« The volume of these answers (thousands) and the fact that the answers often require a detailed read by someone with at least some subject matter expertise in order to determine that the answer is actually bad has effectively swamped our volunteer-based quality curation infrastructure. »

@aescling spotted in a duckduckgo search result…… there was a lot of ground covered by that ellipsis lol

@coriander it’s so annoying dealing with liberals because they think you can’t simultaneously be human and evil and use evidence of the former as evidence against the latter

@coriander @aescling “sure, there’s some ‘rebel’ stuff in andor but can we talk about its female characters??”

@coriander @aescling “damn quick they tricked disney into putting out antifascist materials again we gotta spin this to liberalism somehow”

i don’t know how anyone could believe in Marx, the man literally thought a giant ghost was haunting Europe

@aescling you don’t have to have earthshattering takes to speak about the sonic franchise; the most important takes are plainly obvious. however, you do still have to make them

in fact i don’t think this story is “brilliant”, i think it is entirely mundane, which is why it is necessary for us to discuss its contents

i do want to read Marx’s writings on historical materialism the Communist Manifesto is just a little more relevant to me right now

@aescling TECHNICALLY that is anarcho-communism but it's the kind of anarcho-communism which views power structures inherent in successful labour organizing as an unqualified good insofar as it is effective

@aescling (and my “anarchist tendencies” are just “lots of smaller parties working across lines of solidarity” i.e. platformism)

@aescling like i have anarchist tendencies because i think a single party structure cannot fully accommodate indigenous, queer, and immigrant rights in the united states today, and those are our base so we have to start there

not because i care about “personal liberty”
