"Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries."





Breakfast All Day posted:

i went to some psl stuff last time around. it seemed to be composed of two groups that interacted very little: one skewing young and largely focused on immediate recession relief re: immigrantion issues, employment, society building (reflected in peta lindsay); the other much older and almost the leftist version of a trumper, angry about a lot of litmus/leverage issues but unable to express them as a coherent whole or domestic platform, e.g., raving mad about the death penalty but indifferent to actionable plans for justice/prison reform or how they relate to employment, regulation of local/state governments

surprisingly few internet stalinists

i met more interesting and informed leftists at green party poo poo but unfortunately they were diluted with, well, everyone else in the green party

overall id call them Pretty lovely Leftists but given the poo poo options that seem likely i may throw my vote away on them again anyway

Thanks for this writeup on leftists in college/university

The only thing is that there are like a dozen variations of socialism so that's not the one true version of socialism or anything and someone else could come along and give a different answer that was also totally legitimate.

beats reading pages of this wankfest

The ideology of communism is imagined by you with no actual knowledge of it.

I never really got into Hardt/Negri's Empire, do they try to apply Marx to 90's globalism, or is it primarily about Gramsci and Deleuze?

Basically move to rural Poughkeepsie, and be prepared to piss against the wind for ten years. Scratch that, until you die.

The channers at r/the_donald hosed with the one sacred thing in Reddit: the kind of weird voting/placement algorithms of the site.

Yeah, but that ceo can't stop making underhanded bullshit. Today they realized that, for every sticky on r/the_donald, two trending stories get removed from r/all. I mean why not just ban that whole subreddit already.
