... You do realize we hear most internet communists we come across argue that we'd be so much better if we were run like Russian or China?

Hey Hexbear, if you're dropping by, let me know when Russian and Chinese workers seize the means of production.
In the meantime I'm sitting here oppressed in Norway.
Look okay so I have the basic theory behind the film alright?
Eventually the crew of the Enterprise realizes that every planet with intelligent life they've ever visited has some kind of bean.
Every star system.
Every galaxy.
Background:
Long before the dawn of humanity (and every other civilization in the known universe), billions of seeding ships full of a variety of gene-modified ruggedized advanced beans were sent out through the cosmos.
Who sent the beans? The last civilization of a distant supercluster, who had known several millennia of intergalactic stability and connection (over thousands of galaxies, countless people). But in the last few centuries they had suffered a horrible war with something invading from the deep black. A majority of the galaxies were wiped out within the first few decades, but a distant arm of the supercluster fortified hard and held out. They desperately hoped to overcome it, but they had only succeeding in slowing it.
Witnessing so much annihilation, many knew this was the end of life here. There were attempts to salvage life, many generation ships were sent out but they always prematurely lost connection.
...
But they sent beans.
GOOD beans.
They established life in corners of the universe where life would have otherwise been impossible! They grew in the most fucked up conditions, there were beanstalks in methane oceans and spreading around supervolcanoes.
There were beans on Earth, before there were single-celled organisms. They established the foundation for life.
We're not here by divine decree.
We're here, because the aliens sent beans.
(Potential addition/twist: Fungus. Rarely found beyond Earth, almost always seen as a poisonous pest, humans being uniquely similar to fungi becomes an important plot point. Recently there has been a horrble fungal pest on Earth ruining beans in particular, but also attacking many other plants at an increasing and alarming rate. Human and animal fungal infections have gotten far more aggressive. Eventually; Mushroom zombies.)
(Spolier alert: The enemy from the deep black was fungal in nature. It feeds on worlds and builds mycelium networks through fibrils stretching through cold space off anything it can. Solid planets, asteroids, gas giants. Touching them, growing on them, eventually slowing them through a weak but persistent and increasing resistance. Growing like mold, but ever larger, always reaching for the network it moves through. (Only thing it can't touch are stars, but it can feed from them.) After consuming everything it can reach, it sends out spores and slowly dies as it has sapped all energy from its hosts.)
Thank you, that was fun 😵💫🥸
Yes, and not subtly either
The moment I read this comment, Julian on Trailer Park Boys started talking about beans on my second screen. (Yes, really, S8E2@15:30)
It must be a sign
Someone should make a movie about this, Matrix/Inception vibes.
It was a rhetorical question, of course they don't.
Hexbear's preference for China and Russia have nothing to do with communism and everything to do with their alignment with and love for their dictators.
Like mainland 9gag with a veil of solidarity.
For the majority who don't know, 9gag is a Hong Kong based meme recycling organization run by people who are equally intolerant of lactose and melanin.
Whatever your opinion on it is, the fact is that young guys are lost to right wing patriarchs. And the left doesn't really want to outcompete the right for their attention, because the left knows they can't outcompete the right on this without abandoning some highly treasured principles.
I got a few of the older FC games when they were like 5 bucks each, launched FC5 yesterday and the first part felt sort of like a return to form.
Yeah best for everyone would be if we invaded Finland and put people in jail for bringing up history.
