Humans will anthromorphize anything

Knuckling under to fascism is the stupidest game of all

There are at least a few. There’s the little villar perosa submachine gun from ww1 that everyone remembers from Battlefield 1, although that’s basically two guns in one body. As far as something modern that truly is just one gun with two magazines, the Keltec KSG shotgun uses two tubes side by side that can be toggled between with a switch. Not only does it double the gun’s capacity without adding any extra length, but it also allows you to load each tube with a different kind of shot and switch between the two at will. Adds a good amount of weight though.

A better word for what? A state?

The bums

Who are “the bums”? Ask a communist, and they’ll tell you it’s the rich capitalists who run everything. Ask a fascist, and they’ll tell you it’s jews and brown people. This is the problem with not having a class analysis, without it you’re permanently stunted at the childhood level of “good guys and bad guys”, with nothing but vibes and latent social prejudices to decide which is which.

The is the fundamental reason communism is not viable. I

China is currently the world power, has lifted over 500 million people out of poverty, and has achieved the fastest increase in average lifespan in human history. The second fastest increase in human history was the establishment of the Soviet Union. As of the last Harvard survey, 95.5% of Chinese people are “satisfied or very satisfied” with their society. To saycommunism isn’t viable is, I’m sorry, cope. Communist Cuba has been strangled by embargo for it’s entire existence and they still invented a cancer vaccine. Incredible things are possible when money and resources go to something other than a handful of rich capitalist pedophiles.

We know the solutions that tend yield best results. They tend to be democracies with a fairly homogenious population and a socialist bent.

“It is known”. And oh look, the old “different races and cultures of people just can’t get along happily” racist brainworm rears it’s ugly head again, along with the implication that communist governments somehow aren’t democratic? The CPC has nine million members, and works by moving proposals up from local councils to national bodies. Meanwhile in our “democracies”, corporations write the laws and it’s legal for them to bribe the handful of legislators, who speak for gerrymandering districts full of disenfranchised people. Don’t forget also that we have the most prisoners and prison slaves of any place on Earth. Last year I watched four riot cops break a college kid’s arm right in front of me for the crime of protesting against Palestinian genocide. I say of “capitalist democracy” what Ghandi said of “western civilization”: sounds great, when do you start?

It shows neither is the way

I will find whoever wrote that line into The Mandalorian and beat them with soap bars like private Pyle.

I’d love to say yes, but ironically changing that state of affairs is going to require a lot of violence

“Authoritarianism” is not a word that describes any real distinction, it’s a thought-terminating cliche that boils down to “any use of authority the speaker doesn’t like”, similar to how “terrorism” just means “any use of violence the state doesn’t approve of”. In practice, there is no such thing as an non-“authoritarian” government. It’s an oxymoron. Every single government on earth maintains a monopoly on violence and enforces laws with that monopoly. It’s doubly important to use that authority to protect a revolution, because no capitalist order will allow itself to just be voted away without escalating into full-spectrum war, as we’ve seen for over a hundred years, and will require a functioning state to combat. From Engel’s On Aurhority, 1872:

All Socialists are agreed that the political state, and with it political authority, will disappear as a result of the coming social revolution, that is, that public functions will lose their political character and will be transformed into the simple administrative functions of watching over the true interests of society. But the anti-authoritarians demand that the political state be abolished at one stroke, even before the social conditions that gave birth to it have been destroyed. They demand that the first act of the social revolution shall be the abolition of authority. Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon — authoritarian means, if such there be at all; and if the victorious party does not want to have fought in vain, it must maintain this rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionists. Would the Paris Commune have lasted a single day if it had not made use of this authority of the armed people against the bourgeois? Should we not, on the contrary, reproach it for not having used it freely enough?

For something.more modern, here’s a sick ass 2 minute Parenti beat that goes over the same thing

Downvote isn’t mine btw, I save that for people who are being hostile

Sewing! Clothes are too expensive and I’ve found a very cheap cloth store. It’s dark and cramped and you have to dig around, but they have good stuff in there. Tank tops are the easiest garment to learn, and now I’m working on drafting a nice button up for the fancy blue cloth I found

Love the way this is phrased, gonna borrow it for threats

“I will absolve your ass from the fabric of reality for the rest of time.”

It used to be That 70s Show, but too many of the cast is too weird/creepy now

Can you find an example of anyone actually saying that?

Are you talking about the Minsk agreements?

Of course they wouldn’t claim to take it in 3 days

So now you agree that what you just said was a lie? Cool, now we’re getting somewhere.

The goal is not to take all of Ukraine, because this isn’t medieval times lol. The goals are:

-Liberate the Donbas republics, which the Ukrainian coup regime had spent a decade ethnically cleansing

-Prevent Ukraine from being admitted to NATO, which would put a nuclear armed US puppet government within 15 minutes strike distance to Moscow and is therefore an unacceptable security risk to the RF

-Break the AFU’s ability to launch conventional missile strikes within Russia

Goals one and two have been achieved, while Russia’s continued attrition of the Ukranian military is in the process of achieving the third.

On a personal note, is simping for a nazi regime how you imagined you’d spend your life?

Nope, and neither do you: the oft-repeated “3 days” line was said by a US state department ghoul who was ascribing that attitude to the Russians. You will not find a representative of the Russian Federation claiming to take Ukraine in 3 days, because that’s something that has been memed into collective memory despite not actually happening.

It’s definitely a military operation though, you’ve got that much correct.

What color is the sky in your world, traveller?

Hey remember when anyone suggesting that Ukraine wasn’t about to storm Moscow in two weeks was a Russian bot? Remember when Russia was on the verge of collapse like, seven times? And Russain soldiers had never seen paved roads or washing machines, and were fighting with shovels, and the Ukranians were mowing them down in their hundreds and thousands?

When you swallow load after load of bullshit because it reinforces a story you want to believe, you incur a debt to the truth, to reality. And now that the debt is coming due, you have no recourse but to attack the people who didn’t allow themselves to be seduced by flattering nonsense. Deep down, you know you got played.

Heartbreaking: worst person you know etc etc
