So I put a picture of a guy wearing a headband on your headband.

Yeah. For context, that question and the ones leading up to it were about how persuasive I found a rethuglican attack ad against KKKamala regarding her tenure as the border czar and letting "10 million 'illegals'" across the border.

Blueprints I think.

“I think we’re in an age when nuclear deterrent is actually less effective because the West is very unlikely to use anything like a nuclear bomb, whereas our adversaries might,” he added. “Where you have technological parity but moral disparity, the actual disparity is much greater than people think.”

There's a moral disparity alright, but it's not the US who has the moral high ground.

There are two sources that I think are from two English translations that you can get for free, but I don't really know the differences

The one from Iskra Books is most likely better. The one on Prolewiki is the English translation of a Portuguese translation of the original Italian, whereas the one on Iskra Books is a direct English translation from the original Italian.

Yeesh, I thought you were being hyperbolic, but it really is that bad! He even has this massive self report towards the end:

And how do you avoid being punished? There are two ways. One that works; and one that doesn’t. The one that doesn’t work is to design everything up front before coding. The one that does avoid the punishment is to override all the safeties.

And so you will declare all your classes and all your functions open. You will never use exceptions. And you will get used to using lots and lots of ! characters to override the null checks and allow NPEs to rampage through your systems.

Uncle Bob must be the kind of guy who makes all of his types any when writing Typescript.

The defederated from Hexbear as a preemptive last resort.

The only time it's appropriate to cite Mein Kampf is when pointing out the parallels between the Nazis' settler colonial extermination campaign and Amerikkka's settler colonial extermination campaign. Also:

Isn’t it hypocritical for their admins to accuse us of “negativity” when they literally allow racism on their instance?

That's a waaaaa👶 tabboutism!!1!1

I'm a very materially comfortable first-worlder. I have a lot to lose from the immiseration of my class that would materially put my skin in the game, as opposed to simply relying on some sense of morality to carry me. I'm worried I might be compromised; although I suppose recognizing this already puts me ahead of many so-called leftists in the Great Satan.

I'm flattered by the comparison, but unlike Stalin, I've barely made any steps to strengthen the working class.

If I don't end up a deadweight or a counterrevolutionary, that'll be good enough for me.
