“Noooo! You aren’t supposed to read actual communist theory. You can’t engage with the well thought out arguments of Communist figureheads. You are supposed to read Ayan Rand and the Black book of Communism to gain a true understanding of its horrors.”

You’d think with the disgusting opinions they have towards women they wouldn’t breed at all.

Not yet. Consuming it is legal. Possession of it not. And I am not possessing shit.

But didn’t the game at one point was like “rAiDEn baD because these cops have a family” or am I misremembering? I haven’t played this game in at least 6 years.

I think the answer is multy tiered. A big reason for the mentality of many Germans is Germanies recent history.

A lot of Germans still feel somewhat guilty about WW II and believe it’s their duty to prevent another Hitler. But since analysing the reasons for Hitler’s rise to power would require a critique of capitalism and it’s inherent relation to fascism it’s not taught that way in school (or anywhere). Instead it’s the usual “great man theory” nonsense.

Combine that with the systematic smear campaign that is going on since the dissolution of the GDR and you end with the current situation. Tons and tons of Germans believe that the GDR was a horrible rouge state where the Stasi disappeared you for thinking a single subversive thought, the UdSSR was worse than Nazi Germany and Stalin was best buds with Hitler.

Now we are in a situation were Germans believe that Putin is trying to rebuild the UdSSR and since communism is worse than fascism, it’s totally justifiable to arm Nazi’s to fight Russia. But Putin is also totally just like Hitler. This has gotten so ridiculous that a common name for Putin is Putler now (Liberals and contradicting themselves, name a more iconic duo).

Supporting the fight against Russia is seen as a way to show that we are good boys now and have learned from the horrors of fascism and supposed horrors of communism. At least that’s what somewhat well off liberals believe.

Those who actually feel the consequences of the war flock to the far right AFD party. Mainly because there is no good left wing alternative. The Linke is busy with infighting and the DKP is way too small and the average member is older than 50.

Maybe but then again Annalena Baerbock herself said that things won’t go back to being normal “even after Ukraine has won”.

So it might be self delusion at this point.

Basically since people here have been affected, at least economically, a lot of the popular support has waned.

Interesting. Here in Germany we can also feel the sanctions quite a lot. Electrical bills also went up and big concerns announced that they would leave Germany and outsource their production to somewhere else. So a lot of people are afraid they could end up jobless in a while. And yet support for Ukraine is not going down. I think it just makes people more bloodthirsty.

“The USA are the worst. They lie, steal and murder to get what they want. I am so glad they are honest when it comes to their political rival though.”

But don’t tell that to the Germans. I was banned from the Germany subreddit for pointing it out.

BRICS not trying to win challenge (impossible)

I love being free to starve, free to be homeless, free to be alone and depressed, free to see my best friend become a massive suicide risk because she can’t transition.

I absolutely love the freedom of the west!

Fuck off finish Nazi scum. Stalin was a hero if you disagree because your grandparents told you how horrible he was it’s because they were Nazi collaborators.

At this point I think that Kissenger has been dead for the last 18 years. They just uploaded his consciousness onto the Reddit Servers and it has been haunting the internet ever since.

Ah yes, we famously can’t imagine incremental steps from Capitalism to Communism.

That’s why we dunk on Anarchists non stop for believing that you can just flip the communism switch and be done with it. Or why we support China and recognise that their incremental transition is valid and so far has been the greatest success of the 21st. century.

What the commenter really meant is “I am incredibly annoyed at those damn tankies and their will to reach communism eventually. Can’t they be happy with Social Democracy and stop asking for more?”

look I just have opinions on the age of consent for employment ok

Fixed it.

O M G! You are being such a Ravenclaw right now.

America’s 9/11 was poetic justice.

¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!

Man Incels are so weird. I am in a similar boat to a lot of Incels but I still think they are genuine freaks (not for their situation, for their beliefs). I don’t know if empathy is the right word but I feel sorry for them while still despising them. They also frighten me a little bit because in an alternate universe there is a version of me who fell down this rabbit hole and it freaks me out sometimes.

I think OP is very reasonable. There are too many tankies on Hexbear. We don’t want to risk them coming over to Lemmygrad. It would be really annoying to deal with them every Friday in the weekly Obama appreciation post.
