no; you’re thinking of ska.

I don’t get the sea shanties.

wow, comparing my thus far perfect driving to farts. ruuuuude. anyway, I should be able to do genetic experiments on human embryos because im pretty sure I won’t fuck it up, because I do not identify as a fuckup. have you ever thought of just not identifying as a fuckup?

it felt, like, complete, but im genuinely shocked it got as many seasons as it did, not being dog shit. feels like that or ‘stranger things’ was the last thing to slip through.

but I can only take ‘stranger things’ on others’ word; never got into it myself.

you should be able to play all the netflix content you need on pretty much any system. here’s a community for troubleshooting that.

it will not, however, get you a second season of anything worth watching. nothing can do that.

this woman is an HIV researcher, which I think is a step or two harder than ‘old hippie’.

Given her age, it’s reasonable to assume she didn’t just become an AIDS researcher in 2015 and finish out her carreer or whatever. this woman has already been on the front lines of a genocide. remember, there wasn’t initially funding for HIV research, so this woman has done the not-evil version of “fuck the rules, im doing science.” on people she probably had to have human relationships with, who were probably in-on-it and absolutely comrades, and watched a statistically significant (because it needed to be, for the results to be useful, and that was the whole point) number of them die, possibly while knowing everything she and the rest of her team/org/whatever were doing was an incredible long shot.

that really is how those subhuman scum talk; my first tell was seeing women as at least hypothetically equals, and the fact the profile pic just looks like a normal guy who hasn’t been dipped in grease or made very shiny.

FUCK THESE DYSTOPIAN ANTI FREEDOM TYRANTS.

if I’m good enough, maybe they’ll will want to marry me so I can move someplace 25% less dystopian.

it’s not where it should be, but it’s a hell of a lot less fucked than the dystopian shit hole I live in.

okay but like what if I’m really sure I’m special, and have no concept of it not being fine? and besides I’m a great driver, so you’re actually bad for insulting me with a speed limit. how dare you. besides; it’s probably fine.

to clarify: shannon entropy not thermodynamic entropy, which is kind of the opposite?

i hate language sometimes.

I think it will succeed at buying them time to build their doom bunkers without us doing a revolution, and then retreat into them.

they’ll die in there. closed systems don’t work and these people cannot cope with, much less manage, ecology, but we’ll die first. no shortcuts for those lazy good-for-nothing assholes who would rather just skip over the part where the living envy the dead and maybe miss out on human extinction. can’t half ass these things.

yeah, you need to kill more of the nazis. you always need to kill more of the nazis. you need to keep killing the nazis until they aren’t nazis anymore.

yes but you can’t allow anyone to be wrong ever

yes, always try for better, but this purity bullshit is not helpful.

clear cut enemy

I dunno, a lot of the nazis around my part of the world are pretty visible. they look like the least fun dudes ever going to a gay leather event, or the obsessively clean cut white guy in a boring shirt. I mean, you won’t get all of them like that, but they do like themselves a uniform, even without an army. like, the burning cross nazis and the swastika nazis and the militia-bro nazis that kind of straddle the line all dress different, but they’re all pretty obvious.

yeah it’s sick. it’s not AI, but it will destroy the world. I kinda think that’s the point of it.

you’re not going to figure it out arguing on social media. there are people I would love to have this argument with, but you aren’t one of them yet.

spiritual

no such thing.

solipsism

movement in that direction is present a lot of places. do you know what the word means?

worth

can’t unmix the drink, babe. sometimes, the best solution is a bullet. once you get past a certain point nazi, you cannot become a human again.

scholars have suggestions beyond violence

yeah, and they all boil down to ‘prevention’ and debates over the amount of violence once you fail to do literally any prevention. once you hit a critical mass of nazis, you gotta kill the nazis. they can’t be cured. my perspective doesn’t precisely match any of them, but once you get to this point, all the options other than violence are already off the table. ask me a decade ago, maybe there’s another way out. but the hour is fucking late, dude.

he was instrumentalized by nazis because he used one word they liked, and had vibes they wanted to appropriate, and knew their people wouldn’t actually read it-except his sister/editor, who absolutely became a nazi a couple decades after his death, as soon as that was a thing that you could be. he actually explicitly dismissed the underlying (and extremely silly) basis of the master race thing in one of his books, despite dying in the year 1900. basically saying ‘your virtue comes not from your ancestry, not from the past, but by working your ass off to build and become more than you were. don’t be a little bitch who hides in other peoples accomplishments, real or imagined.’ the phrasing in the translation I read was something like ‘we are the hyperboreans, you and I, reader, who endeavor to somethingorother’ and it would take so much education on popular batshit 19th century estoteric racist cope to explain that one line to you, like one of those weird references in a jane austen novel that you need to either be of the time or a historian or a complete no-life nerd to get, and it’s absolutely not worth it unless you like learning about just how dumb europeans were at the time, but it is also explicitly the basis of the whole ‘aryan master race’ thing, which he explicitly calls bullshit on decades before the concept of fascism, or the war that birthed it, was a glimmer in d’anunzio’s eye, by saying that, basically, you get cool new stuff with hard work and intellectual courage, not jacking off to your grandpa’s high school photos. I think it’s in either “beyond good and evil” or “the antichrist” (neitzsche was not a fan of blood cults) if you want to read more. he WAS a 19th century elitist painfully german asshole, and he does explicitly state that he’s hard to read on purpose. so take what he says with some salt, but there’s good stuff in there.

it’s part of how fascists consume information. you skim and look for the stuff that confirms what you already believe, no matter how much you need to contort cherry pick or cut out whole paragraphs between words or just totally misremember stuff. it’s solipsistic as fuck. by design, if you’ve ever read the shitty book the german government put hitler up in a castle to write.

the punching in this context is a metaphor for shooting, as I said. it’s a whole identity thing about being the winners. I’m personally of the opinion that leaving ugly survivors is better than clean corpses, but I think enough of either would do the trick, and I’m not sure which is easier, being, as I concluded earlier today, reverse miyamoto musashi-bad at violence, great at skin care.

sure, you could try appeasing them, or soft approaches, but they’ve hit a critical mass where, if that were ever possible, it certainly no longer is. they need to be killed. they are solipsists, they have no concept of truth, and they don’t see you as human. they have made themselves into subhuman things that cannot be reasoned with, because they have no more reason. they cannot be negotiated with, because they do not live in the same reality as you. they cannot even be held to a treaty, because they do not have a conception of ‘truth’ or you-as-person; it does not and can not exist in their totalizing world view, which is hostile to contradictory information. it’s kind of terrifying that a person can become so entirely not a person anymore without substantial damage to bodily function. if you want to understand fascism, there are several scholars to start on. arendt is a popular one, if you don’t want to get too commie (and if you do, you already have favorites). if you want something absolutely shitlib friendly, ecco isn’t completely wrong even if he has to avoid describing a lot of it so he doesn’t have to look in any mirrors, but please read more than his 14 points.

this is literally a response to someone who said hating nazis was bad because they saw a movie about cyborg ninja alien space wizard samurai with laser swords shooting lightning at each other.

so, like, some compensation is definitely warranted. remains to be seen if I overshot.

please don’t try to learn this on social media. read an actual long-form book. you will not understand this based on social media interactions; I promise you. social media is not for learning beyond the most shallow surface information. it’s for light dopamine release and doom scrolling while you get your mind shredded by influence ops from all (but mostly fasch) directions and indulge your worst mental illnesses.

it’s adaptable because it’s small enough to fit anywhere. it’s about power at the top, and obedience/never admitting you’re wrong/being the winner at the bottom. they don’t believe in anything, and while the set dressing may change; the scene itself does not.

I’m pretty sure they were based on books. I could be wrong.

problematic is not the same as nazi. as demonstrated by many of our (great) grandfathers, who killed a whole buncha nazis, and generally believed killing nazis was cool and good, but were still massively racist homophobic transphobic misogynist assholes. again, you can call me whatever slurs you want, as long as you’re shooting nazis in the head while you do.
