Holy hell what a masterpiece! Cameron fucking did it again.
I don't even know what to say. I just came home from the movie theater and I'm still shaking.
Also, Varang is easily waifu of the year. Stole every scene she appeared in. I am legitimately sad I'll never have a 4 meter tall, lanky pyromaniac girlfriend to make homemade flamethrowers with ;_;
Isn't this close to what maoists are talking about when they mention New Democracy in the global south?
As in, much of the national ruling class in the south are basically just middlemen for western capital, so even though they benefit greatly from that arrangement, the southern elite don't have any independence to act in their own interests to the extent their western can.
So, they ally with the leftist from a nationalist and liberatory perspective, which can easily overlap with the working class and peasants.
In the west, such a class collaboration would just become fascism or coopted by the ruling class, but since the southern elite can't act in their elite class interests, they find themselves closer aligned with the workers.
Or am I completely wrong? I think ive read this in Eruptions And Continuity or whatever that book was called many years ago.
Protip: ALWAYS LIE ON YOUR CV
You studied history? No you didn't. Just say you have a PhD in some hyper-niche STEM field. You generally don't get background checked for most normal jobs, unless your workplace is in a place that requires extra security, like airports, health sector or finance.
And even if you get the job and they discover you faked your CV and they decide to call the police, the cops usually don't want to waste time and manpower on such worthless cases and will throw it out immediately.
Lying is cool and based
I've thought about it a lot, and I'm almost confident enough to try to make a prediction. Keep in mind, I'm not a guy you should take predictions from.
In the liberal worldview, Ukraine doesn't actually exist. Like so many other things in the liberal (as in, pro-capitalism) mind, things like Ukraine occupy the same network of hollow symbols and concepts that only gets invoked to Argue about and obsess over.
Similar symbols in these networks are undefinable and hollow concepts like "freedom" "liberty" "freedom of speech" and so on.
It's not a war to them. Not really, it's a spectacle to observe, with narratives and thunderous rhetoric of "victory" and "bravery" and the best thing about the symbolic Ukraine is, that's all it requires of you. Watching it, like a TV show and gush over your favourite characters like zelinski, putin or Ivana Jagoff.
Even if the actual, real life Ukraine were to fall, it wouldn't register as a defeat, because that's incompatible with the symbol of Ukraine and the virtues assigned to it.
"Ukraine" if totally defeated, would still exist as a symbol of bravery and victory to these delusional libs, even as the surviving nazi mercenaries go amok and start terrorcampaigns all over europe as revenge for getting "stabbed in the back."
Norwegian janitor here. I can afford healthcare, but not a family.
Man, I'm considering unsubscribing from Trashfuture. They've really lost their magic lately.
The Boney Island series really cemented just how awful they've become. Literally half of the first episode is just the hosts casually talking about what they had for breakfast. I thought it was a bit, but no, they really thought wasting most of the episode by being completely off topic and not even trying to entertain was a good idea. The rest is just as unlistenable and boring. Who even remembers the old-ass tv show Bones? It had zero cultural impact and no one i know has ever even heard of it.
The main show has also lost its magic. Why are they so obsessed with former new York mayor Eric Adams? He's not even relevant anymore. It's also hard to even care about some yank politician from a different continent.
Maybe I'll try subbing to scroungers instead. TF has lost their touch.
Every day I grow firmer in my belief that the internet was a mistake.
I do. I never shit at home. Always on the job, and always at least half an hour every time.
Sometimes I chug a glass of full cream just to be certain my lactose intolerant ass will annihilate that toilet for at least an hour. It also gives me an excuse to leave early when I'm pale as a ghost and looking like I'm six months pregnant from all the gas in my guts.
I've reclaimed so much surplus value, im considering buying a fucking kayak or something, even though I don't need one.
