People act like the problems facing humanity require complex difficult solutions but that’s not true at all. Solving our problems is easy, solving our problems without inconveniencing some rich asshole is hard. Solving our problems while making the already wealthy even richer is the standard we are being held to which is essentially imposible.

They’ve slightly changed the formula of twinkies something like 10 times. Each time the changes are small buy over 10 times, it builds up to something very different. I will say, deep fried twinkies are surprisingly good, still.

If I were the Ukrainians I would offer peace in exchange for Putin’s severed head in a box

Russia is like the mirror image of the US. A small European country that stretched across an entire continent by conquering indigenous peoples, taking their land, settling ethnic Russians, and replacing their languages. Their entire history and national identity is colonialism.

The Poles have been steadily building one the largest Regular Armies on Earth. After 3 partitions and a Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, they’re not trying to get conquered again.

Campists are bastards plus Marxist-Leninism is a dysfunctional ideology to begin. Modern Russia is almost everything that Communists claim to hate but online MLs will support everything they do.

See, should have swarmed Area 51 in a naruto run after all

That’s a bizarre theory, I can’t imagine two ideologies being more dramatically different than anarchy and monarchy

I wish the brown note was real

I wish I had an instrument that played the brown note

I wish I was immune to the brown note

This dude has said some extremely problematic things and expressed extremely problematic positions but credit where it’s due, standing up to Israeli Genocide is the only morally correct choice.

Not just tankie but in denial tankie

It’s called Campism. They take the side of anyone opposing the US even if those countries are objectively shit. It’d be one thing if they had a “the enemy of my enemy” attitude but they go full apologist instead. Russia has a Far Right nationalist government run by a dictator with a Far Right Ultra Nationalist powerbase but people will pretend they are the spitting image of Leftism in a way that even the USSR was not.

There’s alot of potential for the US to betray NATO by sharing intelligence and Troop positions/movements with Russia

“The Ukraine” is just a linguistic quirk of English because we say “The US” and “The UK” and “The UAE” and “The USSR”. If Ukraine started with any other letters than “Uk” it never would have been a thing. People injecting a bunch of meaning into it ala “that implies Ukraine is just a region not a country” are just wrong.

I mean, even Russian meddling aside the Left has always been rife with Campism and MLs in denial about the USSR. Putin’s powerbase is Far Right Ultra Nationalists and some communists still support Russia because “the communist party is still popular there”.

I like moving towards a stateless classless future but I’m not so naive as to deny that Russia is actively pursuing Nationalist conquest and directly opposed to a stateless classless future

The opposition to his leadership is coming from all over the place.

Jews keep their females naked???

It’s something of a mistake to think of the show as being about science and exploration. It features those things, yes, but ultimately it’s a show about Morals and Ethics.

Yes, but their grip on reality is slippery, their dedication to campism is frustrating, and their love of strict hierarchy isn’t compatible with Leftist beliefs.
