I must not work. Work is the mind-killer. Work is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my work. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the work has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Are you telling me that multiple cameras didn’t just happen to fail at just the right time to miss what happened? What’s next, the two guards who abandoned their posts to take a nap together didn’t just randomly get tired?

“Why do these rich fucking white people always insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of their own self-actualization?”

You joke but I did look it up before. I really would’ve preferred to use the 1852 election because the Whigs were still a thing, less antislavery than the Republicans (and funnier), and Franklin Pierce was worse than Buchanan. But the only election after Harper’s Ferry was Lincoln’s, so I reduced the anachronism as much as I could, and tried to make the Buchanan thing tied to the general abolitionist movement as opposed to the raid.

I’ll just call it… artistic licence

Holy shit, thanks. I’m so proud!

And that’s why I didn’t want to bother making a whole account.

At least a mod saw it lol

I was gonna but I haven’t logged into for years and I think I lost access to my account and I don’t really want to make a new one. Anyone who can is welcome to do it.

There is a 'don’t ’ in the sixth paragraph which should be ‘do not’ and therefore isn’t funny.

Of course! Why else would it be called, “Mandatory Palestine?”

Here you go

: Here’s what we believe and why we believe it.

: LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU

: I don’t understand why Hexbear believes the things they do, can someone explain? Is it because [thing I pulled out of my ass]?

: Partially, but it’s mostly because [other stuff pulled out of an ass]

None of them actually give half a shit about understanding anything, or else they’d ask us, they just want to circlejerk and invent random bullshit to attack us with.

I had the same thought but I was thinking of making it about slavery/abolitionists, I might make it after work.

1. The Soviet Union should’ve done more to export the revolution to other countries

2. Because they didn’t do this, the Soviet Union betrayed the revolution

3. Because they betrayed the revolution, they were basically the worst thing ever, worse even than capitalist countries like the US

4. Because the US is the lesser evil, it should export the revolution freedom and democracy to other countries.

Trotskyists just want to invade countries and call it liberation, it’s really a short jump into becoming neocos imo.

A POWER-hungry scientist and an evil dictator bidding to create a super-soldier using humans and apes sounds like the stuff of science fiction.

When his project failed, Ivanov was arrested in 1930. He became one of millions rounded up by paranoid Stalin and died in a labour camp in 1932.

Can’t even create human-ape hybrids without the commissar coming after you, that’s just life under totalitarian communism

They did also use grenades.

One of the organization’s founders later said she felt like they turned to these international terror attacks because the left’s lack of success domestically made them feel desperate, and that as radical students they probably should’ve just gone back home to their communities and advocated for their beliefs. The classic, “I’m ready to die for the revolution! But talking to people? No thanks!”

Good to know. I just learned about it today, mostly from NATOpedia.

Well, you got #2 right at least! But way too limited in scope. The sun never sets on the set of countries involved in this, lol.

The theoretical roots of the US political divide goes back to: “We should kill all the natives because they’re racially inferior” vs “As a progressive, the natives are only culturally inferior, and if we destroy their culture and force them to adopt ours at gunpoint, we can make them civilized.” Underneath it all, that’s who they each are.

For instance, the existence of japanese technical schools in China is irrefutable evidence to these people that there’s some sort of Japanese Great Replacement plan to… replace Chinese people with Japanese people?

Wouldn’t this require Japanese people to have kids?
