pretty cool footage here of iron dome failing to stop the Iranian attack https://x.com/revolutionaryem/status/1779336513274405047

I’ll be watching like safari animal videos and I’ll start getting recommendations that are straight up gore ‘dog gets eaten by lion’ type of thing. I hate how hard it is to use the internet without being exposed to disgusting shit

of course the ‘communists’ in the show turned out to be smug liberals who apparently knew everything abou VaultTecs plans, and negelected to tell anyone or do anything about it except for have meetings amongst themselves? lmao

I never really played the games so maybe I’m missing something. But I don’t really understand why capitalists that already own and run everything would decide they need to create a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I mean the main reason we’ve never had nuclear war irl is because no-one benefits. And then the show is so devoid of politics or ideology, but in that case the motives of people who would give over their entire life to, for example, just running a vault underground, becomes hard to imagine.

The writing is extremely lazy, it also pushes the same dangerous/fascist idea that western media is saturated with nowdays, that everything bad that happens is the product of some shadowy Illuminati puppetmasters.

Also If you look at the general response so far people are bending over backwards to invent reasons why the writers are actually very smart, this is the same thing that happens with all slop (Star Wars is the archetypal example I think) - ‘oh maybe the writers didn’t actually mean this/are holding back information for next season/have some bigger picture in mind that will make it all make sense etc.’

I’ve always wondered why neither the USSR nor the West ever seriously attempted to assassinate Hitler. From the USSR perspective they may have understandably been concerned about the other Allies deciding they preferred a military-led Germany to the Soviet Union. I was taught that the UK/US never tried it because they thought Hitler was a strategic liability to the Germans, although honestly that doesn’t sound very plausible to me

I think the legacy of neoliberalism will be a major problem for leftists going forward. We know the West is going to crash hard, certainly outside the US and probably within the US as well. At least half the population think that left-wing politics = neoliberal politics. They have fucked us on immigration in particular. So much of the working class opposes immigration because it has been used by neoliberals specifically to undercut wages. You can tell people it’s the economic system but the idea that everything bad is because of immigration is becoming really ingrained. If the US or any Western country were to collapse it would be fascism that is primed to exploit that, not Marxism or any other left politics.

Everyone has always noted about Trump that if he was smart enough (or allowed?) to outflank the Dems on left issues that were overwhelmingly popular (and a generally anti-war stance would be one) that he could dominate US politics. I mean this is the strategy of European fascists like Le Pen too - outflank the neoliberal centrists on populist issues

Trust the plan

How do we get this information across the Chinese border?

It’s literally unplayable now on console it’s so slow. Like they are basically just scamming people by still selling it
