For over a decade every one of my wallpapers was an Aenami piece. They’re just so dang cool.

V762 Cassiopeiae: am I a joke to you?

It’s not an either-or situation. Vote for Kamala and organize for socialism. Voting is super easy, it just takes a little time once every four years.

I fully believe a socialist revolution will only be made exponentially more difficult under Republican leadership, it wouldn’t make anything better, and it would hurt many people I love.

I’m I the only one who saw the back of the chair as the person’s hair in the first two panels?

But what’s your straight line distance to the Parthenon?

It does matter, even if you don’t view it as significant in the broader context. Even from the perspective of starting a communist revolution, the more fascist and conservative the government, the more brutal the suppression.

My personal position is not for one system of government over the other as much as it is for better outcomes for society. I have enough trans friends and relatives that I want as few conservative reactionaries in power as possible.

Since it seems unlikely for capitalism to be toppled before the republican party crumbles, I still think it’s worth working towards, especially when it just takes a single piece of paperwork every couple years to help.

It seems to me like the two versions aren’t mutually exclusive. A better voting system that allows for more parties would undoubtedly lead to more parties winning votes, but such a reform would also run against the interests of the ruling class.

I mean, there’s many nations with more than two parties, including progressive parties, but I don’t see a reason why that’s more in line with the ruling class there than here.

It’s not so much about blame to my mind than it is about the way systems feed into each other.

However you slice it, whatever prior conditions you see as most important, replacing the republican party with one left of democrats would be a huge improvement.

Frankly I’m not sure what the leadership would look like. It would start as the progressive caucus, but it would naturally evolve from there based on the voters.

I think the reason many current ‘progressive’ leaders abandon progressive policies has more to do with our current political paradigm than personal flaws of the leaders.

If there were a progressive party with a progressive base it would make progressive policies key to getting votes.

Democrats should be the right wing party, and the other party should be Progressives. Republicans have proven themselves incapable of governing.

Whiteness, at least from a racist perspective, isn’t really about skin color, it’s more like a club for ‘approved’ ethnicities. There’s many Italians with darker skin than Mexicans, but Italians are considered ‘white’ and Mexicans are not. Same for large parts of the Middle East and Asia.

Romani are white skinned Europeans, but they’re not ‘racist approved’, so they make up rumors they’re actually from Egypt and omit them from the White Club.

The determination for what counts as white is highly inconsistent. Before the 1700s Germans were not considered white. Before the 1800s Irish were not considered white. For a time in the 1900s Finnish people were considered Asian (while many Finns were striking for better working conditions, what an odd coincidence). Italians weren’t considered white until about a hundred years ago. It goes on and on.

Heck, they can mind control people, wipe their memories, or take a potion and assume their identity. It would be like fighting the Face Dancers from Dune if they were all trained in The Voice.

He’s the second oldest overall, only Jimmy Carter beats him in age.

He’s the oldest living Republican former president.

I think it’s possible that nation states are inherently unstable. An improvement on monarchy, but still vulnerable to oligarchy.

I’m not sure what the future holds, or what comes next, but I suspect that federation will play an important role.

There’s hunter-gatherer tribes that have been more or less stable for over a thousand years. It’s said that the Nez Perce have lived on the Columbia River for 11,500 years.
