My toddler is available to do the rest of their currencies if they want to finish the redesign.

Actual Marxism (class marxism) was definitively debunked by every example of communism in existence by authors such as Solzhenitsyn. Despite that, it had so enthralled academics, that they tried to apply the concepts of Marxism to other areas that hadn't yet been debunked.
They created neomarxism which changes the model from a struggle between economic classes of people to a struggle between the majority and marginalized groups of people, and the ruling class uses hegemony of culture to further marginalize groups. From there, the idea that you start to analyze media through marginalized lenses comes in, and soon you're using those lenses on things like law as well.
From there, people with too much time on their hands, far too much education, but no practical skills came up with ideas like intersectionality which creates an amazing game of ideological whack-a-mole, where if neomarxism is debunked for blacks, what about gay blacks? If not them, what about trans gay blacks? If not them, what about trans gay black amputees? And so on and so forth until society collapses because too many people are worrying about trans gay black amputee midgets and not enough about how to feed, clothe, and house the population.
Now, some people might ask what the purpose of neomarxism is -- why did academia create it? The purpose of academic work is to find ways to pay for more academic work. The most popular phrase in academic works is "more research is required" for a reason. Therefore, the primary purpose of neomarxism is finding more ways to pay for more academic works about neomarxism.
Advocates of neomarxist or intersectional approaches might counter that addressing cultural and systemic inequities is integral to solving those material problems, but they're wrong and stupid and should get back into their box and write more neomarxist papers so we can get funding to write more neomarxist papers. Now you might assume my attack would be based on the idea that it's purely theoretical and thus has no value, but that's untrue -- there are many purely theoretical pursuits that are important regardless, and it isn't purely theoretical because gay race communism has taken hold in the culture as something we have to deal with for a little while longer. My attack is based on the idea that you've got a fundamentally materialist ideology that considers the effects on the material well-being of a group, that destroys the civilization it's a part of, thus ensuring that nobody's material well-being is any good. At least if something isn't purely materialist you could make an argument that it's good for the soul!
The final nail in neomarxism's coffin is the fact that in spite of being materialist and having nothing to do with improving one's soul, people who believe in it end up taking it up as a religion as if it can improve one's soul. Such people can start off as beautiful pure souls of light and slowly fall apart into tar black sludge, filled with hatred and envy and loathing, because they're always looking at most of the population as oppressors

"Now look here, are you really really sorry?"
"yeah...."
"Ok, then I'll let you off the hook this time. I'll see you on Epstein's island, buddy."

We've seen this hissy fit before. When Elon first bought X a bunch came to "mastodon" and lasted a week of nobody gives a fuck about Kathy Gifford without algorithmic boosting for doubleplus goodthink until they go crawling back to their crackhouse.
Even under Musk the crack is still right there for the smoking.

Protip: once the communist regime has taken over, they tend to outlaw being gay, and they become incredibly racist.
No, I don't care we're still not doing it.

But for real, family is more important than the state, and those bonds are what remain even when nations fall, so try to find some grace and look for common ground with family however you can if your only real differences are politics. Hey, you all like turkey (except for crazy uncle frank), don't you?
I'm on my second amazfit bip (45 day battery life!), and since I found it gadgetbridge has always been the app I use.
Besides working at least as good as the apps that come with the watch, being FOSS I don't need to worry about what information it's sending to a shenzen server farm.

A sword is a romantic weapon, but for essentially all of human history other weapons were the bread and butter of war. Bows and arrows were significant but unromantic, spears were often the main arm for soldiers, and despite the romantic image of a knight with a gleaming sword, knights would be hard-pressed to fight one another with a sword since their armor would render them virtually impervious to such weapons, you'd need something like a Warhammer or morning star to impact through the armor plate. Even samurai, their katanas iconic around the world, typically used different weapons in war.
Consider the quintessential sword story, the three musketeers: they had a lot of swordfighting in the stories, but what weapon would you expect a musketeer to use? (Hint: a musket!)

Michigan democrats were going to vote for a bill that gives all their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, but shelved the bill, presumably because the Republicans just won the popular vote and they assumed that was impossible.
Like magic, suddenly Michigan democrats can accurately describe the purpose of the electoral college! Amazing!
