  • Liberals and leftists exist elsewhere outside America. There is nothing about the original post that yells exclusivity to America.

    Everything has something to do with politics. People saying “stop shoving politics into everything” just don’t like to he confronted with that fact, when some people are forced to confront that fact outside of political discourse every day. There are literally billions of people in poverty around the world due to the direct actions of some of the most powerful governments the world has ever seen. But you and a few people could not possibly even bear seeing a meme talking about Leftists and Liberals because that’s too political hahaha what the fuck.

    Collectivist =/= Communist, I am tired or arguing with Red Scare Americans who do not understand what Communism even is, nor understand the fact that a government that implements mass privatisation that the Nazis put in place is the exact opposite of communism. Fuck me.


  • Me when I ignore the numerous amounts of right wing genocidal dictators installed by western capitalist governments in other countries in the name of capitalism (I am using Black Book of Communism rhetoric, a book that included stagnating birth rates and death of Nazi figures in war to inflate my figures as I have no other argument of substance).

    So you don’t know what communism is since you mentioned it needing a state. I guess Nazi Germany is communist because of the “collectivist” goal of the Nazi party to improve the “motherland.” Wtf am I saying, you probably actually believe that.

    UFOs are just Unidentified Flying Objects. This can be anything fron weird weather patterns that manifest weirdly on camera to birds (as you mentioned) that the Air Force/ govt mistook for being potentially something else. Just because a flying object is unidentified doesnt mean it’s an “alien” or anything more nefarious that anyone else may suggest.

    This video did a good job at explaining why the US government has historically hidden “evidence” of “UFOs,” (at least for me anyway). A major reason being to prevent public panic at the height of Cold War tensions.



  • Twitter culture (depending on what parts of twitter you were on) was really hard to explain. Unless you used it and really knew how to, you don’t really get the benefit from it. Its feed structure combine with post length and algorith meant that it was really easy for you to know what other people were saying about things going on right now (reality shows, football matches etc). It also made searching for news so easy (due to its Trending feature), so you were kept in the loop about things.

    The meme culture of Twitter was also very unique. I can say with absolute confidence that Twitter memes were bomb (before Musk ruined it). Way better than any memes I’d come across on Reddit or Lemmy so far.

    The only problem is you had to take Twitter in small doses. Stan culture and cyber-bullying culture were real negatives of Twitter. Certain people on that app were unhinged and that went unchecked because of how echo-chambers were set by the algorithm. You really had to check yoursel to make sure you weren’t being corrupted, especially because cyber-bullying was so normalised there (at least in my experience).
