new Alien sequel looks HAWT
crazy that this technology could be used to free humanity from wage slavery, but naturally, instead we've been put in a zero sum contest with the tech to drive down the cost of labor.
its too bad the rest of his manifesto beyond the first line is borderline incomprehensible, ideologically.
that first line though. shit goes hard.
edit: just realized the first line of a manifesto is probably the only one people will remember. "a specter is haunting Europe..." and "the industrial revolution and its consequences..." are probably too of the most memorable lines of any political text i can remember.
ngl its a little sus to post on such a community-focused communist site that you just got millions of dollars in free money and then ask for financial advice and then tell your comrades to fuck off.
obviously, you do you. set yourself up and enjoy life. but i seriously hope you consider setting aside a good portion of that for mutual aid.
edit: duh, its a bit
can you imagine how boring that conversation was
man, the scope and scale of the western propaganda machine is just wild. these institutions literally exist to manufacture nationalist slop identical to the shit published under the third reich. how tf do libs not see this shit
hopefully some IOF sniper sees her vest and mistakes her for a journalist
I think those first gen insights looked pretty cool ngl. Still just wish Honda would start remaking the CRX.
The Prius does look better without the spats imo.
China is stealing tech patents and its not fair, also their tech is 10 years behind, also they live in a dystopian tech-ruled surveillance state, also their economy is about to collapse, also they are single-handedly destabilizing US hegemony
for comparison: over-emphasizing every other word kills the natural flow of reading something yourself (and makes it seem like the writer is talking down to the reader). italics can be helpful for understanding what exactly an author is trying to say by emphasizing a certain word, but when you start forcing emphasis on every other word, and you're doing it every sentence, reading the entire essay/book becomes unnecessarily arduous. I literally cannot read much of Lenin's work, because it reads like a condescending reddit post. when I can find his writing with all the heavy-handed emphasis removed, it reads a lot more naturally.

e: sorry i responded so late to this comment, its a good question
also my oversimplified understanding of why the cold war even happened was that stalin beat the shit out of the nazis for the allies but the west didnt want to give him too much credit or put the soviets on equal footing as economic post war partners, so the US basically engineered a long era of continued weapons manufacturing using the domestic and liberated/defeated nations industries to subsidize and expand our military while also protecting western capital interests from having to compete in a multipolar global economy where international prols would have increased bargaining power and autonomy, am i doodoo brained or is this kinda sorta accurate
absolute banger of a quote

I mean, I'm kinda surprised Jon doesn't even point out the obvious provocation of the prospect of Ukraine joining a hostile anti-Russian military alliance that would put
hypersonicnuclear missiles 5 minutes from Moscow. Like, literally right on the Russian border.Uh -- let's entertain a hypothetical in which one of the US's neighboring countries decided to join a hostile military alliance that put nukes 5 minutes off the US coast. Oh right, that happened! We responded by invading, trying to assassinate their democratically elected president, and then we blockeded, sanctioned and starved them for generations.
Why not point out that Putin is literally doing what any US president would do, except, like... not nearly as barbaric?
