Hi. I'm alienated, living in the imperialist core, I have no political representation, and none of my friends are communists. Except from this website I feel extremely isolated. How are the rest of you faring?

Listen to "Once in a Lifetime" and "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads at least four times a day

When the Cool Zone arrives, will you switch to "Life During Wartime"?

I know there's an emoji called cool-zone, but what is the "Cool Zone" supposed to be?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

I had to look up the origins just now myself.

The Cool Zone is usually defined by people on Twitter as a period in history that's super cool to read about, but much less cool to live through. This definition is usually attributed to Matt Christman from the leftist podcast Chapo Trap House.
