Changeling [it/its]

This is the full quote, according to Parenti:

Left anticommunists remained studiously unimpressed by the dramatic gains won by masses of previously impoverished people under communism. Some were even scornful of such accomplishments. I recall how in Burlington Vermont, in 1971, the noted anticommunist anarchist, Murray Bookchin, derisively referred to my concern for “the poor little children who got fed under communism” (his words).

It’s literally a personal anecdote claimed by Parenti, so I don’t see that being corroborated.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services

I googled it and it looks like to sign up to drive for Bus you need to take a hollowed out RV and fill it with chairs from the DMV. How do they have enough drivers to compete with restrictions like that?

You guys are getting buses?

There’s a lot of truly bizarre opinion on nationalism and ethnicity when it comes to “tankie” and “red fash” discourse. Some streaming had a whole filled diaper moment talking about how anti-imperialist movements in Africa are ethno-nationalists for wanting to kick out their white ruling classes.

imo one of :jordan-eboy-peterson:’s stopped clock moments is how the flood myth can be seen as a cultural analogy for civil dysfunction. We build up giant systems collectively over generations and by the time they start falling apart due to corruption, the effects of their failure can really feel supernatural.

The Left got a little too PC so I changed all of my opinions about the economy, social issues, systemic racism, health care, and history.

The actual list is as follows (I believe it’s ranked by global score)

They do appear to have fascist dogwhistles on the list

Methodological Notes: Activity levels are defined as the % of posts with at least one key word, phrase, or stem identified with particular themes. Because the study of language and ideology is a key aspect of the larger project, results are limited exclusively to posts with at least 50 words.

I’ve been looking through the resources on his site but can’t find the list of keywords he uses for this site. Anyone more familiar with computational statistics wanna give it a go?

I’m traveling soon and am very glad it’ll be by train. Oh wait.

Yup. Damaging trust in public education is a major point of campaigns spearheaded by pro-privatization think tanks. The forums that school shooters tend to frequent also have a tremendous fucking cash flow in their crypto wallets. It’s not direct coordination, but you can see the superstructure forming a bed for these economic interests to lay in.

As someone whose affinity group irl is mostly anarchists, I feel like anarchists on Twitter are just significantly more centrist than anarchists irl

I don’t even understand the stereotype. “Globalists” is a right wing dogwhistle for “jews”. I’ve never heard leftists use the term derogatorily. If we wanna talk shit about western hegemony or NATO, we use those terms directly.

If I am ever lined up against the wall and shot, I’m gonna be pissed about being in the same line as Twitter liberals
