Since everyone else has provided plenty of reading materials, I thought I’d suggest a listen: Blowback (especially season 2 imo). It’s not specifically about communism, but it can help untangle imperialist propaganda you’ve been fed your entire life.

Scratch a liberal and all that. This is clearly a direct response to leftist orgs making sure people are masking at protests.

Damn that’s pretty dark. What would constitute serious risk? He’s old. That’s a risk right there. He’s overweight (no judgement, it is what it is). Also a risk.

Not cool. Happening to way more people than just Gabe Newell I’m sure. If I were him, I’d try to get air filters in that room near my face.

Which, coincidentally, means liberals are the best argument for electing Trump. A huge portion of the nation starts caring about things they should always care about simply because bad man.

I don’t understand where this narrative that Gen Z is sexless comes from. I’m not Gen Z, but like… a song about “wet ass pussy” came out at a time when no one could really go to clubs and it was still a huge hit. The video was so sexual that Ben Shapiro described his wife’s pussy as bone dry to discredit the video’s legitimacy. People still like tits. People still like ass. People still like dong.

They’re both good instances. People have been heavily propagandized to hate communists. You could make the kindest most welcoming space on the internet and if you put the label “communist” on it, it will be hated.

Liberals read this article and their only reaction is this article is bad because it lays some of the blame on Biden.

Deeply unserious people.

In the NYT article (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/30/us/politics/biden-debate-anxious-democrats.html) they include this gem:

One of the strongest voices imploring Mr. Biden to resist pressure to drop out was his son Hunter Biden, whom the president has long leaned on for advice, said one of the people informed about the discussions, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations. Hunter Biden wants Americans to see the version of his father that he knows — scrappy and in command of the facts — rather than the stumbling, aging president Americans saw on Thursday night.

lmao this campaign is just handing ammo to republicans by invoking Hunter
