Feel for the parents. Losing two sons in one blow, hideous.

Hot tubs or hot springs are superior imo

Oh 100%. In the bath I will let water out and add hot every now and again. Although I don’t have a bath where I’m living rn 😭

Damn so the state could house thousands of homeless people in a week if it wanted to. Interesting.

(Lets say two weeks to make it nicer than a prison)

The second their empire stopped sending them tribute, their country began a slow collapse

If imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, it stands to reason that if you take away the imperialism it’s no bueno

In any other circumstances I would say that this wile e. coyote shit is too comically evil to be real, but genuinely can’t be surprised anymore by the levels they will stoop to. It’s guilty until proven innocent at this point.

 
 

I looked into this “Tibet action group” think tank and its run by some random Canadian-born lady. It doesn’t seem as off-kilter as something like falon gong, that being said I didn’t go further than a couple of Wikipedia pages.

One of my most used websites! I hope it isn’t permanently gone kitty-birthday-sad does anyone know anything? And more importantly does anyone know a good alternative?

 

It’s totally legal nobody stops you. It’s very peaceful in there too when nobody’s around. Just the hum of machinery and warmth from the driers.

 

I’ve been listening to Guerrilla Warfare this week and it’s just had me thinking about Che more generally, particularly how he was essentially killed trying to replicate the Cuban pattern in Bolivia.

Was his strategy adventurist? Did it become adventurist by applying it in the wrong conditions? Were the Cuban revolutionaries just adventurists that got lucky - (Fidel wasn’t even communist at the time so it’s hard to say they were following some kind of Leninist line)? Do we just call armed insurrections adventurism if they fail, heroism if they win?

I wouldn’t consider myself an expert on Che or the movements he fought in, I know a decent amount about Cuba, but very little about his time in Africa or elsewhere. Looking to start a discussion and hopefully be educated by comrades who are more well-read on this topic.
