bro, they're saying that people constantly lump in any attempts to feed the poor and not be "every man for himself" with actual uppercase-C Communism when they have nothing in common. No one is advocating for the Soviets here.

Anyway, I know plenty of people who, if I told them that I wanted to hand out food to the homeless for free, would go "that sounds like Communism, you're straight-up asking for Soviet Russia" when I'm actually just trying to feed people because I want to. Some of those people are Christians. That's what this post is criticizing.

...

[Sidenote: it's very important to separate the idea of "USSR Authoritarian Feudalism" from "communism" and "socialism". The USSR was about as "communist" as the People's Republic of China is a "republic". That is, they weren't, but they used the name anyway to make their citizens think they got what they wanted. (Not that I'm saying real Marxist communism even works at scale, cause I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed.)

As a bystander who knows the vocab, it's like if you said "I like the free market" and they went "OH SO YOU WANT MONOPOLIES AND COMPANY TOWNS AND HOMELESSNESS" like no those are two different things, one's an economic theory and the other is what happens when it's done in name only for greed and personal power. It's the exact same thing with communism, except that we weren't the ones with a fifty-year-long crusade against the word "capitalism".

It's important to make that distinction because people on here like to advocate for lowercase-c "communism" (AKA the actual economic system) but they are ABSOLUTELY NOT advocating for the uppercase-C "Communism" that oppressed Eastern Europe for decades, and you'll look really dumb if you always freak out at the word they use without trying to understand what they're actually saying.]

Deep in the Meadow 🥀

The songbird and her two little fledglings, its just gonna be the two of them for quite some time ✨🐦‍⬛

Lucy Gray is making each day at the edge of dawn strolls with both her gremlins through the meadow while singing soft lullabies. While Janus is off in minutes it takes longer for Clementine to fall asleep simply because she doesn’t wanna. She wants to stay up and chase the glowing bugs! and eat them

Turning Doc Hudson into a horse for my AU try 1

After i get a concept i doodle them all out, gives me more space. Doc is, like Lightning, a thoroughbred - A horse breed that is frequently used in racing due to its speed. Its super hard to write 'FABULOUS HUDSON HORNET" on his saddle pad but i tried 😭

Working everything out
