The dwarf planet.

  • I don't think he did what Max Blumenthal accused him of in that regard, but I could be wrong, and I'm not sure myself.

  • Ah, I see.

  • Ellipses?

  • That last part is a good point.

    It's... pretty big. But I like big and the Steam Deck is kinda big itself.

  • He evolved like a Pokemon, you see.

  • Uh, I'm not against accountability. We also don't really have a long history of pseudonymous publishing or one that's really that extensive. Why are you attacking and acting rude toward me? It's literally just one book out of many...

  • There's nothing really, I would say, wrong with PSL fundamentally. If they're doing actual activism rather than Internet shenanigans, then they're already more advanced than a lot of leftists out there.

  • The Filipino War, the genocide of Indigenous peoples, the ethnic cleansing of the "civilized tribes," New Deal and the inherent racism of it, etc. I'm, err, not exactly sure what I'm missing, but there you go.

    But hey, if you want to spite PatSocs, you do you. As you yourself said, there are better books now since 1979.

  • I'm non-white. The person misquotes several people and attacks several orgs I know in-person for being. We don't even know the person's credentials or whether they are a "Sakai" to begin with. Prove to me the credentials of the person and maybe I'll take what the person says at face-value; until then, read it critically and maybe consider the other side of the story when it comes to documenting the labor movement.

  • Uh, I was in a southern state. I learned a lof of what it talked about in several history classes before reaching college (which definitely did talk about this stuff as well).

  • Well-put.

  • Even to the communist movement nowadays...

  • Yeah, you said it.

  • Centers around a man named Lyndon LaRouche. Started in the 70s or thereabouts. His ideas, which are right-wing in nature, center around a sort-of "American socialism" that's very chauvinistic and bourgeous.

  • Yeah...

  • Mainly in the West, though of course, you see it with the PatSocs a lot.

  • Eh, Settlers is kinda a bad book, has been done better since 1979, and includes stuff you learn in history class in school anyway.

    The problem with the people supporting Blumenthal in the comments is that Twitter is filled with PatSocs and LaRouchites.

    So fuck 'em

  • Agreed!

  • Noice.
