Imagine sending your super troopers into the Jungle to train for the 1st time, and you’re hypothetically up against Venezuelans/ maybe even Colombian forces in their hometurf who’ve been training for decades in guerilla tactics. It would be Vietnam 2.0 all over.

I got perma-banned (again) on reddit for sharing a screenshot from the RNN telegram. The picture was literally just saying that Israel broke a ceasefire a month ago, and that was deemed “related to terrorist activity”.

Thank you for your energy, comrade. I hope you can live in peace.

Did Caesar succeed or fail? What were the progressive classes at the time? The small landowners? The proletarii? Did the roman economic system change between before he came to power and after he came to power? If he did fail, what would have success look like? How did the roman class system survive for several hundred years after him, if the class system didn’t change?

I guess Caesar failed in that he didn’t change Rome into a more democratic system, but that was the limitation of working within the system. Proletarii, veterans, small landowners, freed slaves were amongst some of the forces on Caesar’s side. Caesar was able to get in a number of reforms like land distribution, funding public works, taxing the rich, tenant relief, etc. Caesar was a reformist, albeit a good one (subjective). Ol boy just flew too close to the sun, and the senate assassinated because he was eroding their power.

Horrifying for the US maybe

I, for one, am shocked that Mr Trump would so such a thing

I don’t have an issue with the idea behind this stuff, but man, these mfs would rather engineer microbes instead of actually addressing the issue of capitalism

It looks like Nepal just “elected” a new leader via a discord vote of 5000 people (total pop. 30 Million). How this is even viewed as a legitimate means of selecting a leader is beyond me.

Yes, that discord app.

I didn’t even know he was sick

35 is about what a Tesla can run you these days, so it’s not crazy uncompetitive, but there are cars like Chevy Bolts which have had an average sale of 26 recently. Though a bolt is supposed to be the bottom of the bottom in terms of price but also specs for an EV.

I regret even skimming through the wikipedia

psst psst psst, what did they say?

edit: Oop, I just realized the article was the response. Thanks for tracking that down!

Aime Cesare put it quite well:

“Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the removed of Africa”
