Yeah, Sweden is going all in on military expenditure since our planned ascension into NATO seems to be giving everyone a hard on, despite decreasing security and increasing the risks of entering into conflict. Any alternative perspective is discarded, polls show a majority is in favour of the ascension, so no one is willing to drive any counter opinion. Military service is also expanded, the weapons industry is having a field day (if the stock market is any indicator). All in all a total shit-show with no sign of slowing down for at least a decade.

I think there is room for both processes if we’re to give Chomsky some leeway no? The capitalist basis, and the power relations which follow, is of course the “driver” of this but there are still differences between the US, which has essentially destroyed the world many times over, and capitalist countries like modern day Germany or Norway. Can it be explained solely, and deterministically, by the power expansion of the capitalist base? Or are there other processes, call them culture, or ideation, which exhacerbate the psycotic nature of the base? I believe so, but I don’t know if the word culture is best to describe and lump such processes together, but does that matter?

It is of course an idealist interpretation but I believe these can help in materialist investigation, or in the construction of a critical theory.

I’ve picked up sewing and I’m getting pretty decent with my thrift slaughtered fabric dresses :)

Who must go?!?? This made my day :) The curse lives on!

Donteskt children are being bombed by NATO, see the bomb behind the girl, the text on it reads NATO. Also the girl’s face and eyecolor is that of the Donetsk republic. Also Maruipol was one of the strongholds for nazism, as in not just an Azov HQ but also had a diaspora of WW2 nazis, which to my understanding had settled there.

You can always just say it is a study of revolutionary artistic style. The thing to be concerned about is mixing your real world pieces, that you would put in a portfolio, and the ones you publish under a pseudonym.

People who uncritically, or unironically, use tankie will get the wall.

I think the AI is going out on a limb a bit. The features in the output are just a bit off, it doesn’t look like him anymore. Noseridge, eye spacing, hairline, cheekbone pronounciation, eyebrow spacing, mouthprofile, it’s kind of interesting how the normalized output reshapes the original.

In Sweden it is cast as a Russian/Wagner takeover snce we’re unable to comprehend anything outside of an colonial framework, instead of a struggle for self determination. That being said any counter narrative is portrayed as pro Russian propaganda being spread on pro Russian social media. Nothing is said about the French colonial bullshit, the unfair and exremely exploitative extraction of natural reaources, or even any attempt to correctly historically contextualize the “coup”.
