  • I edited it with a few more thoughts. But I'm afraid this development is hot off the presses and theoretical for me at time of writing.

    Also got recommend the Myth of Sisyphus by Camus which is... available wherever you find books

  • Currently in therapy working through how non-explicit sarcasm and genuine anger towards such a person doesn't produce a clear signal. It means I remain less than understood, at best I lash out against a symptom & not the system, and remain upset about the lack of global ledger. She's not doing this to piss me off; on the contrary she's in an atomized society that makes it so even if she were looking me in the eyes she wouldn't be able to see me. While it doesn't excuse the wrongdoer, it's a reminder of my locus of control. Short of a revolutionary tribunal or an opportunity to agitate onlookers there's objectively little use in engaging with such a person. It's a tragedy, not a moral failing to be unable to perceive me. We'll see if the mechanistic extraction of a chance to reason through my own internal world from people I perceive as having consented into an asymmetric, exploitative conversation remains meta.

    In closing I think America bad and destabilizing even in the face of bad things that happen downstream of it. I don't know the particular history of Iran, but it would be, at best in my mind, secondary to their current actions fighting back against the most destabilizing imperialist force that engages in genocide and kills millions in the region. That recent history and current events of genocide and bloodshed, as well as my proximity to these cultures as opposed to Iran is what makes America and Israel relevant in my mind, even if the topic is the wrongdoings of Iran.

  • So called enlightened, marerialist thinkers when someone's God guides them to victory.

  • Pissed riddlemaster is a beautiful aesthetic that doesn't endeavor to be cool. There's beauty in seeing a passionate craftsman

  • I was at a networking event recently and my just-be-normal mask slipped up. We, a group of strangers, were talking AI ethics and a person shows us a video of Chinese robots in a military training simulation on their phone. They declare "Chinese robots are going to come kill us all." I thought the little 100cm dorks looked so funny and say as much. So when the person repeats themselves a second time I go "call me Charlie Kirk the way I'm down to die from gun violence." To which I got a glare that I still remember.

    I go on to mock AI "You're not just dead — you're a martyr. And honestly? That makes you memorable."

  • But the gun still rattles the gun still rattles UwU~

  • I had a thought about checking tiktok to see if the American takeover scrubbed out all the good shit regarding Iran. It totally did from what I can see.

  • It's been enlightening (negative) to realize everyone's politics is

    Person holding merch/signage of thing

    Person is handsome or ugly

    Person is happy or sad

    I am handsome and if you disagree you become sad

    Like can we talk about the socio-economic state of the world?!

  • That is, of course, until the peasants get dangerous ideas. Then the ruling class will hastily end their own wars to crush them.

    Bit idea: do this but in reverse

  • They get a trillion dollars a year. What the fuck do you mean they're still just in time?! What do they do with the money?!

    They can't pass an audit

    If it were me I wouldn't have done that.

  • I feel like the Epstein files the way everything I want to say is [REDACTED]

  • George H Bush in his last moments frantically pushing a bell like Hector Salamanca when he sees that his empire project is in the hands of W Bush

  • FUCKING purity tests!! We can't let great (not campaigning on a desire to kill kids) be the enemy of good (the other half of the ratcheting effect that makes sure nothing fundamentally changes)

  • Imagine killing people half way across the world and dying because the Epstein coalition was bored.

  • The US-Israel attacks on Iran are unprovoked and criminal — and carried out while Iran was negotiating against US-Israel demands that both coloniser powers knew were impossible. This mirrors Israel’s murder of Qatari bystanders while trying to assassinate Hamas’s ceasefire negotiating team — likewise assisted by the UK.

    Right now, the only new question I have is "why the Epstein coalition leads with underhanded tactics?"

    Just like fighting dirty in self defense situations: if you're winning you don't need them and if you're losing you escalate the level of violence and upset the person on top of you. It's the difference between a bloody nose and mangled fingers. So if you're in a situation where the other person might have a (nuclear) weapon, they can't trust your word, and they feel threatened then that weapon has a lot higher chance of being used.

    In a duel, if you threaten and pressure, pressure, pressure then they might crumble because you're using good technique. If you start by plucking at their eyes and groin then you better pray they never get the upper hand even once.

  • Seems like you'd have a single Marxist on your team who would do material analysis and simply do the opposite of the good thing.

    "My liege, I was watching trueanon. I fear that if we demonstrate the necessity of a nuclear bomb and the difference in treatment between nukeless Iran and nukeful DPRK, they may desire a nuclear bomb."

  • I'm writing a character now who is an arch fey and a patron to the MC. I use xe/xir as pronouns. It's kinda fun. Xe got the MC in a horribly 1 sided pact and talks in nearly unreadable legalese.

    "[...] Unless you’re prepared to articulate a revision of an expanded remunerative profile then your harmonious departure is the most fruitful course of action.”

    “You can go fuck yourself.”

    “I am in parallel concordance.”

  • This comic was there right around the time I started dipping my toes into leftist philosophies.

  • Are they agreeing with me? Is this
