The kernel of truth here is that in the absence of a generational soviet enemy to point at, a huge amount of anticommunist (anti-Soviet) mythology has been rendered into weightless floating signifiers about 1894 Stalin Farm for anyone under a certain age, and most of what's left our modern "socialist" boogeymen, are just basic policies necessary to have a society that our ghoul overlords have now spent decades villifying. There are a lot of busy people who only pay vague attention to political theater, and for them, when they think Socialism they think about basic concrete things to be able to live.

And we thought our society was a factory for turning kids into shooters before

The Triad servers, they fuckin love to mythologize us

I just had one of those rare moments where you make a sandwich so good it's actually life-affirming. Eating this sandwich has healed a small but noticeable amount of psychic damage

Somewhere there's a portrait of him that looks less like Eli Valley drew it every day

Holy shit lmao

I guess it was inevitable that we would one day have to confront the source of all their turner diares-esque sexual fearmongering about refugees, and all that conservative fanfiction about how liberal men would totally just let a member of (racial group) do sexual violence to their loved ones to show loyalty to the cause and avoid confronting the condition of servitude that their politics has brought them to.

What will that do, disperse heat to let you print bigger projects that take longer?

Hey, did we get any Fukiyama/ star wars "somehow history returned" memes in like 2022? I hope so, such an obvious joke to make
