Mao wasn't a Maoist, yeah (just like Lenin wasn't a Leninist or Marx a Marxist), but Gonzalo didn't invent Maoism, just theorized one strain of it out of several.

And MLs who liked Mao definitely weren't the majority of MLs in the world post Sino-Soviet split. Anti-revisionist MLs and Maoists split off as the majority of the world's ML parties followed the CPSU into revisionism, culminating in the collapse of the Eastern bloc and most MLs abandoning Marxism entirely to become succdems. It's only since then that the MLs left have come back around to Mao.

The DPRK has supported Palestine for a long time though.

God, Neoplatonism had the best world building

Fuck that. There's nothing humane about letting Israel occupy a square inch of Palestine. Advocating 2 state is as bad as other reactionary takes that'll get you banned, IMO.

Uncritical support to the trots that run that website: the only trots that have my full support

Pausing my dating app profiles because I've meet so many cool people that I'm at my limit for now. Like all of my friends and lovers I've met off of that shit (except my best friend, who I met on this fucking website, lol). Still insane to me that cool people wanna be my friends and hot people wanna fuck me; but it's true. I just never saw it before getting on the apps

Sounds like we need a purge. Shit like that shouldn't be tolerated at all.

Complete 5 for me. Also, I have an internal voice, but that voice is just me. Basically just putting thoughts into words so that I can express them, nothing different from whatever the "I" or "self" is.

For the record: I always score very high on tests of spatial memory, those tests where you are supposed to have to rotate objects to find the answer, and stuff like that. I enjoy reading fiction; I like reading more than watching movies for the most part. And in general don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, or that aphantasia gives me any problems thinking at all. I often can't tell who someone is from seeing their face, but I think that's the autism.

I remember we had a demographics survey a long time ago and were already pretty trans; I wonder what the numbers are now. I think there's a lot of us who have changed a little sense then, lol
