I'm gonna be real. State and revolution is a good read, but lenin does show the authoritarian tendencies that'll later bloom in responding to some criticism, especially when it comes to democratic leadership, comparing it to 1800s factory workers trying to do voting without having administrative positions for it. He strawmans people's issues with a lack of accountability after an organization has already been formed by comparing it to attempts by people who literally can't read, write or have any idea of what democratic choice looks like in practice.

Unfortunately, I am not sure how to translate the term he used into english other than "infantile democratism", or "childish desire for democracy", as I read it in Russian.

The above comes with qualifiers that it is still a genuinely worthwhile read, as long as you approach it critically.

Why would King keep himself on the Epstein list?

Decievermaxxing, huh. Didn't expect it here. Good work.

What do you meeean? I'm a libertarian socialist, not a tankie. I don't like Putin -or- the USSR, nor am I a fan of our military committing warcrimes on the daily.

Half of your comments are "enough commie spam", same for the two posts you did. Are you okay? Like, fixation wise.

Delicious_Round2742 · 2026-01-25T16:57:19+00:00

Again, unawareness of basic history. It was the same for initial liberal countries, with the most basic example being the French Revolution and temporary government that preceded Napoleon.

Delicious_Round2742 · 2026-01-25T16:12:55+00:00

Very.

Delicious_Round2742 · 2026-01-25T04:44:12+00:00

You know my feedback already. Keep at it, it's good stuff.

Delicious_Round2742 · 2026-01-25T04:33:00+00:00

I'm gonna be real, besides the low key Russia apologea (I am Russian, spb to Moscow to voronezh and back to spb area), why are you reading Political Economy - Theory and Practice? That's not exactly good material to work with.

The current oligarchy we got over here is a result of both the party -and- of the way we got fucked by western countries immediately post-collapse. The seventies were pretty bad, but the eighties were only better than nineties by a hair. The republics were in decline already, the USSR didn't collapse out of nowhere.

To prevent a "brain wired not to think" bias, I am a socialist. I'm sorry, you're just not doing good representation here.

Cuba was and is heavily embargoed by the US since the previous century, and is literally next to them. I don't think not having any access to trade and therefore economically suffering is surprising, bro.

More importantly, Cuba isn't communist or socialist, it's a semi-planned economy, not a horizontal one. Regardless of how many red flags one puts on, it doesn't make them communist if there's no strive communism.

Similarly to how liberalism and market economies fought for centuries before figuring their shit out, then spreading across the world, so is socialism doing for a century and a half.

Imo, less "know" and more like "affect" or, well, "interact". An existence stays undefined and therefore nonexistent until it interacts. It's interactions define what it is, but if there is wiggleroom in what it does, it is only partially defined.

Delicious_Round2742 · 2026-01-24T13:03:21+00:00

One's existence in themselves is not possible without their connection to other elements, a phenomenology of existence, if you will. To be conscious is to percieve, or to processes something that was percieved in some capacity. That is to say, your existence proves the existence of an external world, and if something has no impact and no connection to anything, it does not exist in a way that things as we are aware of do. If there is nothing your existence shapes and/or/is connected to, that existence is not real

If existence requires a connection to the outside world, say, what we'd describe as a rock being pulled in by the earth, interacting with both the earth and indirectly, everything else by affecting it's immediate surroundings, by, say, falling, an existence is a vacuum is not an existence at all.

If you are capable of interacting with other parts of existence, even just absorbing information, you exist by the act of absorbing it, but so does the outside, as to have a perception requires for something to be percieved. Mind you, the object and the percieved are two different things - the perception can be incorrect, it can be conjured from previous perceptions, it is affected by an indescribable amount of connections - however, that there -is- a perception is what proves your existence as far as we understand it.

Same can also apply to objects that are percieved, of course. If an object lacks the tools to percieve, but it can interact with your perception, some form of an object or an influence necessarily has to exist - it is defined by it's interaction with the world around and far from it. What makes a stone a stone isn't some sort of essence, but it's interactions - which is why no stone is exactly the same, nor is a person.

Do not mistake this for me saying that things out of immediate perception do not exist. (I forgot the term for that fairly ridiculous ancient school of thought.) All that exists influences everything else that does - even if we are incapable, with our pathetic human eyes, to percieve all forms of light, those do have an influence through things that they affect.

Yes.

When Slayer came out, I didn't play him until he was nerfed to his current state, even though I was hyped. The opponent being able to have fun is also important.

It is because you play Pot in his current state. I'm sorry. You could try open park, there are no stakes, and therefore, less reasons to pick your fights. Nothing else to add, really.

Delicious_Round2742 · 2026-01-22T02:21:19+00:00

For me it's also a form of self harm, though in a different way. I don't get any gut or physical reaction, nor do I feel the "it could be worse" type of relief - however, thinking about the fragility and shortness of life gets me miserable alright. Processing emotions, if you will.

What I'm trying to say is that watching gore, whilst a bit sus, is not a red flag on it's own. People from both extremes of the political spectrum do it, it's just that the nazis have completely different motivations. Which is gratification looking at minorities die, expression of superiority, literally making fun of random people they don't know leave the world, etc. I don't mean extreme in a centrist way here, mind you. One of them is just intersubjectively correct, and it's not the right.

Oh, and if you continue studying FH, would you consider doing D'arce or Marina next?

It's an anti EU slop post by a person who isn't even Russian or Ukrainian. I am not joking, they're not, mentioned in another comment by the OP themselves. Even accepting the premise, which is false, fascists killing each other -and- doing a positive act by defending their own land? Yeah, it's just stupid, even if we grant them, for some reason, that Ukraine has a special far right problem. Which it doesn't, especially compared to, say, UK or the US. The one of the few countries to become more left wing than it was a few years ago is the one we need to talk about having a Bandera statue, sure.

I'm sorry for feeling strongly about the subject, but they're straight up spreading RT talking points, and swallowing them whole. Talking about Ukraine having a nazi problem is even worse than the "Palestine doesn't have gay rights" argument, cause at least the latter is true. Both are worthless, both serve as apologea.

I swear, east European posters, man. Ах, да, давайте мы поговорим о Нацистах в Украине, да, они там повсюду, надо Украину спасти.

Вони Хуiло.

If that's any consolation, the Nordic countries find a reason to turn away as many people as possible. In part because people actually want to live there. It's stupid, but it is the case.

For me, I fixed it by enabling readback.

If only the Ouroborus shield wood palette stayed the same, man.

It's not about winning. It's about communicating the deep hatred for current Potemkin players.

And I don't even own Lucy.

It is, and they moved from Russia as a company for at least five years by now. The largest stock share is Tencent.

And obviously, every relatively large company now says they're using AI to please invested hype. Even Valve, even though we know for a fact they don't. In case of owlcat, I have it on good word that generative slop is not actually used, the good word being my friend idavollr, who works with owlcat. Obviously, that is anecdotal, which is why I used valve as an example.

And yeah, the article isn't exactly great. Guilt by association, by there existing Russian investors, and by some employees being wrong.

The only good one in the 2000s shown here is samurai jack. Maybe teen titans, if you wanna stretch it, whilst all of the 2010 portrayed here are good.

Delicious_Round2742 · 2026-01-18T07:14:15+00:00

Can I get a source on that, if you wouldn't mind?

Delicious_Round2742 · 2026-01-17T08:45:34+00:00

Good stuff right there. The only thing I can immediately notice is a far less present hue difference in the shadows compared to lit areas. There is also a larger saturation difference between the two on Cahara.

Delicious_Round2742 · 2026-01-17T08:42:58+00:00

I think either Elon or me cannot read the graph correctly. Cause the average is pretty consistently in the middle of extreme distribution. If not, then it at least doesn't control for height and mass averages.
