Hey, I’m an ideas guy, not an engineer. When I say combine the waste organs and leave the sex organs to be sex organs, that’s the engineers job to figure out.
Yeah? So why is my pleasure noodle, and my piss faucet the same organ? Why is my partners faeces dispenser an inch away from her baby cannon? When she gave birth, why did it rip open? Why, as a man, do I have nipples?
If this was all “built like this” I would like to have a go, because this seems like a beta test which received a failing grade.
You need to recalibrate your flight or fight response. Purposefully put yourself in a life threatening situation, it will make you wish you were answering emails instead
For what it’s worth, Stalin is a monster, and the state of China right now is repugnant.
Mao didn’t intentionally lead ten million people to starve in the same way Stalin did. Mao was trying to revolutionise agriculture (The Great Leap Forward) but didn’t understand the ecological and logistic principles required.
I’m convinced his intentions were good, he just wasn’t educated enough to implement something like this.
Then when one fails we get to say “well that wasn’t true x”. And the labels allow people to boogeyman an idea.
Essentially a No True Scotsman fallacy.
I think it’s better to simply state that things like Stalin’s USSR weren’t communist. Period.
It wasn’t “almost communist”; it was a dictatorship. So to say it wasn’t “real communism” is like boiling a sock and saying it’s not “real dinner”. It’s not dinner at all, it’s a sock.
This is just speculation, but I assumed as a matter of respect, the R&M team would have given him a choice to step down or not. I don’t see a situation where keeping him on would be worth the hassle.
I personally think it was the wrong call to drop Roiland before his court case for domestic abuse was reviewed - innocent until proven guilty.
Remember how at the start of the Depp/Heard trial everyone labeled Depp a monster? Then in court, Heard revealed herself to be a liar.
However, the texts he sent to minors were disqualifying in their own right. As a form of risk mitigation, you can’t continue to employ the star of a show teens love, texting underage girls about how they should hurry up and turn eighteen.
Stalin was a dictator - which is antithetical to the core principles of communism. You cannot be both a communist and a dictator, they are diametrically opposed.
It’s a shame Lenin died right after the establishment of the USSR, he disdained everything Stalin became.
Communism is and isn’t authoritarian. The establishment is, and the struggle to prevent regress into capitalism is, but for the people who aren’t trying to exploit others, it isn’t.
Authoritarianism ≠ fascism
Authoritarianism + ultranationalism = fascism.
Communism isn’t anything like fascism. Communism, by definition, rejects nationalism, and considers every proletariat family, regardless of nationality and ethnicity. The only enemy of communism is the bourgeoisie (dictators and fascists foremost)
Chinese communist party? China has one of the largest wealth disparities of any country. They spew pollution out of newly built coal plants because they care about money above all else. They’re capitalists for fuck sake!
Kingdom Hearts as a franchise is autistic, but the adult fans know it’s fucking stupid. Meanwhile, HP adult fans don’t realise how weird it is to put your Hogwarts house in your profile bio, because HP is mainstream, and they’re autistic.
