they already have. check out this nutcase:

I will take the most simple and obvious example. In Brazil there now reigns a semifascist regime that every revolutionary can only view with hatred. Let us assume, however, that on the morrow England enters into a military conflict with Brazil. I ask you on whose side of the conflict will the working class be? I will answer for myself personally—in this case I will be on the side of “fascist” Brazil against “democratic” Great Britain. Why? Because in the conflict between them it will not be a question of democracy or fascism. If England should be victorious, she will put another fascist in Rio de Janeiro and will place double chains on Brazil. If Brazil on the contrary should be victorious, it will give a mighty impulse to national and democratic consciousness of the country and will lead to the overthrow of the dictatorship. The defeat of England will at the same time deliver a blow to British imperialism and will give an impulse to the revolutionary movement of the British proletariat.

I first saw "The Terminator: Episode One - Future Reset" probably twenty years ago and never saw it again since, and most of the events of my life before a few weeks ago are a dim haze, so really it was new to me. On the other hand I've seen "The Terminator: Episode Two" a bunch of times. I was surprised at how much of an "80s movie" this is, and how a lot of it felt like it was just a well-made version of the sort of films MST3K carries from this period. On the other hand, T2 is "slicker than a Yes album" (Todd Barry).

There's a scene in this with a club called TECH NOIR which is so peak-80s that I felt like I was watching a movie from now that was trying to exaggerate what the 80s was like. Then I sort of felt like maybe the 80s never actually happened. Then I remembered I was there for it, although, as I've said, not much has stuck from the decade.

This movie gets the time-travel stuff completely right by making it all sort of jumble together, where people talk in profound tones about the future but deliberately don't try to make the timeline make sense. No one cares about contradictions. Just show us the cool shotgun blasts. Which this movie does - and then some.

I like that they made an effort to emphasize that if you were actually hunted by a time-traveling cyborg that most people would think you were crazy, even if you had a fair bit of conviction about the whole thing. It makes you wonder how many times that has happened in reality. Like maybe mental hospitals are full of people who really were sent back in time to stop Donald Trump from launching nuclear armageddon but we just told them to take a few handfuls of pills every morning. Anyway that's why thinking outside the box is important.

he's really a man for his times. he fits right in there. he's also a good writer because he doesn't dawdle or try to dress up what he's saying as more profound than it really is, like by using highfalutin metaphors.

So I went to a meeting of the Maoist study group on campus and it was wild. Literally 4 hours of reading about The Greatest Marxist-Leninist-Maoist And Revolutionary In All Of Human History, The Great And Honorable Chairman Gonzalo. Everybody not this specific group of 6 white people in a rented library room is a social fascist, a revisionist, or both. You're not allowed to ask questions because it's a study group not a debate group. Also they really really really like the word "discipline" and constantly talk about the need to have discipline and discipline members and if you miss two meetings in a row they send a commissar to your house to ask you where you've been and catch you up on the material you missed.

This owns.
