Yes, but does it feel gendered? Habibi (m) vs habibti (f)? For non-binary people, maybe habibna? Or habibkum? Or just habib-?

Definitely not Feynman. He developed his whole public clown persona only to distract from his guilt over participating in mass murder. Curie was (still is) literally too radioactive to safely get anywhere near to. Her remains are sealed in lead. Which of the other ones had least toxic masculinity?

Edit: I just realized I replied to a one year old post. But I’ll leave it. I mostly post to structure my own thoughts anyway.

I like how you framed this as a dialogue and I appreciate the humor. A lot of this is mere ideology. What matters is what can actually be done right now. We can’t transcend anything right now, we can’t even defeat the state right now. All this talk just distracts from our actual class position. Of course left unity matters only to people who are actually out there and organizing. And among those people, it’s actually very popular. Everyone else won’t ever effect anything anyway and might as well continue playing word games.

Mentally putting yourself in a position of power, where you can ponder about what to do with technology and the state on a global scale is not just illusory. It’s a consequence of capitalist hegemony. Which is the generalization of particular interests of the ruling classes. Arguing from this imagined top down position is inevitably arguing from the position of the currently existing ruling class. Ironic, how anarchists are totally no less guilty of this. That’s why capitalists class interests sneak in. Like splitting left unity. That’s why liberal ideology sneaks in. Like: “We should do this or that, for any number of normative ethical reasons.” Marx and Engels never engaged in this. They knew that morals and societies evolve dialecticaly from the historical, material conditions. We won’t know what the future looks like until we win it. Together.

Thanks! I quickly found a PDF.

Which keywords can I search for to find out more about all those things? I tried “gdr poison attempt” for example, but couldn’t find anything. Links would be great too, but don’t want to trouble anyone.

That was just a metaphor. An event horizon is different from the Hubble radius in several ways.

Actually you wouldn’t notice anything special crossing the event horizon. You’d just continue to fall.

Makes you wonder why only one beetle does this. Were the adaptions necessary to survive the digestive acid really complex or really unlikely, maybe?

The whites need the others to do all the hard work. Can’t have a fascist settler colonial project without exploiting the natives. The ones that haven’t been murdered in the genocide yet, of course.

When war comes to Europe/the West, it’s coming home. Racists who react like that are only able to feel empathy with other white people

Why is it yellow though?

China, however, has taken a more cautious, nuanced approach. Beijing sees little advantage in supporting one presidential candidate over the other, intelligence analysts say. Instead, China’s disinformation efforts focus on campaign issues particularly important to Beijing

Oh no if we can trust unnamed “intelligence analysts”, you know, probably the same people who manufactured russiagate, spend billions on foreign desinformation campaigns and are famous for toppling democratically elected officials around the world, then China is accused of meddling in the elections! Allegedly, they do it by providing, well… impartial and relevant information without favoring any candidate. But they cunningly limit their evil public relations campaign to issues pertaining to their own country, which is… bad for some reason.

And even more wicked: by pretending to be Americans, they evade the natural American defense mechanism against r̶e̶a̶s̶o̶n̶ outside influence: racism. How will we know to ignore their logic and their pleas for peace and cooperation, if we don’t know their skin color?! Heavens! If this is allowed to continue, the rampant preparations for a nuclear apocalypse inducing war against China might continue to accelerate in a somewhat less feverish frenzy! Better crank internet cencorship up to eleven stat, that’s the only way to protect democracy. /s

Seems like a boring rerun of russiagate which was just declassified as an op.

Okay I’ll start. I did a quick search and found this one:

To criticize the people’s shortcomings is necessary, . . . but in doing so we must truly take the stand of the people and speak out of whole-hearted eagerness to protect and educate them. To treat comrades like enemies is to go over to the stand of the enemy.

Aren’t there? Seems like it would make at least a dent in the graph.

5% of men of all ages groups are willing to admit, they’re attracted to other men. 6.2% say they’ve had sexual contact with other men.

For context: 23.1% of Gen Z adults self identify as LGBTQ+.

Feudalism doesn’t necessitate endless growth on a finite planet. It had other terrible contradictions, which were solved by capitalism by introducing new contradictions wich lead to crisis faster, more often and with more devastating effects.Of course, I wouldn’t want to go back to having Lords own all the land, but wait, we still have those, they’re called landlords.
