@koniginpreussen it's more complicated and people don't end up where they are because they're better or worse. it's out of our control a lot of the time. i got lucky in a lot of ways. but, it's possible to change how you feel about where you are and effect SOME things. it's worth doing that.
@koniginpreussen i didn't say disgusting. i was, and get this, transitioning specifically to look less like that. not gonna lie to you on that. i think you might be the one projecting. you don't think of yourself as a lion, do you? well, the truth is the world doesn't work like that anyways.
@koniginpreussen i barely post anymore! i hate this website, and the only reason I'm talking to you is because, believe it or not, i don't hate you. i barely know you. all i see makes me think that surely, there is someone in this world who cares about.
@koniginpreussen i'm spending time because i see you as a human being in a vulnerable place and i hope, sincerely, that maybe you think about these things differently. i'm not a rat, you're not a rat.
@koniginpreussen@ATFintern@vogon_laureate i'm trying to speak to you with empathy. not sure what to say if that enrages you. let me be clear: continue on this path and it will be necessary for society to put you down.
@RedFrontTweeter@gedronkthebeast@bOysterous69@CogentCEO@ZeroSuitCamus lenin's description of the material base for socialism, collectivized industrial agriculture and heavy industry both managed by the dictatorship of the proleteriat IN ALLIANCE WITH THE PEASANTS was possible without obliterating the existing agri-capacity of the peasants.
@RedFrontTweeter@gedronkthebeast@bOysterous69@CogentCEO@ZeroSuitCamus you could have, post civil war, taken substantial amounts of essentially destroyed farmland and nationalized it, offered government assistance with building machine-farming capacity to smallholding peasants, and yes you still have to confiscate land from wealthy peasants.
@RedFrontTweeter@gedronkthebeast@bOysterous69@CogentCEO@ZeroSuitCamus also, re: Barbarosa, Stalin kneecapped the red army with his paranoid purgings! he did not need to kill the best armour theoreticians of the inter-war period and destroy the officer corps. ridiculous to praise him as a fighter against capitalism, he was an inhuman incompetent.
@RedFrontTweeter@gedronkthebeast@bOysterous69@CogentCEO@ZeroSuitCamus you can industrialize in a way that isn't guided by the daddy issues of a deeply cruel man. i refuse to engage with a socialism that is cruel. even lenin, ever the pragmatist, never planned for that process to even approach stalin's method because it was not neccessary.
@RedFrontTweeter@gedronkthebeast@bOysterous69@CogentCEO@ZeroSuitCamus stalin was a jobber who's greatest achievement was to industrialize the soviet union, and in that process engaged in an unnecessarily cruel project of ruthless depeasantification. the only counterfactual that justifies it is a soviet union not ready for barbarosa.
@styxywhixy@Ezrat69 i trust someone who wears a collar and takes their responsibilities to the people around them seriously more then a "normal" self obsessive
@styxywhixy@Ezrat69 why? is it mutually incompatible with love, with responsibility, with being a full human being? beside for most these things are performance: an intentional separation from reality, a way to experience something different and soothing. there's exceptions, but they too are worthy
@styxywhixy@Ezrat69 people do not have to live their lives governed by that discomfort. we are all going to die. life is short and joy is hard to come by.
@styxywhixy@Ezrat69 they hate trans ness for the same reason you react with indignation to the kink. they do not need more reasons, and semi-niche pet play dynamics is not gonna move the needle, structurally or socially. i think that more then anything it just made you uncomfortable. thats okay
