A real Reddit post from 2022

I want to fight for Ukraine. I have no military background and some live firearm experience. I do have over 100 hours of airsoft milsim experience though. It’s the closest thing to actual war. I’m familiar with military lingo and protocols (not sure if applicable cause I’m fighting for a foreign country). Knowledge on how to operate a variety of weaponry. I use high-end airsoft guns which are 1:1 or almost identical to the real thing. I did many roles in the milsim from combat medic to Forward observers and operated in a two-man sniper team.

I have my own gear (cammies, plate-carrier, plates, medkit, supplies). I have money for the trip and money for basic necessities. I will not leech off the UAF I will have my own stuff except a gun and ammunition.

I know basic Russian words, but will still need assistance or translation for any complex movements or tactical battle plans.

Even though it’s sinking, it’s still better designed than Narita. They didn’t have to evict a bunch of poor farmers to build this airport, and the regional train services are better too.

فهل هذا هو ما تدور حوله الحركات المتطرفة في شينجيانغ؟ لدي شعور بأن الأيديولوجية الوهابية تساهم بشكل كبير في عدم الاستقرار في المنطقة. استخدام ترجمة Google لأنه من الممتع أن تتلاءم معها.

At this point Islamic scholars really need to start asking if there really is massive religious significance in doing the Hajj all in one week, if it puts people’s lives in danger. Aren’t you allowed to consume pork if it saves your life, for example? Something similar should happen here.

Oh yeah and of course it’s very possible that it doesn’t matter and Saudi Arabia is just an evil state, that too.

what are you talking about, this is the best video I’ve seen all day

The USSR famously failed to out-Pizza the Hut, a great tragedy indeed.

I have never heard of LERFS before, that’s some helpful context.

If they’re old white guys, invite them fishing. If they’re young white guys, invite them to a craft brewery. White people love craft breweries for some reason.

It is.

Even though I didn’t bother watching the show I heard that it did a bunch of queerbaiting only to have the characters be “really good friends!” Is that accurate?

…that was only a partial joke. Sometimes people are lonely and bored and just need to talk. They go to important meetings and talk there, interrupting the meeting. A good org I think would create social get-togethers as well so serious matters can then be discussed efficiently.

Thinking about that CIA (well, proto-CIA) infiltration manual from the 40s about making discussions long-winded and off topic to sabotage organizations.

Can you get the white guys to talk with each other for a little while while the Adults in the Room™ get stuff done?

EXCELLENT post

I’m tired of people pretending Breadtube is any sort of movement rather than just a Youtuber friendgroup. I saw someone call Jenny Nicholson a breadtuber the other day and I was like . I like her stuff but she does a bunch of stuff about theme parks, not really Kropotkin.

I haven’t had anything to drink over the last two weeks and it’s done wonders for my functioning at work and improves my mood. Even a couple drinks every night after a few nights will really start to wear at you, especially as you get older.

Blackshirts and Reds is the quintessential text on the differences between communism and fascism.

Also, though I have never read it, I do wonder if Mein Kampf has anything of value that communists could glean. My dad read it just to see what was going on in Hitler’s head and said it was a poorly-written hate-filled screed, which sounds about right.

2 factor authentication aka data harvesting. Get a stronger password goddamn it. Especially fuck sites like Discord for requiring my goddamn phone number.
