I sometimes read nothing for months and then binge a 2000-page novel over a single week

Maybe I’m not American enough to understand this, but how does this get bought? How do you store and cool this big-ass jar once you open it, how do you use it up without getting sick of the stuff, why wouldn’t you just buy it in a tube or a bottle, and why would anyone spend 20 bucks on a condiment?

I’m not pretending I know anything about working in a factory or a warehouse, but I have done quite a bit of walking recently, and you really feel much, much better if you wear additional pairs of socks especially if the shoes tend to rub against your ankles

In commemoration of the massacre at Tiananmen square on the Fourth of June 1989, I shall now repeat the names of all the brave freedom fighters who died there:

Even if you ignore the unplastered brick wall with the trident hastily slapped on, the uncomfortably tiny glass table without a cloth, the main course being served on a saucer, and the fact that they brought the emissary of their most powerful ally water in plastic bottles and then just left it there, it really speaks to the post-Soviet rebirth of Ukraine’s cultural identity that senior diplomats on state visits are served Italian food

According to Elon Musk in 2016, Space X would have produced an unmanned Mars mission by 2018; and according to him in 2020 there should have been cargo trips in 2022

Hot take: Even at its height at the end of the 1970s, the Warsaw Pact never stood the shadow of a chance against global capital, neither in terms of weaponry, nor economy, nor geographical extent. Stalin’s legacy was snuffed out long before it could create the conditions necessary for the Eastern Bloc to survive through the brunt of imperialism. The US only panicked about the Soviets because they were pint-sized when all of its previous adversaries were microscopic, and the fact that the USSR survived 35 years after destalinisation can only be credited to the remaining embers of Marxism-Leninism, the brilliancy of its workers, and the uncurable malaise of its enemy.

If even the Red Army could defeat your splinter ideology, how do you see it faring against global capital?

It isn’t even bizarre if you consider that every foreign notion that enters the general vicinity of the US is immediately ripped apart and absorbed by a churning maelstrom of confusion and misinformation explicitly designed to prevent the formation of anything resembling coherent political thought. If you want bizarre, look at a Qanon map

Perhaps getting rid of the British to improve our nutritional value wasn’t such a good idea after all

Next up is the lathe, now will Trudeau be smart enough to keep his tie away from it?

It looks somewhat like Taiwan

We should be critically supportive of the TSA, given that it helps accelerate the downfall of the empire by wasting 9.7 billion dollars per year on unfounded paranoia

The only right tank for Ukraine would be a septic tank with David Axe swimming in it

Time, as the negative unity of being outside of itself, is just as thoroughly abstract, ideal being: being which, since it is, is not, and since it is not, is.

Kissinger would be running his mouth discussing the specs, pros and cons of every apparatus that is applied to him while pushing his glasses up the nose and then leak classified floor plans of some Estonian CIA black site on Discord in order to prove his points in real time like a fucking torture otaku

The “control your subjects” quote is not even that far fetched, because in order to perpetuate itself, the capitalist class must adopt its own version of dialectical materialism so that it can learn how to avoid or defeat revolutions and minimise the damage of economic crises on its end.

The problem with learning this capitalist kind of theory is that it limits its user to the portion of history before a successful revolution occurs. It tells them nothing about the culture and the society of the economy that will follow, nor about their own role in it. They will lie awake pondering the simplest question that any proletarian who has read even just a Marxist leaflet could answer, as if it were an indeterminable enigma such as the shape of the universe. Such a theory may be able to teach calm indifference when Marxism teaches horror and revulsion, but it must be silent in the face of existential dread when Marxism begins teaching hope.

You know what, I’m suddenly in the mood for a good joke right now

Every time I read something like this it makes me glad I’m not in the sex/romance game. It’s a jungle out there
