They want us to work so hard our memory is like a Rocky montage. The only thing we can recall is a single song and snippets of the way we ground ourselves in to dust for months at a time and after all that we still lose at the end.
When Bob Vylan and his crowd chant "death death to the idf" they are chanting about the end of the institution when I say it I mean every individual soldier.
The writer of the letter is full of a noble and working-class hatred for the bourgeois “class politicians” (a hatred understood and shared, however, not only by proletarians but by all working people, by all Kleinen Leuten to use the German expression). In a representative of the oppressed and exploited masses, this hatred is truly the “beginning of all wisdom”, the basis of any socialist and communist movement and of its success.
My kind of guy.
History as a whole, and the history of revolutions in particular, is always richer in content, more varied, more multiform, more lively and ingenious than is imagined by even the best parties, the most class-conscious vanguards of the most advanced classes.
They don't have and missiles... that we know about. For all we know the technological assistance China and Russia have given to Iran and Yemen has been shared with Venezuela as well. Computer testing is at the point where you don't need to show off if you don't want to.
The overkill is what lets this scammer be guilt free on every penny they get. But now that I think about it the whole "if you are stupid enough" thing is a flawed moralization based in ableism.
He should have gone the other direction, said he was azov and talk about how they need money to slay orcs. Then they'd know every penny is stealing from nazis.
Bodyguards wearing nazi insignia? not a problem. Kidnapping men and sending them into a meat grinder with no training? that's fine. Never ordering a retreat to save soldiers when there is no hope of holding the position? "We don't care."
Stealing millions of dollars that was supposed to used helping the country? We expect that... but when you have out lived your usefulness? Well, this is what we will use that to nail you to the wall.
I love how there is all these AI companies telling everyone "we are over valued and you are all gonna lose everything" and "its a bubble" andf nobody is trying to fix it. Capitalism is the most efficient system.
incandescent Lightbulbs are fucking stupid. Like hey, lets put a wire in a glass jar with no oxygen so it can't burn itself out and pump as much juice though it as it can handle. 100 years after the LED was invented (by a soviet scientist) and some people are still using the ignorant wasteful technological accident that incandescent bulbs are.
Yeah that is pretty adult thing. I was thinking about buying a little 1ton excavator from China (they are way cheaper than you'd think) but it seemed a bit too much of an adult thing to do.
I 100% understand what you are talking about. I used to have this. My inner dialogue was split into different "voices" the cave man, the poet, the joker, the asshole, the wizard/scholar, the stoner, and a few other minor characters (mine were all male). I had this idea of round room where they were meeting in my head. It had a big table and chairs in the center but also with a bar and a couch and a shag rug off to one side and it was like equal parts a boardroom and a chill get together/party. Sometimes there would be a majority opinion on a course of action other times one voice would take the lead or even outright dominate.
I'm not sure if it was just my brain telling a story/understanding my inner motivations after the fact or if it was the actual thought processes driving me. sometimes I would chuckle at what they were getting up to while in the midst of things going on.
It faded away at some point but I don't know when exactly or why. I kinda think it was a symptom of my loneliness. I had no community so I made one inside myself.
If they do China will cut those companies off. So unless the companies are getting paid enough to destroy their rare earth supply line permanently they won't do it.
If america had a planned ecconomy they could tottaly do this but because usa's capitalists all only care abbout themselves they will never destroy their companies unless it is more profitable than keeping their company running.
To be fair, If any western government ever followed through with a plan to even a fraction of the success as this they would go on about it for a decade.
If it were full of gin would that be hard power?
