Huh, so Jesus was crucified in the pokemon universe. I wonder if one helped the Romans do it.

Age is a key concern — the average person in Ukraine’s military is 45. Of about 30 infantry troops in a unit, said the deputy commander of the 72nd brigade, on average half were in their mid-40s, only five were under 30 and the rest were 50 or older.

“Some of them don’t even know how to hold their rifles. They peel more potatoes than they shoot bullets,” he said, adding that he had bought paintball equipment to replace rifles and live rounds so that new recruits could get more practice without wasting precious ammunition.

Let’s throw them another billionty million dollars. Maybe their Operation Barbarossa veterans will be able to finish the job and be in Moscow by winter.

I refuse to believe medieval people could build cathedrals. They lacked modern tools for such precise masonry and glasswork.

This wouldn’t be unusual — it’s what happened in the run-up to the post-9/11 Iraq war, when American and British media were arguably far too unquestioning of Western officials’ claims that Saddam Hussein was awfully close to having a nuclear bomb or had a huge stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.

There was then British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s “dodgy dossier” and U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell’s defining speech at the U.N. Security Council, where the formerly staunch critic of intervention announced Washington had solid evidence of sophisticated and illicit Iraqi weapons programs. But there was insufficient media skepticism overall, and alternative voices and awkward questions were all too often crowded out.

Unfortunately, it seems we’re now in danger of repeating this very same mistake, as we all too quickly dub those who question current Western strategy as defeatists or accuse them of advancing Russian propaganda.

Now even “lefties” in the west don’t blink an eye at this type of extremist in Ukraine.

The left has been correctly assessing this war since Euromaidan. There’s a reason the only figure from the entire conflict unironically embraced by us is wishing Lenin would shoot everyone around him. We don’t blink an eye at this kind of extremist because it’s so incredibly mild compared to what we know from Ukrainian extremism and something we’ve been predicting since 2022. Fascism is capitalism in decay and this war is the result of capitalism in decay.

Liberals are the only ones who have been blind to any of it and it’s because the most progressive social democrat is the most moderate fascist. They want this as much as they do Gaza. They’ve invited this as they always do historically and are funding it for all the reasons the left has been calling out since the 1970s.

I like the saying “Fahrenheit is what you feel, Celsius is what water feels, and Kelvin is what the universe feels”.

Whomst’ve amongst’ve’us could have predicted that rushing the training of a handful of fighter pilots wouldn’t make a wunderwaffe? This wasn’t even lost in combat.

Live Forever As You Are Now but shittier. Controlling a virtual car better mean that they have a proprietary play-to-earn crypto scam where you roleplay as an uber driver.

The point is to bait lawsuits from people righteously hitting them and the city removing them.

In Marxism, the base (material/economic conditions) is what the superstructure (social/cultural/political conditions) is generated by. Societies organise themselves around the resources available and the division of labour required to utilise them. Marxism’s social observations are all rooted in that mediation of the material environment.
