This is an incredibly pessimistic outlook and one I’m glad that, for instance, the makers of Star Trek The Next Generation didn’t share.

When TNG was coming out, the world was reeling from the stagflation of the 1970s and the economic shocks of Reaganomics and Thatcherism.

And still TNG is a very optimistic show, that still managed to touch on the issues of its day in a realistic and non-naive manner.

Every single one I ever used. I even disabled iMessage once because I was annoyed it wasn’t syncing properly between the phone and the computer.

Learned this very early at my first job. I was new to the whole content writing industry so I kept to just writing the minimum expected 2000 words per day.

Meanwhile two other coworkers with more experience wanted to impress the management I guess and wrote way above that.

The result? More and more work for them. And also when performance reviews came along I was the only one to get a raise because “the quality of my writing was above average in the company.”

In the end, they were punished for “over productivity” while I was rewarded because sticking with the minimum word counts meant I had time to polish my work.

What a disgusting failure on Christ Carter’s part for this art to reflect current things and attitudes. Doesn’t he know that the point of art is for me to feel smug about being on the right side of history? We must cancel him.

Unless this is in the context of an actual active political party none of what you wrote matters.

Individuals can be weird and regarded. But you know what? I’d rather organise with someone who incorrectly believes that Stalin did no wrong but is otherwise committed to socialism than you censorious purity testing lot.

I’m a random idiot from Serbia and you’re interrogating me as if I’m not posting on a niche Reddit clone but applying to be in the central committee of your party.

Oh you sussed me out inspector. I’m a total “redfash”.

I don’t have to justify myself to you.

And this whole thread, this swarm of bullshit over just saying the word “tankie” is tired and overused.

Just makes you look totally off your rocker collectively.

It’s so interesting how for all your radical posturing you’re still stooges for American imperialism.

Parroting the State Department is so revolutionary.

I’ve noticed this interrogative style more and more in my runs in with the woke, both offline and online.

So my question to you is — what the fuck do you think you’re doing?

This doesn’t make you look strong or confident. It makes you sound like a soyboy.

Tankie now means the same as Nazi — “a person with a political view I don’t like”.

I’ve seen people called tankies for not toeing the Trotskyist line on Stalin (this btw is the original meaning) but also for being socialists and not really vibing with the newest gender updates.

Also if you’re defederating with other instances over crap like this, why not just host a BBS?

Got back from my one week vacation. Didn’t have any money so I just went to my grandma’s house in a nice village, took some forest walks.

Now I’m back in my apartment that I had to treat for fleas last week. My dad helped, we sprayed literally every inch of this place.

Still kind of anxious about it because my cat is with me again (she was with my parents while we treated the place since the chemicals are toxic).

Right now I am waiting for the dryer to finish drying my sheets so that I have something to sleep on tonight.

Touch grass.
