do dota

Like dodgeball and softball and shit it’s hard but you also make friends

Try community sports especially goofy coed ones

Schildi Chat is probably the best client I have spotted, full voice and video chat functionality in browser. People do way less hemming and hawing about downloading an app if they’ve already been able to try it out in web - just like discord

Was reading from this cute paper RAND just wrote about the possibility of US national renewal to my buddy on the phone last night it’s a real nice chaser to explaining the key reasons the USSR was crushed when it still had the potential to “muddy along” for years, which still held the possibility of a political and economic renewal. Like a lot of spooky writing it’s a smooth mix of valuable or pertinent information, blatant lies, and misrepresentation that borders on self parody and projection.

It does not in fact reckon with the reason the USSR and the British empire both fell apart, the damn United States lol

Folks I don’t think we’re getting real industrial policy. We’re getting more of the fourth reich. Easy bet I know

I think it’s cute that Ken Klippenstein has such a reaction to the statement that came out of the Iranians post Soleimani’s assassination, that the west has no heroes, only cartoon characters. He cannot help but compare the dead Iranian president to Wily [sic] Coyote. Of course they’re wrong, we have sports champions and movie stars as well. And when they die in a helicopter or car crash it is absolutely not like Wily [sic] Coyote, no matter their personal statements or beliefs.

never ask members of the communist party of the philippines why joma maria sison called for attacks on BRI projects which were simultaneously sanctioned by the philippine govt and the USA from the netherlands worst mistake of my life

LGBTQ+ issues

ah yes like the dozens of times you jumped at mistranslations of things like PE programs or shutting down creepy idol businesses that exploited their employees and tried to act like a country that put gay hookup apps on the map with blued was cracking down on homosexuality or literally again because of a translation thought they were banning being a femboy

yeah why is nobody taking your concerns seriously when you again post a guardian or scmp article which uses manipulative language to bait you

you can only imply there is a subtle backlash against lgbt rights in china because the reality is if you compared hate crime statistics you would realize they don’t need western gay rights organizations to stamp out the problem and you’re blowing hot air

if there was any consistency to zizek and other “psychoanalysts” they would come up with a convoluted explanation for the psychological condition that causes leftists (hopefully meaning people interested in decolonization and antiimperialism) to delude themselves into thinking zizek and the onion are on their side, but not the leaders of the few countries in the world supporting the palestinian struggle for liberation

perhaps you don’t believe there is any revolutionary potential in iran and it’s better off a crumpled up state like libya, where pure leftism can finally emerge from the ashes. i like seeing people slosh around from third worldism to anarchism and other stuff searching for an explanation of why they found a based way to agree with neocons so i’d love to hear it

In what way? I am trying to start a discussion both about why you believe this man’s death should be celebrated, the premises of what you think about the government in iran, and what the reality of a collapsing state looks like, what kind of world we would really live in if mccain’s dream of nuking iran were realized, the intersection of the president’s death with geopolitics, the western instrumentalization of orgs like HRW to go soft on israel and hard on targets we want to exploit & enclose or push out of competition, regional politics

you are free to step out and come back later but it’s clear you don’t want to talk about the differences between this guy, bin laden, and hitler. it’s actually far more interesting than “bad man die is good. me very smart no explain”

Sorry am I making up that you compared the Iranian President to Bin Laden AND Hitler, and said his death should be celebrated? Was that a dream? Are we going into conniptions?

Because internet commentators want to pass off their uninformed xenophobia as advocacy for democracy and the people of countries they despise and want to undermine the national interest of. For instance Ken Klippenstein referred to the Iranian President as an authoritarian dictator.

Because you started a discussion with other people and made unfounded claims, you should anticipate a response. You shouldn’t just misapply made up debate rules to act smug without backing up anything you said. This is assuming you’re interested in exchanging information with other people and learning. 🤠

anything but the Grand Hotel Abyss

You too. While you’re out there, don’t go implying people who aren’t cheering on an elected leader’s death are opposed to reform of the system that elected them, implicitly. Especially when that leader has done more than you ever will for Palestine.

See, and there you go acting cute about it. We all know what you’re implying in this discussion of the guy dying in a fireball. Get outta here

Why are you incapable of actually arguing about these points? Can you do anything other than this metatextual shit about how people are misreading you? How about actually discuss Iran or geopolitics?

and here you see the bailey of the motte and bailey strategy to defend regime change talking points. he’s no longer a leader he’s an “authoritarian dictator” a completely meaningless term which is only used to paint targets on the enemies of the west

you are just playing the good cop.

How’s the anti-terrorist operation in Donbas going, champ? Oh, half the Ukrainian army left to fight for the RuZZian terrorists?! Yikes, better call Lindsay Graham, Amy Klobuchar, John McCain, and Victoria Nuland, the real architects of the plan. I’m sure the West’s limitless arsenal and money will be able to support Ukraine against those dirty bydlo vatniks, heh heh. After all, haven’t you seen all those videos on reddit of their crazy shit falling apart? This is gonna be a piece of cake.
