  • Cowbee, I disagree almost entirely with what you posted. But with respect for you clearly articulating your position I will share my response.

    To your “But Russia is not imperialist” , please reflect on the following and to what extent you must stretch a rationalization:

    First and Second Chechen Wars (1994, 2000) Puppet Leader in Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko (1996) Puppet leader in Ukraine Victor Yanukovych (2010) Georgian War (2008) Annexation of Crimea (2014) Role in Syria conflict (2000 onwards) Role in African dictatorships in Burma Faso and Niger (2010s- present)

    … global south / US bad too / old Soviet vassal states must kneel ect… I get it. But the above conflicts are evidence of state capitalism exerting itself militarily for geopolitical and economic aims

    I doubt this will influence you much as you are pretty invested in your world view. But from my vantage point and reading of theory (likely some overlap if you are ML) - you are wrong *respectfully

  • Cowbee. I appreciate some of your takes on Marxism, but disagree frequently with your frame of reference on state power in the global field.

    I view the war with Ukraine as one of Russo imperialism in response to Western imperialism. Indeed the USSR itself had many imperialist tendencies under a unified Asiatic / Slavic Soviet even as did Western and Asian counterparts post WW2

    The irony being I am more allied to Trotsky or Luxemburg’s take. Which no doubt wouldn’t receive fair purchase in ML group. Forgive me for not directly referencing War and International - as it meanders but hits many themes relevant to Russia/Ukraine conflict

    That being said to summarize my view: wars of conquest as a tool for furthering state capital / geopolitical interests shouldn’t be supported by Marxists, and posting the rationalization of an autocrat reads as support to me.

    Your information is dated. We are net exporters of crude oil for the past 15-years with majority of import from Canada and Mexico

    But for what it’s worth - fully believe renewables are the way forward for geopolitical and ecological stability. This is the more important narrative

  • Interesting. So it is a closed space. Can’t say I agree with that approach - but not my place to decide either.

    Thanks for clarifying.

  • I don’t know what was said above, why was it removed? Was it extreme or are we now censoring divergent comments on DB0?

    I feel like that is a bit antithetical to the politics of this page and my own.

    Just checking. I’ve noticed the walls of the fediverse closing a bit and I don’t like it

  • You're a Russian puppet or a Chinese Communist spy if you question the state-sanctioned narrative

  • Wait wait, I’m getting it. The US Secretary of Defense Pete “the Alcoholic” has crusader neo-fascist Nazi tattoos, and the US is rounding up minorities in concentration camps. Maybe Russia should invade us next. It would be doing us a favor. You know for Freedom. We have a lot of Nazis here too.

  • Yeah yeah… Putin had no other option but to invade the country and protect ethnic Russians from Nazis to protect them from, checks notes, a democratically elected Jewish President. Just like World War 2.

    The historical dialectic is strong in this one

  • Audio 📢

    Jump

  • Center speaker is matched to stereo front, rear are intentionally under powered… as someone who appreciates good sound - the mixing on most every movie is fucked (and some TV - HBO looking at you). It’s not a set-up issue.

    Interviews with sound mixing techs indicate this is because everything is optimized to theatres and then only slightly remixed.

    For the basic consumer we would much rather have audible dialogue than ear shattering gun shots…
