“stalinism” is not a real thing, it’s a word used by trots to refer to people who keep their ideology grounded in reality. I think you’re referring to Marxist Leninists, which I do accept in my circles since I am one.

if by “authoritarian” you mean “when the government does stuff”, then by your logic every government in existence is authoritarian.

If you guys think we lemmygrad tankies are loud and rude, then… you haven’t seen anything yet.

You folks have just been taking advantage of our civility lol, look at how the hexbearians are destroying your fronts everywhere.

World of Warplanes and Slam Dunk. Oh boy, this is a hard one…

Why should we owe anything to a society that actively exploits us and strips us of our rights? It’s not that individuals refuse to cooperate and help each other, it’s that everybody’s too busy fighting for their own survival to care about anyone else.

I think the sardaukar from the new dune movie are pretty cool. I also really like the colonial marine armor from aliens, even though I haven’t watched the movie yet.

Yeah, clone armor is fire.

I’d like to read the book series in the future, which one’s the best to start with?

It’s not bad. I’d say if you’re able to read, for example, Lu Xun’s works, it should be fine, although I recommend the English version since there’s a lot of stuff translation can’t capture.

Personally, I feel like the books deal more with how people interact and behave in a future environment. Maybe Brian(the author’s son)'s prequels deal with that better, but some people hate them.

I think there’s a little stick of some kind of medicine or another you can buy to rub on a bite as well as not touch it, scratching makes it a lot worse. Other than that, try not to have a lot of sweat on you and don’t stay still for a long time outside.

I just throw clothes over the air purifier to cover the light when I sleep. To be fair, it does have a “sleep mode” that has only a tiny light, but it doesn’t make enough noise to help me sleep.

Christi…fascist oligarchy? That’s not us, that’s Adrian Zenz’s wet dream lmao
