Saying the truth about Ukraine is bannable, so take that as you will.

There’s more but I don’t think you actually care.

Why do people on ml love regurgitating russian propaganda?

Why do alleged communists love authoritarians?

I guess there’s a disconnect on what Marx actually thought and what they believe then, as op has pointed out. And the whole Russia China north Korea thing.

The 48k is just the number of families who actually submitted to find out what happened to the missing soldier. There are probably more unconfirmed dead that haven’t had a submission made, and many more confirmed dead, and many many more just injured. The Ukrainians are claiming over 700k dead and wounded, and historically their numbers have been pretty accurate.

You can’t just claim ownership of all communism and claim everyone falls under the ML umbrella, especially when MLs support dictatorial regimes that are antithetical to communism.

I’d agree the MLs aren’t Marxist. I don’t think a Marxist would unironically stan China Russia and north Korea.

My biggest issue was the deus ex machina solution. Oh cool, you can magically do whatever you want as long as you imagine it hard enough, and oh look ender has a magical super ai because he’s ender goddamn main character syndrome wiggin. Literally every plot line solved.

Also ender is a pretty terrible character. Probably as bad as Bella, even.

Escalated? Oh do tell me how exactly that’s going to work. We’re already at a full scale invasion with nearly a million casualties. What, are they going to invade harder? Fuck off, spew russian propaganda elsewhere. If you need help grasping the concept, here’s a handy chart.

I guess Elon is gone then.

Children of the mind by Orson Scott card. I actually powered through xenocide even though it was awful, but lost all hope by the next book.

It’s been so long but I don’t think they were terribly written. I mean the characters are trash and Bella is a dumb bitch, but I wasn’t frustrated enough to actually stop reading. I’ve only put down one book for good so maybe I’m not the best measure to judge by, though.

Yup. Manual detonation too. Blew up 3 feet from him.

I love how they just smash “-ies” onto any word. I started using “sunnies” for sunglasses after hanging out with a few aussies.

We DO NOT want Indians remote driving cars in America holy shit.

I couldn’t even. Watching this shoet video convinced me to carry a bat if I ever rode a bike in the city. Just smash any vehicle in my way.

Hasan has been on the “hezbollah good” train for while.

It’s still pretty significant. It means a lot of Republicans basically got a 10% pay cut overnight.

Identify as straight. F1nn5ter could absolutely get it.

They do this in John wick but it still strains suspension of disbelief when you realize most of the events of the first two movies take place in like 2 or 3 days. Nobody survives that shit, I don’t care how droopy your breasts are.
