“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” - Mark Twain

My biggest vice is definitely drugs. Weed and alcohol mostly.
1·6 days agoYeah that’s why we support destroying capitalism. What are you not getting here?
We don’t intend to achieve power through elections
Fascism cannot be stopped with your vote. Hitler wasn’t elected and he certainly couldn’t be removed by election. This is the same for Mussolini, Petain, Franco, Hirohito, etc. We don’t “show up” IRL to vote against fascism because we recognize it is a ridiculous exercise in futility. We do show up IRL at our political organizations which lead protests against the Palestinian genocide, fascism, ecocide, the illegal blockade of Cuba and so so much more. Not only do we educate people politically and agitate within our workplaces and community spaces, we (attempt to) build lasting parties that materially provide for the communities they rely on. So far we haven’t had great success and overthrown the bourgeois state, that is because things take time and we are faced with both very powerful enemies and a very well conditioned public.
We aren’t voting because we don’t want to support genocide not because we “can’t be bothered”
I genuinely wonder if liberals are literate. Do you even try to read what we write?
Admittedly the last part os true but I think it is your title that drew them in

Honestly same outside of books. My local book stores just don’t have what I need.
Thank you comrade. Hadn’t seen this before ❤️
Meeting my partner. We technically met before this but didn’t interact until we played as the witches from macbeth. First time we held hands. A mutual friend of ours from that time was the third witch and will forever be a part of our early memories of our relationship even though we haven’t seen him in 4 or so years.
