God I'm glad nobody irl has ever heard of these people. I dread the day I tell someone that I'm a communist and they think I'm one of these people

There is stuff you can get to coat your lenses. You spray it on, let it dry, and for a few months your lenses won't fog up at all, from anything. It's pretty sick
A really absurd thing is how the same lazy narratives are deployed across such a giant range of different societies. Like Morroco, Russia, China, Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, and so many other places. All those are basically the same, yeah?
Like think about the myth of Thermopylae: 300 brave Greeks sacrificed themselves holding off the countless Persian hordes, keeping the Greeks free of the despotic Persian empire.
(Just ignore the thousands of Greeks that were there who weren't the 300 Spartans, the fact that Sparya wasn't exactly a free society, that Persia was a better society in basically every way, that the reason they didn't conquer the rest of Greece was more that their supply lines were stretched that far away from thier power base, etc)
We tell ourselves the same sorta myths now
It's basically a bunch of bullshit the amcient Greeks thought about others, especially Persia, that has been transmitted with little changes through thousands of years through "western" culture, though who exactly the "west" and what the "orient" is has changed.
The west is full of free individuals, the east are unthinking slaves to despots. Western men are properly masculine, eastern men are either effeminate or have a savage, animal masculinity. Eastern women are titillating and "exotic". Westerners are brave and noble warriors, easterners are a disorganized "horde", if they ever win its just cuz they have superior numbers and no regard for human life. Only the west has real civilization, others are either savages or overly civilized or "decadent" Etc. Etc.
Once you know about it, you see it fucking everywhere, throughout contemporary society and going back literally thousands of years in history, literature, philosophy, etc. It's sickening. The "west" needs to be destroyed, materially, morally, ideologically.
People always miss the real point of that book: that british "people" are savages
Water sucks and is boring. I want am explosion of flavor in my mouth at all times tbh
Ooh, that's a good idea
Ayyyyyyyyy finger guns
What're some cool posters I can put up in my house with people who aren't men on them? Like I have several pieces of art depicting Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Kim IL Sung (the GOAT), but while I love those guys, I'd like a little gender diversity
Crystal logic is such a sick fucking album. One of my all time favorite metal albums. His voice is so giving weird, but it works!
