Yes, I never disagreed with this. But what irks me is that Stalin did it too and got away with it when, theoretically, anyone (per this treaty) who invaded Poland should've gotten in trouble. Should've been just as much cause for World War II.

As for the Czechs and the Austrians, this was not a trigger for it.

Hobbes would've agreed with me

Not my heroes. Not even close.

The two events aren't even close to being the same you fucking castrato.

I had a dream a while ago that I was working at some kind of factory or industrial setting. Possibly a port? It was a huge facility near a body of water with lots of cranes and loading equipment. Also my 4 year old niece was with me. I wasn't really doing so much work as I was just wandering around the place with her and occasionally keeping her out if trouble. I've worked in industrial settings before but never at a port.

dreamt of an old crush

I dreamed I was being chased by a girl with a butcher's knife, who cut off my finger and wanted to deal harm against me, only I was watching this in the third person, so like… She was chasing someone else, who I just accepted was me. Plus I dreamed some other shit, whatever. Like, I was walking on the beach in some foreign country and I talked to a passerby who told me she speaks like 5 languages and I was impressed by that.

I only have dreams if I nap during the day. What gives?

I only remember a part of my dream where I explained Socialism as a soft kind of Communism

Last night I dreamed that I was with my family gang scrapping a building in a quarantine district nearby the chinese embassy and then it was like a video game with clues about a Chinese diplomat who got lost inside and I kept finding stuff and picking them up then I got paranoid that there was a virus. But in the end I found his body and he had died of some type of poisoning from a classified material found in the quarantine zone and he has an audio recording that said that the British state was covering it up. Then the British Army and Chinese Special forces attack and they have a small mech which my mum drives into with her car and holds it off. Then we escape from the imperialist forces and we go to Eryri and it is super tall and scary and we are driving through the mountains beside sheer cliffs then it ends.

Neidel gets very liberal at times. I had to stop watching TImeghost because of it. it was bad enough during their WW2 run. I can't imagine how much worse it is when they're doing the Korean War. or maybe it's decent?

the tribunate. he analyses the roman empire from a materialist perspective

i watched evangelion till the end & found it kinda boring, even though it's very good except for the sexual stuff

Less to do with elegance of sport and more to do with enjoying being part of a cheering crowd.

maybe euros but the only consistent way to get a strong social safety net from the federal government in burger land is join the military. They basically have their own welfare state.

I wrote a lot about this but the site deleted my shit when I tried to post it.

It's funny you would ask this because I was in the region as a security guy and my academic studies vaguely cover this area. I've written one or two papers on it and have an interest in learning about it.

In general, being an air force pilot or military officer is prestigious in the GCC, so I doubt any state has trouble finding them. As for intel, I have no idea. But when I've run into those types, they tend to look like local and one thing that's clear is that they're all good at internal suppression, so whatever they're doing works.

But yeah, most of the GCC outsources their security services. Kuwait is a notable exception, presumably because of the Iraqi invasion. They seem to only take locals, and they have conscription. They have questionable training. I recall reading a news story about a cop being murdered during a traffic stop while his partner was hiding in their vehicles. Also, while not necessarily common, they have tribal cops in the national police they don't even trust to carry guns, and the department as a whole was only armed with maybe the last two decades. Probably because of the war idk. Kuwaitis are notoriously boisterous but soft. I recall witnessing a fight once that resembled shit we'd see in an elementary school in the US. I'm talking literal Naruto kicks.

Omani military officers have a good reputation and are sought after in the region. I've heard they often find work in Bahrain after service. Seeing the Omani security services in person, they seem well-equipped and competent. I think this trickles down from their work ethic in general. Omanis and Saudis are the only GCC citizens you'll see working regular jobs. An Omani checked me into my hotel when I visited and I found it so novel.

Bahrain is unique in that its security services being mostly foreign is a state priority. Their leadership is Sunni, but since a lot of their population (maybe a slight majority, I think) is Shia, they stack the security services in their favor. A lot of their military and cops are visibly Pakistani. They're armed and seem professional, and they have a track record of suppressing dissent well. One of the few ways to get Bahrani citizenship is to serve in the military for like 20+ years.

Qatar has a lot of foreignerPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Oh, and also GCC states tend to give their security services nice benefits. Like they often have military/police officer association clubs, hospitals, sports stuff, and the like sprinkled throughout their cities.

I mean ok, sure, it's not all about K/Ds but the right has fanatical soldiers willing to kill and to die, what do we have?

I do not care for who's destroying the west. All I care for is to see the west be destroyed.

>>802139
You're missing the point: this shows that the west as a construct is doomed precisely because of the ideologies that it fosters. The more successful the bourgeois are at indoctrinating the population, the gears will jam up.

Right wing extremist ideology is driven by personality flaws rather than being pushed by the bourgeoisie for the most part (Thiel etc excepted but they've got their own little freak circle), the bourgeoisie used to provide a backstop on how evil and dumb people could be in an age of mass media (at around Fox News level) but now the internet lets others offer something stronger and customers in the supermarket of ideology make their own choice.
Fundamentally they are dumb nasty people with dumb nasty instincts who vote for the biggest bastard possible. This is why globally the far right "nationalists" are a trump cult.

>>802156
>driven by personality flaws rather than being pushed by the bourgeoisie
And those personality flaws are the result of the environment (base and superstructure) those right wingers are in, which the bourgeois get to decide for them (at scale, individual choice exists but can only mitigate).
