Cowbee might say that great man theory isn’t real, but I think they’re a real great person

Woah, I didn’t know Benn Jordan made videos about audio ;)

What show is this?

[edit: it looks like Summer Camp Island? I don’t remember it that well if that’s the case]

[edit edit: after a bit of hunting, I think it’s from the final episode of season 1 of Summer camp island; The Library]

The thing on the scroll is usually what the meme poster supports and the 4th panel person’s reaction is who they’re making fun of.

I love how you unquoted “evidence” in the original meme. I just wanted to know how the people you know were affected, and every message you send that avoids that screams “I totally have a girlfriend but she lives in another country and she doesn’t like her picture taken, but trust me, she definitely exists”

I mean, it’s just the entire crux of your argument. I’m also not the same person you’ve been talking to. All I did was ask you to make a claim instead of vagueposting about the definition of genocides being pretty wide and getting on a soapbox. It’s hard to have discussions when you refuse to communicate about the topic, but rather delve into meta-commentary as soon as you’re asked for any details that have brought you to your conclusion.

That’s a lot of words to avoid saying “I believe China is committing genocide because they are doing ____”.

You have a friend over there but haven’t said what their experience is. You have said genocide doesn’t have to look like Israel but haven’t specified how it applies to China from your perspective. Make a claim.

The Whig party died because it failed to address the whig voters’ concerns over slave states. The Whigs in charge were too busy trying to find a moderate choice between traditional whig and democratic policies since the Whigs consisted of both northern and southern slave states and were too spineless to pick a side. Zachary Taylor (W), who had never voted or voiced his political opinion prior to running, won the nomination because whig voters in the convention thought being a middle ground candidate was enough to win. And he did win, but…

After Zachary Taylor was president, Winfield Scott (W), who was running a diet-democratic campaign seeing how it worked with Taylor, was running against Franklin Pierce (D), a dark horse candidate who wasn’t even in the running until the 35th ballot at a stalled democratic convention. Scott, having lost the anti-slavery voters of the northern states, had an enthusiasm issue so big that people of the time regard this is one of the least exciting campaigns in presidential history. After Pierce won the election 254 electoral votes to 42, Free Soil and ex-Whig voters coalesced into the republican party. The whig party had been killed.

If your party isn’t giving what people are pleading for or isn’t a real opposition party, it’s easier killing the party and starting fresh with something better than trying to lure the lost party back to your own values. And if we’re already putting forth all that effort to build up a new party when one dies, why not be cool and make a revolutionary vanguard party instead of filling the vacuum in bourgeois elections?

Gotta use a brick because Mr Evrart is helping me find my gun.

Scratch a fascist and a liberal will shout “HEY CUT THAT OUT”

Washing denim and linen together is risky though.

I agreed with the premise up front. It’s not a bad article. That doesn’t take away from a censorship heavy regime criticising censorship through their mouthpiece and I fully acknowledge that AJ is generally decent so no, it’s not racism.

“I swear, I’m not talking about crime just because I passed a random person of color. Being anti crime is a total rational thought to bring up, and I just find the topic interesting and worth talking about at this particular moment is all. That person we passed was actually a really chill dude, and the fact that I said that makes me not a racist”

Would you make this same comment if it were coming from literally any other major source seeing as censorship is widespread in major news networks? Or is it just veiled racism?

“It’s nice to see Europe influencing the US for a change”

They’re even putting roundabouts in South Carolina cities!

So glad actual hitler was defeated by voting against him.

The people who make compromises with the Nazis have convinced you that voting is the most important and only tool at your disposal.

Sure looks like the left has been growing in numbers from my time in leftist orgs. I’m also not sure the likelihood of the heritage foundation taking a chance on accidentally initiating Black Panthers 2.0 in the US.

Just because you don’t agree with people on this platform, you should probably understand that lemmy, a place that can’t be swayed by an algorithm controlled by billionaires, and notably created by communist developers, would attract other communists here. You came into our space questioned our legitimacy here. The fuck
