In the original the other arm was behind the cubicle and I guess this was easier than drawing a whole new arm.

the trick is to spell bourgeois and then add an "ie" to the end.

Funnily enough, the 3 he listed (Red Star, MUG, and Commie Caucus) are the 3 I'd most recommend people check out. Unless you have a strong preference for one of them I'd just join whichever is most active in your area.

I like what they were trying to do but it gets annoying really fast when you fight more than one enemy at a time. And one could say that the point is that you are are an ordinary commoner and can't fight more than one person at a time without great difficulty but if that's the case then why is the relatively easy solution most of the time to kite them so the AI forces itself to line up and let you take them on one at a time.

Yeah like to me it seems believable that maybe the cia or someone else had something to do with that particular attack, but like if you are going to go through the effort of jacking a plane, why not just ram the plane into it, why go through the extra effort of sending a missile, and then what, paying off witnesses & airtraffic controllers, landing the plane at a blacksite and shooting everyone?

What I recall is that in the south, Russia has 3 big lines of defense. After that, there's very little all the way to the coast. If that's true, and if Ukraine has broken through the first line, then that could be taken to mean they are 1/3rd of the way to making massive gains in the south. For a while their "summer counteroffensive" had been kind of a joke because it wasn't even confronting that first line, but if what some western media is saying is true, then that might no longer be the case.

Of course, without knowing casualties on either side, it's tough to know what "breaking through the first line" even really entails. Like if this was the culmination of months of costly fighting with little gain, then it would not mean the same thing as it would if like idk Russia was taking massive losses trying to hold the line or something.

If herodotus says this ancient battle had a million soldiers then I believe him

I saw the kyiv independent (lol) claim that Ukraine had a good shot of breaking through the other 2 by the end of the year, citing US intelligence. Not saying I trust them but that seems like a bold thing to claim if they aren't even sure themselves Ukraine broke through the first line

Wait so has Ukraine at long last broken through that first defensive line? Seeing more claims of it

Fwiw I only refer them as neokauts because I see a lot of them identify as such on twitter. But yeah I looked up their onboarding school and they make their members read more lenin than they do kautsky. That might be too revisionist for some people here's taste but I think them, red star, and even b&r making up a left-majority steering committee is a good thing.

More likely than before, but like long term; definitely not within the next 2 years. I think this convention was a swing in the direction of people who want a clean/hard break but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon.
