  • exactly. Trees don’t make it impossible, just make it a pain in the ass to get you compared to sleeping on the ground. You aren’t moving when you sleep, so intimidation and weapons aren’t an option. If there is easier food for these predators, then they’ll go for that. If you seem like too much of a pain in the ass compared to what they know are easier options then you are safe from being targeted.


  • You have stated unsubstantiated claims in favor of the white army.

    When it comes to suffrage the socialists wanted all women to vote whereas the nationalists wanted only the “sophisticated” women to vote. link

    What of value have you said here or elaborate on the knowlege base for us all? For the good of all of humanity it is good to create common understandings to reduce senseless violence.

    I would suggest you to look into dialectical materialism. If you think that we communists don’t understand that actions have consequences, please do some research. Someone with the most basic understanding of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis understands that synthesis is the result of a thesis and antithesis interaction. This book is a textbook for a Marxist-Lenninist country you can read


  • When the CIA provided (and continues to provide) weapons to insurgent groups all over the world, they go to fascists (Ukraine, Argentina), religious theocrats (Mujahadeen), or thugs( MS-13)

    I think the more relevant question is if one nation influences another nation’s people, does it improve the lives of the influenced nation or deteriorate it?

    I understand leaders can make mistakes, but why do you take issue with funding the Finnish Socialist Workers’ Republic in particular?


  • It depends where you go. There are mountain lions in some parts as well. Coyotes and wolves are carnivores as well. Carnivores generally don’t go for dangerous prey unless there is nothing else to eat. Just get yourself high enough in the trees where the bears and coyotes can’t reach you when you are sleeping. If you are with a group of people closeby, they have enough sense to know that messing with one of you is a death sentence.

    Free will is a human’s subjective experience making choices.

    Determinism is describing that the more information about a system, the more the result can be predicted accurately. With perfect knowledge, one gets perfect predictions. (nobody will get perfect knowledge)

    Both of these statements can be true without negating each others premise.

    But why do people think there is some sort of contradiction?

    Perhaps we should look at this dialecticaly.

    A human body has desires and needs to sustain itself and also will do behavior to produce happy chemicals for the brain. The brain creates a model of reality based on its experiences in order to optimize the best experiences. People can calculate less optimal choices because of the incompleteness of their mental models of the universe. There will always be a contradiction between any brain’s model of the universe and the actual universe. A mental model can be reinforced to make that mental model give feel good hormones to the body. When the universe demonstrates to the mental model that it is false in some manner it gives bad feeling hormones.

    Most conservatives in KKKrackerland I have met seem to insist on free will because of the central point of their model is that the world that benefits them and they want to feel that they made the right choices. They tie their sense of self to their nation. When evidence presents itself that the nation is less than good they cling to the ambiguity to justify their “truth” about the goodness of the nation. Those that suffer are merely making choices that are wrong. If the impoverished and criminalized made the right choice, they wouldn’t be poor or criminal. When they do criminal acts to hurt others, sometimes it is for the joy of hurting others. Other times it is because they know that they can get away with it and indifferent to the suffering of those they hurt.

    Most liberals I have met cling to the model of determinism because they get pleasure from being correct more than identifying with victory. Some liberals of persecuted minority groups often identify with that failure and develop a sense of learned helplessness. If one does not believe in choice, one can not see themselves improving themselves or the world. When they do crimes its often because they lack the imagination to meet their needs in a legal manner.

    As a communist I want to improve myself to give myself the power to help others, and in return, I need to have faith that those others will help me improve this wretched capitalist hellscape. I’m a highly empathetic person and I see the needs of all as my own needs. My research seems to indicate that socialism is the optimal means to stop others from harming me and harming themselves, for that reason I support socialism. I don’t need to have 100 percent knowledge to choose socialism in a deterministic material world.

    Yea it is wierd how the past 15 years pop culture has been culturally seem stagnant. The lack of new pop music on the radio and all of the remixes, or the same songs just sung by other artists seems to be more common than actual new content.
