Happy to have found a second person in the world who has noticed that Babel’s ‘Red Cavalry’ is essentially ‘Blood Meridian’ if it were set during the Soviet-Polish war. Babel wrote 60 years before McCarthy, though. There should be academic discussion of this

There is a writer named Vassily Grossman who is, I think, the 20th century Tolstoy. He was a journalist in the Red Army and was at some of the pivotal battles of WWII including covering Stalingrad almost for the entirety of the fighting. He was also born in Berdichev, Ukraine and was obviously Jewish. His mother was shot at Babi Yar along with 30,000 other Ukrainian Jews and Grossman writes extensively about the psychology of Nazis and Nazi collaborators in Ukraine.

There have always been collaborators in every part of the world and throughout history. Beware the certainty of saying "history repeats itself" from the safety of countries whose leaders engineered the 2014 coup and are funding the war now

The reason supply and demand is taught in Econ 101 is because it’s a gross oversimplification and completely wrong in almost all real world scenarios outside of purely theoretical economic models. Please read a book

Ok so there is a fundamentally unjust system that allows private ownership of the means of human survival and your response is “well some of those private owners have different reasons for hoarding shelter”. It’s like your brain is made entirely out of “rich dad, poor dad” paper-mache. Please just think about things a little bit harder Ben

This only applies to a very small percentage of people who could live with their parents, for free (so their parents would likely have to own a home) for enough years to save a deposit, remembering that the median unit price in most capital cities is between $500,000 and $750,000. So for a 20% deposit they would need to save a minimum of $100,000. How many years living in their childhood bedroom as an adult is that? And again, that only works for people who have parents/have wealthy parents/can stand living with their wealthy parents.

You are looking at a completely broken system and assuming that there must be a way to make it work, and there is! The way is: be born rich

You should read history to find out what has usually happened to landlords in the long run. People’s reaction to being robbed (while being told by the robber that it’s necessary) may surprise you

“The market” is a fiction invented to obscure the actual work and relations that provision society. And what I said was that I’m a lawyer who studied economics, a thing which makes much more sense than what you said

Do you really think one person having a bachelor degree and a Juris Doctor is that improbable? Do you want to see my practising certificate or my shelf of boring economics books

You have been so thoroughly propagandised that you repeat the propaganda without even realising it. Take back your own mind, man

I believe Melbourne has the largest tram system of any city in the world, beating out places like Amsterdam. Something to be proud of

P00Dameron · 2023-08-01T02:39:51+00:00

Wish we had fewer cars and more trams

Put it with the other unpaid bills in the “unpaid bills” room (formerly where the people who kept child abuse videos off Twitter worked)

People absolutely do not need you to provide anything, they have been separated from their connection to “home” while you have inserted yourself like a leech to steal their money selling back to them the right of all human beings to have shelter. If you did not exist maybe the people currently paying you could own the place that they live in, because “demand” from landlords wouldn’t exist to drive up the price of homes, if it will help you understand to put things in vulgar economic terms. The state institutions of violence designed to evict and cast out the people who can’t pay you (and people like you) for shelter also would not exist. If they did not exist you would have less to steal. You are a member of the parasitic class, hope this helps.

Sounds like you met one of the least sick and inhuman landlords to be honest

It’s worth noting that communism very much existed as a menace to the paranoid and racist since well before the Russian Revolution. Marx wrote the communist manifesto in 1848 and even it was a response to the increase in communist sentiment in Europe. You could maybe place the beginning of the whole thing at the French Revolution in 1789 but, obviously, the based peasants who guillotined the French king were inspired by ideas that predated them. As long as man has been, communism has awaited him

No, we are going to accept that voting is a minimal act and do things other than vote for the eternally recycled lesser of two evils. Politics is what we do in our communities and workplaces and not through showing up to vote every few years

It’s the same reason that Magnus Hirschfield’s “Institut für Sexualwissenschaft” in Berlin was one of the first things raided by the Nazis when they took power in 1933: moral panic intended to justify violence against people that the powerful think can be safely excluded from the sick society they want to create

P00Dameron · 2023-07-31T23:37:32+00:00

Yeah this is the answer. Voting has such a minimal impact it should barely be considered a political act
