Hey Global Network, you know you can just send me a DM and I’ll explain everything you want to know? Why does nobody ever do that? Is this how ‘research’ is conducted nowadays?
It’s wild how liberal journos do all those ethnographic interviews of fascist groups but don’t seem to do the same for communists nearly as often.
You’re right, they go out there and meet incels and fascists and try to dress the portrait of the “misunderstood kid”, meanwhile we get reduced to a congealed mass that exists solely on the computer screen (but is somehow still very dangerous)
I can’t say it would be a good use of your time (arguably, it would be actively detrimental to us all) but you probably could get a response if you reached out to the people who did this paper, if you were interested.
We should instead publish our own response paper accusing them of being tankies. That’s a thing academics do, right? Like diss tracks?
Major “The Incoherence of the Incoherence” vibes
Yeah, a “Poverty of Philosophy” type beat, except they have given us so little to work with that it would be difficult to make anything substantial.
No mention of Hexbear?
What a waste of money and time, posting
is indeed praxis to keep these sorts busy fighting with mirrors.I’d just like to interject for a moment. What this article is referring to as “Marxism/Leninism” is, in fact, Marxism-Leninism, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, “Marxism plus Leninism”. “Marxism/Leninism” implies either “Marxism” or “Leninism”; however, “Leninism” is is not an ideology unto itself, but rather an extension of Marxism. Many Marxists use this modified version of Marxism every day, without realizing it. Th
I’d just like to interject for moment. What you’re referring to as theft, is in fact, uBlock Origin, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, uBlock Origin plus Advanced Mode. Theft is not an adblocker unto itself, but rather another misrepresentation of a fully functioning adblocker made useful by the uBlock Origin dynamic filters and its vital JS-blocking feature comprising a full modern adblocker as is required for the world wide web of today.
Many web browsers run a modified version of uBlock Origin every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of adblockers which is widely used today is often called theft, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically uBlock Origin, developed by Raymond Hill.
GNU + Marxism is praxis 🗣️🗣️
Marxism/Leninism implies that you divide Marxism by Leninism which what would that even look like? That would be Trotskyism!
Lenin walks around the world. Mathematicians cannot bar him. Neither above one nor below zero. Nor does multiplication scar him.
Lenin walks around the world. An asymptote becomes him. Marching forever towards zero. Divide Marx by he till we reach infinity.
Anarchy in mathematics smh
But that would mean that Trotskyism multiplies by Leninism is Marxism…
Yes, they just need some Leninism in their life 😎
Besides being a fucking ugly graph where you can barely read the node labels, I also like that this one pretty much admits democrats are clustered along the other reactionaries.
They also don’t describe how they even got that clustering (or the network itself) in the first place. I think it’s safe to assume they either nicked it from the web or got an inexperienced intern to just do whatever with a Jupyter notebook.
Is it a network of “common posters”? Of links in sidebar? In cross-posts?
Data science is what happens when “programmers think they are experts in everything that deals with computers” is taken to its most extreme. This field needs a purge, for the sake of all actual statisticians.
Science is when you never show your methodology, because it came to you in
a dreama linear regression.Not only is it impossible to read the node labels, it’s even more impossible to tell what is connected to what. At some point you are better off not showing the connections at all. Did an AI visualize this graph?
Half wonder if it would be clearer to show what isn’t connected
They put “anarcho”-capitalism, the meme ideology that has the most incel energy, right next to all the different kinds of feminism. Also, “anarcho”-capitalism os closer to radical feminism than it is to objectivism, the pseudophilosophical drivel that is essentially boils down to being a flavour of "an"caps that are more open about their hatred for the poor. How can anyone take this seriously?
when “programmers think they are experts in everything that deals with computers”
The thing is, they usually aren’t even experts in that. Your typical programmer seems to have no idea how computers actually work, and thinks they’re magical self-sufficient machines that will someday be able to run entire economies with no actual production happening.
Can confirm, I’m a programmer and all we do is pray to the machine spirit and hopefully our next
human sacrificeintern will please it.As a programmer, this is clearly dark magic:
I also note how they start by talking about the intervention in Hungary, but don’t mention Khrushchev’s involvement, then later use Tankie’s bashing Khrushchev as an example of their extremism.
that’s because the authors don’t understand what they’re talking about; they think their APIs can answer all those questions for them.
Where ‘toxic’ is not being in lockstep with State department narrative.
I find it fascinating how the Western world defines extremism as straying from its conventional beliefs. It is intriguing to observe that holding views such as homelessness being acceptable or denying individuals’ right to healthcare, which align with mainstream ideologies in the West, are not considered extreme. Instead, it is those who advocate for universal healthcare and housing who are deemed extremists by society. 🤡
when i feed the poor, they call me a saint. when i ask why the poor are hungry, they call me a communist.
Fascists in ivory towers getting all that money for funding which could have been used for medical or something acutally useful to society can’t even get their chud internet history site right, the_donald went to the website of the same name which is now that patriots site.
But if they helped society how cpuld they say communists are evil
Good point afterall fascism is a self-hating misanthropic mass death cult at its core , so said academics would follow suit
“Revisionist World Powers”
Hell, I’ll take a
revisionistRussia. Glad to hear they never abandoned socialism, at least.1991 who?
the red flag rises once more
A certain Albanian (and a certain Wisconsonian) would probably agree.
the plot thiccens
wisconscom: rips off fake mustache
“And I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!”
*Wisconsinite
Imagine if one day they start talking about how tankies have a derogatory nickname for Wisconsinites
That was my take away: brand new thought terminating cliche dropped.
Give them a ride in the tank, they’ll flip.
“made them the dominate voice”
bro, tankies made lemmygrad for tankies
It’s like, in the name lol
tankies literally made the entire fuckin platform lol
I mean, when you are the only voice, it also makes you the dominant voice. So it isn’t wrong to say we have the dominant voice here.
Sounds like the meme
The term critical support is not mentioned even once
“The relentless support for authoritarian governments”
Im still confused by that, WHO HERE SUPPORTS THE UNITED STATES?!?!
Critical support to US in its heroic struggle to destroy US. 🫡 /j
I guarantee without a doubt that the author was wearing a diaper when they wrote that.
What’s wrong with wearing a diaper
I’m not saying anything is wrong with it. I just know they were wearing one.
…Urinary incontinence makes people libs?
Thank you for standing up for people with “unsightly” health issues. It’s so important. 🥺 You’re so cool. 🥰
He was implying that the person who wrote this is a baby.
I know, probably, and I’m sure… I mean, I play into that stigma sometimes myself, in fact I was initially going to write that first comment as a parody of “Don’t Be a Sucker” – but I stopped for a moment and figured that I might as well take the initiative to point out the real stigma against adult diapers while I thought about it, because that stigma does affect a lot of people and that could very well include many of us some day.
The problem is of course that it’s one of those stigmas where nobody really wants to challenge it precisely because it is so normalized, so bringing it up at all feels weird, forced, mood-killing, or even “suspicious”.
To be fair, I am very certain that they didn’t mean adult diapers but rather very large baby diapers. In the context of these jokes, the people mocked are figurative babies, some weirdo conservatives
emulating babies, or adult fetishists emulating babies (ABDL, etc.). Adult incontinence issues are absolutely not a part of it.To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Hexbear diaper fetish jokes
Are you wearing a nappy?
I’m completely naked and fondliing my butthole thinking about you
Ahh the old nappy dappy
The libs has sent in a silly letter…
We shall post in our forum and laugh ourselves silly over it.
