another option would be locked-down old laptops that don’t have internet access but only a word processor

missed all that trump elon shit because of deltarune. wish the worst for both of them obv but i think this will go worse for elon which is awesome

Undertale is quoting Vladimir Lenin

damn there are still people who are part of british noble families and they still keep track of that that’s crazy, they put it on their wikipedia page that’s wild

I finally had a good game of Victoria 3 but it kind of went too good, my monarchy was too stable and everyone loved me so never got a chance to go communist

I have a lot of thoughts about the Israeli embassy shooting but they would all probably be considered “fedposting” so I’ll keep them to myself

can someone give me a quick rundown on the revcoms

what’s their deal

Everything about academia is fucked up. wdym you need to be currently attending a university to access JSTOR. Why can’t people be trusted with the largest resource for all of human knowledge without currently going to school. I think all workers regardless of education should be able to go on JSTOR. Also I should be able to go on JSTOR after I leave this fucking place. Yeah I know this is all pirateable but it’s less convenient. Also I should be able to get a print subscription to The American Historical Review just because I think it would be cool without it costing 600 fucking dollars a year

Why do we gotta know about Joe Biden’s prostate

reddit changemyview the worst internet forum possibly ever

I’ve got two total lib friends that agree with every liberal position and hate Donald Trump but still don’t think they’re liberals because they like guns. They were kind of defensive about being called liberals too, I think it’s just a reflection on how cooked the Democrat brand is in America at this point.

Ethan proved himself to be a stupid racist again

The Anne Frank thing, implying she would be worse if she fought the Nazis, was insane and should be disqualifying

I started a Sokoto run and it’s been pretty fun so far. Haven’t gone into debt this time and now I have Per-Capita Taxation so when I go back to it I’ll probably be able to build a lot more construction sectors. UK wanted to make me a protectorate so sadly had to give Togo to France for protection but then Denmark took it from them somehow (I wasn’t looking at the map when it happened), Denmark’s probably not that big of a deal so I’ll get it back. Other than that I have most of West Africa except a lot of the coastlines.

What country in Victoria 3 should I play as if I wanna do an anti-colonial run

Tried Ethiopia and it went pretty well until I went into extreme debt and went bankrupt, tried Zulu and I couldn’t fucking do anything without the British getting involved

Note that I still don’t really know how to play this game, I kind of knew how to play Vicky 2 but that game automated a lot more shit

Liberal friend hit me with the “communism doesn’t work on a large scale” and I hit him back with the “so why did the US go out of its way to stop it everytime if it was bound to fail?” and he actually agreed and that got him thinking

Why did communist parties in the 70s-80s tend to associate having sex with dudes as being petit-bourgeois

Never quite got that one

What’s the best one-volume collection of Lenin’s most important writings that doesn’t cost a fortune?

Most of his books are like 100 pages I feel like there should be more of these, like that 800ish page Marx Engels reader from the 70s printed on super thin paper.

There’s one that’s around 500 pages but cuts stuff like prefaces and the last chapter of What Is To Be Done, I don’t want that

yeah i recently learned china and the ussr used to publish a bunch of shit in english

For China it was/is? the Foreign Languages Press, for the USSR it was Progress Publishers

Kind of fucked up how the three volume Selected Works of Lenin from the USSR Foreign Press costs so much money, they should stop that

i mean yeah they’re american so i think that’s kind of a hard thing to get over
