the most insane thing for me, having seen assistance lines and emergency relief programs here in South America, is the fact that all these people are still in cars

I legit have difficulty parsing that

i mean to be fair keeping people in their cars is an easy way to keep them separated during the y'know, pandemic, that is spreading unchecked

edit: they've been doing drive through testing basically everywhere as well because its healthier than having a bunch of potentially sick people sitting in a room coughing on each other

a bunch of people based in the UK I followed who were decent about examining imperialism all went off the COVID deep end. I assume there's something in the water.

I know some of them had wrong opinions before, but none were quite this bad.

I think some of them still have a sort of exceptionalism when thinking about Western states. People have to believe this COVID pandemic had to have been planned, because it's impossible to comprehend the state in a place like the UK or US utterly failing so utterly in its response.

I don't think the leadership in either country is that upset about the unnecessary death, but it definitely makes their jobs a bit harder.

remember the historical context of the russian revolution

at this point, genetics was strongly linked to eugenics and fascism and its interpretations were considered a bougie science for justifying scientific racism. We are talking about people seriously obsessed with being cucked and sterilizing "undesireables"

lysenko followed a different Lamarkian theory where traits earned during one's life (say you work out a lot and get huge arms) get passed on to your offspring


He became famous for contributing to agrarian science by chilling seeds and believed that if you chill seeds you can passed the vernalized traits to new harvests and grow them in inhospitable soil

this kind of thinking meshed really well with dialectical materialism so it was promoted against reactionary eugenicists. The difference between a geneticist and eugenicist was small at that time so unfortunately they fell prey to ideological battles in universities with some being prosecuted

so the crops didn't behave in the way they should and Lysenko was discredited

until recently when scientists have highlighted the possible inheritance of traits acquired by the previous generation that do behave in a lamarkian way but its disputed and didn't help those crops
