#

I used to be right wing

#

A lot of shit, the turn started at the start of the Trump presidency

#

Indeed

#

It was mostly the whole thing out of the Great Barrier Reef going through a mass bleaching and the atrocious treatment of native people at the DAPL protests

#

I realised that the free market and capitalism had no answer for worsening and worsening climate change, in fact the opposite, it would only agitate and increase our demise, and I realised that Trump was full of shit and so were all the other right wing demagogues around him.

#

Then I started studying history in an actual academic setting and realised there too that Fascists were clowns

#

As well as the facets of American history that the public school system refused to teach

#

Especially the myriad of labour struggles in America as well as the crimes of the capitalist, neoliberal hegemony here and around the world from it's founding to present

#

And then my friend was killed in Afghanistan by an IED a few years ago, he was explosives ordnance disposal

#

And I knew that guy since like 2006

#

Appreciated mate

remote drift
#

what about america's exploitation of the philippines ;/

#

oh i'm aware

#

chad moro warriors

#

though im not a big fan of the concentrations camps they put up here or the entire white man's burden propaganda they kept putting out

waxen timber
#

And it was during the funeral, all the statism and cult like devotion to the state that had put him and thousands of others there. All the 'he gave his life for his country' shit and 'oh he's a hero' shit. And all of that, coupled with everything I had learned and studied previously completely broke me free of any notions that a Capitalist system, no matter how libertarian or divorced from authoritarian state oligarchs, could be redeemed and it needed to be fought

#

And that states were bullshit and the unjust hierarchies that started these pointless wars needed to be battled

#

In our area though the street level fascists are mostly fucked off, leaving us free to basically go around and start implementing our theory into action uncontested

#

which is almost always trying to find ways to alleviate the suffering of the poor and houseless

remote drift
#

you mind explaining what you mean by this

waxen timber
#

Also your views are idiosyncratic. How can you not like a country playing world police and support colonization at the same time

#

that's the same Imperialism that makes world policing necessary

remote drift
#

it's literally colonizing another country and in a sense protecting a foreign country's interests because it aligns purely for your own

waxen timber
#

and yet it necessitates foreign wars to maintain

#

Your views aren't coherent

remote drift
#

america in the philippines, spain the philippines, the dutch in the east indies, the british in africa, etc.

#

colonies which are their own countries in itself

#

they got with the program because they had to

waxen timber
#

Such a net gain the world is primed to be completely uninhabitable

toxic spade
#

@waxen timber my condolences

waxen timber
#

Thanks Mark

remote drift
#

when the spanish first arrived in the philippines you want to know what they did?

waxen timber
#

I'm talking about the climate crisis worsened by colonization and industrialization that is now primed to destroy the planet

remote drift
#

burned literally anything about our culture to the ground and only oral tradition was the last thing standing

waxen timber
#

And yet the Filipino people persisted and survived against their oppressors before chucking their asses out.

#

That's also not true

remote drift
waxen timber
#

Yeah too bad you guys didn't manage to stack more Americans and Spaniards

toxic spade
#

They were still primitive compared to europe because it was pretty hard to make an advanced civvie in the americas
It necessitates animals to tame, most american wildlife is pretty unforgiving, no horses no cows no sheep
Nothing, incas were lucky to have llamas

remote drift
#

we would have if our president of the fledgling republic was actually communicating

waxen timber
#

So when the Chinese manage to dominate America

#

and begin making total, irreversable changes to our society and culture

#

that will be good?

#

And if we do and still lose? Will you speak Mandarin?

#

Get yourself a social credit score

remote drift
#

so you'd be supportive of an entire world dominated by a global culture rather than a world united with their own individual cultures intact

waxen timber
#

You need to get your views coherent

#

you don't like globalism but you do like hegemonic global colonialism

#

Would you choose a position?

#

I just don't think your position is very nuanced?

#

I don't know how someone can like colonialism buy chafe at the idea of a global hegemonic culture

remote drift
#

^

waxen timber
#

that's where is obviously logically extends to. A global hegemony

toxic spade
#

If you could, and if you wanted to

waxen timber
#

A colonial government by default overrides the native government of that area...

remote drift

the philippines once again is one of the best examples of colonialism in action lol

#

God it's hilarious what happened to Rhodesia

toxic spade
#

Hoo boy here we go

waxen timber
#

Yeah I'm not a white supremacist, I don't like Rhodesia just because I browse a weapons forum?

#

Except that's entirely what the Rhodesian state was based on

#

Zimbabwe being poorly run doens't make apartheid or white supremacy suddenly okay

Two things can be bad at the same time

@marsh wasp you been typing a real long time

#

like more than 15 minutes

With the dawn of the Millennium, don’t you think that the way modern nations tax its citizens is outdated? ‘Taxation is theft’ as the libertarians say and while there is no realistic way of abolishing taxation without destroying the country in the process, I get the emotional frustration behind it.
I do my work, I have my salary and I pay a portion of that for expenses like water, electricity, food and then the state government comes in and takes a large chunk of that away. You get NO choice in the matter, that it gets sucked into a seemingly vast bureaucratic system which you will never see the inner workings of in your lifetime.
I can’t even go into a government website and look up how it’s being used, there’s no pie chart of what sectors of the economy my taxes are flowing into. Just rhetoric by the government worker assuring me that it’s being put to good use.
Your Helpless in the system that assures you that you are the most free than you ever have been in human history, and then tells you that the only time that you can make a change is with a single vote in which you need to wait/endure 4 years before attempting any form change again

#

I’ve had an idea inspired by the online effort of the Wall Street bets GME thing

karmic ether
#

alot of good points though

marsh wasp
#

Remember that?

karmic ether
#

im borderline brain dead

#

so no

marsh wasp
#

Everyone collectively came together and actually made a fucking impact on the system and it wasn’t through bullets but through reddit

#

Literally bankrupted 2 Wall Street hedge funds

karmic ether
#

oh yes i do remember that

marsh wasp
#

During which the impact it was so powerful that it actually got their hedge ties in the government shitting their pants

#

And unified the left and the right for a brief moment in taking on Wall Street

#

It was amazing

#

Now imagine that Internet collaboration being used on taxes

#

Imagine that everyone had the option to go onto their account and specifically dictate what part of the economy their taxes would be going towards

karmic ether
#

that

#

could either destroy everything or push the way we live into the future

marsh wasp
#

Instead of giving it to a centralised bureaucrat in which you know they going to embezzle those funds

#

It will give the individual INSANE political power over the state. it’s not quite abolish taxes but it’s a way to choke out the cancer by diverting the nutrients away

#

Imagine if we had a system like that before Covid hit

#

As soon as like everyone gets wind of something happening in Wuhan everyone would have gone immediately on their phones and diverted like 2% of their income taxes to the CDC

#

In a matter of hours it would’ve done what the federal government tried to do in a matter of a month

#

A Bill going through countless Bureaucratic bullshit for a rise in funding

#

I would literally Pay the researchers themselves

#

The Libertarians would love this

#

As well as the socialists in fact

#

The trade unions would have a different Avenue of bargaining power by basically diverting tax from a specific department of government in a form of protest

#

They wouldn’t be forced to go on a nationwide strike that would cripple that whole industry in the process

#

Like when a cancer cell in the system forms, you kill it by either cutting it out or cutting all the blood vessels that carry nutrients towards it

German Artillery Tactics in World War 2 are a rather obscure subject, very little is written about it. As such I used mostly primary sources for this video. It covers the basic role of the artillery, the different roles of light and heavy howitzers, the different use of fuzes for different targets/situations, a typical setup and an example of an...

General I suggest firing more shells is useful

#

Volume of fire > Accuracy

#

although logi doesn't like it

karmic ether
#

No lol

#

More shells don’t matter if you’re not hitting anything

unkempt wedge
#

More shells does statistically increase your chances of hitting though

#

Just conventional arty tactics don't work

karmic ether
#

Fair enough

#

But would you rather be able to hit the enemy with more shells for a longer time?

#

Or just fire all that you have with little spotting?

Just fire more shells, and your chance to hit will increase

instead of being accurate with each and every shell

just fire 10 times more than needed

Either blow it up (probably difficult on your own and likely to attract attention of the enemy). Or loot from it

someone came here and i killed him but then i got killed

Better still, loot the supplies from it and then blow it up with those supplies, thats a fun one

You can’t access the inventory of an enemy building

our world would fall apart each nation were fought of the survival

#

grant plans were contructed and most human towns were close to geological hotspots such as Iceland or Greenland

celest crane
#

and i would say "the rich will be safe" but then some communist will butt in immediately afterwards and talk about how we need to depose the upper class

:]

#

where the geothermal energy would be enough to survive the ice age

#

and after that

#

a great reset would start

celest crane
#

we could probably survive the ice age if we start slamming up some nuclear plants

#

maybe

#

hopefully

naive bridge

and life would recover

#

its really hard to drive humans into extinction

naive bridge

not even mother nature ables to

redditors when they find out elon musk was never considering taking them up to mars with him

no labor unions in space julianlol

That desperate"I want to live!!!" is inside every living thing.

leaving earth is a waste of time

We should stay here

colonies on other planets 2 years from here are useless

iirc mars went shitfucked because its core cooled down

i talk about mars

no its not

radiation

#

even if we destroy all mayor towns with at least 3 ICBMs
only 2 billion soul were wasted and after the few hundred years old winter humans will recover.

celest crane

crazy how we can just say it like

#

"only 2 billion people will die"

naive bridge
#

5 Billion is a survivable amount of survivors

#

Also Bomb radiation decays fast

in months

celest crane

ie: hiroshima

nature recovers even faster

and nature ignores radiation

celest crane

ie: chernobyl and fukushima

thousands

naive bridge

I didn't said if we bomb every mayor towns with 3 warheads we still have a few thousands left

true salmon

The us currently has an estimated 4000 or so nukes, a couple thousand of which are ready for deployment

celest crane

so much for SALT

true salmon

russia has like 7000 sitting around

The UK has 200

true salmon

that's cute

thanks

celest crane

so they'll just saturate nuke the entire nation?

as in, every square inch of the USA?

true salmon

a lot of nations are what's termed "cuspal"

Germany is one

So is japan

naive bridge

But still

#

We have been in worse than an apocalypse

there was a time in 1800 when a super volcano erupted which lead to volcanic ash winter around the globe.

true salmon

unknown

celest crane
#

i dont want to find out anyways

naive bridge
#

the crops were decimated

true salmon
#

It depends on how large the nukes are as well as the nukes would have to be aimed at starting a nuclear winter

naive bridge
#

Radiation really not of a big deal.

true salmon
#

Uhm

naive bridge
#

you can get cancer but you have a chance to survive it

true salmon
#

You'd have to have a bunch of high atmospheric nukes, as well as nukes in highly forested areas to create a lot of smoke and raise it into the troposphere

naive bridge
#

humans really survive everything

#

but besides survival the current world system will not be recreated

#

humans still exist on family or tribe level after a catastrophe

#

and that's what helps them to survive

#

only 12.000

#

Nd only 6000

I have a question for all of you since I am working with a writing team on a mod for a game:

Do you want politics in your video games stories? To what degree do you keep them or take them out? Does it mater for the sake of story where the player is ultimately making the final decision?

naive bridge
#

only 3000 to change our atmosphere

#

and only 1000 to reach global control

#

indeed

#

what I could do with a nomadic hunter gatherer culture?

true salmon
#

Of course, if you really wanted to fuck earth with nukes

#

Just figure out how many to detonate around yellowstone to get it to go boom

naive bridge
#

And we haven't even mention the OOP objects (Out of place)

#

objects that are shouldn't be there.

#

like metal artifacts or rings from 40.000

holy siht people actually live in greenland?

Seems like Robert E Howard was right about the ‘cataclysm’

And pre-cataclysm Hyboria

#

Homosapiens are only roughly 200,000 years old no?

naive bridge
#

the metal hammer and the wooden mantle is older than the rock around it.

formal vortex
#

Anything prior would have been us pre-evolution

#

150,000-200,000 years is the estimated age of homosapiens

topaz hedge
naive bridge
#

the hammer only remains noticeable because it were locked away from oxigen for 400 million years

topaz hedge
#

I think it was somewhere in turkey or near there

naive bridge
#

so no rusting

topaz hedge
#

I mean I presume it could be that not every single human on earth was a hunter gatherer and there were probably those who were earlier than most

naive bridge
#

or this little stone and clan gear that found in a greek shipwreck.

#

its a metal gear

formal vortex

Had to have been the aliens

topaz hedge
formal vortex

naive bridge
topaz hedge
#

And it probably offended basically every religion

#

By claiming their gods were outright aliens

naive bridge
#

actually only the print of a Nokia thats fall into mud before the mud fossilised

topaz hedge
#

That said the Ancient Aliens Canon does kinda sound interesting

naive bridge
#

the phone have to fall into the mud a few hundred million years ago.

#

to the mud could fossilised

topaz hedge
#

Perhaps it’s a way of trying to explain everything around us?

formal vortex
#

tbh I don't think I've seen much of Ancient Aliens besides them trying to explain the pyramids, but pyramids are just thousands of years of slave labor.

topaz hedge
#

Maybe one of the steps taken after we gained intelligence

topaz hedge
#

Could help us in our survival

#

That said I honestly can’t think of an example where you need to know why something does something in order to live

naive bridge
#

the power of a plastic plug

#

thats found in a rock

karmic ether
#

religion is kinda cool

topaz hedge
#

Yeah it was probably some way for people to get the large masses together

formal vortex
#

It can be dismantled extremely quickly, that's the main problem with it.

vestal sorrel
#

Religion based

formal vortex
#

For example, Jesus' name would never have been Jesus. Completely impossible. His name was Yeshua.

topaz hedge
#

How’d it get to Jesus?

naive bridge
#

Whatever the fock is this

vestal sorrel
#

Translatiob

formal vortex
#

4 translations of the Bible.

vestal sorrel
#

That’s how

formal vortex
#

Language to new language to new language to new language

#

Also, wasn't even properly translated as "Yeshua" would translate to "Joshua".

naive bridge
#

If we are at religious

topaz hedge
#

Yeah I was wondering where the heck was the connection between Isa and Jesus

formal vortex
#

I explained this all to my friend the other day. If you were a child and you were exposed to every single religion at the exact same time, which would you find believable?

naive bridge
#

Do ye know lads what 666 means in the Bible? from the book or revelations

#

its code for NERO

formal vortex
#

What make's people look at the options and pick one over the other?

naive bridge
#

the roman enperor who tried to exterminate Christianity

topaz hedge
formal vortex
#

Which is why none of it makes any sense.

topaz hedge
#

They’re born into it

naive bridge
#

This is why 666 means the the Devil and Nero at the same time

topaz hedge
#

The unoriginal man

naive bridge
#

be original

#

be a gentleman

topaz hedge
#

Sounds like the title for some 50s sci fi novel

formal vortex
#

Nobody is original anymore, we're not at the beginning phases of evolving into homosapiens anymore.

#

The first functioning human was objectively original.

naive bridge
topaz hedge
#

And you also gotta consider that nature itself is an exception

#

Unless we can prove it, so far no other planet in the universe seems to harbour the same or similar kind of life as we have on our planet

cursive sun
#

I heard about a theory that sapiens were more aggressive and killed the more peaceful human species.

#

Just look at how violent chimps are

warped wadi
topaz hedge
#

Something at least

warped wadi
#

Probably look weird because of the way we are used to things

topaz hedge
#

Whether it looks like us or remotely even resembles life as we know it that depends

#

I always wonder about something

warped wadi
#

If we ever meet something like us we should be afraid

#

That means we are on the wrong side of the filter

#

Probably

topaz hedge
#

After we setttled down in agriculture we eventually managed to harness fossil fuels and create an industrial revolution

#

What are the chances alien life would do the same?

warped wadi
#

Depends

#

Have you ever heard of the filter theory

karmic ether
#

what’s everyone’s

topaz hedge
karmic ether
#

opinions on skinwalkers

warped wadi
warped wadi
#

What kind of life

topaz hedge
#

Let’s say intelligent life

warped wadi
#

Other life forms might be based on something other than carbon

#

Their fossils might not make usable fuel

topaz hedge
#

What if there’s life that could produce energy themselves?

warped wadi
#

We kinda do that but yeah

#

Imagine that

topaz hedge
#

Yeah

#

Instead of giant factories and coal plants it’s just farms of organic matter being used to make energy

warped wadi
#

What if all the other species are highly advanced and just hoping we shut the hell up

#

Cause we are always sending messages out into space

topaz hedge
#

What if they’re waiting to snipe us from space when we knew too much

karmic ether
#

i have a carbon based diet

warped wadi
#

In fact we could do that in the future

#

A nicoll dyson beam

topaz hedge
warped wadi
#

Would take billions of years to build at our pace

#

You know those cheap lasers

topaz hedge
#

I recently watched a video about some artist named Alex Rece and his Birrin Project

warped wadi
#

Imagine one powered by a fucking star

topaz hedge
#

Imma try find the videos

warped wadi
#

That is a nicoll dyson beam

#

A weapon to make a nuke look like a pebble

#

Yes

topaz hedge
topaz hedge
#

It’s kind of our magnum opus really

warped wadi
#

I mean

topaz hedge
#

But that said theres probably something out there that we haven’t been able to achieve yet that would be even bigger

warped wadi
#

I think the most terrifying thing to see in space would be creature without the ability to feel empathy

cursive sun
#

Not true

warped wadi
#

Asexually

topaz hedge
#

Well unless they want to fuck us or anything I dunno if they’d feel empathy towards us

warped wadi
#

Something without mirror neurons

#

To our knowledge

cursive sun
#

Thats not empathy though, thats just instinct

warped wadi
#

Imagine something that felt no empathy

topaz hedge
#

Wait what if

warped wadi
#

Something that just cares about expanding

#

Expanding and survival

topaz hedge
#

There were beings that evolved beyond emotion

#

Like say they placed themselves in supercomputers

#

Actually no that’s just AI then at this point

warped wadi
#

Yeah but big

topaz hedge
#

If you upload your brain into a computer you’re still you

warped wadi
#

Yeah but imagine one that had a civilization that spanned solar systems

warped wadi
#

Is it still you if it has all your memories

topaz hedge
#

Kinda reminds me of War of the Worlds

warped wadi
#

Never

topaz hedge
#

The Martians all died out on Earth due to the microbes that they had no protection against

warped wadi
#

There is no world peace and never has been

topaz hedge
#

Similar to history with colonisation

warped wadi
#

Not really

#

I would prefer to call it endless war

#

Forever small conflicts will be raging

#

Different once’s each time but there will always be bloodshed

topaz hedge
#

Imagine if instead of us being the Europeans and conquering planets of lesser people we were the ones who contracted a disease from exploring new worlds

#

Or even more terrifyingly

#

What if aliens brought their diseases unto us

#

War of the Worlds?

#

I dunno about you but I always thought the original tripod in War of the Worlds looked pretty terrifying

#

Probably because it was drawn in a time where you wouldn’t really expect aliens to be

#

Like if someone drew an alien today we’d all be like “oh wow cool spooky alien that everyone’s already done for the past 100 or so years”

#

But imagine living in 19th century Europe and getting your hands on War of the Worlds and seeing the cover art

#

And you see that tripod

#

Oh yeah that would be one thing

#

Wait that means there’s probably civilisations out there that we can’t see cuz we’re still seeing light from thousands of years ago

#

At least planets all the way out in other galaxies

#

And our current technology is only as fast as said speed of light

#

And warp engines are kinda wack anyway

true salmon
#

Alcubierre drive is the most possible

topaz hedge
#

So whatever civilisation is out there in other galaxies we’d probably won’t be able to establish contact for millions or billions or years

true salmon
#

But it also requires exotic matter with negative mass so rip

#

We likely won't even be able to see them for millions of years

topaz hedge
#

Its like our galaxies are giant continents

#

Surrounded by a very very very very big ocean

#

It’s not like we can’t ever reach other galaxies

#

It’s just it would take absolutely forever

#

multiple generations

true salmon
#

There's some pretty interesting shielding material coming out of the fusion reaction push that absorbs incoming rads and turns it into energy which could be used for some of the rad shielding

#

Well yeah, most of the fusion reaction push is futuristic

#

Since it's literally cutting edge

topaz hedge
#

Sounds like you could put that on a shield and constantly get energy for it just by being hit with lasers

#

Never even heard of fusion reactors up till recently

#

At this point they’re attempting to harness the power of the sun

#

Or just mimicking it

true salmon
#

Way closer

topaz hedge
#

It’s probably gonna take a while

true salmon
#

Yeah, but they're a lot closer to achieving equilibrium than they were

topaz hedge
#

You ever just feel like maybe we’ve gone a bit too far when we make something that’s probably as powerful or as hot as the sun

#

Like I remember learning about something we did that ended up having a temperature even hotter than the surface of the sun

true salmon
#

For a lot of it funding is an issue

#

Especially ITER

topaz hedge
true salmon
#

Fusion reactors started being researched in the 90s

topaz hedge
#

Imagine working on it for your whole life and coming home one day to find out that no one uses a radio anymore

true salmon
#

Fusion reactions for nukes were known since the 50s

#

And really really heavily classified

topaz hedge
#

And that your kids are using this weird thing called dis-cord and tick-tock ?

true salmon
#

The main issue which kept fusion reactions until recently was laser output

#

Most fusion reactors use an insanely powerful laser to heat up the reactant, and as those have been getting more powerful and more efficient they've been able to generate more energy

warped wadi
#

Simple

#

More companies are lobbying for coal

#

While people have bad memories of fusion work

#

Chernobyl

topaz hedge
warped wadi
#

Oh yeah

#

I forgot

topaz hedge
#

But yeah I’d imagine people probably wouldn’t tell the difference anyway

warped wadi
#

Splitting atoms is fun tho

true salmon
#

Funnily enough most of the green movements against fission energy were heavily funded by oil companies

#

Well, nukes do both

true salmon
#

The nukes used in WW2 were fully fission nukes

topaz hedge
true salmon
#

Nowadays they use a fission starter to set off a fusion reaction

warped wadi
#

I’m trying to remember the name of some chemical

#

It’s the future of energy production

#

It’s like uranium but it’s better in every way

true salmon
#

thorium

warped wadi
gray ermine
#

Yes to the thorium reactor

warped wadi
#

Also did you know about that one element that has a half-life in minutes

#

We don’t even know what color it is

topaz hedge
#

I remember an element with a half life of 11 seconds

gray ermine
#

So long as it isn't the color out of space we're good

true salmon
#

Thorium gets talked about for reactors a lot because it can be combined with the waste from other reactors and then used

topaz hedge
#

I can’t remember the name tho

true salmon
#

But thorium can't be used on it's own for a reaction

warped wadi
#

Means if you want to stop a meltdown get rid of the primer

topaz hedge
#

I think it probably a was at some stage

true salmon
#

Boron was used as jet fuel in like the 50s and 60s if I'm remembering right

I don't think it's used in current jet fuels

That is probably the human race in gods eyes if he is real

gray ermine

Fair

warped wadi

We better just treat the robots well if they even get sapience

#

Or they will decide in the first 15 seconds of their self awareness that humankind is a threat and decide to get rid of us as fast as they can
