    ukraine is a pawn used to push nato expantionism (lets remember it was founded by nazis, and its a warmongering coallition), simoultaneously the country is being sold for pennies to western capital so massive debt and lack of national industry (just like in argentina!) and to feed the imilitary industrial complex and isolate the west from russia and other global south countries







  • the difference is in scale and tone, the us hired and put these people in positions of power, a lot ended up working in nasa and were never treated as second class citizens. the soviet program instead was characterized by forced relocation, isolation and eventual repatriation. they were essebtially assetts, not your buddy from the office. they were literally taken at gun point as war repatriations, and never held any meaningful positions of power, were not integrated into russian society like they did on the west. but what would you know about this, if youd never even had the chance of running an anarchist society or whatever u ppl “theorize”













  • that is not even the case. in most marxist leninist states former imperial/royalist army officials were either kept because of greater forces, purged, or entirely dismantled through the ongoing period of revolution/guerrilla warfare. im not going to say it never happened but it’s not like you shouldn’t treat former (to say the least) participants in war crimes against the proletariat with nothing but the ultimate suspicion.




  • the same happens in development with minimalism. for some reason it’s the standard even among gnuhards, literally everything is black and as little expression as possible. there’s these android drawers which literally show apps as a list of text with no icon. yeah, that’s exactly what i want to see, so beautiful… or if you browse unixporn, you’ll see most hyprland/niri whatever rices are gnome… i think we should definitely start to take a few lessons from the 2000’s school of design. most defintely there were shitty thing, and code minimalism is good. but the user has so very little agency in the expression of how their software looks nowadays that’s sad.
