January 12, 20232 yr Another of the thousands of proofs of CRT and its consequences IRL, but of course, the deniers will keep denying it...
January 13, 20232 yr It's looking like after months of positional warfare, the Ukrainian front may start moving again. Putin did some 'holiday ceasefire' drama with the Ukrainians, which was refused by them. Russian forces went on ceasefire on Jan 6th. However, Wagner PMC did not follow the ceasefire and attacked Soledar 1/6 in a planned operation. They took the city and achieved a breakthrough in the Zelensky line about 2 days ago. The city of Bakhmut, the biggest pillar of the line has 1 out of 2 major supply roads threatened. Russian paratroops have been attacking to cut off highway M03 to Siversk, one of the two major supply roads feeding the Bakhmut garrison. In the South, Wagner PMC is attacking towards highway T054. If both ground communications fall, the large Ukrainian garrison will be starved of supplies and begin to cannibalize, and eventually forced to withdraw. The head of the DPR claimed that the Russian command will be moving 'serious forces' to exploit the situation. If that is the case the Zelensky line might be seriously contested. If not this crisis for Ukraine may be just temporary and we will have to wait for more months until the second invasion of Ukraine. If Bakhmut falls, Siversk will be under operational encirclement from the South. The Russian reserves in the Svatove-Kremmina axis could launch an offensive operation and re-take Lyman. Siversk would then be encircled from the North and be in a pocket. Then they could be squeezed until they withdraw, and the front straightens up. After the fall of Lyman, Siversk, and Bakhmut the Russians would be facing the final fortified defense line of the Donbass.
January 15, 20232 yr @Stromboli1 So now, they don't even hide their propaganda any more... they're more parodic than the "eat ze bugs" parodies Quote Eat Bugs! It’s What’s For Dinner https://www.forbes.com/sites/grrlscientist/2023/01/14/eat-bugs-its-whats-for-dinner/?sh=3f1b3b0372ac
January 17, 20232 yr Soledar has been cleared out by the Russians and they are in the process of encircling Bakhmut and cutting off its supply roads. They are very close to cutting off 1 out of 2 main supply roads right now, with the village of Sol falling to them today. Ukraine has sent a large number of reinforcements, there are now approximately 60 infantry battalions, including those in second echelon, deployed against the Russian PMC forces. The battle has escalated in scale. The Ukrainian Bakhmut Garrison will effectively be cut off and forced to retreat if the Russian PMC and Paratroops succeed in cutting off ground communications. If Ukraine retreats from Bakhmut, they intend on defending the small city of Chasiv Yar, to the West.
January 19, 20232 yr @SympathysSilhouette @Enrico_sw I am looking at the reviews for the Witcher novels and it's interesting to see that there are some (typically young) females thinking that the books are too 'male centric' and misogynist. A lot of them mention the Netflix show. Yet there are many, and more women that love the books. The Last Wish (The Witcher, #0.5) by Andrzej Sapkowski | Goodreads It goes to show why the Netflix showrunners had to 'change' the story. There is some sort of cultural/generational gap going on. To me the books' approach to women were 1990s-era feminist and just the right balance for me. But for this era's feminists the books are too weak in feminism and some even say that it is misogynist.
January 19, 20232 yr The show is just largely poorly written and it goes way beyond just the man-woman dynamic. I suspect there is some truth to the rumors that many of the writers don't really like the books very much.

Among Fortune 500 companies, just 9.5% have a female CEO. I cannot get on board with this "woe is me" stuff about the fate of men when they still largely hold all the levers of power. All that fucking non-stop complaining as well.

Fortune 500 CEOs are 0.0001% of the population. The fact that rich CEOs are men doesn't change the life of Bill, a 55 year-old homeless straight white male that lives in cardboard boxes near Washington. You don't understand statistics if you reason like that. In the US, 70% of homeless ppl are men, 75% of divorces are initiated by women, 96% of coal miners (most dangerous profession) are men, etc. Men is not a club. Just like skin color is not a club. People in these groups aren't sharing what they get with each other. When you reason by separating people in communities (that's left wing extremism), you can't understand people's suffering.
January 19, 20232 yr Sure. All straight white men are so full of privileges... Your favorite woke news dealer said so, hence you believe it blindly. Woke extremism sucks out both the empathy and rationality of people. Ideologues who make statements about "all men", by taking the tiny sample of rich people (0.000x%), should get back to maths classes (but since they believe that maths is racist... they won't )
January 19, 20232 yr What's interesting is the impossibility to get even a tiny display of empathy from woke believers. If someone is in the wrong category, he doesn't get jacksquat. So "progressive".
January 19, 20232 yr So what was the last big right-wing policy to help the homeless (since you used a homeless white man as your example)?

The negative goodreads reviews by feminist women are insightful to understanding why the Netflix writers found the series 'problematic' and had to change it dramatically and also make it even more female centric than it already was.

I'm not a right-wing person. You should find one and ask them. It's good to listen (with goodwill) to other ppl's opinion. Back to the subject: how do you justify judging the population based on a sample that represents 0.0001% of it (the uber-rich)? Also, where's the woke policy to make more inclusion for women in coal miners, brick layers, garbage collectors?

Younger generations are terrible, not because they're dumb, but because of the feeling of entitlement they have (social media, poor education, woke cult, probably explain it) Netflix Witcher is a terrible show that have weird and unnecessary tangled story telling, unfaithful retranscription of the lore and this weird touch of untalented Hollywood writing that's been there for the past 5+ years. The actors/actresses is the only good thing in the show.

The 90s and 00s were the perfect years. Everybody had the same rights, people were judged based on their individual merits (not their belonging to a "group": like men, women, straight, gay, alphabet mob, etc.). Younger generation have been molded by a cult (call it the woke, the SJW, I don't care, these ideas are a blight).
January 22, 20232 yr @Enrico_sw About American culture, I think of the Hollow Men sometimes particularly after the Great recession. Eliot wrote this poem to describe British men and British culture after the World War 1. The Hollow Men by T S Eliot - Famous poems, famous poets. - All Poetry
January 22, 20232 yr Russia's PMCs have the Bakhmut garrison by the throat, they cut off the Northern supply routes. Only southern/western is left and they are contested the south. So far Ukraine, despite having 60 infantry battalions have been slowly losing ground. If the South is cut off and Ukrainian infantry cannot counterattack effectively,- I think Ukraine will withdraw to Chasiv Yar and the Donbass campaign will continue from there. In the left wing of Z-Oblast, Russian army thrusted forward and took several towns and are now threatening the city of Orikhiv. This front has been quiet for the past 2 months. This is dramatic stuff and I am at loss to understand what they plan on doing next.
January 22, 20232 yr Quote Google announces ‘difficult news’ as it fires 12,000 staff https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/google-firing-layoffs-sundar-pichai-alphabet-b2266019.html Google fires 12k people, but no uproar in the media (like for Musk's Twitter), because Google embraces the Woke cult. Woke cultists are the useful idiots of mega-corporations, as always.
