I thought that the libs kept on saying it was the Russians, not the Chinese.

exactly. Trees don't make it impossible, just make it a pain in the ass to get you compared to sleeping on the ground. You aren't moving when you sleep, so intimidation and weapons aren't an option. If there is easier food for these predators, then they'll go for that. If you seem like too much of a pain in the ass compared to what they know are easier options then you are safe from being targeted.

Rogue because they do extra d6 damage every two levels when they backstab people or flank them.

So is he one of those cranks that doesn't believe in "jewish physics" of relativity or quantum physics. Does he also cling onto the idea of luminous ether and odyllic force? Its fun for writing fantasy fiction but actually believing its true is another matter.

The English language is awful at essentially a person to be wrong rather than misunderstand a certain fact. Furthermore the concept of the word wrong has two meanings. One is immorality in general and the other is falsehood in particular. Whenever someone says to someone else "you are wrong", it oversimplifies a conversation in the most anti-intellectual framework possible.

You have stated unsubstantiated claims in favor of the white army.

When it comes to suffrage the socialists wanted all women to vote whereas the nationalists wanted only the "sophisticated" women to vote. link

What of value have you said here or elaborate on the knowlege base for us all? For the good of all of humanity it is good to create common understandings to reduce senseless violence.

I would suggest you to look into dialectical materialism. If you think that we communists don't understand that actions have consequences, please do some research. Someone with the most basic understanding of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis understands that synthesis is the result of a thesis and antithesis interaction. This book is a textbook for a Marxist-Lenninist country you can read

When the CIA provided (and continues to provide) weapons to insurgent groups all over the world, they go to fascists (Ukraine, Argentina), religious theocrats (Mujahadeen), or thugs( MS-13)

I think the more relevant question is if one nation influences another nation's people, does it improve the lives of the influenced nation or deteriorate it?

I understand leaders can make mistakes, but why do you take issue with funding the Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic in particular?

It depends where you go. There are mountain lions in some parts as well. Coyotes and wolves are carnivores as well. Carnivores generally don't go for dangerous prey unless there is nothing else to eat. Just get yourself high enough in the trees where the bears and coyotes can't reach you when you are sleeping. If you are with a group of people closeby, they have enough sense to know that messing with one of you is a death sentence.

Elaborate on what you mean by "fueling a civil war".

[–] relay@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 11 months ago

Fascists don't want whats best for everyone. That is why they need to hide their power level.

If you explain what you mean they'll be like "oh no this person wants society to meet the needs of people instead of the greed of the rich people that are clearly awful for our society." At worst they'll see you as power hungry. Let people see who you are as a decent compassionate individual that is also a communist. People will see that representation and look more into communism.

"About Brandon Lyttle

A basement-dwelling ogre, Brandon's a fan of indie games and slice of life anime. Has too many games and not enough time."

I never understood being proud of this kind of thing.

I suspect it could be a combination of entitlement to women's bodies, the objectification of women in general. Alot of patriarchal cultures indicate that you aren't truly a man until you have sex with a woman. This can lead to some people to take terrible methods like rohypnol. Other people might just have spite towards women in general and take it out on them violently. In wars, the demonization of those being occupied gives credence to the acceptability of raping civilian populations.

If it was more commonplace to have less violence and better mental health, maybe that would reduce how common it is among men. Encouraging communication between equals might also prevent accidental rapes by misunderstandings. I don't know to what extent making people miserable is dopamine producing is entirely environmental, but people with those kind of chemical pathways can go down that path just because it hurts people.

 

My question is related to this video.

I'm a first worlder living in the imperial core.

I've developed some internal theory to do some praxis for the movement, but I find it so hard to move forward due to intrusive thoughts on how complacent my useless coworkers are. They are the productive part of the company and joke about unionizing because they are noticing their increased exploitation, but they won't do it. They also make fun of trans people and blame racial minorities for their criminalization in the "personal responsibility" kind of manner. Any means of trying to reason with them goes in one ear and out the other. I loathe being around them, but I have difficulty getting around thought spirals and ruminations around them. I've given up hope of doing anything meaningful with these losers than help each other collect a paycheck. I have no means of getting them fired, don't want to give out too much info. I stick around because I can collect a paycheck with minimal oversight.

I'm disturbed by so many people's use of the phrase "it is what it is" around the rot of the social services of this country that is clearly going against their own interest. It seems nonsensical to me that so many people laugh and are complacent in the destruction around them because they are temporarily isolated from it.

I want to do some praxis but I'm just too enraged and depressed being surrounded by these people that love their bigotry but would hate to do anything to liberate themselves. How would you suggest containing my rage filled ruminations appropriately so that I can perform my praxis?

 

I do admit that I think how social media works is to presume anything you hear on facebook or shitter as false unless proven otherwise.

Does anyone here think they have a good heuristic to determine if anything on a social media website is true? Can we progress dialectically towards the truth with social media or does the system motivate liars to double down on falsehoods? If it were possible for us to own social media can social media be made to encourage truth telling and punish liars?

 

Planet With is only 12 episodes long, reminds me of Gurren Lagaan, but has 3 factions with 3 philosophies instead of 2. Unlike many other anime nowadays it is wrapped up at the end pretty well.
