Yeah I mean being very isolated and very defensive towards colonisers is about the only strategy that seems to work.

Bit cheeky to ask but does anyone have any info on how unreliable forensics is? Like an article or something? Its something on my radar I have not really had a chance to properly look at.

As any Cuba related thing comes up, we must remember that in Cuba, a secretive, oppressive government has rounded up countless people, imprisoned them without trial, subjected them to horrific torture for decades at a time and that same govt laughs in the face of the international community’s pleas to stop or even just let impartial inspectors in to ensure even a bare modicom of humanity for those poor souls left to rot.

I’m talking about Guantanimo bay of course.

Everyone has periods when they feel alienated and utterly alone, scorned by the world etc. Etc.

When I was a teenager the answer seemed to be to goth up, smoke very bad hash in the graveyard and drink snakebites.

Actually thinking about it, a lot of the goths at my school were girls so I dunno where the fuck the idea its only men who can feel like this comes from.

Yeah yeah very funny, have a thought for us poor brits will you? I’m heartbroken over the devestating news.

Just learnt we don’t get a fucking bank holiday out of it.

Ah fair point yeah.

Hey now, that’s not fair. The US has produced some genuinely great music.

Gotham. Every single problem and every single villain is the direct result of capitalism. As a bonus the unintended meaning of the show is that capitalism’s only response to this is brutal violence enacted either through the police or whatever that simply makes things even worse.

Ah cool. They can let em back in when the US coughs up the 44bn dollars it owes for conducting an illegal war, arming terrorists and mining civilian harbors in Nicaragua.

I mean the very thin sliver of a silver lining is that this carbon capture technology works to a degree. In anything approaching a society that actually functioned, we’d see the same levels of funding, research and energy spent on this sort of thing that we spend nowdays on stuff like weapons development or extracting even more oil.

I’m sure there are a few men pretending on there but I have come across women before who genuinely hold these kinds of views. They’re super rare for sure but let’s face it so are incels and there’s enough of them to form various communities.

One thing I’ve noticed in both is they seem to have developed this really weird and toxic ideology that really does seem to have a lot of its roots in the increasing commodification of everything including relationships. I’m not saying it’s the biggest cause or even a cause at all but a lot of the weirder shit seems to almost be an attempt to use something like I dunno a marketing algorythm or something.

Iol playing Stellaris at the moment and through sheer fleet power, espionage and diplomatic arm twisting I’ve forced the members of the galactic community to institute shared burdens or utopian abundance, outlaw slavery and tie their political power to the working class or suffer extreme punitive sanctions. The games are fun but the fanbase is not.

It’s gonna be the whole Nazi Volkswagen idea but even sadder and smelling of crusted semen.

Nah, they’d break his legs and keep him chained up as a living blood bank/organ farm.

Post Samoza Nicaragua was and still is far more democratic than the US has ever been in its entire existence. The work of the FSLN to improve material conditions and ensure genuine democracy and democratic participation was increadable.

Based solely on the terror campaign against Nicaragua, the US deserves to be stripped of all but a small defensive force, have its assets seized to pay reparations and preferably broken up into smaller, less powerful states so it can’t ever again do the kind of evil shit it did to Nicaragua.

The two people who disagree on everything have both told me to stop shitting on the floor and smearing my face with it. Guess I’d better carry on shitting on the floor and smearing my face with it.

Yeah it is. I mean I know fuck all about Chinese naming customs etc. But if I were writing a story and wanted to include a chinese character I would do some basic research and not pick a name that sounds like a character from a deeply unfunny racist comedy show circa 1970

I mean she called her one token Asian Hogwarts student Cho Chong. She’s got a bit of a habit for doing zero research whatsoever.

No one’s singling out Israel on the far left, that’s the thing. Plenty of other American allies get called out. India, for its treatment of Kashmiris, Saudi Arabia for being comic book villain levels of undistilled evil, Australia for its offshore concentration camps etc.

It’s really fucking weird when a left winger gets accused of singling out Israel when they’ve criticised a whole buncha countries. I guess an antisemite lefty story is way easier to manufacture than anything else.

I occasionally see posts from here with army recruiters sending texts to schoolkids and the weird troop worship you have.

If I’d grown up as skint and fucked up as I was in the UK at 16 in the US instead with your lack of healthcare and in a really shit environment I would have taken the first genuine shot of escaping I could.

That would probably have been the army tbh.
