*gets banned*

he was more of a paleocon though

quick maths

aww yes concert coming up

Byron de la Vandal has good woke acoustic music

paleocons get race but it's not their main focus

damn it. I thought the new Austrian government was OK

I think if you’re in charge somewhere, you get to participate in the events there

I’ll be here all evening, folks

oh god my eyes

not sure how to feel. An Irish guy who’s somehow Mexican just beat a Russian guy at boxing

going on a road trip and postering along the way tomorrow

@folks in charge - if I have some pics for activism_photos, do I just post them there or should I go through somebody?

yep

part of the NY anti-Cuomo/pro-ICE campaign

someone suggested that I send them up

yesss someone gets it

real Russian Empire hours who up

btw if anyone speaks or is learning Russian, “The Admiral” is a good series to watch

sounds good, thanks

thank you @William Russell

check out the Myth of the 20th Century episode on the Holodomor

and you see that it (and other policies) were deliberate

even Ta-Nehisi Coates (!) in the Atlantic (!) wrote about how about a third of the NKVD was of a *certain background*

reeeeeee

oh, you’re new? welcome!

inb4 fun patrol shows up and shuts down the anime girls

quick everyone, act normal

but back to the topic: while you can’t deny that there were issues with the Russian regime by the early 1900s, the Bolsheviks were the worst possible outcome of the revolution

there were good reformers and bad reformers, but they were generally still pro-Russian people

not so with the Bolsheviks

true. but even they were subverted or forced out of power

there were anti-Red social democrats and constitutional democrats

disclaimer: the revolution was still a bad thing

if you account for other events that happened as a result, absolutely yes

@Jacob without getting into a debate over which political system is best, Russia isn’t very culturally suited for non-authoritarian government

one counterexample: Lichtenstein

has a monarchy with real powers

is also the closest thing to a true libertarian state out there

that’s absolutely true

I don’t mean dudeweed libertarianism

there ya go

basically the bottom line for both libertarianism and socialism, and a lot of other relatively radical systems, is that you need a high-trust society

I think we can all agree on the high-trust society aspect. Bringing that back is enough of a struggle

btw Myth20c had another good episode on Lithuania, guest starring a Lithuanian nationalist

very cool little country

that’s understandable, though

the Russian Empire wasn’t kind to Poland and the Baltics

and historically, that region is its own thing. The P-L Commonwealth went from the Baltics to the Balkans at one point

the term is “intermarium” - “between the seas.” It wasn’t meant to be a Russian territory

democracy, when not restrained by voter qualifications, can absolutely ruin a country

Ukraine, possibly

I mean, it was literally Kievan Rus

but the Baltics and Poland are concerned that they’re next

oh, it does, believe me. People in Central/Eastern Europe *really* know their history

my gf is Polish and she’ll tell you the whole story going back to uhh 900 AD or so

it’s like genetic memory

yes, half Russian

go for it

I’m not sensitive

ohhhh that one

@YourFundamentalTheorum the joke is “X aren’t white.” We don’t use it because while some people think it’s funny, others (quite understandably) don’t

and we’re all European anyway

which is *much* cooler

ok here’s how Europe should be:

Western: an alliance but not an unholy mess like the EU
Central: the Visegrad bloc countries recreate the Austro-Hungarian Empire
Eastern: Russia but with its historical territories

there’s your nightly hot take

Russia is concerned about China encroaching on its territory in the far east

true, but I think it’s a matter of necessity for Russia

I think China will happily screw them over when it becomes convenient

they’ll still eat us for lunch if we don’t get our act together..

I don’t mean in terms of muh military spending, I mean in terms of being a serious country

the US

I’m sure there’s a tweet from NATO public affairs celebrating pride month or whatever

so you are literally right

aaaaaaah

that reminds me, I need to get something to liven my place up. I travel a lot so I never really felt the need, but it feels too Spartan

maybe some owen cyclops art

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL I’m burning my SpaceX rocket

haha of all people to get my money, Elon Musk isn’t the worst

I’m semi-convinced he’s one of the crypto-NRx people in Silicon Valley (like Peter Thiel)

ok maybe not so crypto lol

maybe @Reinhard Wolff could give us the low down on famous people with 🐸 or 🌲 alt twitter accounts

quick question: i was told that there are IE servers for people of different faiths, how does one access one if one is interested?

(not meant to be controversial - I’m cool with all European faiths, just have one I’m interested in bc of my own background)

hmmm, ok. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll think about it

@Jacob Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak

renaissance man, navy officer, anti-bolshevik fighter
