Ah yes, as if anarchism, liberalism, libertarianism or really any other human ideology and methodology centered entirely on egoism don’t engender some strange communal cargo cult behavior. It’s almost as though they too are full of shit?

It is funny to believe in ‘self-determination’ when you can’t even recognize that all the important decisions have already been made for you. It is rich to pretend to fight against the nihilist when you only believe in yourself. So go egoist, live your life as you please, blissfully unaware that you are just as stuck the very herd of individuality that we all find ourselves in.

So I read through his links. There isn’t a citation to any of these interviews (a necessity for actual academic journalism) to make sure things aren’t being taken out of context. The first document even says that “North Korean experts disagree with these things because they view North Korea through the lens of their propaganda.” And even then there are only three uncited interviews, one which is obviously an absolutely outrageous lie that breaking the frame of a photo of Kim Jon Il while polishing it is grounds for the execution of an entire family.

For context, the atrocities of the Pinochet regime are backed up by literally hundreds of recorded, cited interviews, some even by guards who participated in the violence admitting their culpability years later (though usually with the excuse that they weren’t the ones committing the mass rape, etc.).

This is nothing. This is unsubstantial.

Hog out or log out.

People would absolutely watch this, you just shouldn’t over-expose them to Terry Crews like they did with Dwayne Johnson.

Interesting. I have been doing a fair amount of Stalin reading recently, both about the man and by the man (though I find myself a mix of in favor, at odds and then sympathetic), so I might look into it abit further. That being said, I can’t imagine being a hardline Stalinist, so many of the policies that he championed in the Central Committee were policies of necessity, and then dealing with the aftermath of those policies of necessity (the consequences of which are often exaggerated, but still not great) that I don’t think a blanket support of him is necessarily a good thing (though laying the blame entirely at his feet is just as flawed, if not more so).

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

I’m going to be honest here I have seen less copious and comprehensive notes from Maoists, what a fucking saga.

It’s a either a shame or a joy that despite being an online guy, I still have zero idea what a Hoxhaist is outside of bunker memes.

I’m sorry, as a Midwesterner I need to know the story of Wisconcom.
