Like epic fail as in a pyrrhic victory, or in the mission goal to get rid of them? I honestly don't know that much because I am so distrusting of anything in English about that era of Mao, yet I know a LOT of mistakes were made and don't know a quality analysis of it.
Crazy how many things are named after metals, just the other day I realized Plumber and the latin word for lead Plumbum were related, and the horrifying tangent being all pipes for most of history were made with lead and thus Plumber is just lead worker, and the title carries that history despite modernly being associated with Mario and more than enough sexual innuendos. Wild.
How does this affect Iran's position against the Empire? I admittedly know little of it's internal politics and I assume Raeisi isn't the strongman glue keeping the anti imperial alignment in working order like Putin, and Iran will still be able to overcome this with comparatively little internal strife to other anti imperialist nations. Such a dumb fucking way to go in a critical time, rest in peace.
False, Pyro is who enbys wanna be but never will
Third time's the charm..
I completely forgot it was April fool's, I was about to start having a jokerfying moment
Harambe apparently means communal labour in Swahili
It's interesting to think about, I believe it stems from whatever perspective of gender roles you grew up in- especially division of chore labour lol- and probably others my ignorant cis ass is unaware of, but you still are affected by how others work within their views so even in a much more fluid upbringing, your immediate community plays a huge role.
Oh I'm fully aware they are frothing fash, but I am pointing to ahem ">ruins leftism (thanks for that one)", like do think they are left or something, even for western standards it reeks of right wing.
EDIT: Oh okay so that wasn't a sarcastic "thanks for that one", just so confused why they would even include if they were complaining "muh trans folk ruining my things", though probably shouldn't be trying to hard to understand the the inconsistency of fascist "arguments". Aye aye aye.
Wait I'm sorry were nerdy leftist spaces never trans spaces? My friend group back in middle school begs to differ
Seriously it's dumb, one of the biggest road blocks to Western leftists in supporting China is the Uyghur Narrative, if they really were fascists why would they be against a settler state genociding a majority muslim population?
Is Chile the best or worst country for high speed rail?
Thing with AI is they don't even need be the ultra intelligent genie in a bottle to have an impact. It's the quantitative potential which will shape the workforce. I'm speaking on behalf of the creatives, can't speak for IT but I assume it's similar.
Sorry I had giant spiel I was working on but honestly it just deserves to be developed further into an essay lol.
I'll just list some points I guess.
-Portfolio based jobs, learn as you go. Professional artists right now with years of work experience should be fine, as the art from ai is just slop once you start paying attention to anything other than just how detailed it is. Symbolism, meaning, telling a story through the scene. Ai can't do composition, let alone that. Not to mention of the greatest parts of art is the human connection, but still drawing/painting/whatever is hard to make accurate. And so can do that, eventually, but it can fit dirt cheap and doesn't strike. Even though beginner artists can do the higher level symbolism and composition, where they fall flat is the detail and AI acts a barrier to entry.
-Smaller artist "start ups" if you will have a horrible selection process with how much ai junk you have to soft through. Ai has totally bloated the portfolio process.
-Most main stream garbage is already recycled so AI isn't even going to change the main stream, but again finding the quality content will be harder and harder.
-Silver lining is petite bourgeois jobs being the creatives and IT (also already left leaning) will finally be losing their special status.
-I think in a socialist state AI art could be kept in as a source of raw material for a giant artist organization to train younger artists to work with, so not only are artists elevated to a more abstracted position in the process, but then we won't have AI art clogging up every single space.
Sorry I've been meaning right around this fir a while so this really just acts as a little brain dump. Also ran out of time lol. I'm a goofball.
"@Wisconcom you are very aggressive"
- does this count as broken clock? 😭
THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN XINJIANG THAT CHINA DOESN'T WANT US TO KNOW!!!
Yeah but I remember vividly at a party two libs saying that but then immediately after "but communism doesn't work". Both are die hard "socialists not communists" centrists and one's the pastiest gusano I've ever seen.
WHAAAAAAAT. Okay that's wild, especially considering that I had originally put just Irish but changed it to scots-irish because I thought I was leaving them out 😭 😭 . Please do tell more, and why there's a distinction.
Theory Inquiries for y'all
So as I've had my fair share of a lurking/grass-touching period and my brain being the 3 year old philosopher it is, I have collected questions overtime that I haven't quite be able to fit in anywhere. As they would have no use to me wasting away in a notepad, I decided I would share them with you guys in order to develop opinions. You can answer any or none at all, just releasing the valve so my brain doesn't explode.
-Even though the Scots-Irish are now culturally absorbed into American "Whiteness", is there still a subconscious bias against them/colonial scars?; Of course not the "Irish" politicians and oligarchs, or someone refusing a Big Mac because it was made by a Paddy--the slur, not to be confused with the bun, which is reasonably rejected as that middle bun is but a cosmetic deviation from a McDouble to make you spend more and causes serious TMJ upon unhinging the jaw for consumption-- but the bias against the Scot-Irish in the guise of classism, with treatment of rednecks a
Okay, so how does making a website work?
I've been very curious about it, and I believe there is no better way than to ask you computer geniuses for information.
Anti-Nuclear Trend in the Western Left?
Okay so I was scrolling through the PSL's info page, and it is stated that they are to denuclearize the power grid. Why is this? I was under the impression that Nuclear Energy is the much more sustainable and frankly realistic source of power--even without Molten Salt Reactors and Thorium based ones.
undefined
Im finding it most orgs tend to stay away from Nuclear energy due to fear mongering from fossil fuel industries; Thus its stain in the imperial core, reaching from liberals to western "leftists". But I am surprised the PSL, a radical organization, is anti-nuclear.
FYI this isn't a deal breaker or anything--they seem to be taking the lead for vanguard party--just was curious of the stance on nuclear energy.
I believe there needs to be multiple "debates" on PatSocs
cross-posted from: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/297928
As you have all noticed, this seems to be a point of contention here. This is a good thing, since it means someone will learn something.
Now we seem to be all over the place, with this general area of thought, provoking many questions. Whether or not PatSocs are socially conservative, what is position on social conservatism? Many of us are very young, both in age and ML experience, so an online discussion would be a great learning tool.
- Are socially conservative individuals allowed to be apart of the leftist movement?
- A. Are socially conservative individuals victims of bourgeois propaganda? -B. If socially conservative people are turned away by the left, where do they go? -C. How high of a position would a social conservative be allowed in a ML party? -D. How has or will MLs educate socially conservative folk? -E. &tc, &tc.
- What exactly is Patriotism? -A. Does patriotism depend on culture? -B
Why is Belarus just so quirky and different?
Can you comrades explain why Belarus is not like the other Post-Soviet States?
Potato Buckets!
I have been really into the aspect of growing potatoes in buckets for multiple reasons: For one it seems cheap enough; Secondly the nature of being able to have buckets as a mobilized garden could be great in so many areas. Don’t have the time or energy to cultivate your soil? Bucket. Live in the city surrounded by pavement? Bucket. Are you a renter who can’t grow plants or you don’t even know if you can live there next month, so investing in gardening would be pointless? Bucket. Ever accidentally killed a prominent figure, so you spend your life on the run, moving from country to country never knowing the simple life you once lived but still want to follow your childhood dream of gardening? Bucket.
It seems to be that for one pound of potatoes, you’ll get 7 lbs back. It being a root plant, watch its moisture. Cut a chived(?) potato in half and put charcoal on the wound so it doesn’t rot. What’s y’alls take on this.
Why is Stalin the most demonized?
Okay so I was wondering why Stalin got the most flack of the Cold War propaganda, at least in my experience growing up in the U.S., He's the only Soviet Leader we were "taught" about. Sorry if this is dumb.
