The inverse of Juche Necromancy

Found the clip I was thinking of, this was right after he won the primary

Pretty sure he once talked about how “the end goal is seizing the means of production”

the Democratic Socialists of America, the organization Zohran is apart of, is a big tent left organization that Includes everyone from reformist socialists to Marxist Leninists, to Anarchists and Maoists.

Got any info on that user script? Y’know, just for educational purposes

Good thing I haven’t seen an ad in over a decade

I was Kiki, from Kiki’s Delivery Service! A deceptively complicated costume, Because of how prop heavy it is, but it worked out! (I even had a working transistor radio 😎)

Went to a Halloween party, and even though I’ve been on HRT for awhile, I’m pretty closeted. So this was a big step, and I felt really good about it!

Cover the entire thing in Molle

This is just some fetish shit.

Call me crazy, but I think that’s the joke

Posts you can pinpoint the average Lemmy users age with

“It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism”

Pretty sure that first one is just John Darnielle

The US is largely gearing up for war with Venezuela right now, though

A lot of gringos get stuck on the terrorism thing too :/

African American Vernacular English.

In the US, at least, slang tends to trickle upwards, from People of Color, and/or queer communities, to young people, to your white suburban dad’s Facebook page where culture goes to die

I’ve done this, previously, and while it used to work, it doesn’t seem to work anymore. Unless I’m missing something ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Jessie, what the fuck are you talking about?!

I’m currently running Batocera on a mini PC in the living room. I like that it functions like a console, but I don’t like that it lacks Steam support.

How does Bazzite fare in a livingroom console scenario?

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered someone claiming that queerness is bourgeois, actually. Is that a common claim?

This actually goes back to the USSR in the 30s, where, after a repeal of Tsarist law in the country led to a ~Decade long sexual revolutio.

But Stalin’s rise to power, and subsequent anxieties related to geopolitical isolation and the buildup to WW2, led to a socially reactionary turn, and homosexuality was criminalized.

The reason given by some was that Homosexuality was bourgeoisie decadence.

This is, of course, silly. But that’s a line that persists among some ML parties. For example, in the UK, most ML orgs still hold to this line of thinking. While your pro-lgbt socialist orgs lean heavily Trotskyist.

The word Tankie originates from 1950s British Communist circles. Specifically, it was used by British Communists to derisively describe their comrades who supported the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union.

Images of the Soviet invasion featured a lot of tanks, hence, “Tankie”.

After that died down, the term didn’t come back into use really, until the 2010s, when leftists on the internet started using it in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way. It was fun to bring back a stupid sounding, incredibly niche, British slang word.

At some point the word breached containment and started to be used by liberals, in a very cavilier sort of way. I’ve seen people use Tankie to describe anyone from Marxist-Leninists, to Marxists generally, to Leftists generally, weird right-wingers who converted to Russian Orthodoxy, pro-Palestine activists, mods of Lemmy instances someone doesn’t like.

Shit, I’ve seen literal Anarchist get called Tankies.

Basically, it’s a meaningless nothing word now, that’s a bit like your boomer grandpa who still thinks it’s the Red Scare, calling Joe Biden a Commie Pinko.

So don’t worry about it too much.
