excuse me, this is fan site for the podcast Citations Needed, get your facts straight.

also lmao, when you end up calling anarchists leninists you are proving us right -- you do need to be educated about the definitions of basic terms.

this movement you have here

my dude, this is an internet forum. despite what some may think, this site is not in fact the front lines of the movement that will bring about communism.

so I don't think anyone gives two shits about convincing you of anything. best I can dream of is getting you to learn the definitions of words like "prole".

One graffito attests that visitors had to explore the dark tunnels and painted images by torchlight, making a pun on the visitor's name, Dadouchios (Greek: Δᾳδούχιος) and the Greek: δᾳδοῦχος, translit. daidoukhos, lit. "torch":

Δᾳδούχιος σχολαστικὸς ἰατ(ρὸς) ἦλθον κ(αὶ) ἐθαύμασα καὶ ἄεπος ἦλθα δᾳδοῦχος

I, Dadouchios, scholastikos (and) physician came and admired in silence bearing a torch

Ancient shitposting on the tomb wall.

Is there another app you'd suggest instead? Signal seems to work well for OP's use case.

Good for what?

We're a non-sectarian leftist shitposting instance, steeped in seven layers of irony.

Meaning we're Xi's paid propagandists for the CPC and the inner circle of Putin's cult of personality.

Around these parts, when you see the word "materialism", it's being used in the philosophical sense, rather than the common usage.

Materialism is a set of related theories which hold that all entities and processes are composed of – or are reducible to – matter, material forces or physical processes. All events and facts are explainable, actually or in principle, in terms of body, material objects or dynamic material changes or movements. In general, the metaphysical theory of materialism entails the denial of the reality of spiritual beings, consciousness and mental or psychic states or processes, as ontologically distinct from, or independent of, material changes or processes.

Had to look it up too. Looks like it's some LessWrong nonsense, and he calls himself an "effective accelerationist".

Jesus, I know what you mean. I've been on this site from the beginning, off and on, but sometimes it's hard to tell what's sarcasm, or if it's a bit. For example:

Definitely a bit: /u/NeeraTanden

Still can't tell if it's a bit: /u/LiberalSocialist

As to anti-communist -- why would I care, I'm an Anarchist.

Lol. Lmao, even.

I'd think you'd care for practical reasons, at least. Has there ever been an instance of severe persecution of communists without lumping in anarchists as well? I'm seriously asking; I just know that the Red Scare targeted anarchists just as much as communists, but idk if that changed at all over the course of the century.
