  • I think of the story of the “last emperor of China”

    You brought this story to my attention a little wile ago and it has made a big impact on my thinking. (It made me cry a little.) Obviously we don't have the time/resources/capability to reeducate every reactionary but it really changed my mind on the limits of redeemability. There is no "too far gone" there is just "not enough time" or "not an efficient use of resources."

  • I'm not defending the troops. I am saying that troops are humans and just as capable of changing into class conscious beings as any other human. If you think there are people who are immune to the effects of their material conditions you don't understand Marxism.

  • Tying to push the bounds of acceptable discourse? or trying to get fired in your last days of work?

  • And this is only day 12. Iran says they can go on for 6 months.

  • Thank Adnan Husian he turned me on to Indi.ca

  • Should have said you are a conscientious objector. That or claimed force majeure.

  • I can't imagine the 99% of Iranian diaspora even going back to rebuild. They are out there cheering and "protesting" but if they get what want it wont change their life at all. They will still have to go to their shitty job and pay their mortgage. All that will happen is that they wont have any hate to focus on to help them accept the shitty conditions of life under capitalism.

    I wish there was a way without destroying Iran for them to feel the crushing weight of the false hope they built their lives around turning into anticlimactic weight around their neck. Instead most of them will be more bitter and insufferable than before when this war is over.

  • Hezbollah should never have gone along with the "ceasefire." I'm glad they have a second chance to make things right.

  • They have reserves equal to 100 days of net imports. Only 50% of their oil comes through Hormuz at the worst. So they have 200 days... to find alternative sources for oil or to cut consumption of oil.

  • I have covered/disconnected all cameras in my house that are connected to internet or phones, My location is always off, i try to hide or avoid getting photos taken or getting recognized, and avoid signing stuff.Also, i deleted all of my social media and all posts i have made except for whatsapp and gmail since i cannot work without them

    This is good opsec.

    but the rest is not right. Is your reading time cutting into your sleeping time? Sleep deprivation will fuck you up. Social contact is also kinda important and your brain can get a bit funny if you deprive it of interaction with people. maybe do a bit less reading and spend more time with people.

  • Korean Reunification in 3... 2.....

  • Yeah an in a week they'll say the are delaying the pictures for 50 days. people are going to start demanding refunds

  • Russia, and China have the capacity to bring about mad, the rest of the Global south has no defense against a atomically reckless US.

    Yes they do. Russia and China are the defense. A first strike is the only defense for Russia and China against a belligerent usa that is willing to use nukes. It forces their hand no matter who the target is because of the usa's proven track record of antagonism against China and Russia.

    If someone screams over and over that they are going to kill you but they don't because you have a gun pointed at them and then you see them pull out a gun and shoot someone else are you going to wait for them to face you or shoot them right away?

    You are dooming for no reason. The results of a nuclear strike are horrible for everyone but they are markedly worse for israel and usa. You are worrying about people doing something that would hurt themselves more than it would hurt anyone else. Even a psychopath wouldn't do that. They do not believe the armageddon tripe that some jar heads are spouting. There is no up side to them and all they care about is the upside.

    It is a waste of energy worrying about something that is very unlikely to happen especially when there is nothing you can do to stop it.

  • Weren't they saying a couple days ago they would be delaying 3 days?

  • Sanctions cause over 550k deaths every year. That's as much as dropping the biggest nuke ever tested on a city.

  • It would kill millions of Iranians and irreversibly effect Iran on a ecological, societal, and economic level.

    How is this any different than if they use conventional weapons?

    The rest of the world doesn’t yet have the capacity to destroy the US,

    They do in a nuclear war. This is the whole concept of M.A.D.

    Like yes it would be horrible but only as horrible as what they already have done to Gaza.
