We're Mao.

[Ideologue]

Meh, I'm a lefty that doesn't believe in pacifism.  Does that make me Stalin or Mao?

Given your troubles with USAJobs, maybe Charles Guiteau.

  Meh, my problem with USAJobs is I don't have enough nubs.

I don't understand how you can be a leftist and a pacifist.

Shhh.. Zombie Lenin needs his useful idiots.

"Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me'."


― George Orwell

Leftist Pacifists are against American Israeli and Western Warmaking, they are not against third world warmaking, especially when they can blame that too on the west. It is all about moral purity. Being against everything bad just means you ca maintain the moral high ground. When you are against something you are objectively for what that something seeks to prevent or punish unless you are for an alternative which is feasible.

Did you watch any of the specials on the Criterion DVD?

I didn't have the Criterion DVD; is it worth hunting down?

Yes.  There's a bit by a UofC professor who was a friend of one of my Russian instructors.  It's an extremely complex, weird movie, and I don't think you are giving it the credit it deserves.

Interesting.  How did they beat the embargo?  Some cultural exception?

Just saw Barbarian Invasion.  French-Canadian dude dies of cancer.  Good prep for my trip.

Loved The Barbarian Invasions.  Even if Remy was a filthy liberal arts professor.

[lustindarkness]

Yi, if you are a filthy there may or not be a decent copy out there. And if I was a filthy it would have taken only 23 mins to download just now.

Remy was a history prof iirc.  He certainly didn't teach engineering.

Oh. Nvm was hungover. I thought you meant politically.
