Well, if you need any indication who's serious about communism or a poseur ask about their background and interests. Chances are the majority of them are same privileged white and Jewish people who live in expensive gated communities.
And this is why Affirmative Action is bad.
People from Latin America: Please stop saying Latinx.

There are people out there who still care about who wins "awards" for rich people from rich people. Never heard of Bon Iver but seeing they're a band it doesn't surprise me Nicki and her fans just see them as hillbillies with no talent who somehow used their privilege super powers to win a Grammy.
Bon Iver is a band not a person, and Justin Vernon has multiple hip hop collaborations including Kayne West's Monster.
LOTR is practically a celebration of an idealized beauty of historic western cultures. It is such a heartening read.
I wonder if she felt overshadowed and held a grudge, or maybe, more likely, her comments are the result of knee-jerk anti-white idiocy.
Looks like someone had a crappy family who couldn't cook.

Seriously. Thanksgiving dinner is a large meal. By definition it will take some effort to cook. That's why you gather people and share the tasks! My mother, my uncle and my aunt together can cook enough food to put the whole extended family in a food coma in about four hours with only a little bit of help. (I'm usually the one driving to the store to pick up things people forgot to buy the day before.)
Do you get the feeling these people read about Pol Pot and thought to themselves "you know, that's a guy who had his head screwed on straight!"? Because that's the only reason (outside of sheer shortsighted spite) I can think anyone would think people born in large cities, of any ethnic background, would be interested in having a farm. Even if you gave every black man and woman in America a whole square mile of good, fertile land to farm, plus all the equipment and materials needed, all that would happen is what always happens in situations like that: 99% of the land gets quickly sold to large, industrial farms, the former owners flock back to the cities, and everybody complains about rural oligarchs.
If you're talking about actual literature there were actually loads of very right wing authors in history. GK Chesterton was an outright tradcath (and related to the fascist AK Chesterton), Borges endorsed military juntas, and Mishima died in a failed coup to restore militarism. If you extend that to non-fiction intellectuals then Nassim Taleb is a huge Ron Paul fan and his "black swan" theory is very accurate in describing COVID-19. I know barely anyone here reads anything that's not sci fi/fantasy genre fiction, though, so I'm more or less on my own with them.
The Chinese film industry predates WW2 and certainly existed in the Maoist era. The degree of censorship varied depending on how the party was inclined at the time, from relatively less during the Hundred Flowers Campaign to very strict during the Cultural Revolution, but some films were always being produced. The propaganda piece "Breaking With Old Ideas" was released at the end of the Cultural Revolution just before Mao's death, for example. Totalitarians use media to spread their propaganda, they don't abolish it entirely.
TIL you can achieve black representation by writing a white hippy with dreadlocks. That makes it all simple.
I always found Andropov kind of interesting. Really, I think you can categorize the Soviet/Russian leaders in two ways. Either...
Andropov had no desire to go down in a thermonuclear blaze of glory. The cold war wouldn't have gone hot unless a maniac like MacArthur took charge in one of the superpowers or something like the B-59 submarine incident had gone bad. Also the USSR's budget wouldn't have stretched to a massive computer surveillance network. The country was almost bankrupt by 1991.
Does this finally mean I can apply for the Black Lesbian Tranny Scholarships without being shot for looking like a Cis White Male?
A scholarship isn't worth turning yourself into Brianna Wu.
What if I just say I haven’t transitioned yet?
