The nobility was supposed to be the military class under feudalism. It became less and less able to actually go to war as feudal contradiction progressed, but originally the lord was supposed to be the one "protecting" the peasants

the whole fun of art is the process and bringing everything together. knowing you saw some shit in your head and created it. what satisfaction could ai “art” bring its “creators”

My theory: The treatlerite gaming brain is so used to instantaneous gratification that the mere act of prompting and choosing is subjectively understood as a creative process. People who are used to patiently creating great things quickly get bored with prompting, but people who have been robbed all their creative potential by education and consumerism get addicted to it because for once it makes them feel like they are doing something. As usual, the proomter is a product of alienation from creative labor

Uh, Europe is cringe but I swear when I look at bugerland media about education I'm really glad I was born here and not there.

However I totally agree with the second part of your statement. Even if Europeans are better educated we're still full of fascist brainworms and deep rooted colonial ideology, so one can't blame the lack of education for that.

Wait that's not a universal experience? I have ADD with no H and I experience this regularly but I thought most people had this

 

Honestly I'm a lot too cowardly to do this, I just have this massive curiosity urge (yknow, autism does that) and search engines are completely useless at this. I don't wanna get banned from any Minecraft servers.

I presume there are obscure communities of people who have experience getting into the theme parks without paying any Minecoins. Some kind of hacker forums maybe? (cheating is bad!). People who discuss how not to get caught by the Piglins, who warn others on rookie mistakes and track cases of players getting caught.

I was wandering if you people of anarchistic tendencies anarxi would know anything about where to find those discussions and read stories of people who do that

 

I don't know what I should tell him honestly. Like, sure man the media is lying about a lot things especially Ukraine but... I mean they are being invaded. He said everyone is working and living their lives. Like, dude what did you expect?? Yeah civils will still live their lives, reality didn't just become some video game where everybody shoots 40 enemies before lunch. Yeah if you're far enough you're not going to get bombed... I guess? And like, you're not Ukrainian but if you were they would probably have got you enlisted to go fight, your experience would've been radically different...

He was always a wierdo crypto-rightwing bro so I don't even know what he's trying to say here. Like, he could totally be accused of shilling for Russia. Saying western media is lying in a country where the government are pro-west extremists, denying that the war is a big thing to a martial law nationalist regime is kind of insane.

Oh, and, he wants to move there now

I'm not kidding. Urban areas with a high density of population are always more left-wing than rural areas. Lonely losers are the ones who become incels/groypers and shit. Workers who worked in small businesses with few colleagues were the most likely to support the literal NSDAP in the 30's. The more people you talk to the more likely you are you support left-wing ideas. I just have to make a shit ton of friends and the revolutionary spirit will bring about communism. Wish me luck comrades. Also logout gunpoint-alt

 

It's a book called Les Guerriers de l'Hiver (Winter Warriors) by Olivier Norek who was a cop before he started writing fiction.

Apparently his first book was ok. It was about humanising migrants who were stuck at the French border, so I guess he's not a literal racist but rather "rabid liberal sides with nazis when talking WW2"

Nonetheless the book is just glorifying the Finnish and depicting Soviets (well, he calls them "Russians" all the time lmao) as a zombie horde. It's all about how the "White Death" guy was a hero. I randomly opened a page and I kid you not first thing I read was "-Will we be free after that?" "-Well as free as one can be in Russia" agony

Very cool mister anti-racism cop, and thank you to my fellow social democrats for thinking I wanted to read the most clownish anti-soviet propaganda by some lib who's got zero background in History

Follow-up to this thread : https://hexbear.net/post/3488157

Many thanks to everyone who helped me by writing incredible introspective, analytical and supportive things under the first thread. Some of you have been optimistic about the outcome and I'm sorry to tell you that it will not go anywhere. I feel the need to write a post for closure.

The initial situation was that the event we first met at was supposed to take place again at some point. So I thought it would be better to patiently wait so I can naturally get to know her a little more without the inherent intrusiveness of contacting her. I was however informed that this event wouldn't take place.

In two months I had time to stabilise my mood and reflect, but I traded my fiery heart for a depressed brain in the process. I just really needed an update, or the wierd longing would never end. So I concluded I had no choice but to send her a message.

Result : no answer.

So, yeah, looks like it's over fellas. And that's alright, I'm at peace. It's good, I know now, no more longing. I would've preferred if we became friends because she's a very talented and interesting person from what I know, but I'm happy with what I have. Sadness is normal, everything is good, I'm moving on.

The only way it could be worse would be that she's a hexbear I'd be so cooked lmaoooo. (My dear, if you're reading this, please be my Kim, I'll be your Harrier)

 

As a resident of a vassal state I'm locked in a bubble of naïve liberal media coverage treating Democrats as the left. I realised that despite how evident it is for everyone here that the Dems have become increasingly rightwing with Biden and Harris, I've never found a source that bothered demonstrating it by compiling evidence.

Of course search engines are being completely useless at this, just shoveling endless trash from British and US corporate media

 

I'm not sure I should start this conversation and I've been rewriting this a lot lol. But I could use some relating and opinions from fellow internet leftists

Ok so, to keep it really simple: I happened to share a meal with somebody I really liked. I have interacted casually (no flirting) for about a dozen minutes total and we exchanged contact because of shared-interests (not dating)

Now my brain is fried

I'm thinking about her way too much and it gives be bad vibes, she probably has no idea and I can't imagine the sheer horror of realising that someone is thinking this much about you after so little interaction.

I want to be a well-behaved straight (kinda bi but that's beyond the point) guy, I'm trying to be an ally to the feminist cause, so, failing this spectacularly at behaving normally in relation to women disgust me. I know I can't remove the patriarchy from my body but I damn wish I could.
