That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.

  • But you are trying to make something bad look good. Mao is a bad person. He is a mass murder, an authoritarian. Good things can and should be achieved without mass murder.

    Their opposition to NATO expansion is just another facet of their support for genocidal imperialism because they know that being in NATO makes it much less likely that russians will invade. The “US greater evil” is all BS. If they truely believed that they would move to russia or china. But they don’t, they LARP as communists while stuffing their mouths with Big Macs and playing US-developed video games (in which they try to role play their imperialist fantasies).

    For example, looking at the upvotes on this comment from Lemmygrad’s world news, it’s clear that they feel sympathy for Ukraine. There are individuals, like this commenter, who suggest bombing Ukraine, but the comment is downvoted.

    Really, this is best you could find? You’re really grasping at straws here. How is this a proxy war? Russian literally invaded my country. This is a russian genocidal invasion. If the Americans forced everyone in a hypothetically annexed Basra to eat tex-mex pork chops and banned Arabic and sent anyone caught speaking it to torture camps, you wouldn’t call it genocidal imperialism? Just war, right?

    I asked you some clear and direct questions and you come up with BS? Do you even believe what you are writing or are you just essentially shitposting?

    We both know they actively support and cheer on the russian invasion. In an explicit and genuine manner. They want russia to be successful in its invasion of Ukraine. They want Ukrainian speakers in the occupied territories to be sent to torture camps. It is not difficult to say the russians were wrong to invade and it is wrong to commit atrocities and torture people (instead of just blaming Ukraine for mobilization).

    Why should I not hate them for this? Why shouldn’t I want them to meet the same fate as the “Donbas Cowboy”, Russell Bentley? Just imagine what was going through his mind in his last moments - must have a been a true moment of clarity. I want them to achieve that same that same level of clarity.

    Can you explain this to me? You keep ignoring this point.



  • Then why are you white-washing Mao’s atrocities? Surely, if you think the death and absurd brutality (cultural revolution?) is not good thing, you would support movements and leaders who don’t engage in such conducts.

    Come on now. Don’t play dumb.

    They openly support and cheer for the Russian invasion? Why would I not hate them for this?

    Show me an example of them condemning russian atrocities. Just one. I shouldn’t hate people who white-wash russian crimes and claim they never happened?

    Show me an example of them recognizing Ukrainian self-determination? One shouldn’t hate people who want you to be a colony of the shithole that is russia?

    Where is the strawman?

    One would have to be a genocidal imperialist to state that a country should not have the right to aspire to join NATO (especially if you border russia).

    Try speaking Ukrainian in the occupied territories or opening a Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

    No, you just want to white wash russian crimes and the degenerates at Lemmygrad.

    For example, when the US invaded Iraq, did they do the following:

    • Annex Basra and make it a new state
    • Ban Arabic in Basra and send anyone who is using it to a torture camp
    • Steal local children to continental US and force them to recite American national polemics
    • Ban Iraqi citizens from using any public services in the newly annexed Basra and force them to get US citizenship.

  • I think Andreessen is lying and the “techno optimist manifesto” is a ruse for PR.

    a16z has been involved in various crypto pump and dumps. They are smart enough to know that something like “play to earn” is not sustainable and always devolves into a pyramid scheme. Doesn’t stop them from getting in early and dumping worthless tokens on the marks.

    The manifesto honestly reads like it was written by a teenager. The style, the tone, the excessive quotes from economists. This is pretty typical stuff for American oligarch polemics, no?































  • He is an admin of lemmygrad. A cesspool of degenerate LARPers that support genocidal imperialism.

    Mao is a mass murderer and an authoritarian. If you support him, you are white washing his crimes. You do understand that good things can be achieved without mass killings and implementing an authoritarian, one party state? Difficult stuff, I know!

    No, they support the killing of Ukrainians and extermination of Ukrainian identity. They support interment of ten of thousands of Ukrainian civilians in russian torture camps. They support the destruction of the Ukraine as a nation and Ukrainian cultural identity.

    It is fair and just to want such vile individuals to get a taste of their own medicine.

    The NATO expansion stuff is a ruse. NATO expansion is determined by national self-determination; especially when your neighbour is a country where a strong majority of the population are genocidal imperialist.
