Why the fuck are Reddit Lefties so insufferable? Got banned from the /r/debatecommunism discord server for posting the boomer meme. Pic semi related, but only the head. How in the fuck is this ableist? Why the fuck are these people claiming to be leftists yet do nothing but whinge about muh pronouns and muh mean reaction images?
Why the fuck are Reddit Lefties so insufferable...

Jordan Cox
Ironically the only left subreddit where you can basically say whatever you want is /r/chapotraphouse
Cooper Murphy
This is true
Tyler Allen
How is that ironic?
Kayden Cooper
they unironically think pointing out how some people are stupid makes you a reactionary.
I've come to start tuning them out in the online left scene
Evan Reyes
That place is still full of liberals
Michael Gomez
Yeah its fucking terrible, but this board and Zig Forums frankly aren't any better for the reason that you'll still get fucking banned all the time for no reason. Honestly it doesn't make a difference if someone gets banned for using the wrong pronouns on /r/socialism or simply not liking X statesmen in the case of this board(or liking X statesmen in the case of Zig Forums), since you're getting fucked in the ass by moderators either way.
I really doubt that
Justin Peterson
Its worth noting most normalfag leftists internalize a lot of boomer ideology whether they are "SJWs" or not, whether its anti incel rhetoric here or PSL drones on twitter hating on NEETs. So its no wonder they got mad at that pic, since they unconsciously know they are boomer tier
Ryder Campbell
It's true though. They don't even ban morons from /r/the_donald.
Isaiah Jenkins
That's good then, I used to really hate Chapo but if they are woke on the moderator question I'll give them credit where credit is due
Christopher Barnes
no need to turn this into a whine thread about moderation here
promoting identity politics needs to get banned, bumplocked, deleted and all the good shit
whether it's about "intersectionality" or attacking identity groups, that shit has no place here
this is a board supposed to be on topics of leftism, not bourgeois twaddle distracting from the working class
and no, there is no equivalence in antiimperialism to idpol
just stop this obvious false flag
nobody here has to like Putin or Assad, the question is whether people here are delusional thinking they have a say on who the syrian people rally behind in their antiimperialist struggle
same for venezuela and so on
this again is a question on being steadfest leftists or imperialist regime change apologists
Andrew Cooper
Bye bye baboon left
Levi Cooper
fuck no they are obnoxious
Angel Moore

Brandon Hernandez
Because these "leftists" are liberals. Literally, that's it.
They aren't lying about being leftists, per se, as much as they do not know the difference because they don't really believe in anything (most of them are American, unsurprisingly). Politics that are not about identitarian drama do not exist to them.
Angel Kelly
Isn't that exactly what the BO and marcyites are doing by insisting that all the people who are actually in Syria and support the YP.G must be imperialist puppets? Same with the mass protests in Iran last year
Carter Jackson
We must call those “leftists” for whom they really are: petit-bourgeois.
Mason Sullivan
Actually
On September 17, the Soviet Union invaded eastern Poland and occupied the Polish territory assigned to it by the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, followed by co-ordination with German forces in Poland.[19][20]
The British, French and German Communist parties, all originally war supporters, abandoned their anti-fascist crusades, demanded peace and denounced Allied governments.[21] The Communist Party turned the focus of its public activities from anti-fascism to advocating peace, not only opposing military preparations, but also condemning those opposed to Hitler. The party attacked British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French leader Édouard Daladier, but it did not at first attack President Roosevelt, reasoning that this could devastate American Communism, blaming instead Roosevelt's advisors.[21]

Oh my god, tell me about it. Everyone's creaming themselves over Ocasio-Cortez for some reason. Its quite frankly pathetic.
Jackson Hall
How do i know your not making this up?
Gabriel Kelly
I have screenshots on my gyazo that I can post.
Matthew Sullivan
post your nudes
Bentley Bailey
Like what? Talking about sex?
Jaxon Sullivan
i don't have a particular liking for him and his policies besides successfully resisting an imperialist plot,
but that's more than good enough for me
totally different thing, are you retarded boy?
you don't have to like assad to oppose faggots joining bootlickers of the US stationing their own troops inside syria
Hudson Hill
imagine being this drugged out of your mind or a right wing propagandist that doesn't care much about covering up
Robert Cook
also
imagine having such a weak argument your constantly fall back to something retarded as comparing a small desert region with the Soviet Union that just earned its title as a world power and was capable of destroying the majority of the military force of one of the most aggressive and militaristic imperialist nations at that time which maintained a handful of airbases for US usage while preserving their own air supperiority as well as rejecting the US having their own defenses to remain souvereign of that area
yeah, totally the same fucking thing
if someone can spout such utter bullshit to jump in for defending US imperialism you just know that person is secretly begging to be shown the mercy of a bullet to their head
Nathaniel Butler
They're really into what's called "performative politics".
It's more about looking like a good person, increasing your social capital and maintaining your status within your social circle than actual politics or trying to make anyone's life better. These are the sorts of people who actually complain that leftist ideas are becoming more popular because they see it more like a niche hipster subculture than a real political movement of mass politics.
Hudson Turner
Meta.
But with theory books instead.
James Nelson
based baboon poster strikes again
Robert Lee
Banned for posting Wojak edit #941? Maybe they have taste.
… never mind.
Jeremiah Harris
Liberals are the cancer that's killing the left
Isaiah Anderson
I'm not really trying to equate them at all, in fact I really loath straight up imperialist apologia on the left I am not anti over a dozen US military bases in Syria/PKK necessarily and don't automatically consider support for them to be pro imperialist I just don't think they should be banned, neither should the esjaydubas or neo nazis unless the BO wants to take legal responsibility for what we say and do here. Nobody here actually agrees on what a "proper" anti idpol line/stance entails anyway, otherwise threads on the subject wouldn't be so heated. Zig Forums and Zig Forums should be about creating a leftist imageboard free of moderator tyranny(ie actual communist principles) as opposed to enforcing a alternative consensus through bans, though that will never happen since nobody wants to realize moderators are the fucking problem.
Ethan Rodriguez
Charles Sanders
Agreed, mods should be here to clean up spam and maybe 'avin a giggle at some dumb Zig Forumsack expense, nothing more.
Josiah Bennett
They'll delete your post if you use the word "man child" too
Gavin Moore
Julian Johnson
t.protofascist
Hudson Reed
only the left communist subreddits were alright but they're all private/deleted now
Anthony Nguyen
r/communism is not that bad, I've had some nice discussions there, it is a Dengist feud though, it surprises the amount of them that go there
Grayson Bennett
Joshua Hall
got to give them points for consistency i guess
Oliver Bailey
Zig Forums would be a much better place if those fuckers from reddit were banned. I'm willing to bet my left nut that there wouldn't even be a split if BO had a no tolerance towards them.
Colton Peterson
Nah, you should ban blatant apologia for US imperialism, which is likely done by paid agents anyway.
John Diaz
Not all opinions are equally valid, and we actually put in effort to defend ours.
Bentley Mitchell
pick one
Colton Young
Cooper King
You deserve life sentence in gulag for posting this shitty meme.
Luke Harris
Its the end game of you lefties isnt it?
Kurt Vonnegut wrote a story about it
Jackson Taylor
I know you are baiting, but Vonnegut was a literal socialist and the short story are more parodies of the shoddy argument against equality than against it.
Chase Baker
they are fucking jew liberals thats why. same reason so many starved in ukraine was jewish subversion and forced starvation. they wont let us reach our full potential
Jason James
Now this shit just don't add up
Justin Foster
the same jew liberals you pretend to hate are the ones promoting underground nazi movements in the country you pretend to care about.
Jason Powell
Because it's controlled by the CIA
Parker Lewis
Remineer that Soros during the Nazi occupation of Hungary collaborated with the Nazis despite being Jewish, and founded Croatian fascists during the Yugoslavian war, as well as the facist wave going around Ukraine, same think supporting the parties in the Baltic exSSRS, wich are rehabilitating Nazi figures.
This men is the definition of a capitalist, he does everything that profits him does not care about the other things.
I sughest you watch his interview about when he "crashed" the British Pound.
Gabriel Collins
Reminder that his father also funded an Esperanto journal when he got out of the gulag
Zachary Jackson
Just don't go on Reddit at all, and just don't try to engage with leftists online in general. It's fucking terrible once you get involved in all the communities with incredibly petty drama. I just lurk here, shitpost on twitter and discord occasionally and it's still fucking draining once people start acting "serious" about whatever new bullshit comes up.
I've come to the conclusion that the only good community on the internet is the Syrian Civil War subreddit since the mods have actual transparency and organization and have told the reddit admins to fuck off on multiple occasions. Everything else is literally just garbage, spend your personal time on better things
Caleb Cooper
kek i havent seen this do they call them lumpenproles or something
Joshua Evans
Its just drama on twitter between them and twitter leftcoms who may like Muke, Jehu or whatever. A lot of the rhetoric from the PSL drones consists of reeing about muh reparations and muh entitlement(boomer tier as I said). Of course they haven't watched Jim Profit(otherwise known as James Lucerative) and don't know that "muh entitlement" is one of western culture's ways of upholding the capitalist system.
Sebastian Peterson
This is unironically the worst part tbh.
John Morgan
people are creaming themselves over Ocasio because burgers don't have anything else to cream over, we're in that shitty of a state.
Alexander Foster
Can someone explain to me why this meme has boomers drinking Monster energy? Every boomer i've met had Coor's lite in their hands
John Howard
Everyone on the left is insufferable. Anarchist? Now you have to argue with a million MLs and Leftcoms. ML? Now you have to argue with a million Anarchists and Leftcoms. Leftcom? Now you have to argue with a million anarchists and MLs. I've never met any leftists (or centrists or right winger) I've got on with., GOAT friends are apolitical.
Jaxon Wilson
No you don’t, you cry to daddy BO to ban people who say things you disagree with.
Lucas Rivera
Soros was a literal child back when the nazis were a thing. Hate him all you want but you can't blame him for everything you don't like.
Carson Martin
Carson Lewis
lmao, nice boomer conservative talking point
Lucas Smith
Why the fuck do I like this so much? I've see it here recently, a bunch of pics, and now can't get enough.
Easton Gomez
The irony is moderators are pretty much kulaks all things considered, and I can actually see moderators getting same treatment as kulaks in a revolutionary scenario if still want to ban everyone just because its "muh property"
Dylan Roberts
Ethan Brooks
The only good leftist subreddit is r/leftisthottakes
Austin Peterson
what's the issue with reddit ultraleftoids shutting down all their subs?
Jack Cooper
splitting, probably
Bentley Murphy
30 year olds are not boomers. saged for ignorant meme, and gulag time for you.
Hunter Butler
I mean, do you have any idea how much of a minority are hard-line leftist on internet ? how long the radical line will stay if half the threads are red lib discussing how assad is ultimately bad enough syria deserve to get bombed ?
Camden Smith
I don't see how banning them helps combat imperialism at all though, it would be better to use it as an opportunity to black/redpill them on the Syrian civil war if possible
Jaxson Perez
Because Reddit is made for Boomers, That's why
Jace King
this too tbh, spiritual ones at least
Alexander Clark
Hitler is kind of a hero in this regard. The world really owes him a debt of gratitude. Britain deserved every bomb and then some. He should have hit France harder too, but frogs roll over too quickly.
Lincoln Young
Lime drones disturb me more than Nazis.
Christian Scott
Reddit is the least spiritual place on the internet. It's the capital of I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE faggotry.
Ryder Gray
Has Nazbol gone to far
This was the party line of most Communist Parties in Nazi Occupied Europe until Operation Barberosa.
Alexander Lee
...
Bentley Martin
The ComIntern begs to differ.
Isaiah Rogers
Why even discuss politics in Reddit?
He meant boomers at spirit, or heart, not boomers who are spiritual
Spirituality is bs anyway and worse than scientism, kys
Christopher Russell
Imperial slime.

Give the shit back and get your own history you flavorless demon island.

9 Strange Uses for Ancient Egyptian Mummies
BY BESS LOVEJOY AUGUST 18, 2015

Most people have only ever seen a genuine Egyptian mummy in a museum; fictional mummies, of course, are all over film, literature, and Halloween costume stores. But in centuries past, mummies were put to a variety of inventive uses: for art and commerce, science and entertainment, and possibly even to provide paper.
Many of these uses and abuses stemmed from the Egyptomania that gripped Europe and America throughout the 19th century, set off by Napoleon's invasion of the country in 1798 and nourished by a string of amazing archeological discoveries. By the 1830s, upper-class Western Europeans and Americans began flooding Egypt in search of treasure, and mummies became a chief prize—treated as a symbol of the entire country’s exotic allure, and the "mysteries of the Orient" more generally. The mummy madness progressed to the point where, Egyptologist Beverley Rogers notes, in 1833 monk Father Géramb remarked to the then-ruler of Egypt, Mohammed Ali, “it would be hardly respectable, on one’s return from Egypt, to present oneself in Europe without a mummy in one hand and a crocodile in the other.”

Read on for some lessons in just how disturbingly inventive our great-great-grandparents could be.
1. FOR MEDICINE
Strange as it may seem, people in early modern Europe frequently practiced a kind of cannibalism for health. According to historian Richard Sugg, "Up until the late 18th century, the human body was a widely accepted therapeutic agent. The most popular treatments involved flesh, bone, or blood, along with a variety of moss sometimes found on human skulls."
Mummy, often sold as “mummia” (a confusing word that also refers to the bitumen with which mummies were embalmed), was applied to the skin or powdered and mixed into drinks as a treatment for bruising and other ailments. The belief may have come from ancients such as Pliny the Elder, who wrote that the bitumen used to embalm mummies offered healing powers. Sugg says that adherents included the French King Francis I, as well as Francis Bacon, who wrote that “mummy has great force in staunching of blood.” Mummia became such big business that there was a trade in fake mummies—made from executed criminals, slaves, beggars, and camels—just to keep up with demand, much like today’s market for counterfeit pharmaceuticals.
2. AT PARTIES
Need a theme idea for your next get-together? Why not take a page (or a rag?) from the Victorians and hold a mummy unrolling party, which is exactly what it sounds like. While the craze is sometimes overstated—it’s not like every aristocrat watched Tutankhamen’s cousin unwrapped over sherry in his drawing room—these parties were a not-uncommon feature of 19th century British life, especially among those who fancied themselves the more scholarly sort.
According to Rogers, mummy unwrapping as a social event really got going in Britain starting in the 1820s, thanks to a circus performer-turned-antiquities salesman named Giovanni Belzoni. Belzoni made a name for himself in Egypt-obsessed circles after arranging for the removal of several massive Egyptian artifacts on behalf of British consul to Egypt Henry Salt. In 1821, he held a public mummy unwrapping as part of an exhibition of Egyptian antiquities near Piccadilly Circus. The event proved an enormous success—over 2000 people attended on opening day alone. One member of the audience was London surgeon and scholar Thomas Pettigrew, who was so enamored of the spectacle he began holding his own public, ticketed unrollings, usually with an accompanying lecture.
