Having the Red Army located in Eastern Germany surely also helped make the prospect of revolution go from specter to reality.

Sorry for deadnaming, but I’ve never once typed this site’s name as “hexbear.net”. The Chapo.chat domain is just so ingrained in my head / fingers.

That type of voter is one of the main reasons why Trump won in 2016. They all recognized his name from his TV-show and vaguely remembered having positive feelings at that time, so he must be the right choice.

This is why harder than I thought it would be, mostly because the text-boxes take up a massive chunk of the screen. Particularly the Central African Republic somehow takes up almost the entire middle part of the continent. Any tips on how to move them?

I feel like this was a bad weekend to log-off, given that I have litterally no idea why so many moderators (who’ve been largely doing very well) are acting like they’ve betrayed the revolution.

No idea why people are offering resignations when it’s a complete non-issue. This is like offering to resign from your job because you accidentally made the coffee wrong in the break-room.

Didn’t Biden litterally say, while President, that being Middle Class was more about a set of values than income-threshhold?

He also got suspended from his university for being too racist to chinese people during the Hong Kong riots in 2019, which is quite a feat in Australia.

I think that’s just a liberal thing tho. My coworker is 2nd generation migrant from Turkey and when Erdogan was reelected last time, she went around saying “what will europe and the europeans think of us, that we’re some kind of backwards inbreds?”. I tried to tell her, that white europeans already think that anyway, and changing a conservative leader for a progressive one isn’t going to change that, but I got kind of shouted down by the other people at our office (who were all white)

You can thank an entire century’s worth of propaganda for that one. Every group in the United States that has asked for a better or more equitable society has been accused of being secretly communist / marxist / socialist / russian / chinese (those are all interchangable for Americans). And since neoliberalism has made the discussion of actual economic policy haram, people are left to only discuss the social policies (also due to the whitewashing that the State has successfully managed to pull off with regards to historical radicals).

I think the resident MMT-guy on here probably needs to take a little break, on account of his predictions that Kamala and the Dems would overperform the polls (as a lot of the republican donors had been switching to the Dems) and that Trump would lose.
