I can’t stop thinking about that really fucked up map of the US in Transformers

Did you see the moon is wet?? I think that's why people aren't handling things well
Love that everyone collectively and without words agreed to not be normal about this
idk how to explain to people outside latin america that during the cold war while everyone was praising the west for it’s freedom and progress compared to the horrors of the communist dictators in the east, thousands of latines where being murdered, tortured and silenced by capitalist dictatorships that were directly supported by the us and are the main reason why latin america is a “poor” region nowdays as they completely destroyed our economies. like, i know i’ve already talked about this before here but it’s so infuriating how everyone uses the “communism killed thousands of people/communism is a dictatorship” every fucking time while forgetting how almost every latin american country went through a capitalist dictatorship. like, it’s honestly amazing how those years of history are erased and ignored on porpuse by everyone because of first world capitalist propaganda that loves to paint capitalism as the only system that can secure freedom. that’s the reason many people condemn latin america of being “ruined by socialism”, because it is true many latin american countries remember the horrors of those dictatorships and are more socialist today thanks to it. but we weren’t ruined by socialism, it was capitalism (and colonialism) what made this to us and now everyone pretends it’s because we’re socialists.
as many profesors said to the class when talking about it:
“they call it the cold war because there wasnt any actual war happening. for them”

while news coverage has largely dropped off, #BlackLivesMatter protests are still happening! Alexis Williams has created a website with an enormous wealth of resources, including a list of petitions, places to donate, and tons more info
I love the Winnie the Pooh newspaper comics. Everyone’s such a dick to eachother, it’s so out of character. Is it simply called “Winnie the Pooh”? I never bothered to read the title, I just call it “It’s Always Sunny in the Hundred Acre Woods”

I fully expect to be dragged for this but Sonic would most likely stop existing if capitalism was destroyed, at least in any recognizable form. Would the end of Sonic (whether completely or "as we know it") be worth replacing capitalism with socialism or communism in your eyes?

You do know that socialism doesn’t mean outlawing entertainment products and dissolving all the game studios, right? The goal is to give workers control over the means of production, not to stop producing things. Like how all those ex-Lab Zero folks just started a new employee-owned studio that functions as a worker co-op. That’s the kind of thing we want
I guess you don’t know this because otherwise you wouldn’t have sent this
i was bracing to read a fascinating argument that the conditions that spawned sonic the hedgehog (market research specifically trying to create a “sellable” character / design by committee) could only exist under capitalism.
but no. i have no idea what is going through this anon’s brain
