That's going on? I was curious about the patch pic but figured I'd just wait until more came out with time as it could be photoshop.
Yeah it's more or less the 1984 book arrangement with Eurasia, Eastasia, and Oceania at each other's throats from time to time. And how quickly the people are expected to forget that Eurasia was our ally last month, and Eastasia was the primary opponent.
It’s not that the actual ideology of fascism has been adopted, it’s the techniques of fascism which have been adopted. Fascism recognized that the old liberal ideas about states being made up of free individuals associating with each other were a lie, and sought to impose order on society by creating and continuously recreating the people who compose it. A version of this has always existed, but fascism took informal processes of enculturation and institutionalized them. In a way, fascism was a logical outgrowth of liberal capitalism, which rationalized production and exponentially expanded the power of the state.
It's much simpler than that, at some point any government system has to recognize that there is no absolute knowledge and there is no system where the most "intelligent" create utopia, and the idea of democracy is retarded as that is just a mob of retards slap fighting for power. As such they come to the idea that there is a ruling class which should steer things, but that ruling class can't actually create an economy or society, so that is outsourced to the general population. At some point the ruling class asks why there's so much freedom for those under them, and we see the retarded insanity of Xi or Biden come to power. I just hope we see a world where we just aren't such retards and aren't anally raped by government because of our own nigger brains.
Snipers, gunners, and mortars take up position in apartment buildings regularly.
Have you read my post or only one sentece? War expenses, capital escaping country, ring any bells?
Yep, always has and always will be. It's your modern day torches and pitchforks.
why of course, we'll let someone we don't know film us in a warzone! no way could you be a spotter for the enemy or anything, no sir!
I have to say, the western media really is doing a marvelous performance of doublethink, where the Russians are simultaneously weak-ass pussies, that are fucked six ways from sunday, and literally the Soviet Union on steroids both at the same time. I suppose it'll give them an out either way - if they fail spectacularly and have to pull back, they'll say: "see? we told you our cancel culture would work! slava ukraini!" and if russia does prevail, despite a heavy cost, the western media will be: "OMG - this is the new iron courtain! what did we tell youuuu????"
Dammit! These are so fucking cringe.
Yeah and it sucks to be a civilian trapped in hell on earth. Due to all the other bullshit with civilians in Ukraine I believe they were trapped in by their own side and those Russians are going to be ridiculously on edge.
The Biden comparison of all things is appropriate because US media spent years saying Trump was mentally ill and couldn't walk down a ramp. Biden is noticeably daft but it goes largely ignored by media - the same media who is now saying Putin is mentally ill.
With the double fall followed by the salute at the end, all I can think of is that Leslie Nielsen would've done an amazing job playing Biden in a comedy movie.
I think that starting war which makes Russia lose men, equipment, power in international politics, access to all imported goods just to have some soviet union LARP is far better indicator that something is wrong.
People just are tired of being told "X is mentally ill!!" by the media whenever some politican/leader does something they don't like while actively covering and lying about one of the top world leaders obviously being a bit slow and unable to keep up.
You are missing the point that these foreign businesses do a lot to keep Russia's economy afloat. And now they are fucking off at record rates. People yap on about "but muh Russia can still sell gas and shit to China or something" assuming that Russia's entire economic model runs off selling oil and gas like they are Saudi Arabia or some shit. I wish there were English subs for this vid because the dude makes a pretty good point that this is industry being kneecapped and people losing jobs.
"Yes, well...when I see ISIS-K terrorists, assembling on the streets of Kabul, I drone strike the bastards! That's MY policy!"
