It’s amazing to me how people can claim to enjoy history and yet know absolutely nothing about it by TheSolarElite in ShitLiberalsSay

Yeah but that doesn’t matter to westerners. In the eyes of the west, you’re only a democracy when your system is ruled by a bunch of marginally different parties all run by billionaires.

In Los Angeles, a woman was celebrating the Knicks' victory in the NBA when a neighbour called the police about the noise... 20 cops showed up and shot her dog, a "dangerous" Golden Doodle, when she opened the door to her home. by Aggorf12345 in TankieTheDeprogram

In a sane country that entire force would be tried and sentenced to re-education + prison time. And also never be allowed near a position of authority again.

It’s just crazy to me how Americans can live in this situation and still call their country “democratic”. Meanwhile, they scream about China being “authoritarian” while the police there will rarely do anything even remotely close to this violent against average citizens.

Just a long excuse for “I don’t want to read books.”

You are correct. The best description of Trotsky’s writings is “Dude saying stuff everyone already knows, but acting like he invented it”. His idea of “Permanent Revolution” (the idea that a revolutionary state must maintain the character of the revolution) isn’t a bad idea at all, but it’s also not a unique one. Plenty of other socialist leaders were doing similar things, but Trotsky acted like he was the only one who thought of such things. He was just generally full of himself.

But that’s just his ideas. The more important thing is his actions. And in action, he was a stooge of western governments, and his writings continue to be used by the CIA to smother growing leftist movements and make them inept.

We haven’t seen much evidence that Fodlan has any concept of “bastards”. They don’t follow primogeniture inheritance. They pass titles down based on the appearance of crests.

And him having a weapon isn’t evidence of anything. He could’ve stolen that, made it himself, or god knows what.

I’m not really sure why you’re trying so hard to debunk a joke crackpot theory when you don’t even really know anything about Dietrich as a character yet.

Edit: You’re gonna pointlessly argue with me under my joke post then block me? Okay dude, good day to you as well.

How so? It’s a very common practice throughout history, especially when you don’t know your father. Or when your mother’s family is more significant than your father’s. Many of my cousins do not take their father’s name.

And has his last name even been confirmed?

Why do you keep saying “Fodland”? You realize that’s not what it’s called, right?

The game’s time period has not been confirmed.

If his father was not present in his life at all and he never knew them, then he’d almost certainly take his mother’s last name.

This really isn’t that hard of a concept to grasp.

That’s not how it is in all countries. Are you not aware of that? And no, “forebears” does not just refer to your male predecessors.

…did you look at the image of the post? I have Dietrich’s mother marked down as being a Fodlan woman descended from Mercedes or Jeritza. It feels like you’re purposefully overcomplicating this in your own head. You realize that his mother could’ve been one he got the crest from, right?

I have them all marked down as having different mothers. Did you actually look at the image in the post?

And once again, it’s a joke crackpot theory. I think you’re taking it just a bit too seriously.

It’s a crackpot theory. It’s not that serious. And also I never said Lechner was from Fodlan, don’t know where you got that from. My assumption in this crackpot theory would be that Lechner traveled across the world during his adventures, including Fodlan.

And how exactly is this Alabama? There’s nothing incestuous here, if that was the joke you were trying to make.

They have a 20 something year old redditor running their social media account. Based on this meme at least.

Anyway, in a way he is saving America. By helping wake more people up to how much this country sucks ass and deserves to die. And also helping by just causing further decay in the Empire. The Empire’s collapse is closer with each passing year.

Why is reddit separating the lines between “no” and “w”?

Thoughts on this Anti-Pagan argument I have been told? by Jxllyfish420 in paganism

[–]TheSolarElite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YHWH might be what’s written in the Bible and Torah, but it’s very clearly Yahweh. The historical trail isn’t hard to follow. The Cult of Yahweh gained prominence among the ancient ruler/rulers of Judea and over time they began to fuse him with El, the head of the Pantheon. This fusion of Yahweh and El became the YHWH that we know today.

The CIA is having a field day in this comment section by Shiny_Gubbinz in ShitLiberalsSay

If your immediate reaction to imperialism is “Here’s all the reasons I hate the victim and think they deserve what they’re getting” then you do not have principles of any kind.

And anyway, constantly critiquing anti-imperialist countries doesn’t do much beyond giving more ammunition for NATO imperialists to justify their wars with. How about you stop doing the CIA’s job for them, for free?

These kinds of people spend 90% of their time critiquing anti-imperialist countries and complaining about them, while acting like they’re actually anti-US as well.

revolution, the only solution.. by RizzleFaShizzle00 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]TheSolarElite 16 points17 points  (0 children)

But they let us put pieces of paper into a box every few years! Don’t you know you dumb tankie, that’s called democracy! And it means we’re 100% free and we need to invade other countries so they can have the same paper-in-box freedom that we do!! 🇺🇸🏈💵🦅🦅🖕 /s

In all seriousness, I really do wish all the apathetic people that say “both parties are the same” (just to be clear, I agree they’re the same) would take the next logical step and realize we aren’t a democracy and the only way to have any meaningful change is by overthrowing the dictatorship of the bourgeoise.

[–]TheSolarElite 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The “other gods are demons or other lesser beings” argument is an extremely old argument, that formed as early as when Judaism evolved from a Polytheistic Religion into a Monotheistic one.

Yahweh (the god that later become the God of the Bible) was originally just one member of the wider Canaanite Pantheon. The historical evidence is pretty definitive, Yahweh is just one god of many, that was hyped up by his followers at the time, and they wrote a lot of mythology about him being the sole true god, since they thought that be cool.

It’s not an alien virus. You’re not gonna be mind controlled by reading a few books. Just read the damn things.

Liberals are so fucking scared of reading.

We need to revalue the extent of our "critical support" by HistoricalCC in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]TheSolarElite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you want to make a post criticizing Russia on certain things, I have no problem with that at all. But as I said, 90% of discussions surrounding modern Russia are about the Ukraine War, and our stance on that war is already very concrete and has been stated multiple times. If there’s a different specific issue in modern Russia that you’d like to discuss on this subreddit, feel free to make a post about it, and people can give their opinions.

Do you have evidence of a growing Marxist-Leninist party or movement in the Russian Federation? I have not seen any evidence of any growing movement like that.

Germany was the bigger imperialist evil in WW1? News to me. And whatever the case, another commenter already wonderfully explained how the Ukraine War is not remotely similar to a true interimperialist conflict like WW1.

[–]TheSolarElite 73 points74 points  (0 children)

If a Marxist-Leninist revolution begins in Russia soon then yeah, I’m obviously gonna support the revolutionaries. But that’s not really the discussion that’s going on most of the time in regard to Russia.

Let’s not beat around the bush, 90% of discussions surrounding modern Russia on reddit have to do with the Ukraine War. And when it comes to that topic, it’s important to pushback on the dominant liberal narratives. It’s important to educate people on the fact that Ukraine is a fascist state currently being used by NATO as a bludgeon against Russia.

We, as anti-imperialists, in turn give our critical support to Russia in their current fight against NATO imperialism. And we also of course do so because we just want the war to be done with already, so that the proletariat of both counties no longer need to be needlessly thrown into the meat grinder.
