Before/after article caps are always good, but when it’s the same guy it’s always that little extra

37·7 months agoAlso, the word they translated as ‘massacre’ was actually also ‘liquidate’, which obviously has a different meaning when talking about organizations, but then you can’t expect journalistic or moral integrity from the BBC.
(But also I fully support massacring all the scum they’ve been financing)

I swear to defend my country against enemies both foreign and domestic, whole or separated into constituent cloves, whether or not peeled, chilled, fresh, frozen, provisionally preserved or packed in water or other neutral substance, and the threat they pose to US. national security.
25·7 months agoThis region has always been disputed, but Guyana recently discovered a bunch of oil, a portion of which is off the coast of the disputed area. The issue has basically been dormant for decades, because the region in question despite being 90% of the land area of Guyana has only 10-15% of the population, mostly Indigenous villages. However, it was never formally resolved, which means the countries’ coastal economic zone was never resolved either. This would also be fine, except Guyana has already got involved with Exxon to start exploring oil reserves in the contested offshore area, so Venezuela has to do something now or else the precedent will be set that it belongs to Guyana, which will be almost impossible to undo.
Frankly I don’t think either side here is prepared for a full-scale military conflict, I think Venezuela will annex the territory by just starting to provide administration to the region, build roads etc. and claim that as it was essentially not being administered to before (and it really wasn’t), Guyana has lost claim to it. Nor does Guyana have the resources to start administering it properly, because as a US/Western puppet they’ve been thoroughly drained the same way every latin american puppet has. So what I’m really hoping is Venezuela can just peacefully push them out through simple economic, administrative means.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paraquet
On the next day, the 15 men of Mountain troop, led by Captain Gavin Hamilton, were airlifted onto Fortuna glacier by two Wessex helicopters. They were immediately confronted with extreme conditions including 100 mph winds and freezing temperatures. Deep crevasses slowed the advance, and when the men attempted to set up camp and wait out the storm, their tents were swept away by the wind. Finally, after 15 hours on the glacier, Captain Hamilton requested evacuation, with the message “Unable to move. Environmental casualties imminent.” Three Wessex helicopters were dispatched from the Task Force: two Wessex Mk5s from Tidespring and one Mk3 from Antrim. After one failed attempt, they managed to locate and embark the stranded SAS men, but in whiteout conditions, one pilot became disorientated and his aircraft crashed. The passengers were loaded onto the two remaining helicopters, but soon afterwards one of these hit a ridge and crashed, though once again without any serious casualties. The last Wessex, Antrim′s Mk3, after having offloaded its troops on board the destroyer returned to the glacier and after two failed attempts managed to retrieve the downed SAS and aircrew, though their equipment had to be abandoned. The pilot, Lieutenant Commander Ian Stanley, managed to nurse his overloaded aircraft back to Antrim and make an emergency landing on her flight deck, for which he was later awarded the Distinguished Service Order.[9][10]
They’re so desperate to do special forces stuff, they are so absolutely obsessed with a squad of elite supersoldiers doing what no one else dares, overcoming all odds through grit and determination by being superior heroic individuals. And then, when all that failed, the Royal Navy bombarded the hills opposite the Argentinian position and they surrendered immediately with no further shots fired.

5·7 months agoI feel the same way, although rather I feel dialectical materialism has made all bourgeoise philosophy obsolete. Any philosophical endeavor that doesn’t take dialectical materialism as its basis is like a physics hypothesis that ignores general relativity. Like always, I will plug The Destruction of Reason, which shows how bourgeoise philosophy has only regressed for about 170 years since Hegel, and has no further purpose but to quiet the guilty conscience of capitalists or rouse their petit bourgeoise footsoldiers to defend capital.
Not a good look… sorry
Fully agree, hope Xi washed his hands thoroughly afterwards

Gifted to see how kind the world could be, cursed to live with how cruel it is
The popularity of securing a state job - known in Chinese as “landing ashore” - has fuelled an unlikely fashion trend, in which young men display their aspirations with sombre suits, windbreakers and even Communist party badges, a vogue known as “cadre style”
I wanna be dripped out cadre style…Chinese chatbots have struggled to compete with ChatGPT [citation needed], because the Party imposed rules requiring them to uphold “socialist core values” (If you ask ErnieBot, a Chinese version of ChatGPT, whether Xi Jinping is pragmatic, it replies “Try a different question”)
As if the capitalists would show such restraint
I can’t ask ChatGPT myself cause I’m not giving them my damn phone number, but I wonder what it would say when asked “Is Joe Biden pragmatic?”
