Me trying to explain that the Soviet Union doesn’t exist anymore and that it’s former citizens are scattered all over the world and you can even talk to them if you want to

Unserious political rhetoric works on a certain type of people that don’t expect (right or wrong) to personally face real life consequences. They’ve never seen anyone approach politics with actual rigor. They probably don’t even know that’s something you can do. Anyway, I had the misfortune today of having to work with someone joking about Russians being chased down and killed with Ukrainian drones. They said 'bye bye, comrade." It’s gonna be a rude awakening when the Ukrainian state collapses and they find out that Russians aren’t just a bunch of hapless untermensch, except it won’t be, because they somehow never understood that politics is about the real world. I’ll stop my rant here.


The Kremlin also may have amassed 1 gorillion drones, and might have even more by the end of summer. We don’t know what we don’t know, so this is good journalism and brave truth telling.


Exactly. If most Americans weren’t spending decades simmering in a racism stew they could recognize an obvious absurdity. We HATE Asians, from the Caucasus to the Pacific Ocean, even the liberal adults in the room will say and believe the stupidest things before they consider the humanity of an Asian person.


Maybe this is a wild thing to say, but I feel like claiming 42000 people were killed without pointing to any physical evidence is a form of light holocaust denial. The west has relatively recent experience with events where they kill tens of thousands of people. Europe is littered with mass graves. We all know that 42000 bodies don’t just dissappear. Even incinerating them is a labor intensive, arduous, and highly visible process.
All these old Russians only miss the Soviet Union because they’re nostalgic for their better lives. Obviously, this is not a valid consideration.



True, but the V day parade was awesome. With or without Putin, Russia is going to outlast the west. It will be for a lot of material reasons, but it will also be because antifascism was cultivated for decades as a core element of their national identity, and that idea spoke to people so strongly that capitalist restoration could never overcome it. The west will give antifacism a nod, but it is not encouraged as something the working class should take seriously.


This is their best work


They’re being paid by Iran AND Russia

The Beginning of History



I was wondering how this was happening. I don’t think the normal US hantavirus can spread human to human.


I’m too lazy to look up the date, but Kit Carson destroyed Navajo peach orchards sometime in the mid 19th century.


She really got herself a keeper. I can’t imagine how deranged someone would have to be to have four kids with Elon Musk. I’m sure they’re perfect for eachother.


Dominoes is diversifying


More efficient at what? Transferring surplus labor value to the bourgeoisie?


Iran is engaging in a FULL-SCALE invasion of the global commodities market.


I’ve had these types of guys in my life, and I miss them, but not when I remember having to watch Boondock Saints.
Building a persona around Boondock Saints is the low rent version of building a persona around Pulp Fiction. I knew lots of both kinds of guys. I think the Boondock guys might have been more fun.


I know guys that had this memorized and thought it was really awesome to recite it at parties. They stopped doing it by around 2003, because they grew up.
