Nationalism is poison. They may feel at the moment it’s less dangerous than the Russian invasion but I am not so sure.

There is a huge space between free speech absolutism and not banning people for not 100% kowtowing to your hyper-specific and extremely unpopular, historically revisionist political movement.

Well, some people lack skepticism and the ability to do their own research so they are more susceptible to groupthink, unfortunately.

This isn’t really about socialism anyway. They’re not even advocating for socialism. Just a totalitarian state. If you look at the history of socialism it was always an anti-state movement, and its original thinkers would be disturbed by those who claim its mantle but argue for oppression instead of liberation.

It purports to be.

Your second point is fair but again I also agree it’s bad to do that.

Well as long as you’re fine with the rest of the world viewing you as cultists who can’t tolerate being exposed to outside ideas then I guess there’s no issue. But that’s not a model for a very successful political movement.

For the record I also think it’s stupid for communists to be banned for wrongthink but I personally haven’t observed that too often outside of outright fascist spaces.

Well it’s fucking stupid and it makes everyone hate them and think that their ideas can’t withstand outside scrutiny.

Well tell your mods to stop acting like fools then. Their thought policing makes no sense unless you have some “objective” sense that their exact understanding of the world is correct.

Yeah that’s generally how ideology works lmao.

Not us though! Our god personally instructed us on the sacred sciences. It’s not subjective at all.

Fair I agree it’s overhyped. But to be honest the amount I think it’s overhyped continues to decline as its capabilities continue to advance. And we’re at a point now where it is clearly useful for many tasks, even if it’s not appropriate for everything.

Bad look for Claude after their vigorous insistence their model can’t be used this way.

Also bad look for the 50 people I get in my inbox telling me AI is completely useless every time I talk about it. These arguments were worthy of entertainment a few years ago but not in 2026.

This just seems to be an explanation of the details of the deal. What specifically are you referring to here?

Not to mention that political pundits don’t typically share the views of ordinary Americans.

I think most Americans are happy to see the war, which they never supported to begin with, coming to an end.

Who is asking for more imperialism?

I never said it did, but it does underline the need for careful tactics that minimize civilian harm.

Sounds like this one was successful in that which is good.

Don’t oil refineries have civilians working in them?

Sounds like you literally did break the rules but wringthink rules are stupid, I don’t care what everyone else thinks. PTB.

Also, people, you’re not supposed to be arguing about the politics in question here. Stay on topic.

Who doesn’t, honestly? If there’s one thing people of all political stripes can agree on it’s that liberals are annoying.

Is this even in question? Anarchism quite clearly fits within the sphere of libertarian ideas.

The weird part is thinking that’s a bad thing or somehow incompatible with leftism.

True but I still think other leftists are their closest ideological neighbors. We still agree on things like trans rights, that everyone should have economic security, etc. So despite some big differences I think what I wrote is true.

Plus you can also just look at how they treat the different sects within the tankie sphere and it’s not much different lol.

Step 1: Consume brainrotted memes instead of studying real history

Step 2: Insult all the people who share most of my values and are closest to me ideologically

Step 3: ???

Step 4: profit revolution

No way this plan could fail.
