i was at a far-right conference a few weeks ago and as far as i saw y'all's ~protest turnout~ was precisely zero
prog harder nooblords B)
apparently this is about guns now good thing i aint give a fucccc
the reason america is 'the most hated country in the world', whatever the hell that means, is its foreign policy. look at what's happening in syria: washington wanted to go in, wipe assad out (thus destabilizing the country completely), and then go "mission accomplished!!", pat itself on the back, and pull out while the country crumbles to shit, as happened in libya -- which under gaddafi was the second highest country in all of africa on the human development index, below only mauritius, a tiny island nation in the indian ocean over a thousand miles from the african mainland. not only is this not a good way to 'win hearts and minds', it's not in accord with international law -- whose strongest defender is now russia.
also the chemical weapons in syria were set off allegedly accidentally by rebel groups, not by the regime. the regime has stockpiles and i'm guessing one of the reasons usg went with the 'have john kerry float this policy as a joke and pray like hell it sticks' strategy was they wanted the stockpiles eliminated but it smells even funnier than that. no idea.
"but russia has those nasty laws against ngos and gays!!" well, yes, they would, wouldn't they. the point of the ngo regulations was not abababa stalinofascist restrictions on civil society!!!!! are the peoples of the former soviet union, serflike in temperament, allowing their democratic country to slip back into totalitarianism?? as the american media would have it; the point was that agencies with interests opposed to those of russia, and aligned with guess who, were operating russian ngos, attempting to influence russian politics. if any of you don't already know that the american government has been propping up pro-american, usually neoliberal movements all over the globe for decades then lmao
(they even did it here! the ~red scare~ was perfectly legitimate, every single one of the hollywood ten was a card-carrying member of the hollywood communist party, which, as communist parties did, took its orders from moscow. so i'm not talking about that. i'm talking about, for example, abstract expressionism. "look at those muscovite peasants with their socialist realism! *we* have *true* artistic freedom! look, a bunch of drug addicts slinging paint aimlessly at a canvas!" the ford foundation and so on were cia front groups. maybe they still are! ps guess who funds democracynow)
i don't know about the gay thing but given that human rights discourse is often a tool of american imperialism (read alain de benoist) i'm guessing that's what happened there. even in america gay marriage is essentially a liberal tool to beat their opponents over the head -- dictating to churches, photographers, bakers, and so on that they *cannot* refuse services to gays who want to get married. it's dick-waving. fuck you, we have power.
do any of you have evidence that the introvert/extrovert dichotomy has any grounding whatsoever in scientific fact?
myers-briggs is unsubstantiated pop-scientistic bullshit and that's where it comes from -- aided by the 'introvert' slave-morality, you know, actually it's *better* to be an introvert because we're *above* the *peasants* and we're *smart* and read *books* while everyone else is watching jersey shore and getting fake tans and going to parties and socializing and being happy abababa i'm not like other girls bababababa why does no one love me
lol at neoliberal co-optation of identity politics
ofc the irony there is that said co-optation will demonstrate in the end that capitalism *can* coexist with 'toleration' of the groups bougie marxoteens care about, and once that happens everyone else will be pushed even further to the margins while said bougies dig even further for even smaller groups to bother neoliberalism into 'tolerating' so they can continue to fail spectacularly at class analysis. maybe they'll repeat what they did in the 60s and go back to doing a big loud care about teh rights of pedophiles
and lord only knows what effect the co-optation will have on the exurban proletariat, who now define their politics only in opposition to whatever goes on in elite circles, partially because they don't have time for analysis and have next to no academic resources anyway and partially because they know *something* is wrong but don't know *what* and, well, i may be a totalitarian extremist or whatever but the Sane Centrist analysis that the tea party is a scream of inarticulate rage is 100% correct, though the conclusions to be drawn are exactly the opposite of the conclusions they draw
that's not the question you asked but that's what neoliberal etc etc of the sort exemplified here (and vodka companies marketing themselves with rainbow flags and so on) will lead to. to answer the question you asked: i really don't care what they do
I forgot the password to my old account and I don't think I ever changed the email address I registered it with. Unless I did change it and forgot, the email address no longer exists. Any way I can get that back other than keep guessing?
The address is on Yahoo; I tried to re-register it, but it gave me some bullshit about this username is not available, then tried to log in and it said the name was too old and got 'recycled'.
anyone who remembers me from 2008 should know how much fucking irony there is in this, if only i'd used hotmail lmao
nothing. why bother when i can just yeek some accounts?
