I have a trauma-based personality disorder, which sometimes manifests itself in episodes of often uncontrollable bouts of verbal violence. I prefer to direct this to people on the internet (as opposed to actual people), as I don't wish to be violent towards people I actually care about.

  • Techno-feudalism: We own nothing and just pay rent to billionaires

    Jump

  • It's good that people more broadly, especially in the imperial core, are starting to question the "truths" about the world and its ways they are taught. But I'm annoyed with the general usage of these terms like "techno-feudalism", when capitalism and especially imperialism would work better, wouldn't it? Everything must serve the capital, after all, and the internet in general - being probably the most significant invention in human history after using fire or something and having been developed to this point and made available globally in an astoundingly short amount of time - is poised perfectly for everyone to witness its decline under imperialism. So using "techno-feudalism" for this is understandable, but in the end it's just the most recent and visible symptom of capitalism in general.

  • The EU has a 'plan' to save regions on Russia’s doorstep from economic malaise

    Jump

  • Well, as a local of one of the countries mentioned I can tell you that most of the eastern border area is already incredibly sparsely populated. There are a few towns here and there among the over 1000 kilometres of forest, but most young people will be itching to leave those backwaters and move to the few bigger cities closer to the coast, same as elsewhere nationwide. Add to this the governments constant efforts to save money by cutting on essential services (hospitals and schools basically) in sparsely populated areas. So if no Euromoney will be coming our government's way there will be no one but old people anywhere near the border in the near future.

  • Is Rammstein's "Du Hast" really not about German reunification?

    Jump

  • Related to political lyrics, their song "Links, 2, 3, 4" has the line

    Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck, doch seh ich dann nach unten weg, da schlägt es links, links, links

    a translation of which goes

    You want my heart to be on the right, but when I look down I see it beats on the left, left, left

    "Links, zwo, drei, vier" is just a standard army march "left, two, three, four". All in all, I wouldn't be suprised if there was at least an alternate meaning there in Du Hast.

  • love to see it

  • Fell for it again

    Jump

  • Hey don't worry, I fell for that one initially. Took until Oct 7 until I really started seeing through it all if you will.

    Ukraine is kinda close-by geographically, and geopolitically we "share the enemy" because we had ties with the nazis during WWII, and the Soviets invaded in ’39 to secure St. Petersburg (then known as Leningrad) from a joint Axis attack from the north along the Karelian isthmus.

    Of course people don't care to remember that we did eventually invade back into Soviet territory (further than previous borders) during Operation Barbarossa, which included a joint attack and eventual siege of Leningrad (I've heard tell that it was our own marshall Mannerheim who decided that bombing the ice road across lake Ladoga and thus condemning the people there to starvation was a reasonable thing to do, but then again we also had concentration camps back then far the Karelians so I guess they just actually were really fucking racist)

    But even the fact that the chairman or whatever of my country's most popular far-right political party went to address the Ukraine parliament, speaking himself Ukrainian for some reason, didn't straight away make me question the narrative.

  • Did Simo Häyhä actually have over 500 confirmed kills?

    Jump

  • I don't think it can be known now more than 85 years after-the-fact. Byt Häyhä was a good shot with a rifle and also a squad leader issued with a submachine gun, using the Suomi KP/-31 with a firerate of 750-900 rounds a minute would rip an enemy to shreds in suitable ranges. So a combination of fact and fiction (propaganda) will lead to such a number. I personally am not sure if I believe everything they tell us.

  • Ugh I can't believe my big city corporate job is making me work on Christmas, I have to go to my hometown of Christmasville to shut down a muffin shop.

    Jump

  • Cut to a flasback sequence where it is revealed that this is all a psyop by Big Muffin to make hunky husband's muffin shop too overpriced to exist and to install a new McMuffin's to this rural town once all competition is eliminated by ways of lobbyists and capitalists. The sequence ends, cut to black.

  • Why do you personally hate Christmas?

    Jump

  • Well, it's the darkness that comes living near the arctic circle, that shit makes me question my will to live every year by itself. Thankfully we are not on the northern side, meaning that we get that sweet 4-6 hours of daylight this time of year before the sun sets again.

    The christmas stuff starts creeping in to the stores before Halloween, even though Halloween isn't something that's a familiar celebration around here (but we're a good little vassal state apparently, so whatever). And after that's over with it's just more and increasing amounts of christmas stuff. I hate it, it's just worthless plastic waste that costs an inordinate amount of money because of reasons.

    The music that plays on every radiostation and in every store at every time. All the songs are usually just translations of Usian shit jingles, all of which are way too cheerful and really way too fucking American for my taste, and those few that aren't are just straight up hymns and/or psalms and I really don't vibe with any amount of religiosity.

    It's a time for family, they say, which to me seems to be a way of guilt tripping me to visit people who stress me most, but feel bad when I immidiately want to leave and just go home.

    There is a memory of a christmas here, some kind of an idea. But when I see the soulless eyes of plastic reindeer and hear the cheerless and lifeless jingle of plastic bells in the store where I (and WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE at THE SAME TIME) am franticly trying to find everything that everyone tells me that I need to buy in order to have a merry christmas, I realize that it's simply not there. It doesn't exist. Maybe it never did.

    I look outside, and instead of the half a meter of snow I remember having fallen by this time of the year in my childhood I usually see a fucking puddle.

    Thanks capitalism, you really do ruin everything for the rest of us, don't you? Yeah you do.

  • Chat Control: EU Council vote is a Green Light for Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance and the End of Right to Communicate Anonymously

    Jump

  • Seconding this, I don't think it ever even could have gone the other way. In the end the EU (and all its members) is just another bourgeois state with the same flaws as any other, economically and politically beholden to the will of US's imperialism and capital.

  • Thank you, I try my best. Not everyone gets the chance to go the same therapy I did, parts of which should really, really be in public school curriculum, and universally taught to parents to teach to their kids. But alas, it is not.

  • General Discussion Thread - Juche 114, Week 43

    Jump

  • I feel like my friend (one of my oldest and dearest both in general and in the city I live in) is making great and visible progress in his recovery from mental health and substance abuse problems, and I can't help but feel somewhat proud of myself too because I had been going through the same process a few years ago and have been helping him along with my own experiences of the same issues as a paraller and my experience in therapy on handling the emotional side of things as guide.

    This same friend also agreed to join me and my partner tomorrow as our nation's president is coming to our city to gloat over his peasants to ask him about our nation's business with Israel, last time he was asked about this the journalist was stopped by his stooges and apprehended by cops on account of "seeming like a threat".

    Also ngl, seeing how much Mamdami is pushing ahead in New York is giving me hope. Not hope of him like single-handedly bringing about the revolution, but more hope for humanity, you know. When a person can communicate the issues with capitalism clearly for the current audience none of the proletariat can disagree, even those with years of western propaganda over their eyes. And also seeing him stay resolute on issues, and not falling for the usual rhetorical traps that policians use there has been refreshing.

    All in all life seems good despite everything that's going on.

  • i've heard talk that it would be completely unfeasable for the US to ever upgrade its rare earth refining infra to a level where they could compete with the prices that China offers for it's refined products. i haven't researched this claim (which admittedly i heard from a Hasanabi video), so i wonder if it's true at all?

  • Why do so many people like Taylor Swift?

    Jump

  • Probably a multifaceted reason, but I think some parts are the universality of her lyrical themes of heartbreak and loss of love, and finding new love and the hope it brings – which I feel she can now wrap in multiple layers of cryptology and her fans would still deduce who and what the lyrics are referencing (and I think a part of fans love doing this). Plus her music is easy listening, ranging from country to pop. Also there is sense of female empowerement from her struggle to acquire the rights to her own works.
