Probably related to another variable that influences both gaming time and feminist views, such as age
Cool! For more quotes (in case you wanna browse through them), I can point you to a previous post of mine from which I extracted them
I guess you're being ironic, but just in case you're not: I don't think myself more wise regarding the balance between geopolitics and moral convictions than the ones who saved Europe from fascism.
Smells of Trot propaganda, ngl. AFAIK they're most of the ones who will (reasonably) praise Lenin and the pre-1924 Bolsheviks, and then turn around and stop their materialist analysis and say that the post-1924 vanguard that chose Stalin's "Socialism in One Country" as the route to go were either bamboozled or repressed by this simultaneously stupid and machiavellically smart Georgian Bolshevik veteran. I still haven't heard a coherent response on why the repression of the Makhnovschina and the Kronstadt rebellion were based and good but any form of repression post-1924 is unequivocally evil and stems from personal interests of an upper class of Bonapartist bureaucrats.
That's too nice :) thanks, comrade. Also, I added a new map of majority-ethnicities in Poland in 1931 for further reference
Briefly explaining why the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and the Soviet invasion of Poland were necessary: owning-the-libs edition
I've been listening to Proles Pod, they have a new series of episodes called "The Stalin Eras" which I found extremely good for history of the Soviet Union from 1917 to the end of the Great Patriotic War. Using that as a source and a few other sources, I've compiled some main points regarding the Motherboard-Ribbedcock that dispels the prevalent propaganda that it was a "Soviet-Nazi pact to expand the Soviet Union because they were bad". I've used mostly Wikipedia in the links so you can use it against libs:
1) Most of the invaded "Polish" territories actually belong to modern Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus. In 1919, Poland started the Polish-Ukrainian war and invaded Ukraine, Belarus and part of the RSFSR. This so-called "carving of Poland by the Soviet Union" liberated many formerly oppressed non-Polish national ethnicities such as [Lithuanians in Polish-cont
I don't remember them fabricating a lot of stuff
Remember the spring offensive?
Don't try and bring it up necessarily. People come up with grievances about the reality of capitalism all the time. Empathise with them, and offer them an alternative framework that proves it's not their personal failure that made rent unaffordable, work-life miserable, and the world climate collapse.
Nope, that head is very much not an owl.
Gotcha, I'd just like evidence on xhs being impersonated. Not that I think the post is real, it reads like a bit, just out of certainty, but I see why you dont wanna discuss in public
So, the 9000 words thing is BS?
If you're considering bowmaking, do yourself a favour and watch Dan Santana's YouTube channel. It's not only extremely informative, it's also shot tastefully and beautifully
@[email protected] does this confirm that it's actually xiaohongshu?
Wow, that is one nice workshop. The hello kitty bandsaw is the coolest thing I've seen in a while tbh, gives the shop a lot of personality.
Yeah, regarding space for woodworking, I'm currently making 3 Roman workbenches with removable legs, which will be used for an upcoming project in which I'll teach some buddies how to make a bow out of a (preselected) wooden plank. Ever got into bowmaking?
Been making a low Roman workbench and getting informed about low-cost, low-tech workholding. Above is a system of holes on a bench, together with pegs and wedges, that can be used for holding boards in different positions for planing and for working on the edges. Got the idea from the "Ingenious Mechanicks" book that Rex Krueger recommended on his "workholding on the Roman workbench" video, where it's described as a traditional Estonian carpenter workholding system; and also from a YT channel called "DW Woodworks" who has a video called something like "workholding on the Roman workbench part 2".
The pegs are made out of branches of a local tree they cut down that I partially got home, and the wedges from a reclaimed board I found on my street lmao. Woodworking is FUN. Highly recommend the "woodwork for humans" series of videos by Rex Krueger following your "poor man's carpenter" idea
Oh, a video on Elon?
He's my giantdaddy
Then China qualified Khruschyov as revisionist and started to degrade relations. How is any of this on Stalin?
Stalin abandoned internationalism
it became possible for another nation to take a socialist developmentalist line
Uh... Stalin's USSR was instrumental in the communists winning the civil war in China, and the further development later. At some point, close to 10% of Soviet GDP was aid to China.
The least gay thing is checks notes when it's all muscular men?
I cooked a Russian lib lemmitor regarding the USSR with my alt and thought y'all might be interested. Effort because actually sourced information
Summary China condemned JD Vance on Tuesday for calling Chinese people “peasants” in a Fox News interview, where he said, “To make it a little more crystal clear, we borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture.” The Chinese Foreign Ministry labeled the rem...
I'll link to the comments here but I'll copy-paste them in comment format below in the comments so that it's easier to follow.
ME: quick response to that (was busy with work)
ME: more elaborate response to that (had more time later, actual effort-posting)
THEM: response to my quick response
ME: final response to that response (also effortposting, interesting comment)
Thanks for checking it out. I'm saving this here for reference, because many Russian opposition libs are anticommunist in nature and these are some good responses (IMO) to some of their main points, tha
Shortages of consumer goods in the USSR were mostly a feature, not a bug, and I can convince you
We are all familiar with the image of shortages of goods in the USSR. And I'm not so much talking about the particular breadlines of the late 1980s created by the Perestroika, I'm talking about the occassional lack of access to certain consumer goods. This is very often brandished by libs as a weapon against communism or against economic planning vs markets. But what if I told you that, for the most part, this was not just intentional, but I can convince you that it was desirable?
To explain this, I need to introduce a concept: surplus economies (like the USA), and shortage economies (like the USSR). In surplus economies, like most modern capitalist countries, the total amount of goods and services produced is determined by the laws of supply and demand. Opening up a business in a sector of the economy where the demand is stronger than the supply will always ensure profit, which leads to most sectors of the economy being dominated by excessive production, i.e, companies produce more t
