Imma call bull on this one. America is an empire and it’s not subservient to Europe. America on its own agenda decided to destroy Europes access to cheap energy and no one has called them out on it. Don’t get me wrong I understand where your argument is coming from, but it’s just not really true. Yes the average European worker benefited more than American workers under the American empire, but I would attribute it to their proximity to the USSR rather than because America decided it liked Europeans more than Americans.

Literally with ideas like this what other thing is there to do than to just get rid of them? Like no I’m not doing that, no one should do that. Sleep habits and how they affect the human body and psychology is one of the most understudied things in science I would think. Why would you complicate it with this shit?
Sleep is important, it’s the only time your body repairs and builds itself really. Don’t fuck with it.
This honestly doesn’t surprise me, but not because I think government ghouls are actually good people or anything. It just seems like the farther we go along it becomes more and more apparent that the Marxists are really the only ones who realize what the state department is actually for whereas the inverse is true for the people who work in these departments.
Nah I’m gonna disagree. There’s a reason you have standards in war and ROE. Shit like this, regardless of who it’s being done to is not good on a psychological level. These are guys who will eventually need to be reintegrated into society after their service is done and I’m pretty sure most people would not want to have guys who participated in shit like that walking the streets with them. Part of the deal with having organized military units is having the expectation that they’re going to behave with discipline and that their commanders have a duty to keep tendencies like this to a minimum or eliminate them all together.
A similar example is the mass rapes the Germans did during the invasion into the USSR. Fascists don’t care so they let it happen. When the Soviets pushed into Germany did they allow mass rapes to happen? No rapes were much less and those that got caught were arrested or executed. Why? Because you have to keep the dogs on a leash unless you want them thinking they can do whatever they want. Kinda like Wagner thought it was a good idea to turn around and march eastward until they had stare down the barrel of Chechen Ahkmat forces.
Also I never said they were the closest to the SS that was the other person.
Just because they aren’t the bad guys doesn’t make them good people. Mercs are mercs and regardless of the fact they’re taking out Nazis in Ukraine and Syria, they’re still just mercs who will point their gun at whoever the Russian federation tells them to. I would 100% call out “canoeing” which western special operations do, how is this any different? It’s just assholes getting a sick kick out of being as brutal as possible in a warzone. Russia has my critical support at this time and this is one of those times to be critical.
I’m not gonna say they’re worse than the SS because that’s dumb, but killing guys with sledgehammers is definitely beyond the idea that war is hell. It’s actually getting pretty close to what Ukraine does which is pop knee caps and set guys on fire. I think we should remember that support for Russia at this time is CRITICAL support. Having mercs thinking it’s cool to sledge guys to death, even if they’re Americans who deserve it, should be part of that critical aspect.
Yeah I don’t know how he intended that to be taken other than bitch made.
Maybe the assets imbedded in the cartels are legitimately looking at Ukraine and Israel and saying “maybe working for Mexico wouldn’t be so bad”.
Edit: after reading the article it feels more like the CIA telling cartels to ramp up anti Americans activities in order to justify actions against them.
Trying to eat dinner with the highest fever of my life. Slipping in and out of delirium while my family only feeds me bread and apples.
I actually just started getting into hardcore, but I’m a little less enthusiastic about it when I started interacting with the scene and saw how dogshit the politics are in it. How is the community STILL having debates about whether conservatives can be punk? Shouldn’t that have been settled in the 80’s/90’s?
This is the only comment worth reading in this entire thread. I’m not a big hip hop person, but I was loosely aware of most of what you’re talking about here, mostly because I’m a music history nerd kinda. I always saw the praising of nazism and Hitler from Kanye was most likely not a true heart of hearts admiration of those things, but the antisemitism in general is not an out of the blue phenomenon for him or other hip hop artists of that era. Doesn’t really matter because even if he was just trying to get out of some contracts there’s a million ways to do it other than getting on the air and saying you love Nazis. Now I just laugh when I hear flashing lights, which is now a problematic fave.
That’s also true. We just have court cases and allow precedent to be the backbone of our entire lives without really making concrete changes so they can be altered at the whim of the ruling class.
