Perfect, no notes.

Karl Marx belongs to everyone.

It’s first in our hearts.

Unironically good advice: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/is-spicy-food-good-for-you

“These heroes in Russia who have immortalized their cause, our cause, who have paid in overflowing measure in blood and tears and agony unspeakable, the price of their fidelity and devotion to the oppressed and exploited toilers not only of their own land but of the whole world, now appeal to us for the food that shall save them from perishing as hostages to starva- tion, and shall we now fail to return in small party what we owe them for what they have suffered in the awful years of the revolution to break the fetters of labor everywhere and set humanity free from the curse of the ages?” – some tankie I guess

“I have no reading comprehension skills” isn’t the own you think it is.

For the purpose of the satire, they left out the whole point of the books, which is something you’d know if your knowledge of LotR wasn’t based entirely on cultural osmosis.

Over 200,000 Palestinians haven’t survived the past year and you don’t care. Never trust a narcissist to have anyone else’s interest at heart.

You support genocide. You’re a geek without a soul.

On Hexbear, transphobes are executed on sight.

…this isn’t a news article… the headline being serious editorializing… Not saying it’s not true…

It’s a modern term (named after creationist Duane Gish) for an old-as-dirt oral debate tactic: spew as much bullshit, lies, half-truths and occasional facts as you can in order to bamboozle your audience, as well as put your debate opponent into a position of needing to debunk your nonsense rather than argue their own points.

No, it’s literally impossible to Gish gallop with text – readers take in texts at their own pace, they can re-read sections until they fully understand what authors are trying to express, they can stop reading texts and fact-check authors at any time, they can choose to stop reading texts whenever they feel confused or overwhelmed. Text-based debates (or conversations in this case) neutralize all the rhetorical tricks of the Gish gallop. Stop carrying water for genocide enthusiasts.

“Gish gallops” are intended to bamboozle the uninformed audiences of spoken debates; you can’t “Gish gallop” in an online text conversion. Stop carrying water for genocide enthusiasts.

Thank you for your service.

Not at all surprising. Hell, Hillary Clinton beat Trump by 2.5 million votes in 2016 and she appointed him to the fucking presidency.
