I don’t know this guy but yes, this “machine” story is a bit funny, but still, it seems to assume that we empathize with him, and that we define as “awesome” the exact same things that a russian mobster (or, more generally, a fascist) would. Might-is-right and the liberating lack of empathy for others. “Fuck the…

I so wish I could find an english or english-subtitled version of Des Pallières’ “Mon vieux pays natal”, to link to here.

The ones who fought for the Confederacy were unambiguous traitors. They even called themselves “rebels”. Traitors, especially those on the losing side of an insurrection,

I heard star trek did get some following in the usa though.

The premise being that humans might cooperate in front of common danger. Covid and global warming taught us how ludicrous it is. I love “Space 1999" stuff, but we can only stretch disbelief so far.

I really love the…

Amusingly, after all this time, I still remember hut of brown now sit down and hiden goseke.
