 Venezuela’s opposition yet again cries fraud in the 28
 July presidential but fails to provide evidence. Meanwhile,
 hundreds of thousands of Chavistas, their frustrations
 grounded in the understanding that the US-hybrid war is the
 root of the crisis, take to the streets and chant no
 volverán: they [the oligarchy] will not return.

 | when you're indoctrinated into weird parasocial relationships with a multitude of identities that have been
 engineered into being your society's sacred cows & children,
 you typically tend to virtue signal over them, either out of
 fear, demented pathological altruism, or full blown
 narcissism. assuming you've been indoctrinated (and a little
 mentally ill), that is. politics & ideology are mostly
 low-tier manifestations of psychological expressions, hence
 why it's completely inane to look at politic & ideology
 through the lens of, well...politic & ideology. then again,
 abstraction does not seem to be a strong suit for those that
 gravitate towards "leftism" as they call it these days (what
 would they have called it 500 years ago? 1000 years ago?
 5000 years ago? 10,000 years ago? hmmm?)

 i did watch the intro. it was a bit unsettling to me,

 mostly when i see it irl, these tech-y, or otherwise forward
 things, like for instance architecture, i feel it looks
 dystopian

 bit of an odd title, though they are saying that. Tucker
 Carlson, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin were shilling, but are
 claiming to be a victim. they were shilling allegedly, but
 the DOJ doesn't indict them for nothing. the article gives
 enough proof
 
 i guess and hope they're done now. but others will take
 their place

 | I read this passage in the new translation of Losurdo's book on Western Marxism and thought of this discussion:
 
 Let's try to formulate an initial summary of the
 different forms that Marxism takes in Europe and in Asia.
 According to Merleau-Ponty, Marx imagined “a
 noncapitalistic future” that he hoped would be an
 “absolute Other.” This vision, well-represented in
 Western Marxism, is absent in the East. The underdeveloped
 countries, before they can completely tear down capitalism,
 first must, and want to, enjoy the “miracle” of the
 wonderful development of the productive forces that the
 Communist Manifesto rightly attributes to that social
 system. We find Mao in 1940 declaring that the revolution he
 was promoting, before moving on to socialism must “clear
 the way for capitalist development,” even if a capitalism
 strictly controlled by a political power and by a party
 determined to go well beyond it in carrying out the
 revolutionary transformation of the existing society. For
 the Chinese Communist leader, the post-capitalist future is
 not an “absolute Other” to the regime that it is
 intended to replace; more than a total negation, we find
 ourselves before a sort of Hegelian Aufhebung, a negation
 that carries with it, even if in a radically new context,
 the heritage of the high points of that which is negated. It
 is a question of transcending capitalism but without
 compromising. It further strengthens the capacity for
 developing the productive forces to which it gives
 impetus.

 | that's explained away quickly 
 the book starts with (spoilers for beginning of Ministry for
 the Future) a heat wave that kills 3 million Indian people.
 it's quite a good chapter. in the later chapter i mentioned
 it's explained that BJP was in power wheb that happened, so
 they get blamed (not too rationally, but politics isn't). so
 then a broad coalition comes into power. and there's other
 factions as well

 | Jebus talk and dogs lol Dogs die and become worm food like humans unless they are
 creamated. I’d like to believe that there’s a Heaven and
 I’ll seee my awesome grandparents and friends that have
 passed and Mark Bell,
 But I gues I’m not buying into it or gonna bet on it.
 
 But I do love dogs, good video
