  • The dogs of war remain off their leashes, and the havoc will continue until Ukraine runs out of men – or Russia runs out of money.

    My money is on Ukraine running out of men or ending in a coup, maybe further civil war. Either way, Z is not living to old age. I doubt Russia will run out of money at this point and if the war continues then Russia will eventually be able to take over larger portions of the country as the UAF collapses.

    Sad for Ukrainians who just want this to end and who will die for nothing.





  • What do people think of the documentary L’Chaim, Comrade Stalin?

    I watched it the other night, thinking from the title it would be pretty pro-Stalin and I could’ve sworn people here recommended it, but it ended up critiquing Stalin as an antisemite quite a bit. Now there are some things I could see, like, saying the Jewish Autonomous Oblast was not good land and they didn’t receive much assistance from Moscow. Maybe even some claims that USSR and Stalin later in life became more antisemitic after the War, not that I necessarily agree with that but okay fine. But it just went so far that I started questioning the whole film, which was generally pretty interesting.

    There was even a scene where someone almost literally says there was a “rumor” that before Stalin died he was planning on sending all Soviet Jews to the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and killing them all there as his Final Solution to the Jewish Question. cue ominous music Just made me laugh that it was stated as such a certain fact even though it was prefaced as being a rumor. You have to have the attention span of a fucking goldfish to miss that one.

    There was another guy who said Stalin created the JAO and sent Jews there because he didn’t like Jews and saw them as a Fifth Column who could betray USSR and support the Nazis. The unlikeliness of that alliance aside (given Trotsky and the Zionists), it also made me laugh because the film itself said Stalin set up the JAO in 1934. The very same year that Hitler first became Führer of Nazi Germany and just about 7 years before Nazi Germany declared war on USSR and 10 years before the deportation of Tatars and others under Stalin. What???

    They also had a scene where apparently someone’s father was a Jewish representative from JAO to Europe (can’t remember if they said to Germany or one of the Scandinavian countries) and that they left a committed, true believer Communist and came back changed for life. He apparently claimed that something unjust was happening in USSR because he saw that the losers of WW2 were living better off than the victors in USSR. Which, yeah, of course, the US poured a ton of money into Europe for precisely anti-Communist reasons and USSR had just barely industrialized, entered a catastrophic world war, won, and was barely trying to recover while needing to enter an arms race with the US and still hated by the rest of the imperialist world. Of course there were economic disparities. How is that necessarily Stalin’s fault? Granted, there were economic issues to be criticized in USSR, especially post-Stalin with the advent of Capitalist Restoration, but it actually said things were better under Gorbachev’s Perestroika than Stalin’s time. Huh???

    It was a strange film. Now, again, USSR wasn’t perfect and Stalin was human like anyone else, albeit made of Steel. So, yeah, I could see both fucking things up and getting some critiques, even some major ones, but I just lost all trust in the film at some point so I’m not sure what to think of it.



  • Cops also went around smashing the shit out of everything, for like no reason. They would need to smash a window to get into a door for example, but they would also just smash all the windows around it and also the drywall for some reason??? It took over a year for all the damage to be repaired lol

    That’s so funny. You know they went home thinking they were such badasses the way they cleared those corners and opened the doors too. In reality, they just semi-permanently trashed some kids’ school. Absolute clown shit. che-smile


  • USians are very weird with their early dinners though.

    Eat earlier if you want, I don’t care and I know it’s not generational bullshit, but restaurants do close way too early now and this country has always been fucking stupid about what amounts to its early curfew hours. It does feel romantic, and even feels biologically right to me, to have a late dinner with someone in a somewhat empty restaurant on a quiet night in a nice city with some pretty lighting. I will die on this hill.
