Communism is when the shared public mechanisms under socialism run so well a government is no longer necessary at all. If it has a dictator or a government it is, by definition, not communism.

I don't usually use this expression, but you might need to touch grass. I pretty regularly hang out with far left people and other than debates over personal philosophy we're all pretty chill. The internet is not an accurate representation of any actual social dynamics.
I'd love to hear your answer to his question, you forgot to answer it.
I'm part of the rest of society and I agree with their methods. I haven't been propagandized into thinking protests shouldn't be disruptive (ignorable). They've got you thinking minor inconvenience = utter contempt (which for some reason you chose to write two comments in a row), and that for some reason deserves prison time.
Think about it, really, imagine this was coming from someone you respect enough to make you consider changing your mind; should protests that cause no bodily harm be a criminal offence? Should the people not have a way to truly disrupt the system if our existence is at stake? Is the convenience of the ignorant more important than our survival? I'd love to hear your honest answers to these questions.
I really don't mind if the mildly inconvenienced thousands of people. If in a functioning democracy our powers are threefold - the vote, the media and protest, and peaceful protest by its very nature is a protest that can be ignored, then no change can be affected by non disruptive protest. In my opinion this isn't disruptive enough. If we treated this climate crisis with the urgency it deserves then we would take a page out of the European book and block highways with concrete bollards.
Make no mistake, our children will burn and we're worried about missing a flight.
I think it's safe to say that if they gave up their freedom for the cause of trying to save us and our descendants from climate catastrophe then they are absolutely morally superior to both of us. The mistake you make is thinking that the law has a single thing to do with moral superiority, it only deals in financial superiority.
What an absolutely tone deaf and patronizing statement. The world is ending but god forbid we inconvenience anyone while trying to do something about it.
You think that thing, held together by duct tape and bobby pins, is living to 2028?
It's Greek, not Latin. It should be octopodes.
It is octopodes. It's Greek and it follows the Greek pluralisation convention.
Some people failed vocabulary I guess haha
Spot on, dude is weird as fuck. I wouldn't leave him alone with a woman who wasn't absolutely gushing with consent
