  • I have no issue with it; and the hobby sounds fun. It’s just that he immediately went to the idea of “money” and in order to turn a profit on something like that would be an insane amount of work; nowhere near what you’d be getting paid for.

    It’s actually kind of a fun thought experiment. It’s basic. Sure, you got these black walnuts. At the current standard of concentrated capital and technological development; the “buy-in” to develop a mechanized process to rind, press and can the stain would be exorbitant compared to even just 50 years ago because the standard of living was at least cheaper (all though you’d be rural, for sure) plus the equipment likely would have been domestically made or an antique farming tool.

    Sure, say you go to the bank and take out a loan. Now you got your line in your backyard. Now you got to try to compete with literal national brands making those cans of stain of cents on the dollar and pay back the loan while selling at a significant cut to compete with these national brands and reaffirming their monopoly. This is pretty much the case with any product. It’s why it’s so insufferable to me that most reactionaries or libs look at something like that and just see “money” when it’s so much more complicated than that. Most businesses fail. Learning that takes just a little theory or at least an understanding of economic statistics on business.

    The other day, me and a friend were enjoying some time underneath a black walnut tree. He’s a good friend, I don’t think he meant any ill by it but he mentioned I should take the black walnuts and make stain out of it.

    Sounded like a good idea, but in order to make stain it’d take a crazy amount of walnut rinds pressed down. Sure, you could sell the stain for 120 or 150 as some home-made bougie shit; but for the effort compared to massive industrial operations that most people go to buy them vs one or two cans of bougie stain that I’d already have to try to pitch to hipsters? Maybe in a different area, but not this one.

    Sounds like something enjoyable actually, but I’m not a woodworker by hobby so I’d have no use for it. Reminds me though that some people look at a beautiful, ancient tree and see money instead of a space to relax.




  • Good job on ignoring everything you read here, spewing out a completely wrong recount of history (from a Ukrainian, no less) and then telling everyone else they’re lying, twisting the truth and calling us corrupt.

    You lie. You twist the truth. It’s safe to assume you love dead kids because people who love Democrats usually love bombing campaigns in the Middle-East or at the very least, ignore them/push them to the side.

    Corruption? What corruption you idiot? What mechanisms of power or government or social institution do we fucking control that is “corrupted”? You wandered into a community of communists with similar beliefs and ideals and said some stupid shit and now when everyone actually dogpiles you and offers you an entirely different form of recourse all you did was plug your ears. We’re “corrupt” because we don’t listen to your bullshit and counter it and all have the same beliefs? This isn’t feddit/reddit.



  • Dirty nuclear attacks pretty much have one purpose; area of denial. If they use them, that’d pretty much be the only purpose. Contaminating a section of land and giving horrible diseases to whoever goes there for 300-10,000 years. At this stage of the war, I don’t think they’d use them at this point or at spent fuel sites but perhaps if they’re forced into retreat?

    Sure, this is RT. An example of looking at this article though is that Russian intelligence or another source from Russian government is concerned about the potential use of dirty bombs. Their info could be wrong or not. That’s pretty much what I get from this; not that they’re going to be used now, where they say it’s gonna be used or etc.

    Regardless of that, we have first-hand evidence here that liberals (of the feddit variety, at least) would be glad to see a land poisoned for thousands of years and thousands more slaughtered to enforce and justify a literal neo-nazi terrorist state that is already eager to commit resources to violence in Africa for their American paymasters during an existential war.

    They can’t get enough blood, folks, they love it.


  • I prefer my sources from the U.S State Department /s ; that’s kinda the point though. Critical analysis of what is being told to you compared to other narratives/viewpoints.

    Dismissing entire sections of information simply because they don’t fit into your narrative or are associated with even a government source isn’t good. You just have to change the lens that you are analyzing it with.

    Of course, libs don’t do any of that.


  • What we actually know now is:

    • The part of Ukraine that wanted to be a part of Russia got bombed in a massive terrorist bombing campaign before the invasion started. Fuck those people, right?

    • The seceded parts of Ukraine want to be a part of Russia; they’ve literally been fighting for it. Russia wanted only those parts until the war had reached a certain point. Now they want the removal of a literal Nazi state on it’s borders.

    • Israel’s diplomats had encouraged Ukraine into belligerence during negotiations and diplomacy with Russia. A literal fascist state full of Nazis would also want me to force the issue of their removal.

    • Ukraine has lost this many lives and have gotten to Kursk. Just take a minute and pull your hand off your dick and your brain out of your Marvel comic-books and actually go look at a map to see how big Russia is. Or keep jerking it to your fantasy.

    • Nazis tend to get pissed easily.

    • What about the parts that want to be a part of Russia? What about the literal Nazi terrorist state that is sponsoring even more terrorism in central Africa targeted at Mali? Oh boy, another Western rogue state getting massive cash-flow and weapons stocked away right next to Europe! I’m sure the sudden surge in arrests of far-right groups all over Europe in connection to arms smuggling has no connection!

    Oh. Go fuck yourself. Go ahead and ignore 2014, seperatists and lick up the propaganda from your Western masters like the good dog you are. I could post sources or links; or just the HISTORICAL FACT that literal neo-Nazi groups have been fighting against Russian separatists in the eastern region of Ukraine. You’d scream and flail about Russian propaganda, or ask “What time in Moscow is it, Tankie” like you bloodthirsty, seething fascists always do.


  • I think the matter at hand is regardless of the views of the executive/“superior” it’s that they’re in a higher level above you doing fuck-all so they’re probably going to talk over you regardless. The only executive I ever met was visiting at the nursing home I worked at that was already falling apart, defunded, etc and the fucker had the gall to walk up to his minimum wage lackey putting in ceiling tiles and go “Oh man, I remember when I had to do that too!”. Slip of the hand and a huge chunk of ceiling dust, tile shredding and German cockroaches and their shit (was a shithole) fall out of the ceiling on both of us when the tile splits in half. Was gross but worth it.




  • You know, that’s fine and all; but if you went to the one closest to me and tried to pull “individual action” and start politically organizing as a white person the Rez police will probably just beat the shit out of you and drop you off at the border.

    Turns out most of the communities just want you to fuck off entirely unless you’re there to buy something or contribute to their community. Advocating for them is good. Running over there to play political missionary isn’t. In a lot of political situations, there are advocate groups or similar (AIM) that are meant for collective struggle and will work with your organization or group if you want to support. This dude is just tryna get people shot.

    Also this guy is acting like we can’t just “go there and talk to them” already. There are a few native americans…you can go meet one online without doing stupid shit on their land.
