wouldnt other plants just move in between the trees on their own though? agricultural monocultures dont stay monocultures on their own, they’re actively maintained, arent they? unless the trees are planted so densely that nothing can live beneath them, but based on some of the images in the article, it doesnt look like that.

peak car was like columbo era and before, and it’s been all downhill since then. they just look like bubbles. or cheap sports shoes.

most likely a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B

A Real Humam Being.

it was metacrawler in about 1996 on a silicon graphics machine, running some early netscape. at my dad’s work. google didnt exist yet, of course.

First it was the unicorn invasion of Dundee and now this!

is man who thinks it’s sad that poor people exist is actually laboratorically produced child of stalin and mao

economy war is when the west voluntarily hands you all its production and then gets mad that someone somehow handed the production over. i guess.

edit: the people actually waging economic war on you are your own god damned ruling class.

so the system is successfully selecting for people who enjoy doing this.

vim? neovim?

sure, but i’m saying he might be a principled anti-imperialist, he might be a well-meaning lib, or who knows. wiki says he’s against US foreign policy and indian hindufascism, so that’s 2 out of 2 correct opinions.

i think it might have been this guy: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy3KRgc0HE8C1aMDhtEX5np43SxhcjOTC

caveat: i dunno anything about him (or india, really) so he may be some kind of crank

i remember hearing it in a lecture by an indian professor on youtube, but i cant remember anything else… the account of the ban by the british on wikipedia smacks of white man’s burden, which fits with what the indian professor said in that lecture.

edit: i mean, the brits banned the practice in 1829 and i’m sure they patted themselves on their backs for it, but remember what they were doing in india at the time. they definitely didnt give a shit about indians. listen to this smug british governor writing to some would be widow-burners:

Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs!

yes, very based, widow burning is terrible, but this is a british governor of an indian province, operating the orphan crushing machine on behalf of the british.

IIRC the brits were already using this exact shit against india, using caring for women (stopping the funeral burning thing, ostensibly) to do brutality.

national liberation is when you collaborate with the genocidal nazis to murder jews and poles. got it.

what’s the difference then? that bandera was less successful? that’s it?

streets re-named after a fascist mass murderer, yes. so if the germans suddenly started renaming streets after adolf hitler, you’d dismiss that too. nothing to see here.

a lot of these were renamed after bandera recently, which shows that banderite ideology has full state backing, but sure, it’s just a few bad apples.

one problematic aspect

mmhmm

other bangers commonly found:

• soviet efforts barely mentioned, definitely no mention of who killed 80% of the nazis.
• always has a bit about stalin vs hitler, the two totalitarian titans clashing, wow they’re the same
• no mention of any non-aggression pacts except molotov-ribbentrop, no mention of allies giving czechoslovakia away, no mention of poland getting a piece of it, no mention of who eastern poland belonged to a few decades before
