We should experiment more with social and economic models to see which works best, setting up a series of model communities that are communist, fascist, anarcho-capitalist, matriarichal, all-gay etc...

Maybe the American version of communism would be to just make it so that all the big companies are owned via stocks by ordinary americans instead of big institutions and a handful of capitalists

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are radical as gently caress. So were the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and whatever the series was right after the movie.

I don't watch trailers really so I have no opinion on whether the upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie will be radical.

E: Sonic was radical in the 90s and some may argue had a brief resurgence of radical in the Dreamcast era, however this case study proves that radical attitude, or "raditude", can and does evaporate over time.

Thank you, friend. This is why I don't watch trailers outside of an actual movie theater, if a movie looks sweet or awful I'll hear about it from friends or cultural osmosis, I'm sure as hell not going to things on opening night.

That was a radical post you made, informing me of how bad this movie looks.

tickape gonna get real

heres a list

FEMINISM:
-my views of feminism are basically everything here, here, here, here (this one is good for a quick read. i apologize that its a tumblr)
-NOT a libfem. gently caress libfems. individual empowerment is dumb, what we need is widespread analysis and action

RACISM:
-i support the black panthers, malcolm x is one of my favorite historical figures
-i support black lives matter
-anti-police brutality
-pro black-empowerment
-this book shaped most of my views. yall should read it, it's eye-opening

POLITICAL AFFILIATION:
-strong democrat (support abortion/planned parenthood, social welfare, lgbtq+ rights, believe we should focus on climate change, etc)
-i supported bernie sanders, when he lost i voted for hillary clinton
-anti-trump, i support the rallies and protests going on right now
-i absolutely believe barack obama was the best president we've ever had
-im a cultural muslim and first generation pakistani-american, 100% support immigrants and refugees
-i do not support isis
-pro-palestine. hate zionism

RELIGION
-strong atheist although i think religion can be a great outlet for many people
-i have no issue with people practicing it, in fact i admire it
-i draw the line when it becomes harmful to other people
-not a bitter preachy atheist, very reserved and to myself
-know plenty about christianity and islam, consider all three abrahamic religions to be very similar
-differences in the religions reside in the different economic states and allowance of reformation depending on the region and law (aka: the west is reformed because christianity had no law against reformation and reformation only occurs with financial prosperity, islam didnt reform because a majority of islamic countries either 1) emphasize the anti-reformation law or 2) do not have the economy to make room for social reformation)
-i hope for islam to reform. most western muslims have already reformed subconsciously, for instance, me and my family

i'll probably regret taking this thread seriously but i just felt like doin it tbh, it seemed like a fun thing to do

We should expand the death penalty to include at least: 1st degree murder, pedophilia, human trafficking, drug trafficking , everything on this list, rape, and terrorism if the cases pass a certain threshold of proof. The sentences should also be carried out within a week.

If they don't pass the threshold (You murdered a crowd of people, left your cum all over a dead body, you had a bomb workshop in your attic, etc) you get a sentence in a labor camp and have a chance to appeal

Instead of killing people, we should just ship them off to one of those empty Russian gulags. It's probably waay cheaper to house them there plus it's not like they can escape

I think it makes no sense that we are such a strong ally to Israel. I'm not saying we should be enemies, but the strength of our alliance doesn't make sense to me. How would we be worse off if we cut ties off with such a small country?

I don't think we should cut off ties but I do agree that it's weird how invested we are in them (Think it has a lot to do with christian identity but also a lot to do with geopolitcal stuff where we're scared about isreal falling and them shooting nukes everywhere at the end, idk really). We should defs keep selling them weapons though. imo.

Also related to the nazi punching thread but i'm not in the mood to argue so i'll post it here:

Punching Nazis is cool, punching Antifa is cool but the government should be the ones doing the punching :colbert:

No company present or future will prioritize customer service unless it is more profitable than not doing it. People need to fly, they will do it whether they are crammed in like a sardine or treated like a king. There is no financial incentive to make flying more pleasant so we are going to continue seeing new planes cramming the most people possible into the most minimally comfortable seats they can find.

I helped campaign for Obama and I was a die-hard Bernie supporter. When he backed Hillary Clinton, I couldn’t get behind it.

Both my parents are engineers. My mom was an engineer long before many women in the field. When the economy started faltering, she went from a very high position at Pratt & Whitney to being unemployed for a year, and that was heartbreaking. I think that Trump really cares about having high-skilled jobs back here, not necessarily the service industry.

Do I think Trump’s trying to send women back to the kitchen? No, his daughter is a great example. She ran the women-who-work campaign long before he ran for president.
