Trump at least knew of to look like he knew what he was saying. He was a decent orator and could at least entertain a crowd. Biden is seriously less articulated and coherent than some people i work with, and i am an educator specialized in polyhandicap

i mean, if you look at the footage of diplomatic meetings you can see very obviously by Xi's body language that he takes the presidents of nations like Barbados or Zambia much more seriously than people like Biden or Trudeau
redditors when they have to realize that the mighty ubermensch superior german engineering tanks get blown up by an atgm like literally every other tank
it's so funny to see lengths NAFO bots will go to turn everything into a victory.
a tank was supposed to reach x, but it got blown up halfway through? "But the crew (according to our unsubstantiated speculation) made it out! the mission was a total success!"
a pmc fielding an army of untrained convicts took over the most fortified city in europe after systematically dismantling the defenses put up by dozens of thousands of ukrainian servicemen? "we inflicted casualties! 1 to 182748 casualty rate favoring the defender because reddit says so! total win!"
the counteroffensive gets obliterated by KA-52 and fails to even get close to the first defense line? "probing attacks! We got their attention! Huge victory! Heil Hi... ehrm, Slava Ukraini!
don't you know that Ukraine is actually a libsoc utopia?
how did these people even end up on here. Like, you won't find me hanging around in neonazi forums for sure. But that would be equivalent to what those people are doing.

More than anything, it's the definitive confirmation that the Lion of Damascus won the civil war. They wouldn't have let him in if there were doubts about his position.
It pretty much says that the arab world has made peace with the idea that Assad and the Ba'ath party are there to stay
Cuba is probably the one i have the most cultural affinity with, so it would not be that hard to adapt and learn the language. But i also can't survive in warm climates, so northern china it is
if i had a time machine i would just go back to 1983 and give Andropov my kidney
I actually think that with the internet and everything, we will gradually move away from "big thinkers". Sure, there will still be people producing decent theory, but i just can't see in the current world a russian revolution like scenario when whole shifts at factories would meet up to read Marx.
I believe we will move towards a sort of "crowdsourced" theory where the main theoretical line is born organically out of continuos communication and discussion until we eventually get to a point where most contradictions and disagreements are solved. At that point the "big thinker" and his work will be one of many inputs, and not some sort of ideological hegemon.
Sort of like it is happening on here. We didn't read the same stuff, but with time the community shaped itself to a point where we substantially agree with each other on pretty much everything.
