My friend made me install Bumble. I want something that leftists will recognize but that won’t immediately scare off liberals (I can fix them)
Does anyone have any cool Lenin quotes for this purpose or something
sure thing just put this in your bio:
“The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, leading to almost totally equal redistribution of the land amongst the peasantry”
Can’t wait to match with the leftist love of my life only for our accounts to get terminated before exchanging phone numbers because we’re inciting violence against landowners
smh my head, this is why we need open source dating apps
(but like if we could get everyone on dating apps to use one that unironically would be infinitely better than the shit we have now)
I keep trying to think of some witty, humorous commentary about an open source dating app, but all of them are just abusive precursors to founding a cult…
Weird, but then why Wikipedia says “Mao’s policies were responsible for vast numbers of deaths, with estimates ranging from 40 to 80 million victims due to starvation” ? 🤷 EDIT : Oops didn’t realize on which instance I was, sorry.
For context, tens of millions of people being wiped out by famine was something that happened every couple of decades in China. What makes the famine under Mao notable was that it was the last famine China ever had, thanks in large part to the comprehensive revolution mentioned above, which allowed the state to pursue long term policies that benefitted the whole society instead of the wealthy class
Famines on this scale were relatively normal in China and a mainstay of the Chinese Empire’s boom and bust cycles, as well as ecological catastrophe spreading thin the fragile bureaucracy. Only one government in China has been shown to be able to decisively end famine since, and it’s the same one that eradicated absolute poverty. Hope that helps!
If you used the same metric to quantify the deaths during the Great Depression in the United States, you would end up with a death toll of 11 million
yeah awesome show. Plus there’s this synthwave mix I really like on youtube that loops this scene and it mesmerizes me every time I put it on for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAhvvQQurw4
“No bigots”
Here is about 10 good ones I wrote, if you can’t see them you must be a and unable to hear the dog whistle.
☭ < fuck subtlety, put this in your bio
@Finger@hexbear.net say the line, bart
I think any sort of play on “workers of the world unite!” Or even a conspicuously placed use of the word “union” would trigger my leftist alarm.
