  • Even if settler-colonialism was common throughout the ancient world, that doesn’t excuse it happening today

    It’s important to make a distinction between the “imperialism” of the Roman empire and the 20th century imperialist structure which coalesced in the 20s-60s, likewise we must distinguish between the existence of torture throughout history (often tenuously supported by Victorian hobnobbing and the ability to make a shitty little website that shows up on Google and little else) and the trail of forensic evidence we have stretching back from the SBU’s detention centers where they electrocuted babushkas thru the kidneys (I’m not kidding) all the way to Malaysia

    European colonialism is an entirely new phase of history that began 1000 years ago.















  • Aliens, I saw it before Alien. Parasitism and wanting to escape life through death are interesting concepts. Ultimately I came to my conclusions about suffering and how consciousness repeatedly emerges in the world alone. Still haven’t found anyone who “gets it” but it feels really basic, what I believe. Maybe I’m missing something but it seems kind of childish to fear death the way people do. One of my horrible family members is very decrepit now and everyone is acting like he has to be as selfish and horrible about it as he is but I know I won’t be like that. I wouldn’t be like that, with palliative care and surrounded by loved ones. He’s ungrateful. I hate him. I hope he dies soon. He will.


  • for liberals to attack the actual problems with russian elections, they’d have to use criticisms of democratic countries which would resonate with their own population about where they themselves vote. a total mythology is required to replace actual russian history and current events because reality itself is i guess you could say pretty radicalizing vs information acquired via “economics” and capitalist press
