My fellow USAmerican trans folk... How are we feeling about the upcoming inauguration?
Yeah, so your ai can generate shitty images of anime waifus with fucked up hands,but can it ship hundreds of tons of opium out of SE Asia???
I contend that Animal Farm is really only interesting if you understand the weird mix of western anti-communism, and trot/ML infighting, that led Orwell to write it.

Howdy! I'm cozy on my day off, enjoying the snow outside :3

This is also worth probing. The boundaries of what constitutes Poland have shifted dramatically over the centuries, due to constant interference from larger surrounding States. "Where is Poland" is a facet of this that goes unexamined in the video, which is troublesome.

Too many western Marxists froth at the mouth, seeking the purest information possible, and rejecting the consumption of anything else.
All that does is make people into shitty Marxists.
