Goodnight~

I'm... eating an entire romaine heart, raw. Like, the whole thing.

Vorelidation………

Wide sergals?

I don't remember much of what happened, but I do remember there being… an attractive, well-spoken Telegram rando who gave me very good vibes?

Like, the kind of person you'd actually appreciate sliding into your DMs, I guess. Huh.

Good morning~

"Warren and Sanders are too far left" is… … …what kind of weird dogma do you need to uncritically accept to come to a conclusion like *that*!?

Bud, it seems pretty clear that you're lying when you say that your main goal is keeping Trump out of office. "I'll cancel my campaign if the Dems nominate a 'centrist'" is a pretty clear statement that you don't want American politics getting any further away from fascism than neoliberalism.

Goodnight!

Definitely in one of those moods where I just... generally want reassurance, TBH? Not about anything in specific, but... rfh. x_x;;

There's such a thing as communists with ineffective or dangerous strategic positions, or just plain bad analyses of issues, and they need to be responded to as such. Strawmanning them as having different end goals than they actually have doesn't help with convincing them of anything.

You can criticise them for the practical end *results* that their lines will produce, and also… actually… thoroughly investigate what their intentions are.

Really, the whole "actually, these people aren't real communists" thing is best saved for third positionists, honestly. The "you aren't a real communist if you aren't in a party" line ignores the hell out of the current condition of communist parties in many places, and making that call off of tactical differences (which is most of the distinction between different tendencies!) often impedes useful criticisms of most strategic errors.

Apparently, I'm… the printer whisperer, or something.

Whoops, that walk ended up being two and a half hours long. xwx

According to ancient legends from the deepest, darkest corners of the web, if you manage to socially outmanoeuvre sixteen different influencers in just as many weeks, you become the Cancellor of the Internet………

My aunt's cat is stunningly normcore. She's scared of my hair!
