  • While I agree with communism in theory, some of the language on the page regarding revolution is problematic IMO and is not going to gain the party any favors.

    Also some of the stuff they have listed on the site is pretty hilarious:

    The German Revolutions in 1918 and 1923, and the British General Strike in 1926, show us that even in the economic powerhouses of capitalism, the contradictions of capitalism cannot be fundamentally overcome. In fact, in 1968, the largest revolutionary general strike in history shook France. This was a country that had been lauded for its high living standards, and it occurred during a period of economic upswing!

    Literally every example they list of “the contradictions of capitalism cannot be fundamentally overcome” is an example of a country that is still capitalist lol. (Maybe because the real life examples of communism objectively haven’t turned out that great.) So they’ve continued to overcome them. And sure you can argue a country like France has a lot of socialist programs and legislation but it’s certainly still a capitalist country.







  • I fuckin hate cops as much as the next person but people love to spout this fact, but there is literally only 1 police department ever that has been documented doing this, and it was the one police department in Connecticut.

    However the court did in fact rule it was legal, yes.

    But the way everyone talks about it you’d think this was some super widespread policy that many departments use. And as far as I can tell there’s only ever been the 1 example. It’s the same case that every single article about it refers to.


  • Lol yeah, as a guy I am so happy I wasn’t judged by the size of visible appendages on my chest. The occasional boner is whatever, tuck and go on with your day.

    Also bleeding from your crotch and possibly showing blood stains? Let’s not pretend like girls don’t have it way worse. Cramps, worried about getting pregnant, etc. etc.




  • Or just buy a cheap laser printer, probably a brother, that doesn’t have any of that bullshit.

    Also AFAIK this is some HP program where you sign up for it as a service and they send you ink cartridges. It’s as dystopian as you’d expect:

    Sign up & pick a plan. Choose a plan based on how often you print, not how much ink you use. Plans start as low as $0.99/month. Every page costs the same, so you can print high resolution photos for the same price as black and color documents.

    Your printer detects when you’re low on ink or toner and automatically ships more when you need it.

    Change or cancel your plan anytime with unused pages rolling over each month and extra pages cost just $1.
