Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

I can never quite decide whether western leaders are knowingly bullshitting about Ukraine, or whether they're so ideologically blinkered that they genuinely believe that they're doing everything possible to help.

The left hand taboo is from Arab culture, not the Koran, right? These guys are said to be all central Asians.

A cursory google search suggests the taboo extends throughout central Asia. It is also in south Asia.


It's possible they just hung the flag the wrong way, something I read said the photo was from after the attack so they may have been in a rush. It's thin justification but who knows

Another aspect of liberals is they just cannot or will not conceptualise that the same people are in charge now as in the past.

Even if they acknowledge past US policy was bad, they think current must be good. If you tell them the same people are in charge, they just crash and reboot.

I think part of the reason is the focus on elections as the totality of politics. Especially in the US, eras are measured in presidential administrations, and each new one is completely fresh (even if it's the incumbent that won). Americans conceive of the president as the totality of government, to the point where "the civil service exists" became a scary or absurd conspiracy theory.

Materially speaking, it's the same result either way. Which is helpful, because I'm not sure it's actually possible to tell the difference.

It still makes me so mad that people think admiration of the Soviet Union means loving Russia. Motherfucker Putin is *your* victory and achievement, if you don't like him maybe you shouldn't have worked so hard to put him in power!

But, of course, to a liberal, America is both an ultimate defender of the world, and also completely incapable of influencing world events. Every day is a new day, and every day there is a new press briefing.

It's impossible to argue with. Remembering 5 minutes ago is considered impolite, remembering a week ago treasonous, remembering a decade ago insane.

I'm not sure it is nice. Liberals spend a lot of time being very angry. Easily driven to genocidal rage, even.

You seem confused. Poland allied with nazi germany and jointly invaded their neighbour with the blessing of the UK and france while the USSR was fighting the Nazis in Spain.

here's my copy pasta:

  • The USSR tried to form an anti-fascist alliance with Britain and France but they refused
  • Many countries in Europe (Poland, Rumania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Italy, Denmark, Britain, and France) made non-aggression agreements/military alliances with Germany months before the Soviets did
  • The Polish territories occupied by the Soviets in 1939 were previously part of the Belarussian and Ukrainian SSRs until Piłsudski decided to attack them during the Polish-Soviet War of 1919
  • Interwar Poland and Finland were fascist dictatorships with concentration camps like the Bereza-Kartuska Prison or the East Karelian concentration camps
  • The Polish territories occupied by the Soviets in 1939 were not majority Polish (rather Ukrainian, Belarussian, Jewish, Lithuanian, etc.); these minorities within Poland were being oppressed by the Polish state
  • Poland took part in the partitioning of Lithuania and Czechoslovakia; the USSR returned some of the land like Vilnius to Lithuania
  • The Polish Government had already fled the country via the Rumanian Bridgehead by the time that the Soviets intervened; so the Polish State literally did not exist
  • Hitler publicly admitted in a Berlin speech on 3 October 1941 that he was embarrassed that he made the agreement
  • Socialism good, you can't criticise Stalin for socialism in one country while simultaneously criticising him for his expansionism
  • The most important reason of them all, it was preferable to giving the Nazis all of Poland. Did you know that of the 6 million Jews killed during the Holocaust, over 3 million of them were Polish? The Soviet interventions in Poland, the Baltics, Rumania, Finland, and so on saved possibly millions of lives
