now i've never used a sickle in my life but every time i see the Chinese hammer & sickle, i think: that's a really impractical handle on that sickle.
every other hamsic has a decent rectangular handle, but the CPC just has a little nub. what gives

you forgot Place, North Korea: Either paid actors or oooh so spooky literally 1969, there are government spies in the tree, the nort corean gobernment doesnt want us to see this photo and/or this photo was staged by the govornament for propaganda! Basically how they react to China but x10
This is why we keep the "critical" in "critical support", comrades. What a hellworld we live in where this dumpster country is the second biggest threat to american hegemony.
if you'll pardon me complaining about this publicly: some of the meanest mfs i've met online are internet-poisoned communists. If i weren't already a marxist-leninist, i would have some very unsavory ideas about what communists are like.
Lemmygrad and Hexbear are very nice places, thank you comrades _ ⦠but elsewhere, even IRL, i've met incredibly rude people calling themselves communists and i need to stress this: if you want people on our side, you need to give good impressions of what we're like. Don't be hostile or dismissive or just violently anti-social. If you have to explain something for the millionth time to yet another liberal or anarchist⦠do it [insert Sankara quote], or at least find a nice way of saying you don't want to. Save your offensive capabilities for people who deserve it. And please, PLEASE, go outside occasionally. IRL interaction is healthy, and will quickly kill any terminally online behaviours you might have. Maybe join an org while you're at it ;)
i'll stop stating the obvious now. Have a great day, comrades.

here's the original publication: meltingasphalt.com/ads-dont-work-that-way/
β¦i'm not sure what you're getting at, maybe i didnt summarize properly. give the article a read and see if it makes sense to ya.
the article very clearly explains that. Give it a read, it's not that long.
β¦but if you aren't going to read it, the summary is that the way we think ads work, associating brands with positive emotions (termed "emotional inception" in this article), is bollocks. Instead, they rely on "cultural imprinting", i.e. associating the brand with a kind of person or situation. For example, corona is the beer for relaxing on the beach, nike and gatorade are for athletes. So, if you want to relax with some homies, you drink corona. If you value athletic performance, you drink gatorade and wear nike shoes. Major exceptions apply, please just read the article.
i had a long reply that i accidentally deleted but conveniently this book about Stalin just came out that should give you an infinitely more nuanced "history and critique" of Stalin than the average westerner could imagine exists.
TL;DR Stalin is a complicated figure, just like everyone else. The cartoon villain picture of Stalin that western propagandists have been building for almost a full century now isn't real, no one likes the "eastern hitler" caricature that doesn't exist. We like Josif Stalin, the real person who existed, did great things, did bad things. a lot of what you think you know is simply false, and to understand why we "like" Stalin, you have to learn who Stalin really was, and find out what you think you know about him, the Soviet Union, and communism as a whole, that is just plain wrong.
sorry about the downvotes and dunking that are going to come to you, some folks around here have trouble distinguishing genuine questions and bad faith trolls.
why is Russia blank? does no one in Russia edit wikipedia??

from the pinned post in r/TheDeprogram:
We recently received a formal warning from the Reddit Admins that we need to emphasize the following part of Rule #2, (which is really Rule #1, according to Reddit policy):
Use screenshots or an archiving service. If the content is coming from a non-leftist subreddit, please censor all usernames and the subreddit name as well. If you must link to somewhere else on reddit that isn't politically aligned, please use the non-participant (np) variant of the URL. (e.g., https://np.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram)
If we do not want the sub to be quarantined or banned, we need to take this seriously.
well no matter how well they follow the rules i give the sub six months before it gets chapo trap house'd. no good commie sub lives that long after getting so much notoriety.
take it from a programmer, folks: knowing how to make computer do magic doesnt equate to general intelligence or automatically make one better at unrelated things like politics. computer shit is a skill like any other that just happens to have a (false) connotation of "high intelligence" whatever that means.
sorry fellow nerds, you aint special. read lenin.
