That meme is used incorrectly.

"Oh you think blah blah" "well blah blah" is supposed to be how it's used. Use the clint eastwood meme for this.

Use your twitter account (or fifth twitter account) to let them know. Leftists are a smal, but vocal group. We can be the same.

Venezuela has a million dollar bill now! They could be paid 500,000$ per an hour of work! (the million dollar bill is worth about thirty bucks from my understanding)

I'm at -80 karma on reddit now, like that's a minus. I'll keep going till they delete my account. My old account had almost 100k karma. I haven't changed. Reddit did.

PSA - they use cookies to track you, so your old accounts will be banned at the same time as your new accounts. Set your browser to delete all cookies at shutdown, and before you make a new account. Same if you're using a program on your phone. Use apollo, log out of your old account, quit, then log into the new account.

From the same book - Both classical Marxists and cultural Marxists see history as a series of struggles that divide the world into hostile/antagonistic groups of oppressors and the oppressed. Both seek out victim groups as the anointed group that will also serve as society’s redeemer group.676 The victim group becomes the agent for emancipation in ushering in the new and better world. The Marxist must always, then, be on the search for the newest victim class which, in turn, must always be made aware of its victimization. Its “consciousness” must be raised.

The idea is that we all fall into a victim group. This appeals to the ego of the individuals - just think to yourself - there's nothing wrong with me. It's the system. It's society. I'm perfect. My morals are correct and approved. It's the system. I'm oppressed.

Everyone is oppressed. Everyone fits into the oppression hierarchy.

That's the beauty of equality. It's a utopian dream - even if it were achieved, people would complain that it hasn't. Equality to you looks different from equality to me. Equality to a feminist looks different to a BLM activist and a feminist than to a presbyterian pastor.

So it can never be reached. And you'll always be unhappy. And it's never your fault. It's always the system. No matter how good it is, the system must be torn down.

From The Devil and Karl Marx:

Perhaps Hay’s most spectacular achievement was his shrewd tactical move to portray homosexuals as a “minority” class, a crucial step in getting the wider liberal left to protect, accept, and ultimately advance them. Liberals are suckers for a minority movement that they are sympathetic to, and thus this worked masterfully, particularly as the left went secular, sexual, and cultural. “Without the idea of Gays as a cultural minority,” writes Roscoe, “there would be no Gay identity and no Lesbian/Gay movement today.” This “cultural minority thesis,” says Roscoe, has been Hay’s “most profound and lasting contribution.”540 Roscoe and many others would rightly call this a “profound contribution” by Harry Hay.

It's not from Orwell. According to the wiki, it was falsely attributed.

That hat on the left is sweet. As a canadian, I'm always envious of the hat culture you have there. Nice.

If we could enable RSS, we could have something of an RSS reader. A replacement reddit. Other communities could sign on, you'd subscribe to whatever you want on your rss reader, or rss reader website, and boom. Decentralized reddit replacement. TD Mods should think of it. I don't know much about this platform, but on wordpress it's pretty darn easy to enable.

It'll always seem like that. It seems like we're winning, to them. That's why they've been so defensive.

Um. What. I can't believe you actually found a source for this. That's amazing.

Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's actually my favourite show on TV. Watch it from the first episode, the blackface episodes are worth it alone.

I literally screenshotted it. It's not fake. That being said, it is misinformation. I wasn't aware. So I've deleted the post - it was never called.
