let's get this on federation shall we
Not every exasperated petty bourgeois could have become Hitler, but a particle of Hitler is lodged in every exasperated petty bourgeois.
this thing keeps going off whenever I browse non- local, what's up with thatIt may seem like a workable solution but don't take the batteries out. It's like taking the batteries out the smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm. You get a bit of peace and quiet but the problem gets bigger.
of course, lebensraum drew straight from manifest destiny, USA and its lapdogs have yet to answer for their crimes
Yet to answer for, yet to pay restitution, yet to even truly liberate us even
"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. The progress is healing the wound that the blow made.. And they won't even admit the knife is there."
-- Malcolm X, 1964
hey have you watched "the man in the high castle" it's about alternative universe in which the nazis won, can you imagine if that happened, can you imagine if they just took over an entire continent and murdered almost everyone on it and installed a fascist christian ethnostate and went about playing world police for 80 years, that would be real fucked up
My favorite part about the book is that there's an alt-alt-history novel the characters will sometimes read, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy where instead the Allies win the alt-history version of WW2. In the alt-alt-history, after the Allies win they basically do a positive imperialism where they conquer Africa and China, somehow eliminate poverty, spread the New Deal worldwide, then the US and UK get into a cold war that the UK wins.
I took it to mean that PKD thought even in a liberal's wildest imagination, even when under the direct threat of fascism, they'd write a book about how they almost win and then lose.
I made a similar observation several years ago. For the American tribes still present, The Man in the High Castle is a reality for them.
no but I've watched Harry Potter. Expelliarmus! Crypto Patronym! Terra Nullius!
Inside a westerner there are two wolves
One is Mussolini, the other is Hitler
Kind of a disservice to commie westerners, like me (please forgive me for the heinous crime of being polish 😭😭😭), who saw the light and dropped Mussolini and Hitler. It was a hard and long poop, the one you have to take your shirt off on, but they got out.
Don't worry, we are not westerners, never were and never will be. Now if only our compatriots noticed that pretty clear 1000 year huge memo...
He was born near the Caucasus mountains so he is very much caucasian 😎
This is a discourse? I for one don't buy the whole "Slavs aren't white"
you and me don't actually get to determine who is or isn't white, maybe you werent aware of this but for awhile the fucking Irish weren't considered white, slavs are not actually considered truly white by our ruling class
As somebody on here said, the moment the Germans ever break free of the US yoke is the moment this kind of propaganda comes roaring back
the thing about racism is that the racists get to decide how they are racist and against who. It's inconsistent because it isn't a science it's the opinions of a bunch of racists
The willingness not only to dehumanise all Russians at the drop of a hat is astounding in itself, but to then go on and assert just how many Ukrainian lives we're willing to drop in a blender to STICK IT TO PUTLER is next level. The complete willingness for bloodshed on both sides is strange. The contest seems to be just how many countries of people can they support the genocide of simultaneously.
also very high odds all of these people thought Ukraine was in Russia until very recenly
save for the few who experienced the interactive documentary known as "stalker shadow of chernobyl"
The lines from politicians (of both sides of the american political party) about how happy they are they get to kill russians without any American lives lost is the most telling thing, they don't give a shit about anyone in Ukraine. Lives lost don't mean a single damn to them.
Any Ukranian who sees that shit should realise that the west doesn't care about them for a second. They are in for a rude awakening if they think the average person will see a single american dollar to provide water, food or blankets. Incidentally, all things Evil China has provided to them already.
It's incredible how situational Russian humanity is to the liberal. Or any other nationality's humanity.
As long as they do what we want them to and move towards neoliberal capitalism, they're fine. They're great. They understand that the real world is difficult, just like we do, but they're doing what they need to.
As soon as they deviate from that and go the other way, they're savages who don't understand how the world has changed and they need to get on with the times. They become worthless, and anything we inflict on them is justified ad hoc. It's their fault. They don't understand why they need to bow down to nato for their own good.
At the end of every westerner is his own Hitler.
Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa
I have talked a good deal about Hitler. Because he deserves it: he makes it possible to see things on a large scale and to grasp the fact that capitalist society, at its present stage, is incapable of establishing a concept of the rights of all men, just as it has proved incapable of establishing a system of individual ethics. Whether one likes it or not, at the end of the blind alley that is Europe, I mean the Europe of Adenauer, Schuman, Bidault, and a few others, there is Hitler. At the end of capitalism, which is eager to outlive its day, there is Hitler. At the end of formal humanism and philosophicrenunciation, there is Hitler

@CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml you should add this as the text for the post
For the past few days I have done nothing but lurk hexbear struggle sessions and sh.itjust.works threads involving them and honestly, I believe every liberal (at least from there) does not just have a potential of hitler but a particle of hitler inside of them. Just like Trotsky wrote or something lmao
'Potential' Hitler? At least half of them proudly wear their armbands on their shoulders
Don't be a liar. Liberals only wear it when in private or if it's socially acceptable.
Its getting to the point that I'm starting to like seeing these idiot liberal comments, not because of the contents but because of the sheer ridiculousness of their perspectives. I think if we ban them we should leave their comments up just for the spectacular breakdown that usually happens in the replies, its gold imo.
They get too uppity and irritating in the comments, we post bait on federation, they get hooked, we laugh, the natural order is maintained.
This is a joke that requires reading a wiki page to understand.

This is not about the jokes, but the things that we learned along the way.
in addition to ignoring the context behind the war, Western online liberals tend to encourage sacrificing as many Ukrainian lives as "necessary" in order to regain control over pieces of land (primarily the Donbas and Crimea), regardless of what their long-time inhabitants want and what the Ukrainians forced to join the army want
Thanks for also being the first other person I've seen refer to the commonly-accepted-but-fucked-up-practice of Ukrainians being forced to join the army against their will. Any male over 18 gets stripped from their families at the border when trying to flee the country, then forced to help kill Russians (and other Ukrainians) or face death - which is seriously awful.
I've seen it mentioned here a few times, it's even more egregious than a standard draft
Oh fuck me, I thought we canibalized :rat-salute: from hexbear :sadness:
But I do like it's dithered style. Very much actually, it's got great vibes just off of that.
I just use my own emotes and dither everything because It's Fun(TM)
Fucking ayy, props for you. Maybe try making some emotes in the style of images Low Tech Magazine uses. I even tried making some monochrome photos specifically to dither them like that, the results are nice but you kind of need to know what you are doing with the light so it turns out well. You can always mess with the contrast and that could work too.
Either way, the photos edited to look that way look fucking amazing. Dithering rocks.
that's an interesting aesthetic; I've only been using the GIMP dithering filter for emotes so far, tweaking the number of colours in each channel so it's easily recognizable at 100% resolution, very simplistic stuff
for them is a double win, slavs against slav murdering each other, without a single drop of white blood being shed
