It’s a pretty serious historical investigation. I’m not an actual historian, I can only gesture to the words of world systems theorists. I just do takes and book reports for now. Not a real Marxist.

Quick LAUNCH THE ORBITAL MINEFIELD (this is a joke about what starlink already is)
Even if settler-colonialism was common throughout the ancient world, that doesn’t excuse it happening today
It’s important to make a distinction between the “imperialism” of the Roman empire and the 20th century imperialist structure which coalesced in the 20s-60s, likewise we must distinguish between the existence of torture throughout history (often tenuously supported by Victorian hobnobbing and the ability to make a shitty little website that shows up on Google and little else) and the trail of forensic evidence we have stretching back from the SBU’s detention centers where they electrocuted babushkas thru the kidneys (I’m not kidding) all the way to Malaysia
European colonialism is an entirely new phase of history that began 1000 years ago.
Colonialism is how we got capitalism developed as a mode of production, consuming others in the historic centers of human civilization. Spread from Europe into West Asia, India, and China. A millenium ago, so recently rly
Only historical materialism can placate their rabid curiosity now
Reminder this mag is often one of the most direct windows into the mindset of the Biden admin
Potassium isn’t in multivitamins. Make sure your multi has iodine. This solved most of my energy and mood issues that weren’t macronutritional
It wouldn’t take nuclear weapons, or even Iran to step in. Hezbollah has enough ballistic missiles pointed at Israel alone to wipe the country off the map. No one actually decided MAD requires nuclear. Israel’s tiny.
@RyanGosling@hexbear.net OHHH NOOO YOU CAN’T SAY THAT ZIONISTS ARE INCOMPETENT IT’S WHAT THEY WANT
Why do you guys spend like 10 years having fruitless conversations with Americans we can walk out. We can leave
Aliens, I saw it before Alien. Parasitism and wanting to escape life through death are interesting concepts. Ultimately I came to my conclusions about suffering and how consciousness repeatedly emerges in the world alone. Still haven’t found anyone who “gets it” but it feels really basic, what I believe. Maybe I’m missing something but it seems kind of childish to fear death the way people do. One of my horrible family members is very decrepit now and everyone is acting like he has to be as selfish and horrible about it as he is but I know I won’t be like that. I wouldn’t be like that, with palliative care and surrounded by loved ones. He’s ungrateful. I hate him. I hope he dies soon. He will.
for liberals to attack the actual problems with russian elections, they’d have to use criticisms of democratic countries which would resonate with their own population about where they themselves vote. a total mythology is required to replace actual russian history and current events because reality itself is i guess you could say pretty radicalizing vs information acquired via “economics” and capitalist press
im entirely deepfake now it’s so cheap
I feel so bad for people in my industry who are not leaving the USA. Until I talk to them and they dismiss other options haughtily.
