  • Kronstadt started the 1917 revolution. The Kronstadt uprising the Bolsheviks put down was in 1921. Do you honestly think that the Kronstadt sailors who fired the first shots of the revolution were still just chilling in Kronstadt four years later? In the midst of a bloody civil war, with all of the imperialist forces of Europe and America landing troops in the former Russian Empire and supplying the reactionary White forces, do you think that's the time to stab the Red Army in the back and create an opening for reactionary forces to crush the revolution and reimpose capitalist rule?

    Do you also cry for the CIA-backed (check the recently declassified archives) Hungarian nazi collaborators (who perpetrated violent pogroms against the remaining Jewish population of Hungary during their color revolution) that Khruschev's forces crushed?

  • They laughed at my tinfoil hat. We'll see who has the last laugh!

  • Well, with Ukraine being supplied with sufficient, high quality munitions and equipment (and certainly not ancient, mothballed rustbucket tanks), they'll push the RuZZian orcs out any minute now. That's right, any minute now, Steiner will advance and push them back to Moscow!

  • Can't believe all of these tankies are ignoring anti-Russian propaganda. Real thinkers inject Ukrainian Government press releases disguised as journalism straight into their veins.

  • Implants slowly erode the jaw bone underneath over time, whereas a new tooth would keep the jaw bone healthy.

  • Awww the poor widdle spies! They were just innocently torturing innocent people at bwack sites, then destroying all evidence of torture! How dare they sacrifice these benevolent angels to save some RuZZian orc!

  • If your local is anything like mine, they won't respond to the Google forms application anyway and you'll just get the newsletter for six months.

    Unless you're wealthy, it doesn't matter who you vote for. Your interests are not represented, and will not be represented. This isn't accidental, this is the system working as intended (See: Federalist 10). The US constitution was created by wealthy white men to enshrine the minority power of wealthy white men as the law of the land.

    The good news is that political activity is not just limited to voting! Voting in federal elections is mostly a waste of time, as the differences between candidates and major parties is largely just rhetorical. If you must vote, concentrate on local elections, where you might be able to fend off the interests of the powerful landlord and corporate lobbies. But, there's much more you can do! It just requires you to put in effort personally. Political organizing largely can't be done at a keyboard. You need to talk to and form relationships with your coworkers and neighbors. Organize a union at work, a tenants' union among your neighbors, undertake the task of actually educating yourself politically, feed the unhoused and treat them like human beings. Engage in direct action against the power elite who are killing us and our planet.

    Regardless of what task you set yourself to, it requires you to

    , and engage with other human beings.

  • I'm much more concerned about the very real and confirmed ties (see:

    ) Zoom, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, my ISP, my cell phone service provider, etc have to the security apparatus of the country I actually live in who have actual power and authority over me and a long history of murdering left wing activists.

  • I like to go all the way back to Pints of Guinness Make You Strong sometimes. The line

    • If I would have known
    • Just how things would have ended up
    • I just would have let myself die

    Always gets me

    • The Last Thing - Lebanon Hanover
    • Autonomy - Boy Harsher
    • Ghosts Again - Depeche Mode

  • Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin shareholders. BAE and Rheinmetall investors are probably doing well, too.
