yeah, forgot about him. was just saying this wasn’t the best example of the real phenomenon of americans using english accents for romanians or russians or finns bc 5/8 of the characters with significant screen time were actually just english and one was a swede.

i think lily-rose depp is the only american in the cast, but yeah it wasn’t great

seeing full on radlibs in turbolib spaces asking why they see two women holding hands in Guangzhou without getting arrested or why they’re getting makeup tips from a super fabulous dude who isn’t censored is turning into them just actively ignoring the scolding of the “adults in the room centrists who have a ‘friend’ from the mainland”. it’s beautiful and i hope it continues

yeah I stream of consciousnessed that but essentially where the greater political sophistication of the italian blocs during the years of lead required the actual physical manifestation of the strategy of tension in the form consistent low-level violence, the american political landscape requires significantly less effort. the state has already successfully neutralized any nascent organization with any promise. now, a constant conflict between largely incoherent parties is waged across media, and any left-wing attempt to point to the material reality of things is easily dismissed either as fantasy or conspiracy respectively by the predominant “sides” of the captured discourse.

They’re not really trying to because a lot of that comes from in-house and isn’t seen as a threat to the state. Something like ivermectin disinfo isn’t perceived as a threat to the state but too many Luigi memes are. “Protecting US citizens” is not a priority. US censorship regimes on social media however, absolutely do exist but they take the form or cooperation of the business with the state to deprioritize certain content.

exactly this, a lot of the crystal mom ivermectin flat earth secret chinese training grounds shit juxtaposed with conspiracy theorist as pejorative encourages an ideological years of lead dynamic that contributes to the political incoherence of the average disinterested american which is very much to the benefit of the military-industrial complex. as you said, the only perceived threats in this mind melting discourse are those which accurately point to capital as complicit in the average person’s lack of well-being

worst person great point etc

yeah i think a lot of us had that friend who got a little extra in competitive stuff but was cool otherwise, that’s how he always seemed to me in the blue/red games

correct. nobody has to contact the feds, as a bit or otherwise. I really don’t care whether it’s “low risk” or not, there’s no real reason to do it and nothing to be gained, as the response from them shows.

with regards to the “encouragement” thread, people here are always posting under a thousand layers of irony, but talking to or inquiring with the feds for any reason is generally a bad idea, and i don’t really care about how minor or fruitless it seems to some. it costs you absolutely nothing to not contact the feds.

in addition to the very good answers itt, a lot of alcoholics have a real hangup about being called or associating with addicts which is actually part of the back story of Narcotics Anonymous as a separate fellowship
