Cue the Road Warrior intro

their leaders talked and talked and talked

but nothing could stem the avalanche

their world crumbled

The rocket is just the engine that propels the missile.

That’s a bizarre theory, I can’t imagine two ideologies being more dramatically different than anarchy and monarchy

Not just tankie but in denial tankie

It’s called Campism. They take the side of anyone opposing the US even if those countries are objectively shit. It’d be one thing if they had a “the enemy of my enemy” attitude but they go full apologist instead. Russia has a Far Right nationalist government run by a dictator with a Far Right Ultra Nationalist powerbase but people will pretend they are the spitting image of Leftism in a way that even the USSR was not.

There’s alot of potential for the US to betray NATO by sharing intelligence and Troop positions/movements with Russia

“The Ukraine” is just a linguistic quirk of English because we say “The US” and “The UK” and “The UAE” and “The USSR”. If Ukraine started with any other letters than “Uk” it never would have been a thing. People injecting a bunch of meaning into it ala “that implies Ukraine is just a region not a country” are just wrong.

I mean, even Russian meddling aside the Left has always been rife with Campism and MLs in denial about the USSR. Putin’s powerbase is Far Right Ultra Nationalists and some communists still support Russia because “the communist party is still popular there”.

I like moving towards a stateless classless future but I’m not so naive as to deny that Russia is actively pursuing Nationalist conquest and directly opposed to a stateless classless future

Even before that was a possibility, Tesla was worth way more than the fundamentals suggested it should be.

Tesla has always been more hype that substance. Use Toyota as an example. Toyota has significantly higher income, profits, assets, equity, cars sold etc (it’s not even close) but even right now Tesla has a market cap that is over 5 times higher.

Russia has had diesel shortages for months, that fuel will probably head straight back to Russia.

I got banned from reddit for disagreeing with someone who wished Trump dead. I said I hopped he had a stroke and lived a long miserable life. “Inciting violence”. The guy who wished him dead was not banned.

The problem with Blue No Matter Who is that the corpo dems and AIPAC Dems who coined that phrase didn’t mean the no-matter-who part if it’s progressives or anti-zionists.
