If you’re losing one war, the very intelligent move is to start a second one. I think Sunzi said that

Death to all anglos

I would just say they were reactionary Khemer nationalists.

Oh yeah, they’ve literally had a committee who’s job it is to do that since the 1800s

I like that they managed to combine the political compass with horseshoe theory

I will never understand the brain of a royalist l, absolutely disgusting that we don’t live in a world in which anyone claiming any title of nobility isn’t instantly put to death

We should just call her vegetable english

The rules based international order everyone

Wtf is Matpat and why does everyone seem to care about this

Yeah, I like a lot if things, some things quite a lot. But I’m not really a fan of anything

Sorry but the free-market has spoken (only rational way to organize a society btw). Maybe if Britain wanted a navy, it should have prayed to the market God harder

God I love the DPRK so much. Fucked so hard by sanctions, but they can still accomplish so much. Very hopeful

I have a nice paring knife and I literally never use it. I prefer to peel vegis with a Y peeler, and do everything else with a chef’s knife. I don’t even understand what one uses a paring knife for. I think most people probably need a chef’s knife/santoku and that’s it for knives (then get a pair of kitchen scissors before trying other knives).

Also, I would recommend an actual butcher’s cleaver to anyone who wants to chop through bone or similar hard material. Chinese caidao are often called cleavers, but they’re the Chinese equivalent of a chef knife (just as good but take a different skill set, I have a hard time using mine cuz idk how to well). They look similar to cleavers, but they’re more optimized for veg (AFAIK, I’m not like an expert on Chinese knives or anything)

I really liked it. Also, it’s the only anime that I strongly prefer the English dubs to watching it subbed

Didn’t the Chuds who really spread it admit they chose to make that the enemy not because of anything actually in CRT, but because the name sounded scary and like something they could fearmonger with?

The UK has no aircraft carrier capable of launching jets

Hahahahahahahaha

German basically always uses an article, including when English wouldn’t.

Mao wasn’t a Maoist, yeah (just like Lenin wasn’t a Leninist or Marx a Marxist), but Gonzalo didn’t invent Maoism, just theorized one strain of it out of several.

And MLs who liked Mao definitely weren’t the majority of MLs in the world post Sino-Soviet split. Anti-revisionist MLs and Maoists split off as the majority of the world’s ML parties followed the CPSU into revisionism, culminating in the collapse of the Eastern bloc and most MLs abandoning Marxism entirely to become succdems. It’s only since then that the MLs left have come back around to Mao.

The CPP-NAP were never Gonzaloites and the party wasn’t part of RIM. They were Maoists long before RIM hijacked the label
