I think calling cops "pigs" and CEOs "swines" is bad, because pigs are deserving of respect.
Pigs are delightful. Let's call cops bedbugs.
Aye, I think I'm fine with disrespecting bedbugs.
That particular species is the one I would eliminate from existence if I had a wish or something. Possums can eat other bugs.
I vote ticks.
You’re gonna be hard pressed to find anything as totally loathsome in the animal kingdom to get a fair analogy.
Dolphins are pretty much the only other animal to display straight-up malice.
But “bourgeois swine” is such a sweet phrase, it drips like honey off the tongue
It calls Animal Farm to mind.
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
Is pheasant actually tasty?
Similar to other landfowl (turkey, grouse, etc.), the meat is more nuanced & flavorful than the poultry many are accustomed to, and can often be compared to that of a lean duck or even goose.
Also, if you're cooking any meat "well done", you're destroying it. If you "prefer" it that way, you're a gawdamned idiot. 🤌🏽
You mean unlike other land fowl? Duck and goose is delicious. Turkey not so much.
I ended up stumbling into an amazing way to cook turkey this year after we decided we didn't want to get up early enough to cook it the way we normally would. Instead, we decided it would be better to carve up the raw bird into smaller pieces and cook it over a wood fire. Did the carving the day before, seasoned it with salt, pepper, and a bit of sugar.
It sounds like the term you're looking for is "spatchcock", and one of my heavy lifters. My man Alton's the Bill Nye of badass cookin' w/ SCIENCE!, NGL.
Aside, one of the most cost effective ways to dish up fancy AF, for as little cost or effort as possible: spatchcock game hens, marinate 12-24hrs, pan sear/grill with fresh herbs (seasonal pairings that are widely available locally [store or wild/farm], for example, fall: pepitas, sumac, marjoram; winter: celeriac, rosemary, root veg, alliums; spring: spruce tips, sage [overdone, IMHO😅), mint; summer: culantro, dill, tarragon, etc.)
Don't blame the ingredients for the chef's shite skills. I have converted diehard-but-curious vegetarians with turkey alone. I'm sorry your experience has been wholly negative, and I genuinely wish you better luck in the future. 🧑🏼🍳
turkey is amazing if cooked right, i prefer it to chicken. most people cook it too hot/long and don't baste, so it's dry af
It is! At least, when cooked well.
Technically, that's how you fuck it up.
Fine, cooked properly.
But brandy and grouse are still ok thought, right?
You can sip on your brandy. You can feast on your grouse.
We'll rally with pitchforks at the gates of your house.
... So, make extra
Please stop with the intra-class hate, it’s just a bad look and makes someone using such labels look like an envious have-not.
You risk alienating white collar or high-income working class with these slogans, who have a lot of political power.
The problem is compounded by the fact that most people have a misconception about their class status, and don’t realize that we’re all working class.
Your doctors, lawyers, engineers, and even some politicians are working class, but don’t want to admit it, or don’t understand how class works.
Edit inter vs intra is a sob
You risk alienating white collar or high-income working class with these slogans
No, you don't. Everyone who has/had to work for a living (without the backstop of a trust fund) is quite aware. Anyone you would be alienating was already gone.
You're really underestimating the propaganda at play
And where does their power and wealth come from? The working class It seems that they have forgotten this fact.
Respectfully, shut the fuck up. We are done licking boots. I will wholeheartedly advocate for more corporate assassinations. They are fucking killing us, taking out a couple of them is a drop in the bucket
someone using such labels look like an envious have-not.
Uh, so true, shame on those peasants for the sin of envy, they should just be satisfied with what they have and let their betters enjoy the fruits of their exploitation.

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!
0. Only post socialist memes
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)
0.5 [Provisional Rule] Use alt text or image descriptions to allow greater accessibility
We require alternative text (from now referred to as "alt text") to be added to all posts/comments containing media, such as images, animated GIFs, videos, audio files, and custom emojis.
EDIT: For files you share in the comments, a simple summary should be enough if they’re too complex.
We are committed to social equity and to reducing barriers of entry, including (digital) communication and culture. It takes each of us only a few moments to make a whole world of content (more) accessible to a bunch of folks.
When alt text is absent, a reminder will be issued. If you don't add the missing alt text within 48 hours, the post will be removed. No hard feelings.
1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such
That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
4. No Bigotry.
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)
6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
