Bluerays will still exist because of japanese laws. How am I supposed to get my anime without dimming if I don't pirate bluerays?

This may be too much even

Taiwan is a fantastic launching point for an invasion of China and Taiwan has decent relations with the US and other capitalist states who have an interest in opposing China. Yk how people say Israel is an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle east? Taiwan could be like that for China if the western powers decided to use it as such. There is already a US military base there. Imagine how the US would react if Cuba had a Chinese military base? This is the main material reason.

Chip manufacturing could also play a role but it is a minor one compared to this.

I installed arch without it and it was a fucking struggle. Didn't know it existed til after. Like actually hours after

Fall of Civilizations - long narrative based historical episodes regarding civilizational collapse. One of my favorites by far

The Deprogram - 3 lads from vastly different countries yapping about socialism, imperialism, and world events with a relatively casual tone. They are silly guys and I like them.

Blowback - long-form narrative retellings of various US imperial crimes. Each season is a different country.

The Magnus Archives - my beloved. A horror/mystery audio drama that deserves an essay to describe it. This is my favorite work of fiction. I don't even know where to start just try it please

Anyone know if this has any connection to settler colonialism in Eelam? Is this caused by the influx of settlers or unrelated is what I mean.

I hope America does not exist after its fascist meltdown. I don't want Americans to be ashamed of their American past, I want them to denounce the American project entirely. They must be forced to admit that it was horrible from start to finish. This is part of why denazification failed in Germany. We let them continue to exist and we did not destroy their imperial mythology.

I wish I was this bee so bad rn

Honestly I am not focused on revolution within the US at the moment. Before that is possible we will need revolutions in the imperial periphery that make our empire weak enough to tackle. I have not the slightest clue what it would take to be a revolutionary in the sense that Che was within the US and I don't think its up to individuals to figure that out. Leaving it to the individual is begging for adventurism. Hell, Che would say America is not ready for an urban Guerrila movement yet anyway. He'd say too many people still trust the electoral system and he'd be damn right. America does not yet have a revolutionary vanguard party so I wouldn't say anyone is close to being revolutionaries yet. PSL shows promise but they are limited by essentially just being a protest org right now. They also do some education and work with some labor unions but it isn't all there imo.

Guevara easily. Kaczynski recognized many issues with the world but blamed it on technological progress rather than the system driving that technological progress and then used it as an excuse to murder people. He wasn't even very good at the murdering and mostly killed people he did not intend to. Luigi is ideologically confused but iconic for his (alleged) propaganda of the deed. I like him but he isn't an influence on me. Guevara helped lead a successful revolution that vastly improved the lives of the vast majority of cubans forever. He has contributed to an incalculable good for hundreds of thousands of people. He then became a leftist icon and integral part of so many guerilla movements that were so threatening that the US contracted help from a former nazi to find and kill him. They then attempted to hide is corpse in an unmarked grave in the jungle. It's not a hard choice. Thats not even mentioning his valuable humanitarian work outside of Cuba and his work within the Cuban government as treasurer.

Death to America does not mean death to Americans and the Iranian people know this. They are much kinder to us than we often are to them.

Source: I know Iranians and have taken multiple courses on modern middle eastern history and politics. I am not expert but I know this much.

I also cried when I first learned this 🫂
