DancingShade posted:Zelensky looks exactly like the sort of tourist you find drinking early afternoon at a street bar table or directly at the bar spot with peak viewing angles. Slightly too small and slightly too smartly dressed. Slowly sipping his diplomatico with two ice while being very careful to wear his $20k watch at the best presentation angle for maximum peacocking. Zelensky is a god drat hero you disrespectful son of a bitch. Take his name in vain again and I won't be held responsible for what I do

mlmp08 posted:Ames is leaving out that the reporting would only run afoul of law if it obtained and released classified government documents that directly harm national security. So Swedish journalists can poo poo-talk the government and international relations all they like, with no legal repercussion. The controversy is Sweden removed protections for sources who provide classified documentation that harms national security to other countries. And who really wants to be the potential criminal test case for what classified docs qualify? liberal democracies suppressing journalism and dissent to protect their MIC and imperial obligations? that's just national security bro. totally different from when the bad authoritarian countries do it.

That said, I do actually think Krushchev was more of a dupe (not far off from Gorby) than an open collaborator. I think a lot of it was that he thought that peaceful existence was actually possible and part of that was the Soviet Union to make the "first move" which was completely disastrous and only was seen as weakness by the United States. I think more than some type of deeper conspiracy it goes back to I think an honest inferiority complex than existed in both Russian and Soviet culture that not only should Western tech be reverse-engineered but Western society has a whole should be modelled at all levels (even when it has lead to catastrophe.) You can see it playing out at the moment, the Kremlin just was completely dumbfounded that the US would go so hard against it, and it has been a long learning curve for them to figure out it is not the case. That said, at a certain point, looking at the Second World War, the Cold War, the disaster of the 1990s, and then what has occurred more recently than any deeper lesson will ever be learned. (Notice that the PRC very clearly never had this issue to the same degree, even when Hu was in power, it was clear there were hard limits how much leeway he really had.)

Slavvy posted:The Russians mistakenly thought they could one day become white people, the Chinese have never suffered under this delusion yeah Admittedly, there those who are able to "make the jump", there is a reason so much property in London is owned by Russians and so many people in Moscow desire a ridiculous accent in the "Queen's English." It is usually I never found them to be very happy, I guess you shouldn't meet your gods. As for why someone from Moscow, a city that is both bigger and honestly has more going on than London, would downgrade...I just don't get it. Suicidal stubbornness I do think there will be a hard cap on how far Russian can really go as long as they can't break free from the "big fantasy."

I'm not going to say that Stalin did nothing wrong. Like anyone else, he was flawed, and he made mistakes. But his heart was in the right place and he never gave up on his dreams

If your part of the elite you live in a weird bubble where the US cant be that bad right? And its like no fuckers, the US is a giant misery machine designed to funnel all money, power and resources to a a select very few. There's nothing it wouldn't do to enrich these people.

I would say at the same time, if you aren't "political," then the US presents a very favorable image outside the US especially for people who don't really know much about the outside world. In American media, everyone has a large house and 2 cars and they usually imply they don't work that hard to sustain them. Issue like debt and stress usually don't show up unless it is a "indie film" and even then it is fairly heavily sanitized (I thought nomadland pulled most of its punches). I don't think Western leftists really grasp that the empire is so successful because it works on people defeating themselves. It doesn't have to be everywhere militarily because the battle was already won. The PRC is trying to control this but again I think they are still playing a dangerous game.

quote:It is precisely this culture, coated with a glossy veneer, accompanied by sensational advertisement, handled in the most commercial way and back up and financed by the bourgeoisie, that inundates the cinema and television screens, magazines, newspapers and radio broadcasts, all the mass information and propaganda media. Its objective is to turn the ordinary man into a passive consumer of poisonous bourgeois ideas, and to make this consumption an addiction. Not only have we nothing to learn from this culture, no reason to impart it to our masses and youth, but we must reject it contemptuously and fight it with determination.[124]
