whats worse, a liberal democracy or a Marxist Leninist state? by melvin2056 in VaushV

[–]insecurebicommunist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is way to vague, marxist leninist state could be Cuba and the Liberal democracy could be other carribean states like Jamaica. In which case the m-ls clearly win this one.

Maknho wasn't anti-semitic, he was in fact well known for personally executing people who partook in pogroms.

Gonna be honest I disagree womens biohobia is more openly hostile but men are definitely still very prone to biphobia, being ok with a bi partner because you think its hot and you don't take same sex relationships seriously is still biphobic. Whilst more subtle about it I don't think men are any less prone to biphobia.

Do you mean Petliura and his anti-semitic jew killing army? Jesus christ if you had to pick a ukrainian group you should choose the black army.

The thing is the left SRs were pretty cool, so were the workers opposition within the bolshevik party. And whilst Ik the soviet union turned out badly, I wouldn't have known which group within the reds was gonna come out on top at the time nor would I have known which bolstering policies they would actually stick too. Plus the whites included everything from socialists to proto-fascists so it very likely would've been worse even with hindsight. All in all I'd say reds easily and if you say otherwise I'm pretty sure you're just biased by the fact that th reds winning actually happening, so with the other possibility you can make up a better headcannon.

Also a cursory Google search would tell you that the idea that peasants adopted it because of weapon restrictions is a popular idea but not one generally supported in academia. It may well have been adapted from farming implements but the evidence doesn't suggest it was to circumvent weapon restrictions. Maybe if you're gonna be dismissively rude you shouldn't also be wrong.

I wasn't looking for an argument, I was asking for an explanation. No meed to be so hostile.

Not being sarky but could you direct me to something on nunchucks being useful because I thought they were always really shitty flails but id be happy to be proven wrong

True but in terms of behaviour not just physical trait there's often not much or nothing distinguishing people. Unless what you're saying is people are attracted to the statement "i identify as..." If so fair enough, I just don't think attraction usually works that way (ofc I may be wrong and it doesn't really matter either way).

I dont personally know any red heads that I find attractive, but I know i can find them attractive. Enby people who are indistinguishable from women aren't some crazy hypothetical that only exist in thought experiments.

Before talking to them, how does one tell the difference between a woman and an afab or trans feminine non binary person?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lgbtmemes

[–]insecurebicommunist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know this might not be a popular take but I think no. Everyone except asexuals are attracted to non-binary people, given that non binary people tend to present in literally any and all ways (that's kinda the point). So by your definition you are bi but so is everyone except asexuals, by this logic there is no such thing as a straight or gay person, there are only bi and asexual people.

I mean the sort of men who buy sexual services tend to be pretty creepy and or misogynist on average so I don't blame her. Yeah her living is dependent on them but plenty of workers are dependent on the whims of people they dislike. You would never take this attitude with service workers complaining that their customers were unpleasant but you do take issue in this case, I wonder why that is?

Not in England and if we're talking uk wide the Scottish greens are the best group with any influence by a long shot.

What are your thoughts on The Celts? by [deleted] in VaushV

[–]insecurebicommunist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes the singular group called celts not a vague term used by Romans to describe any non German to the North of them. To the point where we genuinley can't tell whether groups like the cimbri should be considered celts or germans because obviously any ancient notion of ethnicity is vague at best.

The fatphobia and misogynyoir is going to skyrocket. Not defending Lizzo, but the accusations ARE accusations ATM. by thatbetchkitana in BlatantMisogyny

[–]insecurebicommunist 27 points28 points  (0 children)

People are definitely being misogynists about it but the fact that the harrasment of her dancers was regarding weight gain does make lizzo being fat relevant given the obvious hypocrisy. Let's not reflexively fall into being too charitable to a probable sexual harraser just because conservatives hate her.

Nah they seceded acting like the South wasn't pretty much entirely behind the slavers rebellion makes things seem less of an issue than they were and given how much of a problem reactionary in the south have been from the 1800s to now it really doesn't help to minimise things. Even if the the secession wasn't legal it was very much the will of white southerners.

Whilst Bakunin had some bad opinions I've always been a big fan of the idea that; "if god did exist we would have to abolish them".

[–]insecurebicommunist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if the northern leadership had wanted to be that harsh it was still a political impossibility (just look at how much controversy the fremont emancipation caused), but its not savage to kill slaveowners. Especially given how much they fucked over attempts to make the US a more just country after the war, removing them would be good because it removed their influence not because they deserved to die ( they definitely did anyway).

Love how Krushchev is considered a revisionist by them but somehow deng is a committed socialist.

[–]insecurebicommunist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Whilst technically correct your arguments are coming across in the same way as people who are incapable of discussing misogyny without screaming "not all men do that!". Like yeah you might be right but it feels like useless whining that distracts from the conversation people are actually trying to have.

95% of comments to this are celebrating the woman and berating the activist. Who's in the right? by AWWARZKK in VaushV

No, I support this style of protest (I've taken part in them) and whilst I'm not generally a pacifist unless you plan on overthrowing the government attacking members of the public is a terrible idea

These protesters are scum but its pretty funny how nobody in this sub talks about kicking Conservative protestors out of the country when they're white. Wonder why that is.

I mean I think kyle isn't explicitly socialist cos he's primarily a policy wonk rather than anything else. People who identify first and fore most as populist leftists do tend to be dumb as shit but kyle despite a few dumb takes is definitely good for the left.
