All my comrades loathe Winston Churchill.

Nuclear subs are big for sure, but I think here it is the perspective.

For about two minutes. Anything more risks lethal brain cell damage.

Though it’s interesting to see a weird version of the “stab-in-the-back” myth being prepared.

You can tell because they both have red-white-and-blue flags.

Aeschylus, 485 BC:

I have mastery yet to chant the wonder at the wayside

given to kings. Still by God’s grace there surges within me

singing magic

grown to life and power,

how the wild bird-portent

hurled forth the Achaeans’

twin-stemmed power single hearted…

Alien Ant Farm, 2001:

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

The RETVRN memes write themselves, but old Sargon isn’t having any of it.

Like a bad penny or Richard Spenser, he keeps coming back.

Major freakout going on over at r/ukraine right now

Is the appeal of being a right-winger that you never have to mature past 13?

I remember that one British stuffed shirt lamenting that war was happening, not to Africans or Arabs this time, but instead to a people who were “relatively civilized, relatively European.” The racism was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Slava Ukraini? More like Slava U-cry-harder, bro.

There’s a whole lot of seething on r/ukraine:

Replace “Jewish” with “German” and “Palestinians” with “Jews,” and certain ideological resemblances become pretty clear.

The “Gondor calls for aid” bit? Count yourself lucky, then, you missed a series of (unpopular opinion incoming) pretty terrible movies.

The liberals have many abilities, some considered to be… unnatural.

Yeah, I thought the comparison of them to Bob Avakian and the RCP was pretty damning: going around swearing and acting tough while absolutely failing to build any connection with the working class. Though Bob Avakian’s people at least show up to events and do stuff in the real world. The accusations of ultraleftism were interesting as well. I’ve noticed among Haz & Co. a weird glorification of the Khmer Rouge, an attitude towards Russia which almost amounts to the Three Worlds theory, and a stated belief that a new American civil war is a necessary step toward socialism – all of which fit pretty well with the ultraleftist mindset. Perhaps this strain of “patriotic socialism” was always just “Maoists who happen to support modern China?”

“LARPers of all discord servers, unite! You have nothing to lose but your brain cells!”

Weren’t there attempts to create rainfall artificially in the 1950s? Which were stopped because none of the methods they tried really, you know, worked?

Nothing about Ukraine surprises me anymore. They are the reigning champions of cringe.

Get that shit in the bedroom and stop blocking my view of V.I. Lenin.
