Taking notes is important unless your memory is extremely good. If I had an e-reader with a touch screen, I’d use that to highlight important sections, but right now I just take notes in a text editor. You could also use a highlighter pen on a physical book or a print-out

he’s probably gone down a few escalators if that counts

Tried doing so through my username, but it did not update

you probably exceeded the maximum length (there’s no error message in the web UI)

Juche does fuck

“No investigation, no right to speak” is a helpful guideline. This is a good example of how to ask questions like these.

“Authoritarian” is not a meaningful descriptor because it applies to every state, hence “dictatorship of the proletariat/bourgeoisie”. Russia has no colonies, is not imperialist, and is no more “authoritarian” than any country in the imperial core. Russia is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, but it’s ended up resisting the imperial core and deserves critical support in that domain, not for its domestic policies.

yes, the suggestions with a few more upvotes were significantly longer

there’s already a link in the post

The distinction between a non-imperialist capitalist country and an imperialist one is important; if the former is fighting against the latter, the situation is very different

Would this be the moment for the working class of Russia to organize to topple their oligarchy?

Organization is an ongoing project, but taking power without the support of the army would likely lead to a civil war, and now is not a good time for Russia to be destabilized

Edit: Didn’t know Lemmygrad would censor the R-word. Oh well.

if we’re thinking of the same R-word, that’s a slur in this context

you’re on thin ice

ah, yes – RPGs are well known for delivering satisfying experiences in short bursts

you could use any statue of Leopold II, I don’t see what other purpose they would serve

he Otto Grotewohl, DDR prime minister

picture depicts him looking with immense disappointment at modern Germany

There’s OpenKirin, but it doesn’t seem actively developed. Another problem is unlocking the bootloader; Huawei no longer sends unlock codes, so you’d probably need to use something like PotatoNV

I don’t think Lemmy has such a feature; your best bet would probably be to DM a mod you know to be active
