cant wait for two groups of people with the same intentions to meet up and just beat each other senseless while screaming “nuh uh! YOU’RE the gay ones!”
then they just end up fucking each other because its scientifically proven that homophobia is directly linked to innate homosexual desires.
watched it again recently. loved it. i get the hate though fo sho.
its out there for sure. but then again this was made before we knew that a pedophile shadow elite was manipulating online spaces into far right extremist shitholes so they can further an agenda of global control and systematically dismantling democracy whenever they could.
also apparantly aliens suddenly exist now right before the US invades iran
fuckin moon bears, man. crazy shit.

i wish your dad was still alive too.
guy fuckin ruled.
just remember that while its appreciated and should for sure be implemented, that it doesnt mean shit if your hardware/software is compromised on your devices.
start by switching to linux, and removing any and all mainstream platforms from your devices, support open source hardware and software. and a VPN wouldnt hurt either.
take a real deep dive on that one folks. its a never ending rabbit hole that may lead to you living in an off grid cabin in the woods. but it sure is interesting from point A to Z.
^ fuck yea they did.
Audhd here.
yea its rough. modern world wasnt made for us. routine is hard. i get that. trust me i do.
however. perhaps consider not attempting to fit into the world. you really dont have to. its not only exhausting, its futile for most of us. it requires us to be drugged and brainwashed for christs sake.
just do whatever the fuck you want to do, when you want to do it. life is short, and we evolved this way to experience the most of it, and we evolved to adapt to the chaos faster than anyone else can. there is use for that if you can find your various and ever changing niches.
stop pretending to be something you’re not. play to your strengths, develop new ones.
this world is crumbling anyways. dont take it too seriously. its okay to be sad about things from time to time. overwhelmed. thats life. its a bitch. but its also beautiful, and interesting. there are infinite ways for you to experience it. and we get such a short amount of time just to scratch the surface. and thats okay, thats part of what makes life so special. especially for people like us. even in this fucked up world.
my advice, which was gifted to me by my grandfather in his last words to me before dying 20 minutes later.
“get an education, because once you have it, no one can take it away from you”
and to me that meant to never stop learning, period. its the only thing thats kept me grounded in the face of existential dread (which arguably is also caused by knowing too much about certain subjects) and when aimed in a constructive direction can move mountains. or at least lead to an interesting and satisfying life. and in the end thats all that really matters.
at the end of your life youll have a million talents, a million hobbies, and millions of stories to tell about all the chaotic shit you lived through and adapted to. you’ll become a living story book, and a guide to others if you let yourself.
careers are for squares, routine is for robots. we are the most authentically human people to exist in this bullshit farce of a world created and shaped by psychopathic pedophile nutjob billionaires and oligarchs. so rebel by continuing on with the indomitable will of the human spirit. then pass the torch like a good soldier.
good luck, have fun, dont die. at least not any time soon.
im not surprised nobody is seeding it. lmao.
i cant find it anywhere, yet.
if you are going to hate watch any film.
pirate it.
great book.
they will adapt, they will have no choice. but the interim period between adaptation and collapse of the US dollar will see a massive reduction in personal freedoms and the way of life as we know it.
i suggest you look into the global reserve currency, and which countries/economies rely on it. and what happens during hyper inflation.
its not pretty. a lot of people will die as a result. supply chain collapse, civil war, loss of public services, healthcare, etc.
even a preemptive adapation will come with significant negative day to day effects.
like gold turning into lead in your pocket. but more accurately, like the 1’s and 0’s in your account suddenly having a lot more 0’s before the 1’s.
interesting take, i appreciate the write up. and ill look into reading that, it sounds insightful.
however, the inevitable collapse of the current world order has already been called by the middle powers, particularily by mark carney the current canadian prime minister of canada at davos recently. he suggests an economic work around through trade agreements that would seek to lessen american dependance, to mitigate damage and create a “new world order” in the face of the inevitable collapse of the US economy.
no empire is permanent, they always fail, its a matter of time. and right now all the economic dominos have lined up to showcase this absolute truth. regardless of the failure of nation, or empire, there will always be those who will find a way to maintian their power and influence post collapse.
when i say collapse. i mean a complete shift in our current state as a society and civilisation.
Marx predicted this roughly 200 years ago, lenin later on predicted the outcome further in his critique of monopoly in empire the highest stage of capitalism, and we see it now that these words ring true.
the consolidation of wealth leads to economic turmoil for the working class, unrest, revolution, etc. eventually the wealth divide becomes so vast that society becomes so unaffordable that we as humans have no choice but to revolt.
this is common sense, especially from the POV of those who caused it. and logic dictates that regardless of their lack of empathy, that those who caused it, and pushed it to its extremes understand the risks that come with their greed. it also dictates that they will do whatever it takes to preserve themselves, even if it means using immoral means of mass genocide, and general controls of the population.
AI is not profitable, through the lense of economics it is a dead end technology in terms of its use for long term profitability, and when i say long term i mean decades, and decades, considering the fallout that it brings to would be consumers. but in the view of someone who doesnt value it for its exchange value for consumers, but as a tool of control, and surveillance of a disturbed population. thats where they find its value. this is why elites and governments the world over that represent them, are implicating it in the various ways they are. policing, and military usage being prime examples.
they want us to fund and build the infrastructure through our labours, building our future prison, judge, jury, executioner, all in one. while saying its for our safety and advancement.
the truth is, they know the gravy train of neoliberalism, capitalism, and consumerism. is coming to a close.
what remains is damage control, and mitigation of risk.
like you stated human empathy creates another unavoidable risk, and so it is an issue that must be tackled by the ruling class. like they always have.
the creation of the internet, an originally military technology, implemented as public infrastructure served as the initial catalyst and mainline for the future tools they would use to manipulate the global population. now we see those results manifest. rising fascism, a term coined by a man who said it might be more aptly named “corporatism” a system of governance where the wealthy corporatists control the government, and on their behalf, they control the population.
now we have the creation of AI which automates that process further. and they are clawing for it all over the world, disregarding public outcry, and creating projects that funnel trillions of tax payer dollars to build the new systems of control.
if the internet was the nervousystem, AI is the brain that dictates the flow of signals to its extremeties. flawed as it is from the point of view of a consumer and average human. specifically in terms of its daily use cases and overall consumption. not only of money, but water, and energy.
we already see it causing mass psychosis and the relative ease it has in manipulating information and general ideology amongst the masses.
placation, bread and circus, and direct control of military assets that have no ability to feel anything. drones, missiles, surveillance cameras, smart phones, autonomous machines of every kind. virtually every military or police force of merit is implementing these technologies.
it is not a cohesive movement by the elites, but a common sense awakening of multiple tribes of elites, that know this is the new way to maintain their stations.
Gaza is an example of modern genocide, a showcase of these technologies not just on the battlefield, but their outward ability to control emotions and the narrative surrounding it as a whole across all connective technologies. it also shows the world powers that it is possible to get away with genocide if the message is spun or stifled properly, depending on the user profile of the outward observer. it is considered a “debatable topic” in some circles still.
what we are witnessing is the soft crashing of the old world ideals. the rules no longer apply, and its debtable if they ever did to begin with. depending on your economic position in the hierarchy. the epstein files also showcased this differential treatment and the lengths the elite are willing to go to control us, and eachother.
the collapse will be long and sustained, but inevitable. the current economic form is not built to withstand this level of technological shift while sustaining a full and growing population. and neither is the environement.
not every elite agrees on how the new world should look, but they all agree that they have the right to witness it moreso than the people the parasitize.
the means of which they will choose to chase their future maintenance are always up for debate. but the overall consensus is that technology evolves to produce more with less. its just that now the produce is no longer commodity based. it produces, control, surveillance, and the maintenance of power and influence. more control, minus the human element. or at least a mass reduction in the variatibility of the human element.
even if they intended to not act towards a mass reduction in the global population, it is now a mathematical certainty that they believe is already beyond their control.
they are simply insuring their survival, and lifestyle, in the face of an inevitable situation, which just so happens to present a profitable biproduct. the reduction of competition. in all its forms.
in the meantime they will manufacture consent.
“well, thats a fine how do ya do”
the elites of the world know that eventually society as we know it will collapse. so right now they are entering the smash and grab stage of that collapse to gather as many resources, assets, power etc as possible so that they can have not only a better chance of survival, but also a better chance of reforming the new world in their image.
in fact i think they are trying to quicken the pace, or at least some “tribes” are.
the united states will invade iran and several other nations, it will fall due to civil war and devalue the US dollar which will collapse the current economic model, and take other nations economies with it. the elite that orchestrated this will cash in their saved assets into a new liquid currency and use it to buy up everything on fire sale. as is tradition. then they will bring the world into a temporary techno feudalist state, or at least form several nations into them.
they are keeping records of everyone, everything, every tap of your key board, every shred of data is saved for future use. even being near a router is enough for them to take at least some biometric data about you now.
eventually this will be uses to sort humanity into different in and out groups, and several culling waves will take place to reduce the working classes man power and ability to resist future automated forces.
BCI interfaces will be used to control the remaining useful population, and integrate a kill switch into every human alive. using nano technology they might even be able to make it airborn.
sounds sci fi until you look into what tech exists already today let alone what can exist a few years from now with more advanced “AI” systems doing the heavy lifting and filling in the gaps. combined with quantum computing, things will get extremely weird when those two technologies merge, and they will merge eventually.
the tools they use today to manipulate the masses will be childrens toys in the face of what is to come. and consent will not be a part of the equation when it comes to discerning effectiveness.
this will take decades to play out. but at the end of it we will have a much smaller, very tightly controlled population, and the worst psychopathic nut jobs at the head of it all. if we dont wipe ourselves out before then entirely.
needless to say, enjoy your days while they are as simple as they are now.
not entirely insane, they heavily invested in reddit in the past, and its not like these people are capable of only making one deal with one group of people or even one government.
not saying thats the case, just that isnt impossible or insane to think it could be. global influence requires global influence. and with enough money and blackmail virtually anything is possible. just look at the US right now.
crazy shit man.
i just heard about a nasal spray technology that was recently developed for a BCI (body computer interface) using conductive nano particles that can pass the blood brain barrier.
not sure how it works, but just that it apparantly exists.
like nasal spray neuralink.
not saying this is related or anything, besides having the same delivery system.
crazy times we live in.
thats a great expansion on the subject, i appreciate your passion and input. it reads as a bit aggressive, but i respect your willingness to disagree with an agreeable statement. and to be honest i am not a fan of hostile debate, and am more of a casual conversationalist more than anything. that being said ill address some of what you said between mouthfuls of soup, and ill try to keep it as accurate as i can considering the inherent biases and interpretations that are inherent in this hotly debated subject.
No. They really weren’t. The Whites were spent as a force within Russia by '23. The only Whites who remained active were emigres in other countries who spent most of their time moping and begging from their hosts.
you can argue that the whites and former white army members, loyalists, anarchists, bolsheviks, and general opposition to stalin didnt attempt to undermine him consistently through his reign, even out of fear of death, but they did. even after they were seemingly “wiped out” you cant argue that there was no opposition, they simply no longer advertised their prior loyalties (at least not as openly). thats like saying every single german was a nazi during world war 2, and that there was no ideological resistance or simple sabotage. was it rare to find open opposition? absolutely, open opposition was a death/prison sentence in most cases, but underground movements and western funding for those movements in addition to their own domestic abilities were still happening periodically through the existence of the USSR.
Neither of those claims are true. The birth of the GULAG system arguably has its roots in the Tsarist regime, but its most infamous incarnation under Lenin was applied to political prisoners in general; and under Stalin simply whoever caught their neighbor’s ire at a given point in time
this felt like disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. so i wont spend much time on this one. you even mention it was arguable yourself, so i can assume you know what i meant and move on. blue dress, gold dress. if you want ill say EXPANDED and ravamped GULAGS. if thats a more agreeable statement for you.
Only until the Russian Civil War was over. Fuck, man, most of Stalin’s industrial reforms were enabled by Western material and technical assistance in the 1930s.
when i say after the revolution, im speaking about everything after the revolution. not just the 1930s. but the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and so on. should have been more clear on that, i guess. also its a known fact that stalin disliked the western influence that differed from his ideals of strict central planning during this period you mentioned, and he was correct in thinking that it wasnt just a simple exchange of goods and services, western trade unions, workers rights, cultural exchanges of foreign workers, etc, and he generally viewed any kind of investment, loans, or technical aid as capitalist penetration. and there was recorded intent for that as well from the west. so he wasnt wrong to question it from his standpoint. there was a mixture of cultural influence, political influence, and technological influence that he did not find agreeable to his standards. these “micro” aggressions were some of the many reasons that lead to further aggression from both sides that lead tonthe cold war.
Again, the post-WW2 situation was outright hopeful in the West until it was clear to even the most naive that Stalin had no intention of keeping any of the promises he made.
you said it yourself, it was clear, hence why they undermined russia in the coming decades whenever they could get away with it. everything from denying credit, trade embargos, tariffs, distribution of propaganda, even rebel radio networks. it wasnt always direct aggression. it had far more nuance than you are letting on.
The Golden Mean Fallacy is just that. The truth between Alex Jones claiming 10,000 water-breathing human hybrids in vats created by the UN and sane people claiming 0 is not 5,000. The truth is the truth, regardless of the range between claimants; and claimants can be completely correct or completely incorrect.
thats an entirely different argument and id argue in this case a false equivilence. history is written by the victors and dead men tell no tales. we can only surmise based off of available historical evidence and the words of historians who base their arguments on said evidence. and the evidence dictates that there was western influence in the USSR during lenin, stalin, and so on, with the express intent to simultaniously uplift profitable aspects, and undermine other less profitable aspects. and the various forms that takes to achieve it.
im not disagreeing with anything you are saying, in fact i understand everything you are saying, im just arguing that there is more nuance to what you are putting out there. its not as cut and dry or absolute as you are saying.
thats another view of history and i appreciate your input. but you rewrote what i alluded to, parts of what you said are parts i didnt mention because i was offering a general summary. we can argue semantics and specifics if youd like but the fact of the matter is the west has done everything in its power to undermine communist and socialist countries since their inception. specifically russia, which stood as an example for communist revolutionaries the world over, specifically within the confines of what they were able to do financially during the great depression, and then with increasing and varied amplitudes afterwards. trade embargos, denial of credit, tariffs, etc.
the white army/loyalists who were formerlly part of that army were still very much active after the fall of the tsarist regime, even decades later, obviously less militant and more so waging an ideological/political battle . this is part of what lead to the birth of gullags under lenin. and the slaughters under stalin, they didnt vanish overnight, and they 100% recieved support from the west after the revolution for a multitude of purposes that undermined russia with various degrees of aggression and differing tactics. and part of it not only was occupied land disputes, but unpaid debt, ideology, and economic reasons as well.
and yes it was gross mismanagment, but pretending like the west wasnt actively attempting to undermine or foster the flames of a counter revolution in russia post lenin, all the way up to the modern day is an example of western teachings on the subject. the truth, as they say, is always somewhere in the middle.
western influence in russia has been an issue since well before lenin could read or write, and long after stalin breathed his last.
im not saying what you said isnt true, nor do i disagree with your statements, its all part of the larger issues at the time, and we can sparse it out if you like. i got the time right now, im just making some seafood soup at the moment. perhaps you can allude to something i havent read yet. and perhaps direct me to some interesting sources i havent seen. im a fan of these interactions, and how propaganda works from both ends. im just basing my sources off of (some of) churchills letters/diaries/speeches, stalins diaries/letters/speeches (the maisky diaries specifically) as well as lenins and trotskys pamphlets and writings before, during, and after the october revolution up until their deaths, and a number of documentaries ive watched over the years on the subject. i will admit im less aquainted with churchills works and rhetoric besides “the hits”. so if thats a point of contention that you are better informed with, and you are willing to dissect, im all for it. id love to hear your takes.
thats not entirely true. the unabomber rejected aspects of both systems. left wing/right wing politics in the states, specifically liberalism and conservatism, are both capitalist in nature, and thus ultimately anti human and anti environemental. capitalism as a whole is an unsustainable model compared to his ideal of a simpler existence for humanity and a sustainable environment. and he wrote deeply on his critisisms
he was was more so anarcho primitivist adjacent. anti modern, anti tech/industrial. he took aspects that he liked from both spectrums and rejected anything that would destroy nature or his idea of personal freedom. like gun control or the ability to live simply outside of the system as an example. he was technically an ecological extremist. although im sure he would reject most titles assigned to his beliefs. like an anti industrial anarcho libertarian enivornmentalist? he embodied extremeism from both sides of the spectrum. but didnt subscribe to either.
he saw things as more up vs down, than left vs right. and on that point i agree. his means, not so much.
eric rudolph was most certainly right wing though. personally cant relate to his ideology. he was a christian extremeist and generally a whack job with no logic besides “god said so” and he attacked people who were experiencing an already deeply traumatic experience like abortion as example.
im not a fan of organized religion personally. i think anyones spirituallity should be on an individual level and should align with (generally speaking) making the world a better, healthier, more sustainable, and equitable place for all, supporting each other with love and compassion regardless of their backgrounds. but that also translates differently for a lot of people. (obviously) theres really no right answer to the minutia of faith based questions, and thats the crux of religious “tensions” to put it lightly. but organizing a lot of people to essentially enslave themselves to an organization which dictates their moral code for them is historically a very violent idea for those involved. and often creates more harm than good. not saying there arent positive aspects like community and doing good in the world. but you dont need religion to do good and have a moral compass. and if you need fear of eternal punishment, or the motivation of eternal reward in order to do good in the world, then id argue that people who live that way arent representing the best aspects of humanity truthfully. and are just one bad day away from hurting people who dont deserve it.
i dont want to get lost in the weeds of religious philosophy on this one though. not saying there is not value in it, there is. but religious absolutism doesnt fit the reality of the human condition.
so. long story short. not a fan of eric rudolph. and not a total fan of the unabomber either. i can understand/empathise with their view points, but not the means in which they went to achieve them. like attacking innocent people who were just trying to survive in the same systems they rejected.
generally speaking though, if you are going to attack the system, the first step is no longer participating in it, then developing new ones that sustain you and others outside of it.
if people want to organize after the fact and attack the system in a more traditional “direct” approach, i personally think it should be against the people who are orchestrating it, and the means in which they do it, rather than the ones surviving in it. take that as you will. its not cut and dry and there is no right way to fix the world so everyone can be happy and eat cake together without completely dismembering the human condition as it stands. humans are varied and unpredictable. that is the horror and beauty of humanity. “the dichotomy of man”
im not claiming to have all the answers here, i dont. nobody does. but generally speaking i think we should all attempt to leave the world a little nicer than we left it, and live in balance with each other. but again, definitions vary on how to achieve that.
