[Easy: Success] — Any poster who willingly chooses to have a Picrew avatar has already demonstrated that they aren’t worth listening to.The Vaush Particles have reached such a critical mass that everything is exploding and I’m being teleported around the universe like the beginning of Half Life.
Hearing the words “V*ush Particles” makes me want to wear a hazmat suit and install a decontamination shower
My brain saw ‘decolonization shower’
this is why v**sh avoids showering
I can smell them
We need a Half-Life mod where Freeman and his crowbar are replaced by a clown with a funny hammer.
Finally my modding skills come in handy (started with the original quake for fps and stopped with half life) again!
I remember when Team Fortress was just an ambitious Quake 1 mod.
That was the best TF experience honestly. People weren’t too skilled in it and you had that joy of stuff that wasn’t done before. It basically was Overwatch or how those things are called with players having avatars which got different skills.
Smug internet people will call it nostalgia, but fuck that, it was a good time and I call a good time a good time.

This is literally the timeline where the US backed “christian democrats”. Those motherfuckers are far right too
and christian democrats are evil!
social democrats are controlled opposition liberals but they aren’t ideologically against basic human rights for minorities
"But what if the CIA funded the Maoists this time?
They did in Italy
They did in Portugal
The OSS helped Ho Chi Minh fight the French. But that’s only because they wanted to get rid of the competition for the future.
Ho Chi Minh is a far more complex from the western standpoint than any other communist. He essentially used the threat of making Vietnam communist to get western support and then did it anyways lol. He was far better at openly playing the west than any other leader I’ve seen, gotta love it.
I don’t get why Ho Chi Minh isn’t a more revered figure among Western leftists. Successfully fought against Vichy and fascist Japanese forces in WWII, played the OSS, kicked out French colonizers, defeated the puppet post-colonial government and the US empire, and Vietnam would go on to be a largely successful socialist economy, independent, didn’t break during the collapses of the late 80’s/90’s, and the claims of “communist authoritarianism” against it are about the most piss weak of all nominally socialist states. All-around Chad.
Ho Chi Minh is one of the GOATs and seriously overlooked as far as leftists go. He really should be one of the most uncontroversial picks for being a fucking legend. Ultra famous people like Mao and Stalin made some pretty notable fuck ups, it’s fine we’re all human. But goddamn Ho Chi Minh was on this shit like he was looking in a crystal ball, even telling China to fuck off multiple times and was right to do so.
So what you're saying is...
Ho’s ChadI think it might be because Vietnam is allied with the US for now while the other highly praised AES are sworn enemies

It wasn’t Ho himself who saw the final defeat of the US empire on his land, but it wouldn’t have happened as quickly without him.
“…when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit”
Product of the US school system.
I’m going to fucking scream
There are allegations that the CIA funded Castro in the lead up to the revolution, although obviously the CIA is silent on this.
Castro didn’t reveal himself to be communist until late into the revolution. There was a US citizen who defected to Cuba to fight for liberation thinking Castro was just some vague progressive. After he came out as ML, the American defected back to the US and joined the CIA to sabotage the revolution lol
Furthest left wing American leftist
If I remember correctly, Fidel wasn’t actually a communist at the start of the revolution but eventually become one at a later point influenced in part by his brother and Che. So he wasn’t really hiding anything, he just evolved.
That was probably just a case of
Imagine thinking they ever did anything remotely close to that.
NED and other “civil society organizations”:
The CIA did fund the Finnish succdems, but that was when the USSR was still around, so now you’re SOL.
Tbf I don’t find this prospect unthinkable since some far-right parties in europe aren’t quite as aligned with american strategy as others.
For example Le Pen (who is almost certainly winning in 2028), the german AfD and Orban have dissented, in different measures, to the establishment’s position on ukraine and china. If a far-right party were to reach power in one of the big EU countries and they were expected to shift europe away from the US I don’t see why the americans WOULDN’T interfere.
Americans will interfere to put whoever is friendly to their interests. I mean, they helped china during the Sino Soviet split because they both didn’t like the USSR. But more often than not, it’s easier to replace right wing assholes with a different right wing asshole who’ll listen to you than it is to choose a communist and wonder if he’s nominal or serious.
I think it’s the other way around. Michael Hudson said back in the 1970s the people from the State Department already told him that they knew the challenge to US establishment in the future would come from the European left, not the right, so they spent decades infiltrating every soc dem and leftist party and promoted US-leaning politicians groomed under their wing.
They were never worried about the far right, nor should they be, because the European far right will never pose a real challenge to the US or capital. If you really want proof, look at Meloni’s Italy.
If you really want proof, look at Meloni’s Italy.
Ok but my point is you don’t look at JUST meloni to judge the willingness of the whole european far right to follow the US, Meloni and her party are fiercely atlanticist in a way that the 3 examples I mentioned aren’t, a hint at their difference is if they are in the ID or the ECR group in the euro parliament, ID parties “tend” to be “softer” on, say, russia and china but not always, and if one of these parties actually were willing to, for example, pull the plug on ukraine support if it came to power I don’t see why america wouldn’t act to keep that party from power. They didn’t need to do that with meloni because she’s always been a vocal supporter of american strategy.
I’m just saying this to complicate things a bit, I don’t think it’s certain at all that these EU-US skeptical far right parties would actually follow through on it, it’s sort of like asking whether trump would actually stop backing ukraine, can’t say for certain
Does he know emoji
Do they mean dudes like Pol Pot?
