  • it was different before! it was more artistic 20 years ago!

    :thonk: which is what they were saying 20 years ago. and 20 years before that. Snobs have been complaining about lowbrow pushing out highbrow since like, the advent of the talky. And then in a couple decades it gets reappraised as ‘oh that schlock we were hating on is actually Super Art and the shit coming out now doesn’t compare’.

    But they can never talk about why this is, even though its obvious and has been the same fucking process the entire time. Hollywood has always always always been about getting asses in seats, never artistic achievement. You want to see what artist-lead film is go back in time to the fucking Soviet Union.

    God these nostalgia hogs make me sick






  • Tatar Legion collab’d during the occupation, the government deported a bunch of minorities from Crimea at the same time to ‘secure’ the area around Sevastopol. I guess its comparable to a southern Kaliningrad.

    The resettlement program was not needed and fucked up. The idea was for internal security (why the NKVD did it) because the party got away from ingratiating itself to minorities and lifting them up over what amounted to neo-russification. A goddamn SS brigade who would’ve been torn apart by their neighbors post-war isn’t an excuse.


  • the dam part is perfectly feasible.

    gathering freshwater from that project and hurling it at the Tarim basin … Thats NAWAPA shit. just casually sending large quantities of water 4,000km over the tallest mountain range on earth :sicko-hyper:

    then there’s the fact we’ll have no idea just what the fuck any of this will cause—the dam & greening desert will fuck with rain patterns, the ocean currents, multiple ecosystems, just generally our already unravelling ecology

    but since everythings fucked anyway who cares lets do it. they’re gonna put fucking chalk in the sky and a billion satellites in orbit, it’d be a shame to not build great monuments down here
