For interested people you can download an archive of the subreddit here It is in sqlite format and contains all submissions and comments dating back to 2019. I update it on Sunday although it is currently a bit behind. Be warned it’s a big file.
A part of me is disgusted with myself that my first response to news of a new atrocity in Ukraine is that it’s probably a false flag, but once again it’s looking that way. I’m expected to believe that Russia not only shot a cruise missile at a random train carrying refugees, but that they shot a Soviet era munition that’s only used by Ukraine? And this is not even a week after the Bucha massacre which they’re also being blamed for? I guess Ukraine is just going to keep killing their own civilians until Nato gets involved.
It´s a shitshow. Like, Russia has a plan to follow. Why would they start killing random civilians ( in the thousands if you believe all the statements)?
I too struggle with this. I don’t want to insult possible thousands of dead civilians but I also don’t want to blindly follow whatever the Western media report about this.
Why would they start killing random civilians
It makes sense if you approach it from the average western Joe’s viewpoint: “Putin is basically a Bond movie villain, they do this kinda stuff”. Doesn’t even have to be full-blown anti-Russian racism (you know the type). Hell, I’ve seen a conspiracy theory floating around that “Putin is terminally ill and wants to go out with a bang”. That is the level of discussion we are dealing with here.
Putin must harvest increasing amounts of adrenochrome to stave off death from old age—69,420 years old to be precise. As a specter of evil he has haunted history, consuming for his survival. Stalin? Putin. Hong Xiuquan? Putin. General Sherman? Putin. Robespierre? Putin. Cortés? Putin. Genghis Khan? Putin. Cain? Putin. Ectecetra, all the way back to the first Denisovan that invented proto-Afro-Altaic in order to give commands to death squads that genocided Homo floresiensis.
Isn’t Sherman actually quite popular in the USA?
Ironically the “Putin is dying” people are the same ones who rabidly rebut any claim that Joe Biden has pudding for brains and is obviously sundowning.
At least the state media of my home country are sort of toning down the Russia blaming of these attack for the moment. They report it as that they do not know yet where these missles came from. It’s something I guess.
Communism will win.
Heres hopeing
Hello friends
Hiiiii!
Babe wake up, new Russian warcrime just dropped.
On a serious note, this information warfare is doing my head in.
Just saw a statement by an Ukrainian mayor who claimed 700+ deaths in his town. They found a few bodies but he added that everyone within a 50 meter radius from a bomb just evaporated. Lol.
Fr, seeing my family believe all of it is disheartening.
yeah, its really fucking with me :(
What’s everyone planning on doing this weekend?
Tomorrow I need to work on finishing a course on mental illness I’m going to teach. Sunday will be a warm day so I might go for a hike in nature or chill in a park or something.
Don’t forget to take some rest for your mental health comrades.
Getting a fuckton of bags of composted manure and topsoil, assuming the weather holds. My garden box always produces fair well, but it’s been a couple years since installation and we’ve gone a couple years now without refreshing nutrients and retilling the soil. It’s about time to put down more cannabis.
Getting wings with some friends tomorrow. On Sunday I’m hoping to pull some weeds from my yard.
Thatcher throws herself into a lava lake in hell in an attempt to drown out the music.
But the devil cranks that shit up in order to punish her for trying to steal his position.
A fascist worked out today, did you?
Yes and I’m sore as hell now

Hopefully, Spain. But that’s just wishful thinking on my part
Does anybody have any good read on how democracy in China works?
Some resources:
- Is China a democracy?
- Workplace democracy in action in the CPC.
- What kind of democracy does China have, and how is it different from the west?
- In contrast to low US political approval ratings, 96% of Chinese are satisfied with the national government (Edelmans 2016). World Values Surveys says that 83% think the country is run for their benefit rather than for the benefit of special groups. A Harvard research center study of long-term public opinion survey finds that > 95% of Chinese citizens approved their government. How is this possible in a one-party state? (TED talk by Eric X Li)
- How does China’s political system work?
- How are Chinese leaders elected / chosen? How meristocratic is the system? How do elections differ from those in western bourgeois democracies?
- Who runs China? Makeup of the national people’s congress.
Thanks, there’s a lot I didn’t know.
