Thats crazy its almost like its a rational response to the only options in life as a worker which are to work and destroy your mind and body for the worst jobs humanly possible for the worst pay legally possible for the opportunity to have marginally more money to spend in a dying society on a dying planet or do that as little as possible

Thats crazy its almost as if there was a genocidal war of extermination that prompted all the most dedicated communists to fight to extinguish the threat of fascism

I dont think the comments necessarily grasp the specific nature of perfectionism all that well. Perfectionism in many cases comes from being in traumatic environments where independence becomes subordination and you are punished for breaking others' arbitrary rules. As a result you adapt to these conditions where failing means punishment; you learn that if you want to try something you must not fail.

The way to get over perfectionism is to learn who you are by doing hard things you didnt previously think you can do and to be active in experiencing life and high intensity emotions. Its not that your low self esteem is caused by perfectionism, but low self esteem actually causes perfectionism.

You should if you can try to do some research into trauma itself. One of the most clear signs of trauma is perfectionism and it seems to me like healing the trauma will be the way for you to get over the hurdle of perfrctionism

https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/south-korean-ammunition-headed-ukraine-via-us-wsj-2023-05-25/ Lol it was a "good thing all this ammo im sending to the US isnt going to ukraine wink wink"

Underneath that it seems like the rok is very aware that russian support for the north will roll them if they give everything to ukraine so ig it was like a negotiation rhetoric type thing. Like israel and zelenskyy barking over each other for aid

Theres an incentive for certain aspects of empire to endorse wars but in the last instance the only reason the military industrial complex exists is in order to support the war efforts of empire not the other way around. The US got a lot out of destroying iraq and libya and syria and Afghanistan in its efforts to gain control over SWANA and control the choke point between asia africa and europe as well as the constant capital in the soil.

The tendency for capitalism is to expand but just like the collapse of the roman empire, infinite expansion is not sustainable on a planet w a finite limit of resources.

Theres probably something else to be said as well about the second characteristic of imperialism which is that war destroys capital which creates room for more growth.

Read through it and think the ideas are fine but pointing to it as a ponzi scheme and not an inherent contradiction of capitalism makes it seem like theres some "long term thinking capitalism" solution that doesnt exist

Has blue MAGA started claiming Russia did it yet

Please actually learn about what we are talking about instead of aiming potshots at figures of your imagination

They really had to run the boat named "True Confidence"??

Vijay prashads got some good lectures on it but the gist of it is that this was a huge and expensive concerted effort spanning decades to manufacture and we are seeing it come to fruition now

Every vote for trump is a vote for fascism, and every vote for fascism is a vote for genocide ergo: every vote for trump is a vote for Biden checkmate liberals

There's only like upwards of 200 US military bases surrounding China but it's Chinese aggression we must condemn 🤷‍♀️

Why would anybody astroturf this shitty fucking website lmfao
