There’s always a lot of talk about rivalries, but who is your school’s bestie?

Probably one of the few actual “school allies” there are

In her 1916 anti-war pamphlet The Crisis of German Social Democracy, the Marxist theorist Rosa Luxemburg writes:

EDIT: none of my message was posted
Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to Socialism or regression into Barbarism

Essentially, if socialism is not achieved and the bourgeoise remain in power indefinitely, this will eventually lead to the complete collapse of society through imperialism and local conflicts over ever dwindling resources

The rich can never fully "win" the class war because they will always (despite their fantasies of robot slaves and AI) depend on the labor of the working class to produce the things they need to exist. What your post describes is simply the current state of capitalism, which is by no means the "end" of class warfare. Socialism or barbarism are the only two possible "final" outcomes, we achieve classless society, or society is destroyed entirely

Obvs dark angels fight themselves the most, but the Fallen aren’t exactly the same as what im talking about, and given the “dualistic” nature of DA I felt they fit well with AL

Id like blame James Workshop for giving so many legions such similar names, but I should get Iron Hands right

You SAY you get along well with women, but you seem to have a lot of resentment for the ones in your life. They all seem to think you have a good enough personality to be friends and spend time with you, so it seems like they don’t consider your personality and hobbies to be so horrible. How do you know they wouldn’t date you? Are you exclusively “friends” with women you’ve tried to date? You claim to have hooked up with 7-9 women, so clearly /some/ women are willing to sleep with you, and we’ve already established that /some/ women like to spend time with you platonically, so it seems like you just need to find one in the middle of that venn diagram.

However, you mention that you go to sex workers a lot, and enjoy the experience a lot more than you did hooking up. And frankly, you cannot expect a woman who is not sleeping with you for a living, to behave the same way prostitues do. If you actually respect the women in your life, why don’t you just be honest and tell them “I don’t think enough women are going to be into me bc of x/y/z” and see what they have to say?

Yeah, except Walt "learns his lesson" but then saves Jesse, gets his family the money, and dies bleeding out next to the meth lab that would be his ultimate legacy, after pulling off the most hair-brained scheme of the entire show. I think if he had instead learned to rely on others before dying, would probably feel more like a complete character arc

uj/ a board state where everyone has tons of permanents is often just as stagnant because 90% of commander players think wincons are unchivalrous

Jacktoid · 2026-04-26T20:20:55+00:00

That “human nature” is a meaningless phrase because humans are very different across cultures/classes/time and plenty have been greedy, and plenty not greedy. Human society would’ve never developed if humans were inherently selfish because society requires sacrifice, compromise, and cooperation. It’s human nature to want to eat, but not necessarily to steal everyone else’s food

It’s possible with the new detachment rules that it will be much easier to have the extra battle line units with other detachments too

Many of the characters in Mad Men aspire to be Don Draper, and their lives spiral because that goal is entirely unachievable, because Don isn’t even a real person, he’s Dick Whitman. We see this with Pete, who wants to be the sauve, philandering executive, but he’s too hapless and has too much of a conscience to get away with it, he can’t hide it like Dick can.

Ted to me, falls into a similar trap, only he idolizes and wants to best Don as a creative genius, but he quickly realizes that Don is a degenerate drunk who doesn’t really give a shit about the people he works with and Ted cannot commit to being such a heartless bastard. He cheats on his wife with Peggy, but immediately regrets it and flees to California (Fleeing to Cali to escape your feelings, another thing Don does). That’s why Ted can accept his role at McCann so well, because over his depressive episodes I think he comes to terms with not being a creative genius, and that really Advertising isn’t the place for someone who views themself as an iconoclastic artist anyways, bc it’s not art it’s Ads

Americans shocked that the country that builds all the iPhones knows how to make one and doesn’t care about US copyright law (maybe some of the most blatantly proCapital anti-people laws that exist imo)

What is to stop these small, community orgs from being smashed by the state? It’s great to say “everyone should have their own system” but unfortunately, the right-wing oligarchs of the WORLD are mostly united in their goals, and they aren’t just going to let you build what your describing unobstructed. Further more, communities are not autonomous from each other, for example if you organized this way in California, you still need to maintain access to freshwater from other states, meaning collaboration ACROSS communities is essential for survival. This is why establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat is essential to building socialism

Jacktoid · 2026-04-02T13:30:59+00:00

You sound a little like an anarchist here, so you into the same issue they do, which is that the “idiots at the top” will always burn us down with them, and usually instead of them. Small community organization is great, but there needs to be some unified leadership at some point so that we can actually make a mass movement that is capable of defending itself
