🚨 BEAKING NEWS! 🚨

The Gerontocrats have fled the NYC mainland following its fall to socialist Zohran Mamdani. Sources say he will establish a government in-exile on Staten Island with the goal of eventually reclaiming NYC.

Mamdani has promised to purge all remaining Cuomintang on the mainland.

Neither Ukraine nor Europe's broader institutions were suffering from trust crises that weren't endogenous already. These fractures were exploited, not created, by Russia.

I think what Europe can and should do is reform dramatically — because in its current conditons it's incapable of responding.

There are other ways to get involved, asides the shipping of weaponry. Closing the back channels to Russian sanctions is one.

ravi 🎆 @ravinenox.bsky.social · 26d

There is no "free world" to speak of, nor free states, in the world system. There's capitalism — and dictatorships and liberal democracies that have found compatibility through it.

Russia is not going to destroy Europe. It can't — and it would also destroy itself in the process.

Ukraine's allies could choose to end this any time, but they don't because this war is, in the end, weakening Russia. The longer the war goes the more spent and tired the Russian army becomes, which helps NATO strategic interests.

TL;DR Ukraine is being kept on life support for Western convenience.

By "winning" I mean that their maximalist strategic goal was to take over, and their compromised goal was to destroy Ukraine so it couldn't function as a NATO launchpad while securing a land bridge to Crimea.

Both options are still on the table for them. Ukraine on the other hand is being guttered.

Russia is advancing, albeit very slowly, to enormous casualties. The war has become a positional conflict of attrition with Ukraine hoping its Western equipment and defenses can outlast Russia's manpower, and Russia hoping the opposite.

Russia is winning though not by much.

As a nerd, the metric system.

As a political person, human rights, yeah. I think few ideas ended up being as powerful that.

Even conservatives, who care about traditions over rights, are forced to use the language of rights to argue whatever they want, as anti-rights as it may conceptually be.

Chasing possible dates to accurately reference a lecture video series and the *one* accesible text might just be in this Satanic ass vibe of a text.

At this point of my political growth I see anyone without a mostly if not overwhelmingly positive read of the French Revolution as cringe.

I'm not a historian by craft so my interest in history can only exist in relation to what's practical and applicable to my life.

As much as the Ancient world provides me context and philosophy, my problems, my life and my politics are modern.

ravi 🎆 @ravinenox.bsky.social · 29d

For a history "creator" or "personality" or whatever you might say, I don't think about Rome that much.

Even now as I am writing a video with a heavy Roman section, and I published an article going off a Roman myth, I am ecstatic to just get past it and talk about modernity lol.

I posted my first article already, which is a criticism of the online community #NAFO and just generally people who revel in the thought of war. I hope you like it 🙂

Going forward these essays will function like the rest of my videos do: One week early for Comet Patreons.

I opened a Substack for the essays I won't turn into videos, either because I'm not invested in the subject anymore or because I don't want to put too much effort into expressing something I'm reacting to.
