i will never forget when prince philip and queen elizabeth died and the bbc started reporting on “their great grandmother”. i thought it was a typo at first

it’s actually even worse than that. he didn’t say the eu does nothing, he said nato does nothing. now we have canadians showing off their collection of baby skulls on reddit

that’s because lenin lived in a time when power had not yet coalesced into a single empire. he lived in a multipolar world. one of those poles was the russian empire. note how china did not practice revolutionary defeatism against japan. it was not in the cpc’s interests for japan to defeat the kmt. it was in the bolsheviks’ interests for germany to defeat the russian empire.

is imperialism a necessary precondition for a fiat system to flourish? in the other thread i put a quote from capital that seems to suggest it is, and i suspect that isn’t wrong. for a country to leave the gold standard, it seems to me it would be necessary for it to have a reasonably-sized sphere of influence such that its currency doesn’t immediately become worthless abroad. maybe it could move gold reserves into the hands of consumers or of importers, but at that point it would probably end up making its own money obsolete. relatedly, is it accurate to say bretton-woods replaced the gold standard with the dollar standard? that is, with all or most nations holding dollar reserves, has the labor-value of the miner been replaced in money by the labor value of the entire usamerican proletariat, plus debt owed to the united states by foreign nations? or am i misunderstanding the source of the value of fiat money?

it is not that deep lmao cheating in video games is always okay if it’s funny

not to get too political on hexbear dot net but the hans niemann buttplug scandal was objectively hilarious and i would hate to find out it didn’t happen and was just a joke from a reddit comment

i guess you’re living about 30 years in the future

i see. does that meaningfully reduce the amount you use nat64? i ask because for me, most things go through dns anyway

that is why they call it liberalism. obviously you can’t build a society on just “everybody should just do whatever” but that is the core belief that liberalism is named after

i would think in a communist space it would be a given that people hate the industry, not the workers. “sex work is work” is a slogan that’s usually used to endorse the industry, e.g. when hasan piker went on twitter to brag about being a sex tourist in germany

i guess i didn’t take it that way. op doesn’t say anything about not fighting back, they just don’t say explicitly that they will
