Interesting that auto translate isn't available on that tweet, at least right now

"While both groups recognise the need for continued military provision, to help Ukraine push back at Russian aggression, there is a profound gulf around what constitutes a victory – and what the purpose of Europe’s support actually is.”

Yeah no fucking kidding, Europe's support since late 2022 has been based on "damn that didn't work, but maybe if we do it more it will work"

Please tell me that tweet wasn't from later than July 2022

My cat broke my glasses today. I have since declared her a wrecker and a revisionist.

They are thinking short term in the sense of "what is going to get me through this week". At best they are thinking quarterly, and since it's only start of July, their imagination doesn't extend to the election yet.

The inability to do medium term thinking is a hallmark of neoliberalism

The reason I don't eat oysters as a vegan is because carnists are always looking for wedge issues and loopholes for why their favourite treat animal is actually fine to eat. When I'm out with friends and someone asks "you don't even eat oysters?" I say "no." specifically so that they don't get to say "oh well carpoftruth the vegan eats oysters but they're a super vegan so it's probably still fine for me to eat fish and look down on the steak eaters." Fuck that, I'm not giving them that satisfaction. They can carry their own water.

If you cut off a chicken's head, it will still act like a chicken.

This is literally the stupidest thing I've ever read on hexbear.

How exactly is poultry a grey area? Have you met birds before? I hear what you're saying about oysters (even though I disagree), but making the same case for fish/octopus let alone birds is pretty fucking mind blowing.

I'm part of leadership of a small community group for our part of town. I am seeking advice on how to smuggle gold-communist principles into a group that is not explicitly communist or anticapitalist but nevertheless is receptive to the concepts.

So far the group is focused on community resiliency in the face of climate change, sustainability, food/skill sharing, social inclusivity (i.e. age, class, LGBT, ethnicity, nationality), and is generally meant to be an alternative to the chud heavy block watch groups on Facebook that just fear monger about teens after dark and property values. The group's politics are not explicitly leftist/anticapitalist but the most active members think naomi klein is great. If it was 2016 I would bet on the group being Bernard brothers. This is a heavily propagandized part of the west so actual political theory is thin on the ground. The membership of the group is likely to grow significantly over time so it is not realistic to put up a hammer and sickle, but nevertheless I want to lay foundational principles that align with anticapitalist/communist values.

For municipal politics reasons, we will open this group up to members from the neighborhood catchment to stake our claim as official reps of this part of town. We are writing our constitution and bylaws now and I want to bake in some antichud deterrents into these documents so it isn't appealing for chuds. In addition I want to frame all our future events and projects with left language, falling short of dictatorship of the proletariat or mao-aggro-shining.

Help me chapo you're my only hope

This song really whips the llama's ass

When the free market

Fundamentalist steps on a roadside bomb

outside Kandahar

Bleeding to death

I swear to Ayn Rand

I'll ask if he needs an invisible hand

I remember panning these guys when they were a grubby skate punk band before I had any idea what a fucking garbage lib I was. They sounded like they were recorded in a bathroom but they were right.

My child wanted to watch an animated green lantern series recently so we checked it out. Of course the main character who is the human green lantern is a fighter pilot who does a bunch of sweet fighter pilot flight maneuvers in the opening sequence. I told my child that shows like this often show the military being cool and doing cool stuff, but that in real life what fighter pilots actually do is drop bombs on children. I'm only human, I also enjoy (some) military action movies, but I know it's cotton candy brain poison too.

I hate how many children's shows have pro military pro cop propaganda. How do others talk to their kids about it to inoculate them against brainworms? I usually describe the military and the cops as being like a gang of bullies - they do things to make themselves look cool but really they just exist to hurt people and take their shit.
