"You'll never find another girl like me" and shes the most built fighter jet in history 😭

every time i see portraits of lenin like this i think of the langston hughes poem

The concept of each race painting Lenin to look like them, like people do with Jesus.

Heartwarming, someone found a way to give their switch 2 a game

I often think of this passage from Lenin’s text on Tolstoy and the labor movement: "Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle." We rarely see the other parts of that paragraph. "Despair is typical of the classes which are perishing,” Lenin writes. "The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes." Lenin was writing about the labor movement, and the objective historical process that saw it rise and replace the peasantry as the dominant force in Russia. The peasantry was gripped by despair because its class no longer had a future. The proletariat, by contrast, was growing in strength and number. Today, Lenin’s insight also holds true of the streets of Iran, where people mobilize by the millions under bombardment. It is true of the communes in Venezuela, whose militants continue the task of building socialism and are prepared to take up arms to defend it. It is true of the people of Cuba, who remain defiant under a crushing blockade that has turned their cities dark. Those who despair now — as a new world is being born — are really just mourning the death of liberalism. They are mourning the death of a world that never existed: a world of supposed lawfulness and “rules-based” governance. Anyone who has ever earnestly tried to bring a new world into being quickly learned that these were fictions created to secure impunity for the colonizer and oppressor. That is why we find that people on the vanguard of the systemic transition underway — as with the labor movement in Lenin’s time — “have plenty to protest against but nothing to despair about.”

if you ever see me retweet hot furries this is my reason

this is unironically one of the greatest quotes ever

His books were readily available to read in USSR. They were studied as any ideologies would be studied. There is a great story Michael Parenti used to tell about a trip he took to USSR. He was with a bunch of American academics, who had been talking down on the Soviets and the censorship they guessed they had been under. When one of them asked a Soviet academic which western theorists he’d read, he rattled off a long list, which both Friedman and Hayek were on. The Soviet then asked the American which Soviet theorists he’d been able to read. And the American couldn’t list a single one. That story is a perfect encapsulation of how real, effective censorship works. You’re not outright forbidden to read. You are, instead, gaslit into it with billions of dollars worth of propaganda, information marginalization, distortion, and lies. This is why you still find people today who believe in cartoons, rather than simply opening their eyes and looking at the real world, who retreat into safe abstractions rather than face the cold, hard reality that we are the most propagandized, socially engineered, and brain washed people in history.

The narrative in the Backrooms is so much stronger than people are giving credit

when he admits he doesn't want to change and that he would like to stay in the complex. I take it as a metaphor of being "stuck", stunted mentally by whatever trauma/memories are weighing you down. The complex is just a physical manifestation of that. He'll never move forward

mild spoilers based on promos . . . . . The Backrooms portraying nostalgia and being stuck in the past as something sickly, dreadful and even monstrous, was so good You will look at that christmas tree and feel sick, and then there's the dinner scene... #backrooms
