wow you noticed that? haha thanks, it felt weird drawing a single red dot, like you're making a mistake or something... kinda wild how even one pixel can add depth.
you see they'd love to tip like normal decent human beings but pushes up glasses by operating as-if they are selfish narcissistic assholes, they can eventually use all the money they saved by not being decent normal people to cure all of society's ails
this is not an exaggeration in any way btw, they actually believe this
i remember the lecture i decided to ignore and instead see if i could figure out the golden ratio just knowing a golden rectangle could be subdivided into another golden rectangle + a perfect square. it took me basically the whole class and that was just simple algebra and substitution, the shit you're talking about may as well be heiroglyphs to me
reporting back: after visiting four different local bookstores and not being able to find it anywhere, i caved and just ordered it through the last store i visited. sadly i'm too tired from working doubles all week to even look at it right now.
but i was able to find murray bookchins post-scarcity anarchism for $2, so that was pretty neat.
I mean, I'm kinda surprised Jon doesn't even point out the obvious provocation of the prospect of Ukraine joining a hostile anti-Russian military alliance that would put hypersonic nuclear missiles 5 minutes from Moscow. Like, literally right on the Russian border.
Uh -- let's entertain a hypothetical in which one of the US's neighboring countries decided to join a hostile military alliance that put nukes 5 minutes off the US coast. Oh right, that happened! We responded by invading, trying to assassinate their democratically elected president, and then we blockeded, sanctioned and starved them for generations.
Why not point out that Putin is literally doing what any US president would do, except, like... not nearly as barbaric?
crazy that this technology could be used to free humanity from wage slavery, but naturally, instead we've been put in a zero sum contest with the tech to drive down the cost of labor.
its too bad the rest of his manifesto beyond the first line is borderline incomprehensible, ideologically.
that first line though. shit goes hard.
edit: just realized the first line of a manifesto is probably the only one people will remember. "a specter is haunting Europe..." and "the industrial revolution and its consequences..." are probably too of the most memorable lines of any political text i can remember.
