That shit is a goddamn miracle though, can save almost any dish from blandness. I think it's justified.

I don't think they can make them too complicated, because they're a tool designed to be used in the dark, so having a complex UI would make it really difficult to use (even if you're a big brained alpha chad man)

Libs really struggle with this concept. I have no idea why. I guess because it brings their cognitive dissonance to the forefront and they can't ignore it anymore. It's especially sad with "leftist" libs who will understand the US and their alphabet agencies are bad, but will still uncritically accept everything they tell them about socialist countries.

Complicated UI? It's a torch, or "flashlight" as this guy calls it. It has like, 2 buttons at most, maybe a button and a twisty thing on the end. I don't think this guy knows what "complicated" or "ui" means.

"Undecided" in situations like this just means "temporarily embarrassed fascist."

I only just noticed:

I think this article (unintentionally) shows off the core of why libs need people to vote for their party. They have attached their sense of self-worth and morality to the idea of "supporting good team government" and can't handle the idea that they are wrong about that. So they need people to vote for their team lest they are forced to consider whether it is a wrong choice to do so, and that makes them deeply uncomfortable.

It's almost like when they say "Christianity" what they mean is "white people" and it is just thinly veiled racism...

So there's this conspiracy theory about the bourgeois being lizard people and climate change is actually them terraforming earth to be more to their liking.

I've never seriously considered such an absurd idea, but considering that we are at a critical time for climate change and their response is to accelerate it makes me think there may be something to this...

The capitalists would win because the socialists would be all destroying themselves.

I love that these are all just generic "books" not like, anything specific.

I think this shows the tendency we all have to assume everyone else is like us, and our enemies to be like us, but worse. So if your average CHUD never reads, they assume that their enemies never read even more.

 

I'm just happy to see that someone read something I wrote and feel like they deserve to be seen for that.

 

Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. Been discussing stuff with MLs of all stripes recently, and have come across a common statement used by a lot of Maoists which frustrates me.

They seem to always fall back on statements like "The CPC allows billionaires in their ranks, so they are revisionist."

Maoists have often used this as a kind of "gotcha" argument against more traditional MLs, or "Dengists" as they love to label us.

It's frustrating, because...I don't disagree really, allowing members of the bourgeoisie to hold political power is pretty much the definition of revisionism. The problem is, this feels more like a way to silence dissent or discussion rather than facilitate it. Feels like an overly simplistic hard line that simplifies history into binary divisions. Often followed by an implied "China is revisionist, therefore Maoism is the only working form of socialism."

I'm reaching out to people to see if anyone has any ways to combat this, in a way that encourages discussion rather than it just devolving into insults or truisms hurled back and forth without thought.
