This is the full quote, according to Parenti:

Left anticommunists remained studiously unimpressed by the dramatic gains won by masses of previously impoverished people under communism. Some were even scornful of such accomplishments. I recall how in Burlington Vermont, in 1971, the noted anticommunist anarchist, Murray Bookchin, derisively referred to my concern for “the poor little children who got fed under communism” (his words).

It’s literally a personal anecdote claimed by Parenti, so I don’t see that being corroborated.

I googled it and it looks like to sign up to drive for Bus you need to take a hollowed out RV and fill it with chairs from the DMV. How do they have enough drivers to compete with restrictions like that?

You guys are getting buses?

There’s a lot of truly bizarre opinion on nationalism and ethnicity when it comes to “tankie” and “red fash” discourse. Some streaming had a whole filled diaper moment talking about how anti-imperialist movements in Africa are ethno-nationalists for wanting to kick out their white ruling classes.

A lot of people get confused when I say there are binary trans women who exclusively wear men’s clothes and use he/him pronouns, and vice versa for trans men. Transitioning is hard, especially if you have elements of physical or psychological safety to consider. Doesn’t make anyone less trans.

Better yet, he also says that, unlike the first game, we won't have to help the cops spy on citizens to un-fog the map.

imo one of :jordan-eboy-peterson:’s stopped clock moments is how the flood myth can be seen as a cultural analogy for civil dysfunction. We build up giant systems collectively over generations and by the time they start falling apart due to corruption, the effects of their failure can really feel supernatural.

That’s a good point. There’s an old school attitude that children will only ever behave because they’ve been dominated by their parents and therefore any “overindulgence” in a child’s desires is actually bad for the child because it violates the “natural” dominance hierarchy of the parent-child relationship and that’s why they misbehave.

There is a natural dominance hierarchy in the sense of “my child wants to run out into the street in front of traffic and I physically prevent them from doing so”. But the idea that a misbehaving child is misbehaving because they simply haven’t been dominated enough by authority figures is ridiculous. There are personality types which react to dominance with the exact undesired behavior (it me). And that’s to say nothing if the neglect that inevitably occurs when a parent-child relationship is damaged like this.

NPD is pretty common in China when only children are raised by some guardian that spoils them rotten

“NPD is when kids are spoiled” is a pretty fucking hot take what on earth
