        For real though, the most these people could ever accomplish is to be modern Rosa-killers.

            Payments have been sent annually, but only one lease payment has been accepted since the Cuban Revolution and Fidel Castro claimed that this check was deposited due to confusion in 1959. The Cuban government has not deposited any other lease check since that time.

      This person has never once called someone any of these things to their face or even online without being anonymous. They’ve never stood up to or for anything. I would put money on the fact they nevee discuss politics offline, fearing any kind of conflict. They likely take their bosses abuse and kiss their ass for it in return, then go home to their keyboard to play act owning an imaginary boogeyman with a bunch of other cowardly online weirdos.

        I had an old friend come into town and he had made transphobia his personality. He hit me with some shit about manipulating children and I hit him with my old reliable “what the fuck are you talking about?” and he folded. It’s like three steps to be offended by that shit. You’d need to recognize what they’re talking about, recognize it as an insult, and choose to react to the insult. It’s literally easier to steamroll past it than to engage on inane insult. The alternative is to ask them about the name and get a history lesson from someone you don’t like. This shit is not how people talk outside of a work by Aaron Sorkin.

        This person will never confront a “tankie” in real life. These people are cowards, afraid that they might be outclassed by someone who has read theory and history. Their own words would strike hollow against someone who believes in something.

        i think it comes from some

        cw meat

        slaughterhouse cube of condensed frozen meat that was photographed outside of a factory in ukraine and redditors immediately started saying it was a bunch of dead soldiers from the Russo-Ukrainian war.

      Is this person 12? I didn’t make it very far into his school yard insults but I def hope it’s the stupidest shit I read all day.

      I’m this close to going on reddit and tagging his name with RES flair just so I know not to even bother engaging with this absolute child ass human.

      The only thing any of these terms would get me to feel is disdain

      and unsurprisingly most of these terms are also racist

        That’s because the person is, but if you told them that they’d lose it.
