Yes. The Americans ask this on every form for who knows what reason.

Problem: the Americans have an actual czar now, and an “ethics czar” will not stop him

That’s just one pun

What is the second pun?

A compound in Texas run by an ultraconservative who loves guns is an American tradition

Windoze must die! Long live DOS!

It was both, fellow worker.

We need a diversity of tactics. The literature describes a “radical flank effect” where the radical and moderate wings of social movements mutually benefit.

I interact with enough tankies to tell you in advance.

In the view of tankies, Russia isn’t imperialist due to some weaseling with how they define imperialism in economic terms.

The US, on the other hand, is as imperialist in tankies’ minds as it is in reality.

Thus, to to them, Russia is waging an anti-imperialist war with the long-term goal of establishing a “multi-polar” world.

Thus, the tankie conclusion is that NK is heroically sending in the soldiers to help fight imperialism.

I see no need to try and explain why this is wrong. That’s left as an exercise for the reader.

A good thing imo

Embrace trams, the worst of all worlds

An invitation to “Learn Olbanian!” was directed at Madonna in 2006, when in her blog she used an electronic translator to address her Russian fans and called them “Russian ventilators” by mistake [3] (i.e. by confusing “fan (person)” and “fan (machine)”, while the latter is ventilyator in Russian).

It’s a cylinder.

A friend and I were recently discussing how spineless modern boycotts are.

We set a goddamn deadline for when the Reddit boycott ended. No wonder Spez just waited. Most people then just continued using the website. What a disgrace.

Imagine if after one week of the genocide in Gaza, the BDS efforts just stopped. A boycott must be indefinite. It should go on until demands are met.

Every day I find a new reason to hate the US government.

They infiltrated vegan potlucks?!

I’m all of these things except bisexual. At least I think so.

For some reason this particular profile of a person is very prevalent. The traits tend to occur together.

Do it very early before they’ve metastasized. Do it after they have power too. The pretext already exists, they campaigned on it. Being a partisan is now literally a fight for your life.

Do not forget that in '32 the SPD backed Hindenburg… who then nominated Hitler as chancellor.

Thälmann was foolish, but even if he didn’t run, Hitler would still get into power. If the far right is strong enough, mere electoralism will not stop them. Fighting them must happen on the street level.

This is just in the USA, correct? Aldi in the EU is unaffected from what I can tell.
