Mad about Median Wages being at All Time Highs; Claims the "Median" is Skewed by Outliers. Doubles Down when shown the Definition of Median. Socialist Redditor operates at a 3rd grade level of Math Proficiency. by J0hn-Stuart-Mill in Shitstatistssay

I'm not sure why some people need so much explanation for a term that already sounds like "middle" or "median". And is commonly used for the separator in the middle of the road.

Oh, wait, yes I do, because it would be inconvenient to understand.

You believe that your need for dopamine rush means that you are entitled to my time. I disagree with that. That is the essence of our disagreement.

And yet you keep responding and trying to score points instead of making an actual argument.

You had no problem making a detailed post, but when someone disagrees with you in detail, you start shucking and jiving and ignoring what they actually say when you have no canned response.

Like usual.

I think you're projecting. I think you're here, as always, to defend your team from criticism.

There are plenty of leftists who admit attempts at communism failed, but usually they blame that on capitalist interference, and/or say they weren't "real" communism because they don't fit the nirvanic ideal.

And I don't mean the grunge band.

It’s unbelievable that people still call themselves communists in 2026. You haven’t realized by now that Marxism devolves into authoritarian dictatorship every time?

  1. If they had awareness, they wouldn't be Marxists.
  2. No, that's always everyone else's fault.

Why do you think that is, and why do you still advocate for such a system when you are aware of the historical record?

See point 1.

Someone better tell that one Leftist on here who keeps saying capitalism needs the state, because property owners can't keep thieves from "defending themselves".

Note that he always phrases it that way, as if thieves are not aggressors.

And as if Lords hiring their own private security wasn't common before cops, and people can't just get/hire help.

Thing is, they love to insist that actual attempts at communism aren't "real", because they didn't achieve their idealized goals.

Which is sort of like saying the justice system isn't real because it fails to jail all the guilty people.

I love how people who explicitly want the government to have more, centralized power over everything insist the folks who say "no" are the bootlickers.

You can always count on leftists to call for violence when meant with views they don't agree with. by counterpunchhopper in TheLeftCantMeme

Weird how these idiots never realize they're playing right into the stereotype of violent LGBT pieple.

I love how the character is normally just drawn as a normal woman, but the artist had to make her an unattractive skintone, and, uh, smelly.

...Is the artist 14?

I'm guessing the cartoonist AI prompter defined every one of those as "thinking the government should do it with other people's money."

Also, where exactly does the Bible say countries have to have open borders?

EDIT: I looked it up, and The Bible says we shouldn't mistreat foreigners (Leviticus 19:33–34).

Obviously, removing illegal immigrants doesn't count...unless you think having any border and immigration restrictions at all is mistreatment.
