Ah, the proudest of leftist traditions: Disagreeing with other leftists. Serves us right for not being brain-dead reactionaries. Can't spell critical thinking without the C, I and A.

Looks like someone else opened an issue around three weeks ago.

Just FYI, I cannot see your pronouns in the Voyager app that I use on my phone.

I know I am. I am also entitled to challenge your notion of "this is terrible" that is not really constructive to

I do not like them because the animations are arbitrary, with no proper theme and consistency to how they work and what they actually represent.

This is actually informative.

They do have a working class, but your second point is all too true, which is why it has made no impact.

[–] Urist@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No, I am essentially asking why they suck if a common user, such as me, likes them. Seems they fulfilled their purpose?

If you say so, daddy 🤠

They made me want to click each of them. So am I allowed to consider them nice, or is your "professional" opinion going to be the judgement of that?

Individual incidents of sexual and gender-based violence are horrible, but not nearly the same as sexual violence employed on scale through genocidal concentration camps, which is claimed by US propaganda machines. Individual incidents of sexual violence unfortunately happen everywhere, and pretending otherwise is wilful ignorance of an endemic problem for the purpose of, what I have to assume is, an underlying agenda. Stop moving the goal post and stop using reductive argumentation to score cheap shots at China. If China really is as bad as claimed, which I am not categorically refuting, then make the proper case for it.

No, but I am not the one making statements. I only asked for sources that supported those made by others.

[–] Urist@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Yes. Though serious human rights violations are not the same as genocide and concentrations camps, as both the above poster and Victims of Communism Foundation wants us to believe.

That means in no way that those violations are acceptable.

 

The bourgeoisie in my country have pushed the euphemism of "working capital" as something that needs protection from wealth tax. By inseparably connecting capital with jobs, they push the narrative that you cannot tax wealth without removing jobs and consequently hurting the working class. They paid for research groups to prove this connection, but what their research actually showed was that wealth tax creates jobs due to incentivizing keeping profits within the companies they own. The audacity to think owning the means of production is a privilege they should enjoy special treatment to keep is beyond me, but even so, this type of rhetoric keeps gaining ground.

What is the propaganda they are pushing on you, and how can socialist policies prevail if reason loses to made up words changing the narrative?

 

Perhaps the best part of Dwarf Fortress is creating and sharing stories. Share yours below!
