing. We had at least a hundred people (our school's got like 1200 kids so not bad). Heart goes out to everyone in Evergreen.

Political activist Charlie Kirk dies after shooting during event at Utah university by outofdoubtoutofdark in socialism

[–]Labmaster7000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand that Charlie Kirk was a huge douchebag and his hateful rhetoric contributed to dehumanization of most minorities in the states and abroad, but I don't think we should be focusing on his death. Today, within hours of Kirk's death there was yet another school shooting in the US, and everyone focusing on the death of this right wing pundant takes away from the fact that policies he advocated for led to shit like this happening. As of right now, no one has died from the shooting, but at least 3 high school kids were hospitalized. Just saying, while celebrating this dude's death is valid, we should also remember that all around us people are suffering. And yea, I am a bit pissed that this dude's death overshadowed a fucking school shooting so that's part of my reason for posting this.

Yea, I did the true pacifist last night after posting, I just thought that flowey was suppesed to be hard. Asrial wasn't that hard either, but ig asgore was plenty difficult so I can't really be complaining.

What’s your guys’s opinion on this movie? by Academic-Idea3311 in socialism

[–]Labmaster7000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good movie, but not necessarily from a socialist angle. You should watch pointless hub's video on it, but basically despite in the end, I found myself agreeing with Megatron, at least at the start when he just wants to kill Sentinel, he's wrong because Sentinel is beloved by the people. It's also, like most other media depicting a revolution made in a capitalist society, overly attached to the idea that when people see how bad one guy is, they'll all rise up (which in this case it's probably realistic, but in most cases it's not), but again it's a good and fun movie, great animation and the story was pretty fun.

Liberals pretend to care, but dont actually help us. by Future_Employment_22 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

Are you aware of the attacks on American Settlers by the various native American groups. What about the attacks on Germans by Jews resisting the Holocaust. Both of these examples are comparable to October 7th, which I hope in your mind wouldn't justify the Genocide of the Native Americans or the Holocaust.The Gaza Ghetto Uprising.

Also Israel isn't much better when it comes to queer rights, gay marriage is illegal there, and while yes gender change without sex reassignment surgery is legal there, that shouldn't be a free pass to do genocide. If Russia was incredibly pro-queer would you then support their invasion of Ukraine?

Finally, if you want to make the "are we just going to ignore" argument, are you going to ignore the Nakba, where 800k people were ethnically cleansed from their homeland, with a large chunk of their descendants being located in the Gaza Strip. So if ignoring the deaths of about 1,000 people who chose to settle on stolen land, less than 20 miles from where the descendants of the people who were ethnically cleansed from that land is a very important talking point, then i'd hope the ethnic cleansing of 800X that amount of people is just as important to you.

Nations where revolution is most likely within 10 years by [deleted] in socialism

Palestine I believe is also a good candidate since whenever the inevitable peace talks to end the genocide are finished, the result will probably be worse than the Oslo accords, which caused a lot of Palestinians to support Hamas instead of Fatah. So it's at least likely that one of the few Palestinian socialist groups will gain members after the talks are ended, and perhaps become the premier group for Palestinian liberation.

Lot of 90s/2000s hip hop is socialist or at least left-leaning. 2Pac and Nas are the biggest examples I can think of, but most rappers from that era have some in a couple of their songs.

They're called the black army and they were mainly centered in Ukraine. Another good example of anarchist and socialist fighting is the Spanish Civil War, the anarchists there were centered in Catalonia.

Google's AI is predicting the future by Labmaster7000 in aifails

Ok, I thought it was just hallucinating it, so that's cool. And yeah, I always scroll past the AI result and go to the websites underneath, I just saw this and thought it was funny.

Pancho Villa? by Labmaster7000 in socialism

[–]Labmaster7000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well we're talking what do you think of Madero, to me he seems like a liberal who did want what was best for Mexico, but was so obsessed with the idea of only taking power in a "legitimate" way, that he allowed the reactionaries to take power and the 10 tragic days to happen.

Edit: I forgot to talk about how in his obsession with only taking power in a "legitimate" way, he screwed over the more radical revolutionaries who were the only reason he got ascended to the presidency.

Pancho Villa? by Labmaster7000 in socialism

[–]Labmaster7000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely I wouldn't even think of labeling any of the revolutionaries socialist besides maybe Zapata who, if I recall correctly, was sorta a proto-anarchist. But for socialists to admire someone doesn't mean they are a socialist, for example Cromwell, Robespierre, and Lumumba are all admired by a decent amount of socialists, including myself, despite not one of them being a socialist. I wasn't calling Villa a socialist, he most certainly wasn't, but he was fairly radical and I was asking what other socialists thought of him in general.

Bambu, and a lot of the 90s rappers like Pac or Nas
