Getting into it with someone IRL and having them straight up say that "Of course America will be able to actually catch up and compete if we get some of the loose baggage off of us!"
(This loose baggage is things like D.E.I, trans etc)
Despite the unpleasantry, I was able to get them to at least admit that cutting government programs isn't gonna make us somehow compete with China. Nor spending billions on programs that only cost China hundreds of millions. Decent progress, despite the bad-taste in my mouth.
The thing that makes me genuinely shocked though is that there are a lot of burgers who think that by just being as racist, homophobic piece of shit settlers even harder that somehow that will absolve their country of struggle and decay. Somehow that will solve all the issues...it's the "third column" holding our country back...apparently. I suppose all the propaganda of "China bad" in terms of convincing burgers of their wunderwaffe compared to "inferior chinese products" really did take a toll.
Am feeling better. Am glad I have a good immune system because my family apparently is still struggling. Have an extra day to recoup because of the genocidaire holiday, so one thing at least.
Bananas, veggie soup and elderberry is champ. Shoutout to those powdered IV packets. Already forgot the brand-name. That fucking sucked; I have no idea where that came from but I have a sneaking suspicion it was being around a group of people even while I was wearing a scarf/mask. Genuinely was horrible, never had a chill/heat cycle happen what felt like every minute before. I had COVID before and this felt worse, all though I don't think it was COVID because I didn't get nearly as bad "brain fog". Who knows, been able to stay inside thankfully.
I rewatched CCK Philosophy's "Violent End of the German Revolution" and the Urban Guerillas one. So many bad-ass people lost almost entirely to the annals of history. It makes me sad, but hopeful in a way if that makes sense.
Fallacy is immediately implying anything created by Russia is propaganda meanwhile the U.S is boosting Radio Free Asia and multiple other outlets to coup and influence politics in third world countries.
So what? Can you actually point out any flaws or why they're wrong? Or are we doing the same shit conservatives like to do?
Back from a (near) month long hiatus doing some stuff. Working with people is tiring and that is all I have to say to that. Hexbear is down and apparently, if what I'm hearing correctly, the owner of the domain disappeared a while back and for some reason the admins didn't drop everything they can to get it back even with a month-long extension. Neat.
That is a shame as I was fond of the news mega-thread. Will that be continuing here or some other instance? Also glad to see a boost to one of my favorite online communities as well, not at the expense of another one, though. Looks like all those struggle threads and fighting really worked out in the end, eh?
Anyways, with what is around me it's hard to build a "community". Half of these people are completely clueless and have zero interest in anything political despite having obvious biases, chauvinist, etc and other brain-wormed takes they inherited from family, television or wherever else. Another quarter (possibly more) is completely racist, with another quarter being red and blue libs that I can more or less get along with depending on how many worms occupy the space where their grey matter is supposed to be.
It may feel like I'm purposefully trying to come off misanthropic; but I don't hate them or despise them (maybe the racists) just really frustrating trying to connect with people close to you about these things and have them completely gloss over the fact that we are facing barbarism. We certainly have some work to do and I think it becomes a lot more comprehensible when you aren't on shit like X or other platforms. When you surround yourself with insanity it starts to look like a mad-house. Unrelated, but good song by Anthrax too.
weirdly enough, despite their uneducated central "planists" who all got murdered; they somehow with sticks, stones and "uneducated workers" that were all brought back to life via Leninist necromancy managed to make a famine not happen again. Weird. It's almost like the exploiters of that land were causing famines by their own mismanagement and that central planning actually contributed to the fact that the average soviet citizen ate better than the average American one.
Also, can I get some sources on the Soviets just selling all their grain? You know, when I set up a communist society; the first thing I'd do is satisfy all my trade agreements with the west instead of serving the people! That makes sense!
Oh and sources on the KNVD just brutally marauding across the land and murdering? I can only find deportations.
