I’m Don Draper in the elevator with that guy, the guy is 196 and I’m saying “I don’t think about you at all”

I literally don’t know what 196 is tbh

But could I reserve it as a surprise 👀

What if I want it to be a secret special surprise

Oh I thought we had to apply to have a mega, anyone can just post it?

I really don’t think so lol. The first five minutes of RoS is all the characters saying “hey the last movie didn’t happen, palpatine’s back, time to go on a quest for the 7 maguffins”. It’s not like JJ followed up any of the stuff TLJ was railroading the plot towards.

It wasn’t “good”, it’s blockbuster slop. I didn’t mind some of its ideas though, trying to take Star Wars away from “hey everything important that happens in this galaxy with a trillion trillion beings living in it revolves around this one family”. And then the 3rd sequel shat on that from a great height lol.

There was some cool looking stuff. The hoth remix with the red salt was cool. When the admiral blows up the whole fleet is cool. The lightsaber blowing up. I even thought the sequence where Luke “comes back” was kinda dope. However it also had some terrible action stuff like the horse race scene or whatever. And the plot was a contrived afterthought.

all that being said the sequels taken as a whole are a disgrace and this makes up a third of that disgrace so it’s hard to say it’s good, lol. It’s better than RoS by an order of magnitude, but that is literally one of the worst films I’ve ever seen.

Rabbit without a face remix

Haitian rev? It opens up avenues to compare and contrast with the French and maybe even American revs, the French doing their bourgeois revolution then immediately turning round and trying to keep the Haitians as slaves and slapping them with “reparations” for successfully freeing themselves.

(Edit: bonus of this is nobody can come back at you calling you a dirty commie or mark you down because you call out the US for teaming up with nazis in Central America or whatever. Nobody is gonna say “umm actually the Haitians should’ve stayed as slaves”)

And not even that, really. He thought it sucked they were fighting each other

I don’t know who this is :chad:

This guy are sick

“First they came for the Twitter shitlibs, and I did not speak out, because I hated those assholes”

17 screenshots of text and never answers or even considers the key question. We all know why China pivoted toward capitalist development, the question is when or if it will ever pivot back.

2nd screenshot:

you can only…. If you already have developed industry

China has a well developed industrial economy. It’s been developing for half a century and has no sign of stopping. How developed does it need to be before you stop doing capitalism? How long will it take?

The first four screens aren’t exactly new information. It’s the justification used by the USSR in enacting the NEP. Y’know, the NEP that lasted less than a decade? China is well into the 4th decade of marketisation and there are no indications that it’s likely to change anytime soon - private ownership and inequality are expanding in China, not contracting.

The second half of the post, sure, I don’t think China is imperialist either (yet?). But the first half of the post is just a lot of words for “we’re building productive forces bro trust us bro we’re doing communism any second now bro” which is an argument we’ve all heard a thousand times.

Eastern front of WWII was pretty scary for the fash :wholesome:

Imagine tweeting “i I have no empathy” and taking 46 words to do it

I really wish this game was better. Got very repetitive and shallow very quickly and the RPG elements weren’t amazing. I really like that they went so openly anti-capitalist, even that’s presented in a pretty low-hanging-fruit “every single capitalist operator is extremely blatantly evil” kind of a way

Most self-identified leftists have critiques of the late USSR and the revisionist CPSU as well though, I think that’s more compatible with our worldview than stating things like “the Chinese revolution hadn’t actually done anything to change the old structures of power in China” :agony-turbo:

Honestly impressive when artists can do that. I saw the cure three or four years ago, Robert Smith sounds exactly like he did in the 80s. Meanwhile I saw Oasis like fifteen years ago and Liam Gallagher already sounded like shit lol

Tbf she’s like 1,000 years old I’m surprised she can muster up the energy to verbalise

I assumed the title implied 5am to 9pm lmao
