Yes, it would be cataclysmic. In the longer term though, I would argue that just about everyone on the planet would be a winner if the US empire were finally put down. You can’t really overstate how much of an impediment the US is to global human welfare and development.

Pretty much my attitude on the subject as well.

It was the silver legion I think. Lol. Personally, I assume they were successful, and all the mods have been compromised. They’re just biding their time now. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike and ruin us all.

Might be going to a gathering of the local anprims this weekend. If you never hear from me again it’s either because I decided to join them and forsake all technology and civilization, or because I simply froze to death listening to a bluegrass band play outdoors in single digit temps.

Oh man. I watched one of those last year for the first time in probably a decade, and it was some of the most dogshit television I have ever seen. Like even the hosts seemed bored. Wouldn’t be nearly as bad if they got people with even just the tiniest bit of wit or charisma to host. Whole thing felt like an AI fever dream that was also somehow a commercial. Went to bed feeling sick from it. Maybe I’ll watch again tonight to see if it’s even worse this year.

Peter Watkins has some good ones. Ken loach and costa-gavras too. Eisenstein if you really wanna party. Probably some good lesser known works by global south filmmakers but those are the big ones that come to mind for me.

They all look unwell. Cheeks more flushed than rosy. Like they’re all drunk as shit. Or afflicted with scarlet fever. Or perhaps malnourished from their bread and apples diet. Sounds like a great show.

Self harm via television. Thank you for the CW.

It’s because our ancestors in the state of nature collectively decided to form the social contract so they wouldn’t get eaten by cave bears. Hence the bourgeois state. Haven’t you read theory?

I am so bewildered about what went on there. It’s too many cars to be collateral damage. And I seriously doubt hamas would have been this focused on cars. Which really just leaves the possibility that IDF was… just trying to annihilate as many cars as possible? Idk. Super fucking weird.

Well, yeah. Point was more just that there is no need for insurgent/Guerilla tactics when you have a massive conventional force dug in within shooting distance of a bunch critical potential targets.

Seoul is actually pretty close to the DMZ. Plenty of rich folks there. If shit really kicked off the city could be obliterated by artillery pretty quickly. Not sure why DPRK would need to do “Hamas style attacks” when they could just do that instead.

This comment sounds like it was written by the official AI of liberalism.

Damn. This shit is depressing. Self proclaimed “leftists” still out there complaining about “tankies” in 2023. Truly embarrassing for everyone.

Tried the expensive pasta for the first time in my life, on a whim, about a month ago. Not really in the budget for it to be a regular thing, but damn… It’s a million times better, I am sad to say. I totally get it.

Don’t even know what to say about this guy anymore. I’m not going to read this whole thing, but the excerpt sounds like a generic western lib op-ed. Is this just what he does now? Goddamn, dude. Either his brain is cooked or he’s on the CIA payroll now.

Man…Kinda tired of liberalism. Gotta say. It’s getting a little old. A little tedious. And shows no signs of stopping. Or even just giving it a rest for a bit. It’s just always there. God damn. Give us a break.

Made kimchi today. Curtido last week. Kombucha and cider going too. Eventually I will have so many fermented foods that I will no longer need a refrigerator and my gut biome will become sentient and possess me like a demon. I look forward to it.

It frees your brain up to be anxious about work instead of anxious about chores and bills. For a week or so, until you’re anxious about both again.

Yeah, that’s kind of what I was getting at. I don’t think MMT is necessarily wrong about how money works on a certain technical level. It’s just that capitalist states depend on myths about money that are contrary to MMT. So yes, MMT within these states is a fantasy that will never come to be. But understanding why this is the case can be on on-ramp to Marxism for the curious baby leftist.
