Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Observations I had:

  1. DEATH TO THE MPLA meme

refers to a clip from the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 in which military leader Jonas Savimbi rallies his troops against the MPLA...

it became a meme 3 years ago, and the whole "meme" is having a screenshot of the clip in the middle of random videos... that's the meme, just having a hidden dude that screams death to the MPLA in random videos.

  1. The Russian sleep experiment, I'm sure most of the people heard of it, basically it was this story of Soviet scientists torturing war prisoners through not making them sleep and using gas on them until they became barely human and were promised freedom if they survived... the story is obviously false and originates from a 2010s creepy pasta post, the story got extremely popularized that it even got made into short films, what makes me believe it's a psyop is that it serves as a counter point to Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay, it's also conveniently called "Russian sleep experiment" and not "Soviet sleep experiment", it's a lie protected by "it's actually made in creepy pasta so it's just a horror story not propaganda".

Every leftist Hollywood movie villain is always some extreme ultraleft accelerationist. See: Killmonger

And every leftist Hollywood hero is an anarchist.

Killmonger and Namor both bring up valid points but then do something needlessly evil so you don't take them as seriously.

Exactly lol it's always like "wait he's spitting facts" then he has to eat babies or something to make sure we know those crazy tankies are out for blood

Even the ones that aren't blatant leftists represent a break of the status quo. Big budget heroes always want to keep things as they are and are never fighting for positive change.

Recently there was an Anarchist Spiderman in the latest Spiderverse movie, the Fireflies in Last of Us (while technically "antagonists" they were still very much portrayed as the heroes of the story), Green Arrow, V from V for Vendetta come to mind off the top of my head.
