This right here is the good stuff

This guy looks like a real life paladin. Tiktok NPC should try taking notes instead of Ls

You’re right thanks! Late night brain moment

You’re right, thanks for the correction

Fun fact, that big gash is called Valles Marineris and it’s the deepest canyon in the solar system.

There’s probably nothing scary in there…

Edit: largest not deepest, this is what I get for staying up too late

Fully cooked. Is it possible to come back from whatever place this is?..

I think you hit the nail on the head, yeah. I’m of the same opinion.

I’ve seen some militant MLs drag the DSA and progressive politicians as “sheepdogs”, which personally I think does us a disservice. It’s understandable for people to have a dim view of incremental change. But in my mind, we need to attack the status quo from as many angles as we can, within the system and without.

“Failed” meaning “refused”. And…

… has instead launched a lawsuit against the committee arguing that it does not have the authority to compel him to turn over non-disclosure agreements.

Now why would they go and do a thing like that?

… But earlier this week, the House passed government funding through Dec. 11 – clearing the speaker’s top legislative priority ahead of the election.

Oh. Hmm. There’s gotta be more to it than just that, right?

B-but they even linked to the Wikipedia page where Plato said the thing… that’s the most authoritative source 🤔

Yeah, that was my understanding too… there’s an inherent mismatch. Thanks for chipping in

Ha, thanks for the input. Some people just say whatever they want… I am trying to get better at knowing when to walk away.

None of these words are in the Bible

You did such a good job, you deserve headpats

The other day, someone asserted to me that the definition of anarchism must rest on Plato’s conception of anarchy with no rules or government whatsoever, where everyone is only out for themselves. And that anarchism must necessarily also be an umbrella term which covers not only the aforementioned, but also “shitty takes” like anarcho-capitalism (US libertarianism) as well as the “modern” anarchism we discuss in spaces like this.

I didn’t really have the wherewithal to address this other than voice my vehement disagreement. It just felt… prescriptive in a very weird way, at best, and at worst, a bad-faith justification to tie the concept of anarchism as we understand it to its most unfortunate “iterations”.

I’m curious to hear others’ thoughts on this. Is there merit to such an argument? Was I just getting trolled?

Thanks for the info

We all know how much they hate libs, it’s their most-used pejorative. To be fair though, establishment liberals (eg Schumer) are part of the reason we’re in this mess… I can’t say I hold them in high regard either.

I appreciate you

AOC isn’t left enough for many MLs and neither is the DSA, sadly.

Sadly a feature, not a bug, of these christofascists currently in power. See Ted Cruz’s interview where he discusses our “biblical imperative” to support Israel, or the “holy war” narrative the army was trying to push when the not-war started.
