I got called out for saying this once. At first I was like "what's racist about rice" but when I googled it everything that came up was an explicitly anti-asian meme.

So yeah the word is being used in the west as a racist term so non Asians should reconsider whether using the term helps or hurts their relationships with others within the communities we frequent. I think vigilance is better than ambivalence.

Perfect response. I was reading this thread as it was going down and that comment is legendary, "small government communist" is an evergreen bit. These people are trolls, whether they know it or not

Most of my writing is in pen and paper, I eat through a 200 page composition book about every year. I also do writing on shared drives, like Google docs mostly, and I have grapheme notepad installed on ever electronic device that I own, and I use it fairly often. Something about handwriting makes it easier to get started, maybe its my art/drawing background. I also write in cursive, and people seem to think my handwriting is nice. Admittedly I have practiced letters since grade school, which is kind of unusual I think. Maybe not, I just don't have as many type/font/lettering conversations as I might like

Harlan County, USA is such a good movie. Its fine and cool to be like, "I'm a marxist-leninist-communist" in our little rooms in front of our little screens, but watching a room full of miner's wives cheer when another gets up and says "We have nothing to lose but our chains!" while participating in self-organized worker's councils, it really made me reconsider what it means to be communist.

Also, Norma Rae, a movie about labor organizing starring Sally Fields is the only movie I've encountered that isn't on Amazon to stream. I can stream the 4k remaster of Cannibal Holocaust, I can rent the 1988 revisionist Tank film The Beast. But not a good movie with a famous actress, that would be communism to sell that ig

Its starting to scare me because all these maga people think communism just means authoritarian, so that's what it is: Authoritarian MAGA.

Yeah. I mean I looked at this comprehensive mental health treatment infrastructure, available and accessible to all people in the USA, and I says to myself, "you know, this is all real nice, having all of these specialists working to make sure that people are educated and empowered to make decisions about their own treatment. Now that all stigma around pain management and mental health have been replaced by programs that improve peoples lives, there's no barriers anymore to self actualization. I could be a productive member of society and reap the benefits of my production so as to improve my own life as well as the lives of those around me." But then I figured I could just go get high instead, so now I worship Satan and hate America

I don't believe that a few surgery and silicone enhanced bougie butts would pwn the legions of thicc proletarian posteriors. We're thick like outmeal in these streets, the spoon stand up
