Unfortunately, the death machine is well designed to not need congressional input to operate.

There is nothing priceless about any piece of art ever. Placing a living person’s time and life below a simple image is the most egregious fetishism I have seen in a while.

Dialectics:

People very often confused dialections for being all about opposing forces and contradictions. This is not fully accurate.

Hegel’s dialectics are more fully described as imminent critique, a method where one takes the internal logic of the object of analysis and takes it to its logical conclusion. This is done without bringing in external content or judgement. The point of this excercise is to show whether or not the object in question can stand on its own merit or not. Contradictions are a result of doing imminent critique. We see the internal forces inside an object that will eventually rip it apart. A contradiction is inherently Unstable (or meta-stable at best). No contradiction in the universe can last forever, not even the orbits of the celestial bodies.

Materialism: when hegel first made his imminent critique, it was about ideas evolving through human history. Marx changed it analysing physical and social systems. Mostly the latter, as science is usually more than sufficient to analyse the dynamics of the former.

More broadly speaking, materialism itself has a rich tradition. For most of history, materialist have had to fight against religion and superstition. Today, materialism’s basic premises, that reality exists independently of humans, does not sound like it could possibly be used to justify Communism. This is largely because materialist ideas have spread rapidly through the 20th century, although the associated communist impulse that inevitably goes along with it has been suppressed by propaganda.

By the chronology of the show, no. It would have been infinitely easier for Walt to have swallowed his pride and taken money from gretchen, or even borrowed from hank.

Him becoming a drug lord was always about his own personal pride and sense of worth. It made him feel alive and powerful.

Yeah, Walt is fully responsible. The bourgeois couple are revealed to not even be that bad. The idea that they stole from him is walt’s delusion. He left because of his inferiority complex (which he developed at a very young age).

Honestly, the show is closer to being a Greek tragedy. Many people take it to be a critique of capitalism because of the background context and world models we as an audience bring to the show.

In fact, the show goes out of its way to show that every moment in time, Walt has an out that he refuses to use because of pride. The show itself also analyses the role of the state or big business in the crime or poverty happening only tangentially and gives very little screen time to it.

They’ll get the highly skilled technocrats from outside

Impossible to tell the difference honestly.

My God these articles piss me off so much. The world is more uncertain, unpredictable and risky than ever before? Western values are being undermined?

Stfu. Not only does the lib speak grate on my ears, but even after saying these things, the approach outlined does not change in the slightest.

It’s still just calls for more of the same failed strategy that the west has been using since the end of ww2.

France’s public-sector deficit is projected to reach around 5.6% of GDP this year and go over 6% in 2025. The EU has a 3% limit on deficits.

This is why the EU has to be destroyed. These insane austerity freaks literally never learn no matter how many times austerity fails.

shit is going to be somehow even more bleak in the future

Era of blackest reaction indeed

I seriously don’t understand anymore what liberals think fascism even is if not this. And I used to be lib myself.

“We should allow and promote the spread of diseases […] to win with the least amount of Israeli casualties.”

Yet more proof of israel’s intentions

Just use Linux, it’s not actually as difficult to get working out of the box as people make it out to be. I was a computer noob when I got my first Linux distribution (debian with plasma kde) and it took me an hour to do everything (including googling). Not much longer than the time it takes to install windows.

And once you install a distribution of Linux with a decent desktop environment, you are pretty much good to go. Any functionality, shortcuts, automation that you want to add can usually be added and removed as needed, for free and relatively easily.

"Despite the fact that Putin was obviously extremely angry about the breakthrough in Kursk Oblast, he did not make emotional decisions, so we did not see the strategy of ‘quick, grab everyone and send them to retake Kursk’.”

I don’t know if this is just propaganda, an idiot, or the actual thinking behind the operation. Because if it is, then hinging your plan on having the enemy make dumb decisions is itself rather stupid.

They have other means of retaliation, notably, arming western enemies. Although thisninstance was cancelled

3 day invasion

The idea that they planned for it to be 3 days was completely made up.

Let’s see if it pays off for them.

Quite the attitude to have when the west is losing wars on like 4 fronts (gaza, yemen, ukraine, and lebanon) simultaneously. That too while having shit military industrial capacity.

By capturing Russian territory Russia now has a reason to come to negotiations to just call everything off to get their land back.

Ukraine captured land in kursk and this did not cause the Russians to come to the negotiating table, nor signal that they will weaken their demands. In fact, they simply started taking land even faster in Ukraine because Ukraine had committed resources into kursk instead of the front lines.

All it goes to show is that westerners have a complete non-understanding of this war.

Well, at least Russia will further supply enemies of the west in retaliation.
