The adult rejects animu and mango, embraces Marxism-Leninism and the Chinese century.

The infantile does the opposite.

Anon, you are man now. You must choose the adult or the infantile path. One will lead you to happiness and will earn you respect. The other, well… Let's just say you'll get the "special treatment' you deserve.

Take your meds and touch it

some people are really argumentative. like they want to find a disagreement where there is none. like even when you agree with them they like move the goalposts somewhere else and then say, no, you still don't get it, it's actually more nuanced. and then you agree again and they say no, you still don't get it and move the thing further away again. it's like they want to dominate you through the pretense of a discussion while pretending to be smarter than you. it's very stupid and annoying. I think like most imageboard conversations are like this. Especially on here tbh. Is it LLM wreckers or are people just actually like this?

this isnt important and doesnt bother me much, but it is kinda weird especially since the sharty has one and leftypol has existed longer than them.

radlibs will look you in the eye and tell you with a straight face that the prices of this or that commodity have literally anything to do with communism at all

asking someone their thoughts on evrart claire is the ultimate litmus test for politics

I've pointed this out before, but I have some more indepth thoughts on it now. The pictures of Iranian women used in opposition atrocity propaganda are always of the ones who look like western baddies. They always have tons of fillers (both physical and digital), fake noses, and are scantily clad. Let's just put aside for a minute that these posts like these made on social media can't be verified and ask if these images are even a representation of the majority of Iranian women, because the majority of Iranians are still somewhat conservative Muslims in general. These images are shown to westerners because the opposition knows western men are horny and desperate to turn Iran into a nation of baddies. The discourse for years was always about mandatory hijab, but now that those laws are a dead letter, we see westerners were never concerned about mandatory veiling; the goal was always to destroy the culture in general, and Iranian women have always been seen as the weak link to drive the wedge with. Iranian women are seen as oriental and exotic, but in a way that's considered sexy by westerners. Western men are salivating at the idea of Iranian OnlyFans accounts, and going to Iran to live out an Arabian Nights Epstein Island fantasy.

The bigger picture here is that a state in opposition to imperialism will never be safe from attack. If they neutralize one threat another pops up. Venezuela tried to socialism the liberal democratic way, but that didn't stop the US from kidnapping Maduro. The only way for an opponent of imperialism to be safe is to be like North Korea.

Imma post these again because I'm bored (remember this guy is mixed race)

This is a thread for straight cis leftist males to congregate. LGBTQIAP+ may interact as well but the priority of this thread is for straight cis socialist men.
