Yes, you do. Pretentious, Ayn Rand idolators whose music goes from interesting though boring to Oh God, make it STOP! inside of one 3 minute track is the best you've got? A band which produces Bastile Day?

There is a dramatic difference between fascism and Marxism, in that fascism is in and of itself an ideology of the strong, seeking to retain and perpetuate their unearned plutocratic status. In contrast, Communism is an ideology of the mass and exploited workers, seeking to get what they deserve in a world which only wants to put them down.

Which is why fascism can never be apologised for, whereas Marxism has some noble ideals, albeit ones which are very rarely realised.

Did you actually mistake posters for posts?

...

Do better.

There are quite a few examples of people saying unpleasant things about Conservatives, especially Thatcher and Cameron. Though, I'm not going to do his work for him by digging them out.

In virtually all cases, however, those are strongly worded criticisms of what individuals have done rather than who they are (akin to saying "Stalin was a bastard for sending millions of his people to gulags in Siberia" rather than "Stalin was a bastard for being a Communist"), and often those posts were here in Hell.

But a claim that there are people on the Ship who are antagonistic towards right wing politics would be undeniable. Raises a hand "I'm antagonistic towards right wing politics".

--------------------
Don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.

Ahem. Much as I like Canadian music (and in fact the music I last listened to this morning was Canadian), Hell is not really the place to be performing a series of reviews of everyone's preferred performers from there.

Mocking is what we do around here. So long as all everything is translated into English as per Ship requirements, I don't think we'd have a problem with mocking someone for doing it badly.

Just be warned that I might start practising disparaging remarks in Danish. It's surprising some of the sentences the course chooses to use to illustrate new words...

1. It's a fun word to type.


2. It flowed well in the sentence

3. I dunno, it just seems like if Saskatchewan was a school kid, it would be the one always getting punched in the face. Kind of like Minnesota.

4. How do you say it right?

It is usual practice for threads like this to wither and die naturally, shrivelling like an untended office plant.

All you're doing is offering it false hope: the leaves are already brittle and brown, and the soil as barren as Bibliophile's soul. Just let the thread sink.
