Such a stupid comparison

In this case,Bolsonaro would have been the big bad dictator jailing his opponents,he just sucked at it and failed

Completely different dynamic

Sure,but Lenin didn’t ship oil to the Americans while fighting the whites

Nor did he proceed to win and let the powers of the time run amok in Russia,that came later

I get your point,but is it crazy to say that they could’ve done more? What exactly is worth preserving in a leftist formation if for most of its existence it served as a helper to the US and Israel? Will the Kurds be any freer now? Will having the people who made multiple deals with multiple archduke’s of hell to survive in charge be considered an acceptable price for completely selling out?

After 1990 the US was ascendant,and yet Cuba isn’t a capitalist nation

I get not wanting more war in a place that bled for decades at this point,but cozying up with Turkey’s hand puppet is not a moral move nor a winning move

I find it strange they are so open to collaborating with the Turkish puppet government

And when you keep their track record in mind,it certainly doesn’t paint them in a favourable light

I’m not saying they should begin an all out assault,but such ready cooperation really doesn’t seem like a good or particularly smart thing to do

I really don’t get what is so defensible about this group

Do regular people really give a shit about this though?

Will this change any opinions within her voter base?

I can’t call this convenient arrangement “facing accountability” because you just removed a piece off the board,creating a convenient situation for yourself

All it does is create resentment and create a surge in pro fascist sentiment People love an underdog story,and while this is marginally better than the open cowardice of the Democrats,it’s still not to be praised,for the simple fact that people legitimately believe in the nonsense about how liberal democracy is supposed to function and creating situations where the far right comes out as the underdog does nothing but accelerate fascism

My takeaway is that while this is pleasant in the interim,down the line it does nothing but accelerate the rise of fascism

During the interwar period,the Nazi organization of my country,the Iron Guard,created a cult of martyrdom around those killed by the royal regime or locked up in the jails, and now with the arrest of Georgescu I see this sentiment begin to appear again amongst his followers

This is very much a negative,as this doesn’t mean just the hardline neofascists,no,his coalition is made up of a plethora of disaffected voters,both here and abroad,from disillusioned diasporeans to even Ceausescu nostalgists

During last years elections I opted to not vote, because I thought that neither side needed or deserved my vote,but this time I will vote against the next in line of the fascist movement,Simion, who I think is way more savvy than his predecessor

I will vote with a somewhat progressive,pro vest candidate that actually is the mayor of the capital

And yes,you can grill my ass all you want,but there is no greens or PSL or anything of the sort here,no left alternative at all,so you figure that one out

Sure,get her ass for corruption,but let’s not act like what’s going on in the garden right now is anything but the pruning of less esthetically pleasing branches with rotten fruit on them

What the diligent horticulturalists in Brussels won’t accept though is that these branches carry seed laden fruits that will create a whole new crop of flora once they hit the ground,one far more resilient and ruthless than their plant of origin,that will choke out their little floral arrangements and curated lawns, bringing the true jungle back home

The point is that centrists consolidating power like this isn’t a good sign and that the only reason we’re beginning to see these mechanisms used against the right is because there is no left

What Macron is doing and what happened in my country where the second round was annulled won’t slow down fascism one bit,and will have severe repercussions down the line

Merely going after right wing figureheads and not creating a left populist alternative won’t fix the problem

Don’t get me wrong,I dislike both her and Georgescu,but I would rather not celebrate too loudly if I celebrated along with pro NATO eurolibs, because this ultimately serves only them and it will do nothing to stop the problem

boomtown

That’s what they’ll call the hoovervilles of the 21st century

When you turn on the lights,the roaches scramble

Truly the South Slavs of the Elder Scrolls universe

Ok,then I guess I believe in a soul or something like it apparently

Because I care more about the continuity of my consciousness rather than a data archive existing after my expiration date

Don’t get me wrong,it’s good for future generations to have access to that knowledge,but I can’t help but think that the spark within me that is alive right now would be gone

Hell,no way to know if either of us are wrong,and I do see your point,but I just think that unless you ensure the continuity of consciousness,what you’re gonna get is a new being,very similar to me, but never really “me” so to speak

Also,not to sift through old struggle sessions,but I can’t help but think a certain killer of Kissinger would not look favorably upon that take (or not,never interacted that much with the person)

I’m a bit out of my depth here,but while this sounds like a nice idea and all,how would I get to experience that nice immortality myself? I understand your point about sleep,but at least there you have some continuity,that being that your consciousness exists within your body,whereas a digital copy has little to no continuity with what’s here right now.

I mean,I get why it wouldn’t matter to other people,they’d see no difference,but if I go lights out in the physical world and the copy lives on in some metaverse heaven,how would that have saved me personally? For all intents and purposes what would be out there would be reflection taking my place in the world after I’m gone. A good copy,but for me it’s a copy nonetheless. I mean,it’s great that some copy of me would be existing out there having fun,but it’s not so great for me the human,being dead and all.

Yeah,but a lot of them regret that

Well,like the Ukrainians,the Canadians have a shitload of nazis too,many of them Ukrainian ironically enough

Problem is,the US can’t draw on its historical memory of killing nazis like the remnants of the greatest fascist killing machine,the Soviet Union,can

Holy shit this guy is an actual foreign agent ))))))

Literally imploding America from inside

It’s alright,they don’t attack every night

Also,I’m in vacation for the next three weeks, but after that it’s back to Bucharest for college

Right on the money with the nightmare part,I’ve had them too,but I’ve gotten less panicked when they attack now,I guess I’m used to it

Idk if somethings wrong with me,but I still prefer this place over Bucharest,feels like home,even if my sense of safety in my home is kinda gone

Aah,I thought it would work if I shared the link,ooops

I’ll get to fixing that now

Edit:Try again now

https://tankie.tube/w/8siihQKVs9YmnbtP8ZCKri Ukrainian AA, sound in background is NATO jets flying over the city in case a drone wanders in

Possible,but frankly images have been posted from this place since last year and they haven’t done anything to people I know

I’m also on the NATO side,so it’s somewhat less likely
