"Eyes Wide Shut" is still good but it doesn't hit the same once you know that the Satanic Pedo Cabal isn't made of people who listen to classical music while chanting in Latin in incensed filled rooms, but rather is just Aella posting it on Twitter
Chile recovered its democracy because in 1988 we are at the peak of the democratic world wide wave and domino/'contagion' theory works in our favour to
Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li@sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 17h agoone of the reasons i appreciated this essay from valentin tappia was its illustration of how even authoritarian regimes are trapped by their own narratives of legitimacy. even as murderous a man as pinochet was eventually undone by his own promise to be a "transitional" government
TVR ran old interviews with Djuvara last night and I still struggle were to mentally place him in relation to the other 'intellectuals' who supported the Iron Guard (Cioran, Eliade....etc). He says 5 normal stuff and then goes on esoteric rants (he obvs did his classic Cuman rants unprompted lol)
Asked the AI to make comprehensible list of books on early Arab history and it just told me to read Tabari
Imagine how people must've felt going from the ghettos of the pogrom ridden Pale villages of Ukraine/Belarus/Lithuania...etc when they got to live as normal working human beings in NYC suburbs or random Ohio towns
Mihnea@miyhnea.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is very true but there is a strand of thought, especially back in 1800-1920's when the Jewish migration wave at its peak, where the US is seen as this blessed land of the free were even the poorest wretch from the Pale could live as an equal human being, who happens to be Jewish
This was such a fun idea. I hope i get more schizo stuff in future
Mihnea@miyhnea.bsky.social · 3d agoI'm naming em after Princes/rulers. In this timeline Grant shall fight the CSA at "Sheykh Mansur" on the Mississippi
LARPing a bit in Vic3 by naming all states and cities in US after the places of the first mass migration target. So i present to you Bosniak-Virginia
As Herr Marx said: "In '68 a tragedy. In '26 a farce"
Cai@annenotation.bsky.social · 4d agoYeah, I just don't see how this is supposed to work. I don't get the theory of it.
In Romania you could legally report Nemets for racially profiling his Oromo pizza delivery guy
Mihnea@miyhnea.bsky.social · 3d agoThe Romanian state/ruling oligarchy through a mix of boomerism, not really caring of backlash and the scare they got last round with Georgescu is pushing hilarious laws. From the old schizo campaign rulings, to now declaring everyone online with +100k followers a "Media figure" subject to media laws

The strait is now frankly a secondary driver of Saudi policy. Taiz is on the breaking point and it opens the road to Aden Houthis can't run a demobilized society, i simply do not believe it and think Riyadh does it to, they'll move to Najran if they achieve victory bsky.app/profile/aphc...
Alexander Clarkson@aphclarkson.bsky.social · 3d agoAll the same people who assured us that Israel could never defeat Hamas to only then underestimate how far the Israelis would go to flatten Gaza are now claiming that the Saudis could never defeat the Houthis
Americans look at 1.1 fertility rates in Mexico and Guatemala and mock Euros regarding pensions. You're 20km behind us on the same road buddy. "We'll do it different!" Sure you will buddy, sure you will.
Very funny how all the old athletes in Romania are anti-EU nationalists. From tennis: Tiriac and Nastase are AUR voters. From football: Hagi and Gica Popescu are AUR voter, Dinu is an open stan of Codreanu, now i heard Piturca on tv yell that "the EU destroyed football"
5D chess is daily Romanian politics
Mihnea@miyhnea.bsky.social · 6d agoin Romania you have to maneuver your opponents into power to defeat them. This was a PSD-Presidency attempt to get "us" into power less than 2 years before an election "Our" goal is to maneuver PSD into allying AUR and form a govt so we can enter elections from the opposition
I think Dragos Pislaru, a talk show head, expressed the feelings of about half the country, the old traditional anti-PSD circles, regarding a PSD-AUR coalition "Thank God, against PSD we know how to yell". Its a very true sentiment on the ground. Nobody knew well how to fight AUR in truth
Marius S. @unmariuss.bsky.social · 6d agoGood, the only way out of the current hell is to go through it. Hopefully this means PSD will be thoroughly punished at the next elections.
Far-right's AUR vice-leader Peiu telling a journo today that they are "pro-Western" and do not support lifting sanctions on Russia. The slow inevitable drift towards the PSD-AUR gov continues. Only Simion's egomaniac personality stands between it and if he's not careful he'll be quickly swept up
Even the USR ministers PSD hates are getting parliamentary hearing approval. The meme outcome may actually happen and pass (from 0% to 15% chance tbh)
Mihnea@miyhnea.bsky.social · last wk.Praying to the Gods that the gov made from parties I support does not somehow stumble into a majority to form the govt
The Romanian population is still on average generally positive about Trump, with the added caveat that ROs don't usually openly hate foreign politicians But i do not believe this perverse supplication and ass licking that every politician across the spectrum engages in is popular
Vic3 really has to update the US content bcs its horribly out of date and silly The issue is it can't model one of the great benefit of the civil war being Republicans could easily pass backlogs of legislation without southern states that fueled the industrial boom of late 19th century
Its amusing how Europe has taken a very good and active policy regarding Syria, meanwhile for all the propaganda of the Assadists 2 years later Erdogan still hasn't prayed in the Umayyed mosque
MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦@maks23.bsky.social · 7d ago🇪🇺🇸🇾 Kallas: Finally, on Russia's military presence in Syria, Russia used its basis to help Assad kill Syrians. Moscow still shelters him. We hope that recent memorandum will lead to a reduced military presence and influence. Syria has credible alternatives to dependence on Russia.
Republicans in Texas: Misinterpreting the 2024 result to mean that the body politic is that into White nationalist Volkism Republicans in Ohio: Misinterpreting the 2024 result to mean that the body politic isn't that into White nationalist Volkism
William Adler@williamadler78.bsky.social · 7d agoThese are apocalyptic numbers for Republicans in Ohio
-Using AI to do your homework is bad -Using AI do give your piece a check for grammar mistakes is perfectly fine, especially if you write in a 2nd-3rd...etc language. Nothing wrong either with letting it do a basic editors look as well, you can very well learn new words and phrases
Johannes Franzen@johannesfranzen.bsky.social · 7d agoIncredible stuff.
Arnie's accent was so thick and unintelligible to contemporary audiences his dialogue was ADRed by someone else. These days, of course, the original is preferred.
This is about movies but a perfect encapsulation of this phenomena in modern world is to tell someone to go play the first Crysis Everything is mediocre about the game now, but then it was the trend setter that pushed the boundaries of the entire industry
Albert Lee@albertl.bsky.social · 7d agoYeah, it's definitely more impactful when you see it before everything that's drawn from it since
I wasn't really blown away by Roshamon tbh. It's good but not really this masterpiece (And yes I got it)
Praying to the Gods that the gov made from parties I support does not somehow stumble into a majority to form the govt
