Quibbling over the definition of “authoritarian” is kind of a red flag for a country that invented the term “gulag”

Defending the Soviet Union in this way has the same energy as someone claiming that the Nazis actually did some really good scientific research

You can organize and read theory without supporting Stalinism et al. A boot by any other name still tastes like leather

The Zapatistas don’t have enough tanks for .ml to support them I guess

Why don’t you take all this misplaced energy defending an authoritarian state with really excellent propaganda and use it to support a group actually doing some good like the Zapatistas or something

Do you have charts that include all the soviets combined or just Russia? Russia practiced its own version of imperialism over Siberia, Ukraine, etc so showing charts titled “Russia” is telling. Would love to see life expectancy in Ukraine following the holodomor

Things getting worse doesn’t mean they were good before lol

Takes place after climate change has destroyed much of the planet and a semi-anarchist government (think The Dispossessed) is trying to rebuild. Also somewhat focused on a WNBA team based in Greenland, interesting angle

In the US very few employers in licensed trades are willing to apprentice anyone anymore so it can be difficult to find your way in

Make sharing comics from Nazis embarrassing again

For those pearl-clutching about fire and explosion safety, you don’t need anything more than a bucket and a really cold few days to distill alcohol.

Things like ice beer and applejack are made this way and were presumably banned as well

Now you can resume pearl-clutching about methanol and fusel alcohols

I’d rather watch kids falling off of bikes

Leftist virtue signaling where nothing you do is ever actually good enough, basically

Throwing away junk mail that isn’t addressed to you is a felony in the United States

I don’t think she campaigned with Liz Cheney enough for me personally. Maybe she could have drug Kissinger’s corpse around too, that’s what sold me on Clinton
