~~So it seems like this community will one of the ones where all the other shit_____say communities get merged into. In preparation for that and the incoming rise in traffic, we should have a few more mods here to make sure things run smoothly and keep reactionaries out (ironic). Anyone interested? Comment below. Looking specifically for users with reasonably active accounts and a reasonably long history of posting Marxist/ML content, either on Lemmygrad or on another instance.~~

Edit: nevermind, plans changed. Apply to ShitReactionariesSay instead.

Pinpoint build up? Never heard that term before.

Ooh!

This is like Mount Rushmore, but based and not on stolen land!

I've realized that unless they specifically say Marxist or ML, chances are they're just confused liberals.

What's also ironic is that they always say how violent Squirrel and Hedgehog is, and how it uses the trope of objective good vs objective evil, and the good guys always pull through. While conveniently not mentioning that Japanese anime from the same era has a similar level of violence (you know, the country right next to the DPRK and has quite a bit of cultural overlap?), or the fact that literally every kid show ever has the exact same simplified good vs evil message? The cartoon doesn't even mention any real countries! It's in a 100% fictional, fantasy setting!

Also, if you're going into college level literary analysis to draw comparisons between a cartoon for children and real life politics (like, young children, not high schoolers or some age where you'd actually expect them to understand real politics), aren't you basically saying that children in the DPRK are way smarter than Western children?

And Captain America isn't just a superhero. He's literally, canonically a god, and the unquestioned defender of the entire universe!

When libs analyze a show like Squirrel and Hedgehog (a DPRK cartoon) down the individual pixels in order to prove just how propaganda it is, but apparently what Marvel has is 100% not propaganda?

Redditor is a state of mind. You don't necessarily have to use the site to be one.

And then you get the geniuses at /r/architecture whining "HURR DURR IT HAS NO ORNAMENTATION AND IT'S UGLY AND DYSTOPIAN AND ELON MUSK'S MANSION AT LEAST LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!"

Also, prions, one of the deadliest cannibalism infections, are pretty damn heat stable. You can grill the shit out of a burger and still get mad cow disease, pretty sure that applies to human-human transmission too.

Also also, if I'm understanding this right, he didn't actually get backlash for being a literal cannibal, you know, the most serious point in all of this, but instead he got backlash for accidentally eating a fellow Ukrainian instead of an evil enemy Russian?

What the fuck is wrong with people?

TIL that the USSR flag only has the hammer sickle on one side. Anyone know why that decision was made?

IMO, any country on the business end of colonialism needs to bring the symbols of the indigenous peoples to the forefront if we're going to start redesigning flags.
