in the report xi referred to a new principal contradiction: one between the needs of the people and unequal and unbalanced development. this is a direct line to mao zedong thought and an implication the party will be turning to inequality now that the anti-poverty campaign is nearly finished

coincidentally it's a confirmation of the exact thing i said would happen

you stupid oval office

you stupid, stupid oval office, you don't understand a drat thing

you loving idiot, this doesn't even have anything to DO with you, FUCKSTAIN

It's not "being made fun of" that I object to, you illiterate retarded loving shitstain CUNTRAG. I know how that works, imbecile. Pay loving attention.

It's absolute morons like you who think there's such a thing as "bad posting" - define it, you can't (and don't just quote this post or say 'anything you ever posted' because that's the loving worst cop-out since Fatal Attraction) - and repeat the word "unfunny" like a mantra because there's literally NOTHING ELSE you can possibly use, and it's vague enough that it's basically meaningless anyway. I'm a white-noise poster and best AND at worst. I always was. And you loving well know it, you oval office. YOU KNOW IT. I never posted anything that anyone could possibly have remembered the following day. Somehow that means I deserve to be banned. Twice in one week.

It's absolute morons like you who loving scream at me for trying to stop the threadshitting instead of screaming at the loving threadshitter himself. I KNOW you don't loving care, you stupid oval office, I DON'T WANT YOU TO CARE. How can you possibly think I want you to care, you dumb motherfucker? I was trying to make Sawfish boy stop loving making GBS threads up every thread he can find me in. That is all I ever wanted, and you think I'm the villain for it. All anyone ever had to do was leave me the gently caress alone, but you loving CAN'T, and you know why? Because I was always going to take the loving fall because that's how the cards are stacked. I'm obviously getting banned, quite possibly permabanned, and all because some cunts happened to be bored. Why leave me alone when you can cause a massive burnout/meltdown?

How the gently caress DARE you scream at ME for taking exception to being loving stalked so I can be used as a shitposting Judas Goat? How the gently caress DARE YOU make ME the loving bad guy in this scenario?

And of course, long posts like this are sneered at too. "LOL YOU CARE ABOUT AN INTERNET FORUM". Yeah, well, guess what, YOU'RE ALSO POSTING ON AN INTERNET FORUM, IDIOT. You wouldn't have posted that despicable poo poo if you didn't also care. Besides, I've got a good reason to care. Two, actually. One: I was enjoying posting here and reading the politcal cartoon thread. It was funny. It was a fun thing to do. And then people like Flub ruined it, ruined this thread for everyone, but hey: he'll probably get loving Plat for getting me banned. More importantly, this is a pay forum. $10 for being kicked in the teeth by a oval office with a red avatar and then get punished for being kicked in the teeth by a oval office with a red avatar. In a sane world I'd get a refund for this poo poo.

But that's how the Internet works, you see. It's loving highschool again, only with the classes removed and just the social power structures left. The original jocks don't post on the Internet of course, because they're too jogging around cities wearing suits and barking into iPhones, but the nerds are in their element. They can finally become the popular jocks. They can finally be top of the league, the tormentors instead of the tormented. And so it goes that the nerds themselves divide in exactly the same way, with the most ruthless, least intelligent-seeming at the top.

And under these auspices we all bathe in a ceaseless carnival of negativity, because obviously negativity is what's cool. A Spore creature shaped like a lynched black man? YOU HAVE MY LOLS GOON SIR. Here's a picture of a decapitated baby! EDGY! It doesn't need a point! It just needs to be pointlessly offensive! Here's Hitler dressed as a pimp standing over a Jewish grave! You know, if the Holocaust were inherently funny, they wouldn't have had the Nuremburg Trials. See, that's black comedy. Not just yelling THE HOLOCAUST! LOL! These are the criteria under which I'm judged to be "unfunny" (which assumes I was trying to be funny in the first place, which I usually wasn't, even).

Basically what I'm saying is the Internet is poo poo, but it's mostly tolerable except when you get victimised and then victimised again on top of that. The one thing that does amuse me is the strange conviction that no-one here has ever heard the phrase "eat a bowl of gently caress" before.

I hope you loving die, Axelblaze, you piece of poo poo. You're scum. You're the worst in the room. You see someone being kicked to death and punch him for yelling "Stop". If I could, I'd beat my $10 out of you personally through the monitor screen. No less than I deserve.

Obviously no-one read any of this. Mostly you'll have just barked at print and subconsciously translated it into . Which, to be far, is accurate - why do you think I picked the name "Hans Asperger"? - but not adequate. I don't think. (The fact that I've made most of your criticisms of this post already probably won't stop you from making them again like you're really loving original and witty; it didn't last time)* The only reason I bother posting all of this is, as I said, I'm obviously getting banned for Flub's threadshitting, so nothing matters and I might as well post a gigatic rant against everything that's wrong with the Internet. That's why I posted the first one, by the way. Anyway, quote this eight hundred times, take a vote on who's going to buy flublandDrussiavelt (or whatever) Plat. Hell, get him Archives too. Just send him a loving cash prize. Congratulations, fishman: you're the biggest gently caress in the room. Wasn't this thread about political cartoons once instead of being about me? Ah, well. It's obviously entirely my fault for one reason or another.

Ah okay that's a little better. Just not a good look all-in-all

although I have been interested in the number of people who have said "okay gently caress liberalism" since a) Trump's campaign got going in earnest b) Trump won

The left's typical method has been to brazen out errors; then, as long as possible after any dust has settled, remark en passant that 'of course', everyone knows 'mistakes were made', back in the mists of time.

it's a good book so far, though you'll need to be a big boy about intimations that the career of joseph 'b j blazcowicz' stalin didn't end so well

lol just ran across this trots.txt letter to the LRB bemoaning Hobsbawm's failure to sell his party newspaper

quote:

As a Lifelong Member of the SWP . . .

What Perry Anderson misses (LRB, 3 October) is a most surprising admission by Eric Hobsbawm. Having read his books and heard him speak over many decades I knew that Hobsbawm remained a Communist Party member and assumed, as a lifelong member of the SWP, that he must do some of the things that I did, and do. Namely, go to branch meetings, relate to strikes by visiting picket lines and sell a socialist paper. However, it seems he did none of this, not just after 1956 but before as well. Indeed he manages to get the date when the Daily Worker changed its name to the Morning Star wrong by ten years – 1956 for 1966 – so detached was he from selling the daily paper of the Party of which he was a member.

This explains, on the one hand, how Hobsbawm had the time to write such marvellous socialist history. It also explains how he came to be so closely associated with the anti-socialist politics of Marxism Today.
