  • I just find it neat that former and current “communist” (broad term for this) countries have a high level of home ownership. People largely like to pretend that under communism you own nothing, while in reality, nations who even for a brief period of aspiring to communism had given what were peasants who didn’t own their own shirt a whole ass house and let them own it. No rent, No payment. Just supplied it.

    It’s neato. An interesting statistic that dispels partially the myth that (what the OP said I think, it may have been another person) that communism never built wealth for anyone. It did at times. Just not in the way we normally like to view it. The american dream to own your own home.

    But I am not willing to sit and argue every minute detail of this explanation. Such as when one person said “not a single one is communist” Which while technically true, is not worth the time to discuss with someone who is just using a very common bait.

















  • I want you to genuinely think. Will more queer folk be harmed under Biden or Trump? It’s a cynical question. But you can’t lie to yourself and say the answer is the same. That’s my simple math.

    Saying I’m going to “stand by and shrug my shoulders”. You don’t know me. Your arguing a faceless amalgamation of every liberal who vaguely says something liberal. Understand I am not a liberal. Understand that I have stake in this. Understand that we both can shit on Biden all god damn day but at the end of it, we both know queer folk will suffer less under Biden. That doesn’t mean he’s going to fix it. Doesn’t mean he’s going to be a big ol trans flag waving person. He simply will not accelerate it.

    I’ll take the extra time. Because unless your planning on grabbing and gun and popping shots in the next few months, that’s the fucking choice right now. And I’ll take the extra time rather than the guy who’s gonna turn your states anti trans legislation into federal legislation.

    It’s cynical. But thems the breaks.

    Respect comrade. We are in this boat together.
