I think that’s exactly why the DPRK or even Cuba are good examples. They have issues of national importance such as developing their economies in the face of isolation, and belligerent states on their borders, but the class struggle has advanced in ways that are much harder to dismantle through external pressure short of war.

If Cuba or Korea developed in ways that did not advance that class struggle, and solved those contradictions, they would have been much more vulnerable to counterrevolution than in reality.

Even with emigration, a reality of any country that has been economically isolated or blockaded for generations, you’re absolutely right that beyond propaganda these people are not a security threat to their homelands. In a country with the class and ethnic antagonisms such as Syria had in 2011, people with much more influence and military significance are more often the ones to step out of line with the state first.

Yup. Bad source. They do however have HQ-9Bs which were involved in at least one dead Indian jet.

Yup. I got our QA guy to help debug it and he was like “maybe just dont upgrade the dodgy dependency and delete your cache” lmfao yup fixed it

fun fact your eyeballs are filled with collagen mixed with water to make them round and squishy

Zelensky would probably be replaced by someone much more moderate on Russia even if assassinated by Putin in broad daylight at this point.

That being said, he’s also a sucker who is getting on the bad side of Trump and that is worth more than a yes man in the Rada.

he masterfully outplayed my patience. I was promised Oreshniks but waited 2 hours to see him ramble about his holiday plans to Turkey.

spend a week trawling github and documentation pages only to realise you forgot to delete your cached dependencies

make beanis great again!

Yeah boilers only do that when they’re in distress

I hope that even a little bit of love disseminated on a computer screen from a relative stranger is helpful even if infinitesimally so.

Thank you for sharing.

glados is wlw aro ace. no i wont elaborate

Honestly? Modern Yogscast.

I’m biased as I was a fan as a kid but watching their minecraft shit in 2025 is still so good, and Simon is even funnier now everyone is older and he spouts some hilarious shit. Politically they’re also decent folks too.

I’m glad the Sjin thing was dealt with (I wasn’t watching them back then) but now they seem to be hitting their stride.

Bonus mention

Posy explores weird and wonderful stuff that he enjoys with masterful editing, music, and a voice that should be immortalised on a golden record.

His balatro videos were food for the soul. anti-slop

i hope he goes like that Ukrainian nazi

Maybe I’m libposting when I say this, but having 100,000 less people openly hating you probably brings you more than 100,000 votes - imagine how many people would’ve campaigned for Kamala if she set Gaza as a red line and kept everything else the same!

Not that I disagree because that’s too nuanced for this kind of chart

That last guy definitely voted CHP lmao

the CIA must have updated its editorial guidance

I’m here for the gamergate style discourse specifically about wanting males in videogames to look like bulging-eyed cartoon twinks. Not for any principled reason, just because it’s funny.

especially when you engage in a months long personal beef with the husband of an IDF soldier who probably has a bunch of personal contacts with half a dozen state police forces lmfao
