  • Well well, this is getting more interesting. Still not sure how this will play out. Mark Galeotti’s excellent book Putin’s Wars mentions several wannabe warlords whose escapades came to quick and bloody ends at the hands of Russian special forces or the FSB.

    I’m actually a bit surprised Comrade Shitheel Prigozhin hasn’t met the same fate. Perhaps his Wagner wall of meat is still seen as having service to render to the Kremlin.

    I don’t at all see Prigozhin as a leadership threat to Putin, but I like that he and Strelkov and Kadyrov are all busy trying to one up each other’s stupidity. I’m all for it as long as it hastens Russia’s battlefield defeat. If it leads to Russia’s decolonization, all the better.






  • What a great article. Thanks for posting it. I plan on sharing it around.

    The only issue I take is with the author’s use of the word “fool.” Higher or lower levels of intelligence/ability may exist and are obviously acceptable, but what worries me more than this are people who are bigoted or hateful and want to spread their (lack of) ideology.

    Regardless, I think I get what the author is trying to say, and overall I think it’s a great message, and especially in these early post-Reddit days that many of us are currently witnessing.







  • This is SUCH a good post. I love the energy of embracing the new, even with its inconveniences, and perhaps especially with them.

    I’ve felt for years that this drive for convenience at any cost not only helps create bland societies and exacerbate environmental and economic destruction, but it also makes each of us that much less adaptable every year.

    I’m weak as fuck, but I still believe there is essential value to be had in some discomfort and inconvenience on a somewhat regular basis, and this also goes for community-building, which I feel very fortunate to be witnessing in real-time.
