Idk man democratic socialists seem to have been succeeding in doing it almost globally for a century now.
Look at the left of any social democratic party and you’re bound to find some.

But you see that small socialist elite proclaims it’s doing it for the working class, therefore it’s okay now.
Don’t look at those prisons full of attempted trade unionists pls.
It’s called second campism, and it’s been happening for a long time, it just used to make more sense when it could actually seem like there was two hegemonic camps during the cold war (still an oversimplistic view).
Now they just support any regime that’s anti-US/the original capitalist camp because they have no hegemonic camp of their own to support, just a broad smattering of authoritarian regimes with completely different ideologies.
Here’s a non-British, American equivalent in San Francisco.
It’s really hard to try and talk about stuff like this without suddenly starting to sound like Alex Jones.
Ohhhh alright, haven’t heard him called that before.
Spock? Ain’t that Star Trek?
It’s from an actual journalist and has lots more other stories/quotes.
I think it’s actually real… The article also depicts Kirkbride, even in his own words, as like five times more insane than I thought he was, mostly in a good way.
On the development of Morrowind
They don’t even care if they’re Nazis, So yea.
Do you really think the U.S government are just self declaring Nazis?
Everything you said was covered with 4 layers of hyperbole.
Don’t be hyperbolic, it’s not 1984 and you still live on a democracy. You won’t face any serious criminal repercussions for saying anything in Canada or any other democracy.
Yup, I mean I’m pretty left, but the endless politics is probs bad for the platform in the long run. We need more “normie” and hobby communities if we’re gonna keep attracting new people.
Enough to know it’s bullshit.
Sure you can grab the one example in my argument that was actually functional and not fully symbolic, but my point still stands, humans build seemingly irrational things to grandstand, and the Pharoahs would’ve for sure done the same in their role as dictators.
I have my fucking doubts.
And I’m sure so has every serious academic who has studied the pyramids and all came to the conclusion that it was a tomb, and if you read their reasonings for that I’m sure you’d understand why they came to that conclusion.
Honestly, why would they make three precise giant buildings for a tomb?
Same reason we would spend a stupid amount of money on the St. Louis Arch, Statue of Liberty, or Palace of Versaille, or any work of art? To create a lasting symbol of something and to symbolize status.
I’m sure you found that book very compelling, but any electrical engineer or historian with an understanding of that period’s technology could rip it apart.
Wtf? Pls say this is satire.
I feel like people downvoted you, not realizing that Howard Hughes was the “I keep all my piss in jars to inspect” dude.
I’d say that’s primarily because the conservative arguments have gotten so crazy/illegal that it’d be hard for almost any judge to agree with it. They ruled against Moore v. Harper and almost everything Trump tried to do with the election for example.
Kiwifarms was actively carrying out doxxing and targeted harassment campaigns that led to the suicides of multiple people. Whatever your opinion is on Keffals, this is a fact, and it’s what got Kiwifarms taken down, Keffals was just the loudest voice pointing it out.
Tf you mean, you never heard of disaster diplomacy? It’s normal and moral for countries to help each other through hard times.
Plus, sovereignty doesn’t mean shit to an impoverished country with lives on the line.
There’s this thing called social democracy,
and almost every nation in the world has a social democratic party. The left wing of these social democratic parties tend to be full on democratic socialists.
There’s a good chance that the welfare system in whatever country you live in was built by these social democratic parties and influenced by its left wing of democratic socialists.
Even in the U.S. FDR’s Liberalism has been called “bootleg social democracy” by some historians, and his policies were influenced (though often more as concessions than willing adoption) of the more socialist leaning unions of his time. Even today, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party could be described as social democratic, with its leftmost members (Bernie Sanders and AOC) being democratic socialists.
