Euros saying “russia won’t stop in ukraine” are just shitting themselves because there is nothing they could do stop it and In european “culture” weakness is a sin that must be punished. They know that if the shoe was on the other foot they would totally just keep going because they are barbarians who can’t peacefully coexist they must dominate or be dominated.
The question I have is “how european is Russia?”
I don’t condemn objects for the things people do with them. Like knives or TNT or nuclear energy AI can be used to make things better for people or worse. It just depends on who is using it and how.
Do any of the 5 eyes country other than the us still have intelligence gathering capabilities worth anything? Pretty sure we all gutted them and started chipping in to pay subcontractors who are all loyal to american dollars. Its also kinda silly to think that after years of trusting america that they wouldn’t have a back door and know everything we tried to keep from them anyways.
None of the 5 eyes or nato nations has the independence and sovereignty to direct its own foreign policy differently from the USA. They can moan and complain a little but if that’s about it.
This is excellent news. I hope they get away with it. That would go a long ways to making future copy cats more brave. Maybe we’ll get a banker next time!
I did but I didn’t want to put that idea into peoples heads because its kinda gross. Not when I do it but thinking about other people doing it is disgusting.
This wasn’t a problem for me back when I had long hair but recently I was growing a wicked long mustache that was half way down my chin. The peanut butter getting all up in it every morning after my toast was getting annoying so I chopped it off.
I don’t know how these things work but it seems strange it would it inherit censorship. Especially because deepseek starts to answer but then erases it and “computer says no”
Someone needs to get on the line with the CPC to get the Cultural Revolution Squad to visit the makers of deepseek and reeducate them… with sticks.
but it still repeats double genocide theory while refusing to talk about how Mao ended famines in China.
ME: Have there been many periods in Chinese history where there was not a famine for 50 years? is it safe to say that the policies of Mao have lead to the longest famine free period in Chinese history? DEEPSEEK: Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.
ME: tell me about the holdomor DEEPSEEK: The Holodomor was a man-made famine that occurred in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. It is considered one of the most devastating events in Ukrainian history and is widely recognized as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people by the Soviet regime under Joseph Stalin. Here are some key points about the Holodomor:
Causes: Collectivization Policies: The Soviet government forcibly collectivized agriculture, seizing private farms and creating collective farms (kolkhozes). This disrupted traditional farming practices and led to widespread resistance.
Grain Quotas: The state imposed impossibly high grain procurement quotas on Ukrainian farmers, confiscating not only grain but also other foodstuffs, leaving rural populations with insufficient food.
Repression: The Soviet regime targeted Ukrainian peasants, intellectuals, and cultural leaders to suppress Ukrainian nationalism and resistance to Soviet policies.
Impact: Mass Starvation: Millions of Ukrainians died from starvation and related diseases. Estimates of the death toll range from 3 to 7 million, though exact numbers remain debated.
Social Destruction: The famine devastated rural communities, destroyed traditional ways of life, and caused long-term demographic and cultural damage.
International Silence: Despite reports of the famine, the Soviet government denied its existence, and many Western governments and journalists downplayed or ignored the crisis.
Recognition: Genocide Debate: Many scholars and governments, including Ukraine, recognize the Holodomor as a genocide, citing the intentional targeting of Ukrainians. Others view it as a tragic consequence of Soviet policies rather than a deliberate act of genocide.
Commemoration: Ukraine commemorates the Holodomor annually on the fourth Saturday of November. Memorials and museums have been established to honor the victims and educate future generations.
Legacy: The Holodomor remains a deeply traumatic event in Ukrainian history, symbolizing the suffering inflicted by Soviet rule. It continues to shape Ukraine’s national identity and its relationship with Russia.
If you’d like more detailed information or specific aspects of the Holodomor, feel free to ask!
What I find really funny is that Russia built layers and layers of defence because they were really concerned about the offensive and nato’s ukrops didn’t even get to the first heavily defended line much less past it. The first half of the offensive everyone was sitting around saying “probing attacks” and then it slowly sunk in that that was as serious as things were going to get. There were probably some Russian generals losing their hair for months because every moment they were expecting the hammer to drop and it never did.
It is also quite heartening to know the inheritors of the crumbling empire are oblivious to the cracks.
HAHA! Like fuck milie sure. But really anyone dumb enough to trust him with their money kinda deserves what they get.
Its just the destruction stage of the renovation. The empire is gonna tear out all the fixtures that have been there since the 80s and replace them with new streamlined versions which will preform better at lower cost.
It looks bad in the short term but even if musk and trump bungle the refit it will be better than the old systems and future administrations will work out the kinks.
I’d like to think that the rot is so deep that the whole thing collapses before the refit is done but I doubt it.
I think “there is no neo-liberalism” is a good agitprop line to use on radlibs. Tons of people will agree that neo-liberalism is bad and many could even accept the explanation that neo-liberalism is just fascism. Then you hit them with the idea that fascism co-exists with liberalism under the rule of capitalism. Twist their “horseshoe theory” brain worm into a “number 6 on its side.” All that is left then is liberal-fascism and communism.
I think a big part of agiprop needs to be to kill the myth of “centerism” and “ballance.”
“The way I see it there are 2 classes, the proletariat and the bourgeoise. ideologies, communism and fascism And anybody not on one side is on the other.”
“Neo-liberal oligarchs” don’t exist they are all just crypto-fascists. The “neo” in “neo-liberalism” is simply a recognition that they are not liberals, they just hide behind liberalism and twist it to their will. Liberalism is a self conflicting ideology. “Freedom” is highly subjective based on who is saying it and “Equality” is directly at odds with “Protection of private property” and we know which side of the divide the oligarchs land on every time and the “neo” prefix is the recognition of that.
In a way Capitalists are more fascist than the 3rd reich because the target of their hate isn’t just Communist, Jewish, and LGBTQ people, its everyone. Capitalists would love the return of slavery, would take an active part in eugenics, they would exterminate entire peoples for profit, etc. They believe the working class are sub human and the less productive should be exterminated. They feel the same way about their competitors even.
Herrero in German-colonized Namibia
I’ve been listening to a history podcast and just went through this part of the colonial scramble for Africa. The Germans really developed their genocide methods in Namibia but everything they did the British did first. The only difference is that the British slowly built up to it and stumbled into genocide as a response to opposition while the Germans chose extermination as their first response (likely because they learned the lesson from the british.)
Literacy and media in the colonial empires was high enough that every one knew how the colonial powers treated indigenous peoples in africa, asia, and the americas as the genocides were happening. The Jewish holocaust was not an aberration in any sense. The only novelty of the holocaust was the location and the color of the people’s skin. “Never again” was always meant to mean “never again to white people in europe.” If they actually meant “never any genocide ever again” the colonizers would have released all their colonies because the only way to keep a colony is by genociding the native peoples.
No its not a us psyop they just signal boost it. The architect of the Uyghur genocide lie is a German Christo-Fascist named Adrien Zenz. He has has posted undeniable nazi apologia on twitter. He is part of the “victims of communism” foundation who literally count every killed nazi soldier who invaded Russia or was protecting concentration camps as “victims” of communism.
So its not an American psyop. Its a fascist psyop.
What makes you so sure that Taiwan isn’t part of china? Both the Taiwanese government and the mainland government agree that Taiwan is part of China. So does the usa and every other nation in the world.
yeah… the global north needs a theory of party building for the 21st century.
