The Ukrainian air force said the missile was fried from the Russian region of Astrakhan, more than 700 km (435 miles) from Dnipro in central-eastern Ukraine. It did not specify what kind of warhead the missile had or what type of missile it was. There was no suggestion it was nuclear-armed.

Shit I'm too late to the party, but Banjo Tooie soundtrack runs through my mind constantly. Glitter Gulch Mine was my shit you ever heard a donkey used as an instrument? Well now you have

You didn't do an analogy. You just used Pussy as a demeaning phrase in a way relevant to how women are stereotyped, namely, as 'weak'. We have a problem of misogyny on Hexbear, don't contribute to it. The SPD are spineless and visionless assholes. Look at that phrase, full of alliteration.

Just call them spineless, no misogyny here. It's not even more useful or descriptive. Although the lack of 3 symbols makes me slightly doubtful of what you intended to say.

It's like the US's response to the Iranian "SpongeBob critique" was "Nuh uh, we have tv grifters who really exist, too"

Are those the ghosts haunting europe on the right?

I wasn't criticizing you or your joke or something, your joke was funny. Just wanted to highlight how funny it is that the only unrealistic part was China's response. The rest is sadly believable.

I think the most unrealistic part of this is that China retaliates with military force to sanctions. The rest is much more believable lol

And the Losurdo is possibly my favorite of his. Liberalism, A Counter History was good but I was already anti-Liberal and really deep into theories of Liberalism, so it felt more like just a lot of good examples for arguments than learning tons of new things. And his Stalin book was great, but I think it pails in comparison to Class Struggle. It's just so we'll put together, coherent, and takes people's works in a way which holistically understands the person's philosophy and analyses that I think should be our way forward for historical works. I love it

Yeah, I definitely can't recite much of Decolonial Marxism between the first few sections up until the pedagogy section. But understanding how the analysis takes a Marxist form of analysis and applies it to a history I'm not familiar enough with was still very useful to me. Seemed like a lot of repeats of "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" at points. But honestly, that book is so good, he shouldve been allowed to write it 5 times in different words, so I can't complain

Rereading Class Struggle by Losurdo. Great book. The first 1/4th is like the perfect position on how class struggle is an inclusive movement, and that those who yell "class reductionist" to Marxists are missing the point. The relationship between struggles is so interesting as presented (and of course, as it really is because Losurdo is a awesome)

Also reading Decolonial Marxism by Rodney. The pedagogy part has been a powerful insight into one aspect of colonial subjugation

Good question, I would also love to know if any more information was divulged/came out. I honestly just forgot about it

I read this article a while ago, super useful. The entire time, the author was wrestling with very real conditions, with material reality, but had such an obvious idealistic position with respect to social conditions that it was honestly funny to read. The conclusions about DEI honestly just came from nowhere, with absolutely no reason, in the middle of an article that could otherwise be considered good analysis.

But this is what happens when investors want to know realistically what's happening: the advisors aren't going to lie because that will hurt their business. So they do a good analysis. But a step further (the 'and why is it so') is just nonsense again

link to the guardian about Amsterdam last week

genuinely surprised that the guardian is still talking about this as the original framing falls apart. Still not a good article, but some super surprising admittances to find here.

I can't open the link for some reason? Is this a bilibili thing? Or is it banned in some countries? I just enter a loading loop it seems
