Edit: Not Crimea as a whole, as you can find beauty anywhere, but that pictured place isn't exactly the best candiate for making the point

Well yeah, and it has not even meant that for a long time, but I still think it's great to tell the French to give it up and use the lingua franca, especially since French itself used to be something of a standard language. I'm Canadian and we have to deal with annoying French speakers though, so I'll take whatever catharsis I can get. edit: especially since half of their words are almost identical but just in the opposite order

It's pretty fascinating (and depressing) to me that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" thinking is causing both the far right and far left to sidle up to Russia. I used to be a lot more politically active, and a lot of my activist buddies that I'm still in contact with love Russia, part because they're not the West, and part because they started following RT when RT was the only one giving Occupy anything close to fair news coverage and then ate up stuff about the CIA in Ukraine and whatever. I guess the right's into Russia because Putin snubs Obama regularly and also hates gays.

Dwesa posted:Unless your friends are anarchists or other similar left movement, far right and far left have a lot in common. Mainly dictatorship and a role of state in former or current communist states and in fascist/nazi states was similar. Not so much my friends but I've run into some really hardcore left wing authoritarians who probably kept lists of people they'd put up against the wall if their revolution happened. The ones I'm still in contact with seem to just be willing to overlook the bad things Russia does because they too are opposed to the same governments.

A Pale Horse posted:Or they just accept the terror as good and just. There was a stink in Moscow last week when some representative of the Moscow patriarchate went on radio and said Stalin did good by mass murdering people because enemies of the nation and God deserve to be murdered and should be murdered and their murders serve as an example to the rest of society to be faithful to God and country. He said Stalin was only cleansing Russia and carrying out the will of God and the people. Even the host was shocked. I'm socialist but pretty close to the communist end of things and I've met some creepy communists who seemed to regard purges and mass killings as a feature, not a bug, of communism and I wouldn't be surprised if they kept lists of people they'd kill if their revolution ever happened.

There are dickheads and assholes everywhere you go but I think it's an important distinction that the extermination camps were run by the Nazis and not the Polish government, which was in exile at the time anyway.

That's 100% styrofoam and is probably based on an RC model plane kit. Kind of surprised there's anything of it even left if was hit by weapons fire

Hey I found it: https://www.hobby-wing.com/sonicmodell-ar-wing-900mm-drone-fpv-flying-wing-kit.html The camera hole and a couple of other things seem to be a touch different but otherwise seems to be a good match for what's still present edit: maybe a different model from the same company or an ali express knockoff or that's a common shape for designs across several manufacturers? either way it's a toy BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 12:17 on Nov 5, 2019 |
