In my opinion, the best thing about this election is the permanent destruction of Joe Biden’s reputation and legacy. All he had to do was not run and he could have still retired with an army of libs fawning over him.

But because of his and his family’s hubris, he will be forever known as the “dementia president”. Just like Taft is the “fat president who got stuck in a bathtub” and Nixon is the “corrupt crook president” Biden will forever be known for being the only nominee to be forced out by his own party due to dementia. Even ultra blueMAGA types have acknowledged this. I honestly think that in like 30 years my future children will be learning about that time we had a senile president. (Assuming the USA still even exists)

And that miserable piece of excrement deserves it 100%. I’ve seen a lot of leftists over the years (even some hexbear and Chapo) say things like “he should be retired and golfing”. HELL NO! Joe Biden is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people at a minimum (probably millions if you include the Iraq War and Libya). He is directly responsible for genocide and has defended the most nakedly genocidal fascist state for decades. Even domestically, he was an abysmal turd who shilled for corporations his entire life and supported segregation, greatly accelerated the drug war, supported the Patriot Act, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. At a minimum he should be rotting in a dark dungeon with Hillary, Cheney, Obama, Bush, Trump, and the rest of the demons.

I genuinely hope that before he croaks, he has the final realization that all he will ever be known for is being the “dementia president”.

Words cannot describe how much I now loathe the spineless POS, Bernie Sanders. Which is astounding considering how I basically worshiped him back in 2015/2016.

All this fucker had to do was announce his presidency after Biden’s corpse announced it was not running and he would hold the entire Democratic party by the balls. Seriously, what would the Democrats do? Rig the primaries again? Then threaten to run as an independent and kick them a kick in the balls permanently.

It boggles my mind how the entire “Left” in the Democratic party have been caving nonstop for several years now while the party dived to the right and fully endorses genocide and Trump’s border wall. Bernie and the rest of the Squad weaklings couldn’t even have the basic decency to call out the most televised genocide in Human history. I wonder what libs in 2015/2016 would think if you told them that in just a few short years the Democratic party would be entirely behind Trump’s border wall.

I’m now 100% convinced that AOC and the others would be demanding the left to vote for Hindenburg instead of the Communists if they were around in 1930s Germany.

So this might end up being cope, but I’m starting to think we are seeing a modern version of the Battle of the Bulge happen in Kursk.

At first, it seems like a major L for Putin as the thinly guarded Russian border is overwhelmed by what looks like another PR stunt by Ukraine. But after a couple of days it becomes obvious that this is actually a major offensive by Ukraine. As Ukraine pours in thousands of troops from the Donbass front into Kursk. We are now getting reports that Ukraine planned to go much further into Kursk than they did and possibly wanted to capture the nuclear plant in Kurchatov to do some kind of nuclear blackmail to force Russia to make major concessions.

This obviously isn’t working as their incursion been halted/severely slowed down. Sure it’s another propaganda W, but they are taking massive casualties, while simultaneously weakening the Donbass front and failing to force the withdrawal of substantial Russian forces from Donbass. Even Ukraine NAFO cheerleaders aren’t happy about this one.

So Ukraine now has to choices: Option A is to double down and pray they can hold out and make some gains and remove some Russian troops from the Donbass. Or option B which is to cut their losses and take the L (Ironically what Hitler did several decades ago during the Battle of Kursk).

Either way is would be some kind of poetic irony if the modern Kursk battle ended up being the nail in the coffin for the Kiev regime just like the 1943 battle of Kursk was described as the “last gasp of Nazi aggression” for Germany.

NGL, watching insufferable radlibs and BlueMAGA types eat their own shit is pretty enjoyable.

This is what you get you you rally behind the decrepit husk in charge of a decaying genocidal empire.

BLUEMAGA is in shambles right now.

Can someone explain the whole Dasha/Red Scare pod thing? Last I recall was her doing the Sailor Socialism thing back in 2018 (feels like a lifetime ago now). Then hearing something about her becoming a tradcath a couple years later.

Serious question, but why aren’t we doing the for Ebrahim Raisi? Sure he was against the west and the Iranian revolution was preferable to the western puppet king. But he was deeply right wing and murdered communists during the Revolution.

Also, I find it funny how he completely absolves America’s role in all of this. This piece is written as if us Russians are all Asiatic hordes that want to destroy the West because they have shiny new technology that our Slavic brainpans are to primitive to create.

Kotkin is one of the very few liberal historians who doesn’t completely regurgitate batshit insane takes about the Soviet Union from the Cold War era (For instance he acknowledges that Lenin’s testament was a hoax).

However, his takes on politics are so utterly naïve that one might think he’s some kind of Harvard MBA failson rather than an actual historian. I remember during a conversation a couple of years ago where he basically states that America will win the new Cold War because they have the capability of “self correction” that China does not. Because choosing between two demented racists in an election is apparently “self correction”. This article is more of the same. The Russia-Chinese vassal theory is literally believed by no one and is ludicrous when you consider that America literally controls Europe’s foreign policy. Everything else sounds like it came from redditors in early 2022.

I’m not religious at all. But seeing decaying husks like Lindsey Graham and his ilk go to Ukraine and demand that 18 year old’s be drafted and sent to die in the trenches for the Empire’s proxy wars genuinely makes me want to believe in some kind of Biblical eternal torment.

I was watching some clips from the 2016 election period and I’m genuinely baffled by how anyone could stand listening to her voice. Hillary is so utterly insufferably uncharismatic and is a husk of a human being. My 2016 self was probably still too much into my lib phase to really notice. At least Biden has that senile grampa persona and Obama is a faux progressive.

You would think that after 2 years, someone at the Institute for Strategic Cope would wizen up and realize that making comical claims about Russia’s casualties will eventually stop being effective. If Ukraine really only took 31,000 casualties, they wouldn’t need to mobilize 400,000 more people for the meat grinder. If Russia took the comical level of casualties that they say they did, then would would see every Russian male kidnapped on video to be sent for war. At this point I can’t tell if they are all failsons who fall for their own propaganda or if they are trying to convince dumbass liberals to clap like seals for Biden.

Left of Bernie is far too generous. I’ve seen Trumpsters and even other liberals called tankies by internet libs for not supporting nuking Russia. More like left of Reagan, Thatcher, and Himmler.

Anyone have any updates on Ukraine shooting down 2 Russian spy planes over Azov? I’ve seen claims that the Russian military acknowledged it, but I can’t seem to find anything recent.

I find it funny how just a couple of years ago I was terrified of Ron DeSantis because he had the potential to be an actually competent fascist president, but then he blows up his own political career by going against Like he could have just waited until 2028 to run against AOC or gruesome Newsom and have a decent shot at nomination.

The background codex for Earth literally states that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. I believe they also imply that African countries still haven’t advanced much because they are still being exploited.

Currently near the end of Atomic Heart. So far I’ve been really enjoying the game. I haven’t seen anything explicitly anti-Communist yet like I was expecting so that’s good. There are so many Soviet 50s - 80s references that my parents would probably love this game if they actually played videogames.

I’ll probably play Mass Effect next since I haven’t done a playthrough of that trilogy in like a decade. I kind of hate the Human background lore of Mass Effect since it’s basically neoliberalism 150 years into the future, but seeing how bland sci fi games are nowadays like Star Citizen or Starfield really made me miss Mass Effect.

Joe Biden could take a massive dump in his Depends and liberals will say that this humiliates and owns Xi because he now has to smell it.

What do you mean by very undesirable changes?
