I shouldn't have to say this on a """communist""" forum, but here we are. Calling for unlimited genocide on the first world (lmao point out the "first world" on a map, I'll wait) is obviously reactionary on top of being idealist.

The idea that anything can be "unlimited" is pure capitalist decadence based on its foundational need for unlimited growth.

Any real socialist should be calling for a genocide that has its resources planned and allocated by a People's Genocide Committee and is then executed over five years. The genocide would be limited in both resource and geography, and thus, be a materialist genocide.

Or, even better, they might consider a means-tested genocide.

200 comments is nothing. If you wanna see struggles check out u/liberalsocialists history. There's also a meme from early federation that passed the 1000's. And outdoor-cat of course. and rock-stacking was way upthere too

edit: Gaze upon my 1000 comments in awe

Me too. Those were the days
This thread was great I remember making two callout posts from it that spawned their own 200+ comment threads. Great fun. One of them was some guy going on about how ukrainians were better trained than russians, just not for this war.

i definitely do not, the trans struggle sessions caused lots of damage

[-] Thallo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I don't remember any trans struggle sessions?

We're right about everything, so there's nothing to struggle over?

[-] HelltakerHomosexual@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

there were lots of people coming in to argue about trans rights

IIRC the worst trans struggle sessions were in the real early days long before federation, like the ones that ended with people being banned for having a noticeable pattern of downvoting trans users exclusively, or on whether pronoun tags should be mandatory, or on neo-pronouns being an option.
