I've still always wondered what exactly broke along the way to go from "Hey maybe the workers of a factory should control that factory and own its profits" to poo poo like "Plants understand socialist ideology and birds are secret agents of capital".

The internet's given us many great examples of how people isolate themselves into small groups that self-radicalize and rapidly spin into insanity. It was just harder to do pre-internet.

"Look at this internal audit of a sweatshop generated for shareholders, capitalists would never lie about a genocide to further their own financial goals! The BBC? NYT? Human Rights Watch? Nah bro, they're in the pocket of capitalists and lying to further the nefarious goals of capitalism, can't trust those degenerates!"  (When you need a bogeyman to justify your course of actions, rationality gets left behind. Here we see a mild developing case of the fever).

the problem was that marx imagined an industrialized revolution when the revolutions we got were basically peasant rebellions with gussied up folks, which meant peasant rebellion shenanigans and peasant rebellion results hong xiuquan pulled much the same poo poo w/ weird dumbass interpretation of jesus instead of weird dumbass interpretation of marx

Because genetics is a filthy bougie science and COMRADE LYSENKO has proven that plants, like people, are naturally socialist and as a good member of the party that means he was right.

Real proletariat cannot starve, nor die of exposure. Ergo, those peasants who died in the famine that never happened were not proletariat and therefore deserved the deaths that didn't occur. QED.

When being more ideologically pure means wealth and power and being found to be less ideologically pure means your entire family being murdered by righteous mobs, then the performative aspect of any philosophy gets quickly twisted into absolutely insane bullshit. I mean, we've seen multiple times in history where the people can go from "throw away your chains and be free" to "murder anyone wearing glasses".

I'm dumb tho.  In other news (olds?) have you fellows heard about the Silverman archives? Some dude bought kilos of old photo negatives in China and is publishing them, it's pretty cool. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-08/introducing-the-beijing-silvermine-thomas-sauvin-china/13092150 https://www.beijingsilvermine.com/

Relin posted:does every country have to field a team for every event? just dont guys China is big and stronk. If they don't compete in and win literally everything people will think they are weak and laugh at them This is of course unacceptable compared to the current strategy, which is for China to try and compete in everything including things it isn't good at, failing, and getting laughed at

Hosting the games means free qualification. If not for the Olympics becoming a financial albatross we wouldn't even be talking about the Chinese hockey team.

You say "financial albatross", I hear "opportunity for graft". Look at Sochi. Cost more than all other Winter Olympics combined, yet had unfinished toilets and pothole ridden roads, both of which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Surely the Chinese can out corrupt, and out dodgy-facilities the Russians.

China's Mars rover is attempting to land soon. Given the track record of Mars landings the odds are against it, so far only NASA has been able to manage this (every other mission has either missed Mars entirely, crashed, or there was one Soviet probe that appears to have soft landed but then broke immediately after), but hey. If they succeed on their first attempt that'd be genuinely impressive.

Maybe we'll get some really impressive video that captivates the world until someone points out it's just the Gobi desert with a red filter applied, and also you can see the cameraman's shadow

(Out)Lander misses Mars entirely and, twenty years from now, hits the same mainland village downrange of the launch facility that eats all those boosters and carcinogens.

In the past they've waited several hours before saying anything in public, even for a successful mission, so who knows.
