Oh, I was convinced it was specifically bladed, as opposed to armi contundenti.

You always learn something new.

Yes, it’s the literal translation of our term for bladed melee weapons.

Bold of you to assume that Italian highschools have a shop class, the 3D printer is probably part of the computer lab.

Source: am Italian.

Well, now you are talking much more with a sense.

No, now you no longer assume I am your enemy. The fact that you assumed disagreement with you meant supporting everything you disagree with is indicative of a few things, but then again so was your post.

Still, I believe that mocking right-wingers is one of the most efficient way to counter the right wing propaganda

You’re free to believe that, even if it were true you’re doing a terrible job of this.

“Why are MAGA never geniuses” is not mockery of the right; it’s just sad, ignorant, stupid elitism, and anyone who isn’t even stupider will immediately see it for what it is.

Moreover, to have any effect on the right you should probably not do it on hands down the most left leaning alternative social media, hence why this comes across as masturbatory self-aggrandizing.

The right-wing cheap tricks and vulgar propaganda work, the left-wingers over-intellectualism is lost in a mass of Internet garbage.

See above, also different types of propaganda work on different audiences.

This would not work on the average right-winger because it shows blatant hypocrisy to your own values, offers nothing they value, and confirms their existing opinion of leftists.

Leftists (socialists, communists, etc) are not supposed to believe in natural hierarchies; saying “this inherently superior person (child prodigy) agrees with an ideology that rejects the notion of inherent superiority (socialism)” is fucking moronic, and shows you are essentially just unthinkingly partisan to the point of revealing you don’t actually believe your own principles.

If you did, the fact that someone was considered a child prodigy would not matter to you.

All a right-winger would see when coming across this post is a smarmy, arrogant, not-as-smart-as-they-think, hypocritical left-winger showing their true colors and, despite not being right-wing myself, I would agree.

To add some constructive criticism: Right-wingers already see you/us as the outgroup.

You won’t reach them by mocking them, you might reach them by creating a different outgroup they also despise and leveraging that.

If even Margery Taylor Greene, the most unhinged political figure to come out of the MAGA movement broke rank over the Epstein files redaction and the revelation that Trump is not “on her side,” that seems to be the only effective way to split their political power.

Mock their idols, mock their ideas carefully, don’t mock them.

Nobody would come to the side of people who openly despise them, but they might join you in despising someone else. If you mock a right-winger directly it better be in such a way that 5 others see it and join in.

Bold of you to assume I’m a MAGA supporter and not just someone who finds your argument and attitude distasteful, especially since it makes my own position worse by association with you.

I.e.: you’re acting like a jagoff and making us look worse by conforming to the right’s stereotype of their opposition, and you’re making a terrible point because some random “child prodigy” having an opinion that agrees with you is a shit argument.

Get over yourself.

Oh a typo isn’t; self defeating arrogance and lack of self awareness are very funny though.

Not to mention “child genius thinks thing” is also a fucking horrendous argument.

Child prodigies are the epitome of “book smart street stupid”, as expected of someone good at absorbing information but lacking practical experience, so obviously they’ll gravitate to shit that sounds good on paper but consistently fails in practice.

I was a huge Bakunin fan, then i studied, then I started a co-op, and I’m not anywhere close to an anarchist or a marxist anymore.

Oh no for sure, intelligent people make typos all the time too, they can also laugh at themselves, are typically humble, and don’t feel the need to post masturbatory “aren’t I great, aren’t my enemies doodooheads” shit like this, though.

So yeah, funny shit, that.

genises

LMAO misspelling genius while dunking on someone else’s intelligence is just perfect.

Her word wasn’t even considered during the whole trial.

Nor should it have been.

There’s a reason some crimes are statutory, this is not at all even comparable to asking the child regarding factual information of the case.

You’re only “not an artist” if you’re not making art. If you make something and don’t want it to be art, then it’s not art, and you’re not an artist.

That’s about it as not artist goes.

Additionally, even using exclusively solar power as soon as possible doesn’t really stop pollution from spreading, it just reduces the rate of growth, which is good but it’s also a pretty clear statement that industry in itself is something that needs to be taken as a tradeoff, not an inherent good.

A bunch of Skadis custom hooks and holders. Most involved ones were a paper towel roll holder and a magnetic file rack for some Stanley metal files.

I’m sorry that’s just rad as hell, masculinity has nothing to do with it, that’s just great taste.

I have a mole on the top of my head, multi blade razors glide over it, my safety razor is how i found out I had it: sharp pain and suddenly being covered in so much blood I could smell it.

So yeah knoblliness should not be overlooked.

As the son of a geologist: yes.

Also roughly estimating water hardness, and even mineral composition when he was younger and didn’t smoke his taste buds into oblivion.

Kind of a stupid decision to call something pre-currency and pre-codified laws “anarcho communist”.

It’d be like calling something born before animal life “vegan” because it doesn’t eat animals.

Technically correct, maybe, but very much missing the point of the label.

Dictation software has come a long way huh

In reality you should be able to get an anonymized reference number to show your vote was tabulated correctly though.

The reason there is no such thing in elections, is to prevent vote buying/extortion.

In Italy it’s such an extreme problem that any ballot where the party is not marked with a cross on the party logo and (if present) a block capital name next to it on the provided line, is automatically discounted, because stuff like writing a name a specific way or using crosses, checks, dots, or other symbols was used to track vote buying/voter intimidation in mafia controlled territories.

Some vote counters and polling station overseers would be on the take and keep track of if the votes they expected to see showed up when counting ballots and report back.

If you were able in any way to prove something beyond the equivalent of an “I voted” sticker it would immediately be used to ensure people voted a certain way or to exact some sort of backlash on those who didn’t.
