    I generally agree with what is being expressed, though I think that a proof can be verbose while still being correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_long_mathematical_proofs

    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_conjecture “It states that no arrangement of equally sized spheres filling space has a greater average density than that of the cubic close packing (face-centered cubic) and hexagonal close packing arrangements. The density of these arrangements is around 74.05%.”

    Perhaps the best approach is to feel free to write long essays, but to also create summaries / indexes for them that help while conversing quickly.

      Not so much that long answers can’t be correct as calling out the attempt to use verbosity as a replacement for accuracy.

      Wait until Cowbee gets so enthusiastic about debating you that they write two comments on each of yours, and then guilt trips you for not addressing each of the five paragraphs in each comment in the infinitely expanding tree of comments. It’s like fighting a Hydra, but the Hydra is an asshole

Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide or atrocity denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social

Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you’ve got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx’s Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven’t read it

Kropotkin’s Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

For a wider variety of leftist memes, see:
