Found this on Quora, so that tracks.

I think “17th century logistics” is code for having an industrial base big enough to actually produce the weapons you need. Instead of having an economy based solely on magic computer numbers and the power of Francis Fukuyama.

OP has an… interesting name and profile picture.

As well as a post history that looks like it escaped from r/redscarepod.

Okay, what the hell did you just subject my eyes to

NIP-16’s builders cobbled the hardware together from old railroad bridges, the hulls of decommissioned submarines and the rotating mechanism from a scrapped battleship.

If the US or one of its allies had built it a satellite station that way, you can bet the article would be talking about “recycling,” “earth-friendly building techniques,” “innovative use of former military hardware.”

Almost all those American ads are so lazy. “Let’s just take a picture, slap some text with a ‘woman bad’ joke on it, and call it a day.” And the last one doesn’t even make sense; why would someone be wearing a helmet and a space suit but no gloves?

Compare to those Soviet posters which could be in a museum of modern art.

No one in particular – I was mostly making a dumb joke about the trope of “Soviet honeypot traps” you get in so many western spy movies. Don’t know how much Stalin and the NKVD actually used that particular strategy, or if they ever really used it at all.

If you look at ISS crews

I was tired as hell, and read that as “ISIS crews.” Funny thing is, the American soldiers part still made sense.

Especially embarassing coming from a country that isn’t doing a whole lot of dominating these days.

Both of them were at some point given state secrets by gullible horny dudes in a forbidden relationship?

“You don’t understand how threatened I feel going outside as as Jew!”

– the most basic-looking, pasty-white New Yorker you know (nobody would even guess they were Jewish if they didn’t keep bringing up Oct. 7th and the homeland they don’t live in at every single opportunity)

Chad believer, proud of his heritage

vs.

the dumb larpy “I wanna be Nazi, but also, like, Jewish as well!” Zionist

And yet we weren’t the ones who wrote Eleven Ways to Kill a Child. (Actual anarchist text that I seriously recommend you not look up).

trvly

A certain Trotskyite from Argentina would give you a categorical answer.

Why Chinese expats attacked British pianist

Ever since Beethoven was Lenin’s favorite composer, we communists have had very high standards for piano playing.

The rise of a new kind fascist pianism, exemplified by the playing of Volodymyr Zelensky, has simply made more urgent this holy mission of ours.

smh, another company bought out by TenCent

Yeah, I’m pressing X to doubt that one.

Conscription would be a political disaster. Shades of Vietnam all over again.

(Not that that would stop the geniuses we have in charge from trying it).

One would like to think so, but Abby Shapiro and H. Pearl Davis somehow… exist.
