Shitty “scientist” with a failed career turned into a youtube grifter. It’s no surprise her main selling points are bigotry against trans people and those on the autism spectrum, and this… braindead drivel.

I’m something of a breakcore fan myself, I can’t say there aren’t individualists amongst the fans or artists, of course, but it’s like more genres in that regard. (Also depends on what you mean by breakcore I think cause there’s quite the dispute between oldschool breakcore fans - stuff like Venetian Snares, Alec Empire’s “The Destroyer”, etc. - and new music being labelled ‘breakcore’ but which is mostly kinda shitty drum’n’bass with creepy anime cover art).

Christian Contemporary - in whatever flavour. I don’t have much fondness for the church as it is and they manage to make something that’s even worse than Christian Rock which, to quote Comrade Hill: “You’re not making Christianity better you’re just making rock and roll worse.”

Oh… maybe Martial Industrial or Neo-folk. Both of which are fucking teeming with fascists, or “apoliteic” bands. Pretty much everyone you look at in either genre is gonna be quoting Ernst Jünger and Julius Evola, amongst other more obscure fascist or fascist-adjacent ideologues. They have this romantic notion of ‘Europa’, free from the decadence of liberal democracy and multiculturalism - they’re unironic ‘RETVRN’ types.

Only 2? There’s at least hardcore techno and hardcore punk too, and all the “-core” genres that spawn from them

Yes, the following line is ‘to hell with Spain’ I believe, it was used as a cassus belli to start the Spanish-American war in which y’all took over Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines and practically took over Cuba, although Cuba was technically made independent.

Remember the Maine!

(this goes back waaaaaaaay before ww2)

There were also superstitions about February - due to its role as a time for ritual purification and cleansing, that made them reticent to add days to it, so it stayed at the bare 28

Hmm, anyone remember what the title of the first Metallica album was? I feel like it’s relevant to these gentlemen.

The Ukraine’s (and the west’s) demands are utterly insane, but others have addressed that better. Just gonna nitpick that the USSR only put missiles in Cuba as a response to the US having stationed missiles in Turkey, right on the Soviet’s doorstep. It should be called the ‘Turkish Missile Crisis’ or the ‘NATO Missile Crisis’ - it’s always the US starting this shit and then, like an abusive partner, gaslighting the world into accepting their narrative, painting themselves as the victim when they’re the aggressor.

ok, but those European countries have never been libertarian, neoliberal in recent years sure, but that’s been the point where things went to shit. If they wanted to copy our ‘success’, they should look at our social-democratic period where the bourgeoisie were willing to pay off the workers (with the scraps of neo-imperialism which obviously is not available to Argentina).

Except that it doesn’t work in the global north and never has. Hell, it has never even been implemented in the way these psychos want, cause even the worst neoliberal inhuman trash understand that these libertarians are deranged idiots.

I wonder if I can finally convince my relatives how serious this shit is, now that it’s affecting them… :(

lol, I never read papers anywhere else for my work. ArXiv may suck if you wanna go looking at random, but it’s invaluable to be able to read the actual legit stuff in preprint form on there.

Lot of Nazi fans popping in from other instances I guess.

The Netherlands, their (conservative) government has collapsed, apparently after having been in power for over a decade.

He’s only obeying his class interests like the bougie arsehole in this thread - ‘muh property’.

Indeed, the strains that want something slightly more realistic (like worker co-ops) are a lot easier to speak to. As you say they tend to lack a practical means of implementing their desired society, or if they have ideas, they seem to just ‘reinvent’ MLism with different terminology (cue the Engels quote).

I’m not even sure we have the same intended long-term goal as them tbh. At least, a lot I’ve come across really seem to think ‘stateless’ means no government, no large scale infrastructure, the old ‘someone will make insulin as a hobby’ meme.

Is this game actually based? Or is it gonna pull a fast one 20 hours in?

If liking communism is too much for communists then they might not be communists…
