I actually like going to france? I seem to be the only person. I also like speaking the language. It is a fun one, very melodic.

This is an extremly fascinating piece of nedia, I only ever knew these for the football world coup, or the like. Did they sell these to children?

It's the clishee of americans asking other people if they have electricity and cars, but internally applied.

Armenia is where Brits go to learn persian, they are excluded from Iran, and I guess Tajikistan is too "exotic" for them or something (CIA goons go to tajikistan, if you meet an ami, with a tajik accent in his persian, you know why). So they go to Yerevan, have the "orient lite" experience, and learn persian from iranian teachers.

It is why all of those academic programs to yerevan are so expensive, because the british upper class/junior spies go there.

Yerevan itself is a lovely city, an beautiful example of soviet urban architecture. Outside of the big cities the country becomes very poor from what I have seen.

PSN is not available globally. People can't play the game, also suddenly altering a contract is garbage.

tbf, that was usually shortened to flak, or in this case Gebrigsflak

This is only a legislative map (circles) of the HRE, not a territorial one. Which used to be different things, back in the day. Each circle had an imperial court of law. Which was responsible for disputes in that circle.

Because we live in a society and are social animals. The only way to achieve something big is by cooperating with other people. Big groups of people working together are able to achieve amazing things. Individuals cannot even really built a modern house,by themselves. It is a collective societal effort that allows for modern homes to be constructed( for example).

Yeah, I spent too many words to say "This is a bad idea, don't do it" tbh

What tge person in the post there is doing isn't working. Replacing the names in a way that still provides the same context(which is your proposal) would need you to understand exactly why each name is used each time, it is more exhausting than just learning the names. The translation also left the names in place, they didn't try to translate it, because that is a ludicrous idea. I am not sure it is possible.

How are you going to edit the name usage out of a book exactly? It has a meaning, you can't replace it at all, really. It's not context you can provide otherwise.

Is there enough family guy for that kind of consumption, or does he watch it endlessly on repeat?

Engaging with the cultural context of a classic novel is part of reading it. Of course it can be difficult, but it is a russian piece of literature. It is an integral part of what it is, on a conceptual level. If you take that away you have a fundamentally different work. What's the poin then? This is not about ability, at least I don't think so, there is a glossary is there after all(in the better translations at least).

Like, I agree, fuck the names of obscure political groups from a hundred years ago. Outside of specific contexts they are generally not needed for understanding the theory. But theory is not a narrative novel.

They get a chance, outside of their fascist society, what they do with it is their business. It's not guaranteed, it requires the work from them. But they are still fundamentally human, denying others humanity is never right. You can possibly be unworthy, but you can't stop being human. We are all people, from the day we are born, to the day that we die. Saying that others can be inherently lesser than me is something I refuse to do.

Every human live lost to hate is an unimaginable waste, each of these warcriminals could have been a good person,they aren't, of course. But in a better world, they could have been.

It is not, and never was, about tolerating their actions and believes, be more careful when reading before becoming needlesly aggressive, please.

People should be given a chance to grow and change(not where it can harm others), I do believe redmeption is possible, and that humanity is not something you can loose.

It's nice for historical purposes though, exact sourcing is just very good praxis, when writing any theory.

A novel is not a piece of political theory. The aims are different, also russian naming conventions are more complex than english ones.

Also I believe on should try and actually engage with the cultural context of a piece of art(the novel) and not just to actively remove it. Why read russian literature then?

It is not that difficult, because there are contexts to each use, and they are consistent between characters as well. It is not always easy as well, but if you have the attention span to read Dosteyevski, you have it to remember some naming conventions as well.

I would go by people that drink alcohol and people that don't. Or how they eat their eggs. Or height, one room is comically large and one is very small.
