I was trying to draw a comparison to how the KPD formed in the first place. they were a group within the spd who were horrified at their colleagues voting in support of a brutal imperialist war and left (or rather were kicked out) of the party. Imo there has to be a moral line somewhere after which you refuse to vote for or even be in government with someone.

And it is not just the uk's system of elections, as I mentioned this pattern happens across all of Europe and the United States, which leads me to also believe it's an inherent feature of "liberal" bourgeois democracy and the kpd were right to roll the dice and try to fight it through non electoral means.

well, sometimes people on the internet are women or gay. Also, I don't think that's true, Russian internet culture is just really misogynistic (more overtly than the "western" internet) so women sometimes use male pronouns. I'm Russian too and know a few women who do this.

Assuming everyone is male is actually part of the misogyny, please try not to do that

I mean, we're seeing the same thing (sans the communist orgs) play out in real time across Europe now. In Britain, labor purges Jeremy corbyn and his ilk, then gets elected with a solid mandate, then promises to gut the NHS and promotes transphobic policies (for no material benefit) in the name of coalition building anyway.

What distinguishes these "bipartisan" labourists and their american equivalents from the Tories except different colored hats? Would you also blame corbyn for running against these people?

How can a man with over 10 children be more of an incel than me a literal involuntary celibate

To be fair it's not a mysterious "they", it's just an option available for channel owners to set alternative thumbnails and then check which does better. I don't think YouTube does this by itself if the uploader doesn't enable it

There's a long tail of servers/bartenders who are against this as well because they work at expensive establishments and make bank off tips. Like high double digits an hour.

If the push to convert tips into wages ever becomes serious, conservative media will do its best to platform and promote these servers who stand to lose income off it. We gotta think of a rhetoric/messaging strategy to counter that.

At what point does Biden send in the national guard to liberate these poor people from dictatorship? He's legally allowed to do it now right?
