Are you saying it’s nonfalsifiable that the cake was a lie?

Spicy autocomplete can produce much more content much faster than we can, and it is consuming its own content now. What could go wrong?

Don’t be a lib: supply the broken link.

Here is some of my list of pre-invasion articles.

• BBC, 2014: Ukraine underplays role of far right in conflict
• AP, 2014: Airstrike in eastern Ukraine kills 11 civilians
• Human Rights Watch, 2014: Ukraine: Unguided Rockets Killing Civilians
• The Hill, 2017: The reality of neo-Nazis in Ukraine is far from Kremlin propaganda
• The Guardian, 2017: 'I want to bring up a warrior': Ukraine's far-right children's camp – video
• WaPo, 2018: The war in Ukraine is more devastating than you know
• Reuters, 2018: Ukraine’s neo-Nazi problem
• The Nation, 2019: Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the March in Ukraine
• openDemocracy, 2019: Why Ukraine’s new language law will have long-term consequences

.
A few “we created this” articles:

• Reuters, 2014: Leaked audio reveals embarrassing U.S. exchange on Ukraine, EU
• Truthout, 2015: The Ukraine Mess That Nuland Made
• Jacobin, 2022: A US-Backed, Far Right–Led Revolution in Ukraine Helped Bring Us to the Brink of War
• Consortium News, 2022: Evidence of US-Backed Coup in Kiev

.
Some larger context articles:

• History of Fascism in Ukraine Part I: The Origins of the OUN 1917-1941
• History of Fascism in Ukraine Part II: The OUN during World War 2, 1941-1945
• History of Fascism in Ukraine Part III: 1944-1963 UPA War, Ratlines, and the Assassination of Stepan Bandera
• History of Fascism in Ukraine Part IV: The Global OUN Network in Exile, 1962-1992
• The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It

They really did go from five month squeaky-clean modlog to permaban in one thread.

My wife and cat react the exact same way. Will we ever understand their mysterious ways?

Σσσσσς balls

Oh. I was only aware of the other Breunig. Being a staff writer for The Vertlartnic is sufficient scarlet letter for me, thanks.

Lucky for me I arrived fashionably late. Thank you for terraforming the place for me o7

I don’t visualize my users naked but as dorky turbolibs like this.

I'm learning that this place will excuse anything

Okay, I’ll copypasta myself again:

Honest question from a non-communist, based on your reply here. Does one need to support Putin to be a Marxist?

In a word, no. In a few more words, support for Russia (not Putin, as historical materialists don’t subscribe to great man theory) is only a partial, temporary, tactical one, in the context of imperialist liberation. Russia is still a capitalist state, though, so it’s a two stage strategy: first liberate colonized bourgeois states from colonizer states, and second revolution within those liberated bourgeois states.

Russia is an interesting case: it has already liberated itself from the post-Soviet “shock therapy” neocolonizers. This occurred during Putin’s administration, which is why he is especially hated by the US. So now the support for Russia is in the context of keeping the colonizers from recolonizing it, and supporting Russia to the extent that it helps other states liberate themselves. But Russia isn’t trying to “liberate” Ukraine, at least not all of Ukraine. It’s trying to resolve the genocidal attacks on the people of the Donbas, and it’s trying to resolve the imperialist military expansion at its border.

• Robert Parry, 2015: The Mess that Nuland Made
• Jeffery Sachs, 2023: The War in Ukraine Was Provoked—and Why That Matters to Achieve Peace

• As usual I am correct and anyone who disagrees is wrong.
• And given the immutable fact that I am right (always)
• Wrongo.
• No I'm just right and that makes you mad
• Impressive really considering that I am right.

Some turbolib smuglord has taken over someone’s hexbear account is what this sounds like. Really embarrassing.

This whole thread has been most garbage take I’ve ever seen a Hexbear user account of any significant vintage make. It’s like you have almost no understanding of imperialism/colonialism or of “critical support” for bourgeois nationalist movements against them. Almost everyone here disagrees with you, as do many people of the Global South, who also align with and significantly support Russia against the imperial core.

That doesn’t sound like an optimal use of labor even if we had a functioning society. Leaving sitting asbestos lie is pretty stable and doesn’t sound like a high priority.

What regime are we talking about now, the US it sounds like?

Oops I accidentally a 1.

The time & place for your “constructive” input was weeks & months ago on GitHub tickets & PRs, numbnuts.
