Prince Peter Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.
Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.
As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geographical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.
Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.
Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.
He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.
He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. He remained in England until the Russian revolution in 1917. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.
Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scientific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthropology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

one of the worst things about getting older is seeing your parents age and start to break down :deeper-sadness:
my mom's health is pretty bad, she'll probably go prematurely bc of lack of healthcare and this fucked up country costs her almost 1k dollars a month just to get the medicine she needs to live. I was already on my way to being a socialist when she started having these issues but it definitely helped set a lot of things in stone
thanks i appreciate it, it's really just her life now and I can see it taking a toll on her. I just have to enjoy my time with her and hope she lasts as long as she can.
working in medicine is what radicalized me.
Take care of your self. I have seen too many people broken by trying to make the system work.
My grandma died a few weeks ago and it has me freaked out about my parents
im sorry for your loss comrade, hope you parents stay health for a long time
My 15 year old dog had to be put down today from full organ failure. I was set to go home this weekend. I just wish she could have lasted a little longer so I could have hugged her one more time.
Every time I left home for what feels like the last 5 years I always prepped myself to thinking it'd be the last time. I was the most prepped over christmas but she was so much herself despite being ancient, i felt like she could do anything.
She was honestly more person than dog. She had this deep emotional look behind her eyes, a look that was far more than her just liking how you fed her. She never barked unless it was important, always when two people she loved were in conflict. She put up with 3 kids growing up, always slept in our beds, only afraid of thunderstorms. Until her dying day, she never pissed or shit on the floor as long as she had a say.
She would always do this thing where she'd step outside on the porch, and just look into the sky and pause to feel the breeze on her, absolutely at peace, no matter the season. She commanded respect from even the brattiest puppies.
Even when her legs were going and she was getting weak, we took her for a walk and she broke out into a full sprint down the driveway. Just a dog and being that knew love, knew what she loved, and was always her truest self and the greatest companion one could have.
RIP Angel, 2005-2021. I'll never know another dog quite like you.
Hopefully you dont end up like shin godzilla because of the metamorphosis

I don't really post here often but the situation in the hoi4 modding scene is agony-inducing. :agony-deep:
The lead dev of TNO, one of the biggest mods for hoi4 left development and the hoi4 community altogether after mass doxing and raiding by Kiwi farms and 4chan for being trans.
The dev was sent death threats and doxxed multiple times on many platforms, the situation has been ongoing but today she announced that she would be stepping down from the mod and the entire HoI4 community.

This post on the subreddit explains the situation, again CW for transphobia,
I cannot reiterate this enough, gamers get the wall. :gui-trans:
this is how i feel as well but i'm always too afraid to admit it for some reason
I mean, what could it be? a bear? a sheep? I guess a bunny, or if you're really going far out there, an elephant. Its not like they make stuffed paraceratheriums, do they?
edit: it looks like they do make them, but only for dogs.
edit edit: Apparently they make life size stuffed geraffes, but they cost $16k https://hansatoystore.com/products/GIRAFFE-REAL-SIZE-16-Tall-3884
We are just a few more shitposts away from turning all chapo chat into a polycule. So you can call that one plan B.
annyone else feel unable to do even basic tasks lol. i opened my work for today, did 6 questions and sent an email and i literally feel unable to do more. it's like i've hit a wall and there is nothing left for me to do but be horribly burnout.
Finally got the balaclava, my ears are so warm when I bike to work now :ira: :comfy:
It is the twentieth day of the Biden administration and the camps are not closed.
I spent the evening playing video games instead of watching tryhard commercials and I think I’m less depressed than I could’ve been 👍
Learned at the Super Bowl thing I attended that everyone there but me was cut out of the stimulus because the Democrats lowered the income ceiling

it actually might be, or at least some kind of twitch/streamer thing
