  • It's not because of blind allegiance to Russia or anything like that, people have positions counter to your narrative as the result of actually paying attention to events, as they've unfolded, over years.

    Impressive how mad you babies get when people don't swallow the lies you're peddling, expecting them to be taken as implicitly true or something.

  • It would save on a lot of the discrete components used, I am not a fan of running open-loop voltage supplies.

  • Was checking the schematic, nice notes! I would have sprung for a regulated -9V using a dedicated switched cap doubler chip (they're cheap, 1x of these to invert, 1x to double) and a LDO follower.

  • That's pretty much what's been happening since federation.

    but also yes lmao

  • nope, just another random user, we have a lot of overlap in politics though as you can tell

  • I'm in a communist party, I do local organizing, get people out on picket lines, run food distributions.

    I do other stuff that I would not post about online as well.

  • I tend to communicate with direct action, rather than trying to sway people materially aligned against me with words.

    It's one thing to say you support things and vote, it's another to actually show up to organize and fight for those things.

  • Liberals already make it very clear that they aren't left wing, do you think barely-regulated capitalism is a left wing position? Do you think constant warmongering is a left wing position? They're garbage at actually doing anything concrete besides spending money on weapons.

    Sounds like you like cheering for blue team though.

  • I gratuitously use cat emoji don't worry. It's not the same without blobby though.

  • this is being pressured to do austerity

    minsk 1 and 2 peace agreements, Both broken by Russia(n backed forces). And exactly those forces also made sure that people can't vote.

    Pretty sure the ceasefire violations were a 'both sides' thing, but for most of this fighting one side (Ukraine) has has a distinct advantage in terms of weaponry, considering the irregular forces.

    The west was using those peace agreements to build up forces, Merkel literally admitted that on camera.

  • Kosovo's secession wasn't unilateral, it was NATO-backed. Also, it followed a genocide I think I already told you that can't be arsed to go back and have a look at which hexbear I educated on that particular topic.

    It was not including voting from the rest of the country of Serbia, that's what unilateral means jfc. Also the west only 'cares' about muslim life when it's time to use them as an pretext for intervention they wanted to do anyways, same with how they suddenly care about uyghers now.

    There were documented examples of Romani having to pretend to be kosovar albanians to flee the NATO bombing because there was no resources made available for any other minority ethnic group.

    The whole NATO backed dismantling of yugoslavia was criminal

    The US has stocks but they don't have production capacity. Well, at least not nearly enough.

    Yes I know, that's why they should stop getting Ukranians killed and pull all support.

  • How does e.g. Argentine keep getting away with things?

    wtf are you talking about? link

    Argentina, the largest debtor with the IMF after years of economic crisis, has seen locals lose faith in their currency as inflation hit triple-digits and almost four-in-10 people are below the poverty line.

    They're already in debt hand getting pressured to do austerity, what do you even think is going on in the world?

    Weird, so almost like there was an active war going on And whose fault is that? Who prevented that people in occupied regions participated in the elections?

    I think the fault lies with the people who ignored any attempts at negotiation (minsk 1 and 2 peace agreements, and went on ramping up for a proxy war anyways)

    There was a coup -> there is an active warzone in part of the country -> elections happen (so free and fair) -> The post coup elected government continues shelling the people living in the east anyways -> intervention happens

  • Words have meanings, you know. This is a war of conquest, and a very direct one at that.

    lmao, one sentence later. There's already plenty of precedent for unilateral secession, the EU made it clear it was okay with that when it was Serbia, why are you raising a stink now?

    why the US is in this: a) glee at Russia willingly running into another Afghanistan and b) because Europe is.

    sounds like a proxy war to me, and if the US pulled out they would not have any ammunition, it's only viable because of US support right now.
