QuietCupcake [any, they/them]

According to some in here (even hexbears?!? blech), the genocide perpetrator you know is always better than the one you don’t, so yeah, you’d better for the one you already know is committing a genocide to reduce harm. That’s just facts and logic.

I’m not sure where the lines are in these definitions, or how much the difference really matters but I’m hoping he will be remembered not just as an enabler but as a direct accomplice, which he is. He could have chosen to stop it at any point, instead he has goaded it on and knowingly, unhesitatingly provided the material means to perpetrate it.

Melina in shambles.

man I would love to play this with comrades from hexbear and l’grad!

jealous cupcake.

I’ve never played before but I’ve been interested in trying it for a few year. Problem is I only have a shitty connection and would be playing on a PS4. Would it still work for me to join? I know some online games are still mostly playable even with a bad internet connection, while others are just impossible due to lag. (I get knocked offline a few times per day and I often have to downgrade a streaming video from 720p to 480p to prevent unwatchable amounts of buffering, to give you an idea). I don’t have the game yet, so I’m not sure how much any of that makes a difference. I think I’d have to buy the PS4’s monthly subscription to be able to play it online too, damnit.

TIL far left is when you parrot the US State Dept line, shit on AES countries, and use the terms “tankie” and “authoritarianism” unironically.

Came here wondering the same. Saw Pluto’s 2 month old crosspost in the modlog, deleted for “links to revisionist hellhole” and was like… “wait, they’re calling hexbear revisionist? lol.” I mean, weirdos raging at hexbear isn’t new or surprising to me, but revisionism isn’t an accusation I expected to see levied at the place.

And don’t get out of bed for weeks?

It’s been funny reading this thread and seeing some hexbears that are just now having the misfortune of being exposed to the that is NAFO for the first time.

In the newsmega we’ve been coping with the by dunking on them for 2 years now.

I think it still has highest number of posts and comments per day or something? It’s no longer the highest number in terms of users, but there is some basic metric of activity where hexbear still is quantifiably at the top. But anyway you’re right about the quality, that’s what’s important.

Also, using encryption “as cover” makes all the difference here. It’s massively consequential as this news story makes obvious. The person you’re responding to is just being obtuse.

Also yes onus is on the Proletariat

Wait, are you joking? That is the opposite of what Pluto said…

It’s been a fun while trying to figure out if I’m suffering from depression or just being understandably negative

Not at all mutually exclusive.

I was with you until the last paragraph. It is correct to say that state capitalism as defined by ultras is something that can exist, for as you said, if you switched the major corporations’ boards of trustees with de facto heads of state (and did nothing else to change the relationship workers have to the means of production) then that’s essentially what you would have: state capitalism. Given the revolving door that sees CEOs becoming politicians, that’s not too far off from a lot of our so-called liberal democracies we actually have in the west, it’s just that a pretense of a delineation between the two (as well as a pretense of public approval) is maintained.

But the key thing to understand here is the part about the worker’s relationship to the means of production. As robin_IV already explained, the state is simply the tool that the ruling class uses to enforce its interests. It makes no sense to say that the state “should not be getting all that power over the workers” if it is the workers who are the ones wielding the state. And that is definitely desirable! It’s what we desire as communists who recognize we can’t achieve a classless society in one fell swoop.

I refuse to use the “real” version of that shit website and will only use nitter frontends even though they’re mostly dead now and it can be a minor pain to find a working one. For what it’s worth, nitter.no-logs.com just worked for me to view that thread though.

Zionists deserve much worse than “less interesting” matches.

The rare case where youtube comments are mostly good (and taking the dipshits in the video to task).

The Deprogram (podcast) were using Trump and Biden AI-generated voices to talk to each other and do some bits and hock their merch. I thought it was pretty funny. I wonder if they were using the same service. I guess there are alternatives like Plinky suggested, but yeah pretty lame and hypocritical of the liberal freeze peach worship pretense.

Edit: The very beginning of episode 109 - All Presidents Are War Criminals #2 or #3. You’ll never guess who makes a guest appearance and shows his hog.
