Hey don’t worry, I fell for that one initially. Took until Oct 7 until I really started seeing through it all if you will.

Ukraine is kinda close-by geographically, and geopolitically we “share the enemy” because we had ties with the nazis during WWII, and the Soviets invaded in ’39 to secure St. Petersburg (then known as Leningrad) from a joint Axis attack from the north along the Karelian isthmus.

But even the fact that the chairman or whatever of my country’s most popular far-right political party went to address the Ukraine parliament, speaking himself Ukrainian for some reason, didn’t straight away make me question the narrative.

oh wow

Yeah I kinda guessed as much tbh

If anyone’s actually wondering about this film: it exists. I haven’t seen it though, so don’t know what it’s actually like.

Cut to a flasback sequence where it is revealed that this is all a psyop by Big Muffin to make hunky husband’s muffin shop too overpriced to exist and to install a new McMuffin’s to this rural town once all competition is eliminated by ways of lobbyists and capitalists. The sequence ends, cut to black.

fin.

Well, it’s the darkness that comes living near the arctic circle, that shit makes me question my will to live every year by itself. Thankfully we are not on the northern side, meaning that we get that sweet 4-6 hours of daylight this time of year before the sun sets again.

The christmas stuff starts creeping in to the stores before Halloween, even though Halloween isn’t something that’s a familiar celebration around here (but we’re a good little vassal state apparently, so whatever). And after that’s over with it’s just more and increasing amounts of christmas stuff. I hate it, it’s just worthless plastic waste that costs an inordinate amount of money because of reasons.

The music that plays on every radiostation and in every store at every time. All the songs are usually just translations of Usian shit jingles, all of which are way too cheerful and really way too fucking American for my taste, and those few that aren’t are just straight up hymns and/or psalms and I really don’t vibe with any amount of religiosity.

It’s a time for family, they say, which to me seems to be a way of guilt tripping me to visit people who stress me most, but feel bad when I immidiately want to leave and just go home.

There is a memory of a christmas here, some kind of an idea. But when I see the soulless eyes of plastic reindeer and hear the cheerless and lifeless jingle of plastic bells in the store where I (and WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE at THE SAME TIME) am franticly trying to find everything that everyone tells me that I need to buy in order to have a merry christmas, I realize that it’s simply not there. It doesn’t exist. Maybe it never did.

I look outside, and instead of the half a meter of snow I remember having fallen by this time of the year in my childhood I usually see a fucking puddle.

Thanks capitalism, you really do ruin everything for the rest of us, don’t you? Yeah you do.

Seconding this, I don’t think it ever even could have gone the other way. In the end the EU (and all its members) is just another bourgeois state with the same flaws as any other, economically and politically beholden to the will of US’s imperialism and capital.

RTX 2080 Ti and CachyOS (Arch-based distro with an emphasis on gaming performance), most everything that should works out-of-the-box. I wouldn’t stress it, try a live USB first. Edit: also I’m using Wayland, which has been worse with NVIDIA than X11 that Mint apparently uses. So I’m pretty confident you’ll be alright.

indeed. i hope more would come to this conclusion faster, i don’t think the ecological catastrophe is going to be kinder to humans the longer we fuck with capitalism. things are only going to get worse.

i’ve been liking her more each time i heard of and from her. she has been and is an inspirational young woman, worthy of much more praise than i have time for now. i especially applaud her uncompromising outspokenness on the issues of the modern world, most of which are present and evident in Gaza/Palestine. i think i remember she confirmed that her personal focus has shifted from environmentalism to dismantling capitalism, and i think taking her reknown globally and using it to expose the absolute depravity of the zionist establishment is vital work. everyone should be more like greta.

i asked myself: wwjd? and now i ask you because i have no idea

I for one welcome our new Goa’uld overlords

We talked about autism in the oval office, folks, and we – many brilliant folks, folks like RFK Jr. here, brilliant minds, strong minds… many people are saying this – we think we found the answer, the final answer, the best answer, for autism…

the answer is going to be eugenics.

i think being generally rude and just kind of a removed will eventually make people learn not to interact with you in any way outside of work related stuff.

oh yeah, i loved it when i got somewhat better from my own internal haze (depression and bpd and anxiety and shit) only to realize the world’s actually gone to shit, and now i can clearly see what and why and how.
