Ah yes, I'm sure all these people really, really want to join a nation that has been slaughtering their ethnic Russian neighbours.

The Finnish one, I forget his name.
But these are potatoes not cherries!
You know, orbs. Glorious 144p 12 FPS shakycam videos of glowing lights without any context or markers that could be used to determine size, distance or speed. What more proof do you need that there are aliens among us?!
It does seem like they might count "barely literate" or "illiterate in English" in that total.
Nah, you're spot on with the biggest problems in the series. In many ways it's as stagnant a series as Pokemon. And a lot of the stuff that was cliche and cringy 20 years ago is even more so today. 11 is mostly pretty good, but there are quite a few moments that just ruin a character for me, for no reason other than a lame cliche anime joke that was overplayed back in the 90s.
Though if you played 11 (or a demo) you can swap it back to traditional battles in the options menu. I did that straight away.
And people fucking worship that nazi scumbag who fought in Vietnam...
From eBay and stuff, it isn't as weird as it sounds.
Finally! A worthy challenger to Planet Hillary!
Trump was already getting assassination attempts before this, he's probably not going to even appear in public his entire term of office for fear of being shot by his pissed off fans.
Now we get to talk about Freud! Hooray.
So Freud was wrong about a lot of things, but he did pick up on the "vibes" of one particular sort of pathetic manchild. That is, his idea of the "Madonna/removed" complex fits these people very well. They both expect women to be perfect ideal virgins who never do anything wrong and debased "removed" who will fulfill their every sexual desire without hesitation. This creates a lot of cognitive dissonance, and they usually resolve it by focusing heavily on one side of their sexual pathology or the other.
In other words, they are functionally the same group because they basically want exactly the same thing as each other, women who have no agency and are just sex objects for men to use.

How can we answer the question "China is revisionist because of billionaires in the party?"
(lemmygrad.ml)
Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. Been discussing stuff with MLs of all stripes recently, and have come across a common statement used by a lot of Maoists which frustrates me.
They seem to always fall back on statements like "The CPC allows billionaires in their ranks, so they are revisionist."
Maoists have often used this as a kind of "gotcha" argument against more traditional MLs, or "Dengists" as they love to label us.
It's frustrating, because...I don't disagree really, allowing members of the bourgeoisie to hold political power is pretty much the definition of revisionism. The problem is, this feels more like a way to silence dissent or discussion rather than facilitate it. Feels like an overly simplistic hard line that simplifies history into binary divisions. Often followed by an implied "China is revisionist, therefore Maoism is the only working form of socialism."
I'm reaching out to people to see if anyone has any ways to combat this, in a way that encourages discussion rather than it just devolving into insults or truisms hurled back and forth without thought.

Kind of makes me wonder what other organisations and things throughout history were originally named after some kind of in joke or meme that has been lost to history.
