‘ukraine’ stopped being a sovereign, democratic state when the euromaidan coup of 2014 (orchestrated by nuland and others in the obama admin) overthrew yanukovich.

The coup itself was exceptionally violent, including burning many people alive in a trade union hall, as well killing many civilians in the donbass region by indiscriminate mortar fire (by the ‘ukrainians’).

The regime itself is openly fascist, and has formally integrated military units which openly wear nazi-era symbols and which glorify the infamous nazi steppan bandera.

Modern ukraine is now a proxy state, which the west uses as a money laundering operation to wash american tax dollars through ukraine and ultimately to europe, and as a weapons blackmarket for terrorists around the world. The banderite regime is also trafficking human organs at an industrial scale, and it is widely assumed that sex trafficking from that region has also increased. (ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in the world even before the coup stole the sovereignty away from ukrainian people.)

Now that ukraine is badly losing on the battlefield, and that this useless war has dragged on for years longer than it should, to still be supporting ‘ukraine’ in 2026 means one of two things. Either:

1: You are historically / politically or media illiterate. This means you believe every news story from cnn, fox news, or from other cia cutouts. You can’t understand why the US would have anything to do with coups because that doesn’t gel with your disney-level understanding of reality. No critical thinking, no context, no details. Just ukraine good. zelensky good. putin bad.

or

2: You are an ideological fascist. In the ww2 sense. You support the legacy of bandera, you believe their concentration camps and holocausting of jews, gays, romani etc didnt go far enough, that their project went unfinished, and you hope that with western backing zelensky and his coterie of banderites will this time complete the fuhrers final solution and make ukraine an ethnically pure fascist state.

I’ll be generous and say as a third option you might be a ukrainian national and just be playing along with the cancerous banderite junta (which has banned all non-state-sanctioned religions, cancelled all elections, outlawed opposition political parties, and even banned the speaking of the russian language amongst ethnic russians) out of pure fear. This one i can at least understand, especially if you lacked the foresight or the means to flee your country when it was lost to the west in 2014.

do they have a gofundme i can donate to?

the search providers (especially that famously ‘not evil’ one) had a huge hand in centralising and then gatekeeping access to ‘the web’. They have such a disproportionately powerful effect on how users discover content, and huge power to drive self-fulfilling ‘network effects’ where people go where people already are, which has become so normalised that most people couldn’t imagine ‘the web’ without them.

i’m not suggesting it was ever realistic or possible, but what we needed was for that one search provider and indexer of content to be broken up, partially nationalised, and partially integrated into the network specification itself. Only they are powerful enough to become a model for how to functionally disentangle their operations into public and private parts.

the only alternative is to break the centralisation of the web as china is doing and other BRICS nations intend to do, by creating ‘national internets’ which in some ways federate together and in other ways do not. I don’t like this model of development for the future of the internet but the security considerations of the present require this kind of approach.

the early plan for btc was to break the spine of central banking cartels and to eventually threaten the reserve status of the greenback. 2008 was still fresh in our minds, and back then it was fashionable to blame fiat currency and the pratcise of fractional reserve lending. The original ‘zeitgeist’ movie was a big influence on the whole scene.

Eventually people began to figure out that btc was most likely a vehicle for oligarchs and elites to shelter their assets from the next financial crash which killed the libertarian enthusiasm for the project. Now btc is exclusively for tech-bros and other finance-adjacent types just trying to personally enrich themselves.

i’m replaying final fantasy 6 with a retranslation i haven’t played before called ‘revised old style edition’. I’m still in the world of balance but so far the translation is a good compromise between the innacurate warmth of the woolsey script and the dry accuracy of the slattery script. So far it’s my favourite translation, and next up will be the newly translated ‘t-edition’ mod

This was my first thought too but unfortunately the app doesn’t play nice with grapheneOS

It was an almost perfect medium for sharing cooking videos and recipes, can anyone suggest a replacement?

Don’t worry I’ve already uninstalled it (months ago when Ellison bought a majority stake) but I haven’t found a replacement short-form video platform for recipes yet

Why not both?

a january 6 except for real? there would be some poetic justice in that particular imperial boomerang returning home. But nah your glow-agencies have probably gamed things out enough to avoid that. I’m thinking they keep doing damage control and limping along until a combination of natural disasters and geostrategic blowback makes things unmanageable for the elites who lack the foresight to abandon their sinking ship.

Rolling waves of general strikes have real potential also.

Progressives never really got their version of a tea-party, and occupy never really fulfilled its potential. It could be that a new popular force will emerge to replace MAGA which inherits from these unfinished projects.

Occupy would be especially salient given dedollarisation and the inevitable financial crash which will happen along the way. Even normies are expecting ai to crash and are watching gold prices lol

i understood your point very well. My point (which i deleted because other commenters had already made similar points and with more detail than i was planning) is that your example of a victory is in fact a loss.

Mumdani is a release valve to stop radical change from happening, a compatible liberal gatekeeper who will take the passion of his electorate and destroy it by a thousand disappointments.

He is a democrat, who surrounds himself with zionists. The only radical thing about him is his identity. He is a muslim Obama, a brown-face genderswapped AOC. He is there because of his identity and his vibes.

If Bernie had won Iowa and if the DNC was at all democratic in its internal processes (superdelegates, ticket-splitting, pied piper etc) then i would share some of your optimism for internal change. We don’t live in that world. A world where people like MTG are allowed to evolve beyond partisan lines, where Massie is able to defend his constitution…

I also don’t want to blackpill you guys into inaction, so i’ll finish this mostly redundant post by saying the american people seem ready for change. The numbers of people hitting the streets to fight ICE is inspiring, and a much more concrete reason to hope than a bunch of exhausted and politically illiterate new yorkers protest voting for a god damn fucking democrat.

you’d think that with the vast increase in prescription rates of SSRIs and other antidepressents, that there would be a commensurate reduction in population-wide depression. But no, if anything the more antidepressents are prescribed, the more general depression you get in the population. Same thing with suicide rates. This is correlation and not causation obviously, but it still suggests that antidepressents are not doing what they are advertised as doing.

I’ll just cut straight to the assertion, which seems obvious enough to not require more explanation.

Mental illness is not biologically determined. It is socially determined.

At best antidepressent prescriptions mask the underlying cause of symptoms. At. best.

plenty of nazis ended up in nasa, in the UN and in argentina

we need a butlerian jihad. I want smart humans and dumb machines again

this is hilarious
