Hearing that from someone who never achieved anything ever is most amusing… There’s a reason the CIA and other agencies tolerate anarchists - they understand they are not a threat

Just like many red things in this world :D
Does anyone have any information sources to at least get the background and the driving motive of this? It’s a damn shame I’m so badly informed on the region and its history
This is some really idealistic brain worms with no analysis of the current system…
“AI”, as much as I personally dislike the term, is already here. You can’t go back after you already have it. The only thing you can change right now is what to use it for. And if you make an argument akin to “if only all people collectively decided not to use this power-hungry tech and save the planet” - that’s not how our society works.
Sure, we’d like to not roast the entire planet with this techbro, stolen data Silicon Valley bullshit, but that’s well beyond our control.
Completely ignoring the gist of the message while pointing and laughing at the tool that was used to create it. Brilliant.
Don’t bother, there’s no point. Even if it made any sense - we neither have the time nor resources to engage with every single smug lib. That’s not our strategy.
Don’t forget the brilliant “New Orc Times” thing liberals started doing when their own beloved sources started to turn around. Ah, emotionally investing in ideas never ceases to amaze…
the racism in russia
Wasn’t it “the West” who came up with the idea of “Asiatic hordes” (which is repurposed Nazi propaganda btw), “orcs” and “untermenschen”? Wasn’t it “the West” who spread the narrative of “relatively European, relatively civilized”, temporary “white” Ukrainians when it was convenient for them? I don’t think you understand what racism is and where it came from.
Historically, racism and “races” were Western European inventions that served the purpose of justifying hereditary slavery and colonialism. Here’s an interesting thing - it never went away. One look at Gaza, Palestine or the Arab world in general should tell you as much.
Racism is also believing western “sources” are inherently, magically more trustworthy than any Russian outlets without doing any outside material analysis of the actual details of history. We do not trust either side, we don’t have to - we analyze the information through a materialist ideological lens.
Yeah, you can’t argue with that…

Also - April 30th is right behind the corner.
Ordinary libs don’t read past the headline. They believe what they want to believe - and what they want to believe is their self-righteousness, manufactured by US/Western propaganda press. They don’t even try to look into the other side’s version.
Yes, because reddthat libs clearly understand more than what CNN/NBC/ABC/XYZ western propaganda press says. You people were unable to point Ukraine on a map four days before Feb 24, and yet you pretend you’re fucking experts on the region and its history, with your stupid smirks and remarks. You ignored the time the US empire (the actual aggressor) conducted two color revolutions in Ukraine, including one that ended in a violent coup in 2014. You ignored the broken promises and Minsk agreements, you ignored 8 years of the AFU shelling the living shit out of people in the Donbass. You ignored the US nazifying Ukraine and pumping it full of NATO weapons, you ignored the US unilaterally torpedoing the INF treaty, you ignored the nuclear-capable Aegis missile systems in Romania and Poland painfully close to Russia’s borders.
That’s the thing, though - they wanted to start a proxy war, and for that they needed to present Russia as the aggressor while erasing every single thing they did to provoke Russia into some sort of response. Otherwise there is no justification for “helping” Ukraine. Otherwise the narrative falls apart at its seams.
I mean… Can you blame the people? It’s not about the tool, it’s about what it’s used for - to either benefit the people or raking in profits above all else.
A little reminder: Zyklon B was initially used as a lice-killing pesticide (to fumigate Mexican immigrants to the US :\ ).
And OF COURSE one of them is from John Bolton - I had an inkling even before I got to have a closer look at the author.

Nah, it is perfectly fine, comrade. Thanks for being open-minded.
I reacted like this because we’ve tackled this question many times and it’s sort of difficult to choose where to even start - so much to unpack (thankfully, others have done it before).
One piece of advice I usually give people is to try not to emotionally invest into the ideas we have in our heads - even Marxism-Leninism - as they are naught but tools to explain (and, hopefully, transform) reality. We’re not born with them, somehow they get into our heads. Sometimes they are deliberately shoved into us by capitalist propaganda press - because they have a material interest in us being misinformed. Liberals, for instance, have a strong tendency to cling to them so much it gets absurd - especially when sources they themselves read start to contradict their own narrative; this is how we end up with libs calling NYT “New Orc Times”.
Zionism coming home to roost, I suppose
