Anglos talking about trains and shit as if the colonizers didn't deindustrialize the place the first chance they got.

They're using fancy words that amount to capitalist realism + analogies around climate change and other forms of overextractive collapse.

I find these kinds of ideas very boring because they amount to a breathtaking lack of imagination. Really, they're saying, "what if every other form of potential intelligent life is just like us?", right down to the use of cities on planets and an infinite growth model for a global society. Cool, great, that's what sci-fi is useful for, you can critique our society from within another one. But as a group trying to be very serious and use the big words...

The Fermi Paradox is best answered by noting that its numbers are pulled out of some old white dudes' asses and so its conclusions mean nothing. If anything, the difference between reality and the numbers game just puts a minimum bound on how wrong the numbers are.

Farrakhan is useful for explaining to white people that black people aren't a monolith. They have so much trouble with this.

In addition to being a famine that was, at most, mismanaged, the term itself is amplified because it sounds a bit like holocaust. In those senses, the discourse that treats it like a genocide is also dabbling in Holocaust denial.

Yeah absolutely monstrous shit.

Yes that's the kind of thing Brace had to endure

lol this sounds like one of the many rumors spread in Cuba by the literal CIA about how the commies are gonna end religion and take your kids.

Hell yeah nice job comrade

Uncritical support for comrade @chamomile

:kitsupogi:

Yeah she's pretty cool

"A better world is possible" is an unfortunately necessary step before anti-imperialism for most. We got a bunch of commies from Bernie's SocDem nonsense and we'll get even more if we become effective at capitalizing on those same sentiments. We should be anti-imperialist and hardliners on it, but Bernie et al provide us with people to radicalize.
