This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

Does anyone else think the USA right wing appropriating rhetoric from the left is because we have a massive vanguard party-shaped void here? There is a greater demand than ever for a vanguard and we do not have one so the right is trying to use the opportunity to absorb parts of the loose coalition we have of anti-imperialists, socialists, and groups targeted by the administration who are looking for somewhere to direct their energy.
I think you are getting cause and effect jumbled. The right wing have created a vanguard party shaped void so they can better appropriate leftist rhetoric and terminology because they know it mobilizes the masses. hitler said a lot of psuedo-socialist stuff hell he rebranded the party as "national socialists."
My local radio guy last night offered a "tribute to Lennon" saying that "He was a man who wanted to see peace in the world, but the world didn't wanna hear it" and then started playing 38 Special - Hold On Loosely. Didn't expect that.
Insane that people still romanticize that guy.
Adulterer, wife beater, egotist, fake hippie, etc.
Dude was just a fraud. Worst Beatle by far and as a musician he was just 'meh' at best.
i watched one battle after another a few days ago. it was fun (just ok imo), but damn... is this how they really see us? LMAO
Does anyone ever wonder the variety of research chemicals that Shulgin discovered that could have potential psychiatric or therapeutic uses that have yet to be properly and rigorously studied due to federal regulations on psychedelics? With the miracles that psilocin, ergot alkaloids and other similar compounds can do on mental health, we have so many that have yet to be discovered. I use some for health reasons already.
For some non-political non-fiction that's interesting, "Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved"/PiHKAL is a good read. TiHKAL is good too. I enjoy his commentary.
Good books and good stuff.
ergotamines are so cool to me, they have so many unique uses for migraines and blood pressure issues. Completely banned in some states though!
Today I learned for the first time in thirty-one years that I am circumcised. All this time I thought that my genitals looked natural even when I was aware of what circumcision was, but after rewatching Eric Clopper’s presentation on the subject I asked my mother and she unambiguously confirmed that my deliverer gave me the procedure.
G-d, I feel so blockheaded. I should have figured it out so much sooner than I did.
Ngl had a similar experience. Im uncircumcised, and I was always so confused why so many people's genitals looks so different from mine. Even though I knew what circumcision was, I didn't put two and two together until like a couple years ago :p
Kamala's on that book store getting yelled at by Palestine protesters, and all she can do is deflect to Trump. Absolutely no comprehension of why people are mad at her.
Why do I watch election debates? The moderators keep mentioning that the far right candidate Wilders isn't present at the debate and how terrible that is, and with every question they keep asking the candidates how they are going to pay for it
I'm sorry that we Antwerpenaren tried to bomb him and that he is now too chicken to debate in a bunker
