That must have been something to see in person.

The greatest thing in the history of the internet.

is this for real?

lol wrong order nerd

What is interesting is that, for being supposedly superior forms of thought, the initial two can be easily shoe-horned into a format as intellectually bankrupt as a rage-face comic while Marxism must be hyperbolically simplified and misrepresented. You know what they say: if the cancerous internet shoe fits…

it’s almost as if, if written properly, it would be too convincing.

I like that austrian economics are so pseudo-scientific and non-empirical even the rage comic guy has to say his conclusions are theoretical at best.

Hammer and Sickle on the flag [edit]

A vintage flag of USSR made in 1988, accordant with the scheme.

Some Russian sources has an accurate drawing of the hammer and sickle on the flag:

I always find myself bothered when the Chinese and Soviet hammer & sickles get mixed up, but that’s a very obvious one.

The fact that he took a stance contrary to my own proves he’s been brainwashed, and is not an independent thinker.

Brilliant logic there.

(Also, note how he presents this as Hawking being convinced to do something (by who or what, he doesn’t say) rather than Hawking himself choosing not to go.)

I’m so glad secotm has picked up on the steaming pile of shit that is Dry Bones.

Woman Kills a Would-Be Rapist and is Presented with his Belongings, manuscript illumination, 12th c., Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional, MS Graecus Vitr. 26-2, fol. 208r.

According to the text of the Madrid manuscript of the “Synopsis historion,” a Byzantine chronicle written by John Skylitzes, “There were some Varangians dispersed in the Thrakesion theme for the winter. One of them coming across a woman of the region in the wilderness put the quality of her virtue to the test. When persuasion failed he resorted to violence, but she seized his Persian-type sword, struck him in the heart and promptly killed him. When the deed became known in the surrounding area, the Varangians held an assembly and crowned the woman, presenting her with all the possessions of her violator, whom they threw aside, unburied, according to the law concerning assassins.” In the image depicting these occurrences, the woman uses a spear to kill her attacker, and the other Varangian men approach her with armfuls of clothing.
