  • Referencing 200 year old history in a random speech is not a war goal any more than a random Ukrainian with an American flag and a history book talking about the American independence war is actualy inspiration for Ukraine’s stand against Russia.

    “There is no state in between. A country is either sovereign or a colony,” he said.

    Where is the lie? He is absolutely correct here, not because he is a Marxist or understands imperialism lol, he just stumbles upon the correct take because it is absolutely obvious to every global south country. Ukraine is not a sovereign country under any measure. Certainly without western help during this war it wouldn’t even be a country anymore amid total economic and social collapse.








  • I’m not sure if regular libs have been migrating to Lemmy leaving only the worst posters or if they are just becoming shittier.

    Oh it is pretty clear now libs were never going to actually support real climate activism in the long run, anything that actualy threatens to disrupt their comfortable lives and treats.

    I think also its just the fact any real climate action is inherently against the liberal democracy that continues to fail despite constantly promising e.g all the climate accords. The libs will naturally see protests against this inaction as a protest against democracy therefore everyone will be declared eco-fascists/tankies or worse.



  • Respectfuly, it is painful to read shit like this from uninformed people.

    Here try googling this “Ukraine counter offensive goal crimea before:2023-07-01”(without quotes), just 3 random examples.

    Zelensky signaled Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russia is underway. Here’s what to expect

    In terms of its goals, Kyiv has consistently said that it wants to recapture all of the territory controlled by Russia. In an address earlier this year Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that included Crimea.

    “It is not an intention, it is our land. Crimea is our sea and our mountains,” Zelensky said.

    Ukraine ‘ready’ to talk to Russia on Crimea if counteroffensive succeeds lol lmao

    Ukraine’s counteroffensive: Goals, opportunities, risks

    In September 2022, in his only programmatic paper so far, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Lieutenant General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi offered only a rough sketch of how a Ukrainian counteroffensive might look. In the paper, he spoke of “several resolute, ideally simultaneous counterattacks.” One strategically crucial target Zaluzhnyi mentioned was the Crimean peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014. In Kyiv, all agree this is the main direction Ukraine should focus its efforts. But they are also expecting surprises and deceptive maneuvers. Many, however, doubt Ukraine has enough equipment and fighting power to regain the peninsula.

    Even western media tried to downplay it casting doubt from the beginning but the point I highlight is undeniably the planned goal was not achieved and it wont be achieved. Everyone would call that a failure.

    But even the fucking Nazis can’t agree on their own narrative and they’re just coping now

    Ukraine counteroffensive creeps ahead, measured in blood exactly 2 months ago, July 1st 2023

    Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the counteroffensive was “slower than desired”, without getting too specific. Ukraine says it has recaptured a cluster of villages in operations that liberated 130 square km (50 square miles) in the south, but this is a small percentage of the total territory held by Russia.

    Go tell Zelensky to shut the fuck up, oh wait.





  • I guess I have a low bar but TNG Q episodes were all very funny, Deja Q if I were to say #1.

    I’m an atheist though so I wont get scared by ghosts/horror stuff, but I guess the “worst feeling” moment was actualy TNG Best of Both worlds. I think the realization that the doomsday scenario is actually coming, it is real and inevitable, our chances are extremely low, the very moody soundtrack made it a very sober experience for me the first few times I watched it.


  • In Trek we were lucky that our little corner had friendly/tolerable aliens and specifically that it was the Vulcan first contact.

    Unfortunately in our reality we are 99.99999% for sure alone and the end result of all that suffering, if we manage to achieve near FTL travel we will just devolve into some nihilistic hyper capitalism, those stupid articles “this asteroid is worth 1 trillion USD in minerals” are already being published unironically.


  • I wasn’t too bothered about tech bros shanking each other in name of ethics in tech YouTubing.

    That is a weird way to try and sound superior and dismissive about the original issue(GN video), like I too couldn’t care less about the smol cute business shit behind that waterblock company but even then the psychopathic behavior behind pretending you have an agreement, then screwing it up, then auctioning it and then still having the narcissism of “we auctioned not sold it” BS alone is enough to put him out of any serious business for life and honestly probably even legal action.

    It was far beyond just “drama”.
