    Kursk 2.0 update

    The 8/26/24 map is the FIRST map since 8/6 that the salient has shrunk on southfront – a pro Russian site

    The northern leg of the upside down L encircling the Russians in Kremyanoe – on the extreme north side of the Kursk salient – is no more, according to the map.

    The bulge in the northwest of the Kursk salient trying to be the other side of the pincer movement around Kremyanoe has been beaten back as well.

    There seem to be some efforts to take larger towns on the perimeter of the salient, but they do not show as successful as of yet.

    Kursk 2.0 attack does appear to be running out of gas, based on this latest map.

    – Western media admits Ukraine has dangerously overextended itself through its Kursk incursion;

    – Western media claims Russia is unable to use glide bombs in Kursk because of poor “air-control systems,” however, glide bombs are used primarily to break heavy fortifications which the Western media admits Ukraine is not building in Kursk;

    – Despite claims that Russia’s response was “disjointed,” Ukraine’s Kursk operation has become a liability, costing it irreversibly lost territory along the actual line of contact;

    – The more territory Ukraine attempts to hold in Kursk, the more troops and equipment it must divert from the actual line of contact;

    – Western media reports admit that Russian progress in the Donbass has accelerated since the Kursk incursion began;

    – Ukraine is not building the type of fortifications required to hold onto Kursk in the long-term with Western officials/analysts admitting that once Russia brings in sufficient reinforcements, uprooting Ukraine is inevitable;

    – US military assistance to Ukraine continues to shrink, with the most recent package featuring the same items (without quantities noted) as previous packages, suggesting the US is drawing from its insufficient monthly production;

    Project De-population is Right on Track

    There will be no collective recovery from this generation not starting families.

    Their kind will all be gone by 2100 like a lost language in a forgotten land

    I remember tagging desks in detention, sometimes even using an exacto knife from shop class to give it “depth”

    Yeh, remarkable resemblance to a graffiti school desk….

    Marxism is a way of examining and critiquing the socio-economic conditions and class status. It promotes a transition to a more egalitarian arrangement based primarily on the following observations and principles:

    Marxism acknowledges that there exists a historical tendency to divide people into social classes that are characterized by inequality and injustice. This results in a constant state of class struggle.
    •• impossible! you can see the glory that capitalism has given us on every street corner of los angeles, san francisco, seattle, portland, chicago, gary, flint… a rising tide and such.

    Marxism acknowledges that unfettered capitalism creates a system in which the majority of labor is performed by a class of people who do not reap the most benefits from their labor.
    •• impossible! in our current model, a ceo (certified marxist, it seems) only makes 17,353,498 times the salary of schlub. THAT’S FAIR!

    This labor is done to benefit an elite class instead of benefiting the needs of all.
    •• no way! that amazon driven gets a 0.0000000000023% profit share cheque every other christmas!

    The elite use many tools, such as organized religion and the promotions of racial, ethnic, and gender prejudices to help maintain their power.
    •• that kinda sounds like the democrat party to me.

    It is the responsibility of the labor class itself to emancipate themselves from this exploitive system. Relying on the elite class to level the playing field means perpetual exploitation.
    •• pitchforks and such.

    It is likely that a violent revolution is the only way for the working class to secure their rights and privileges.
    •• what?! vote harder, vote earlier, vote aggressivelyer!

    An egalitarian society requires the elimination of private property.
    •• blackrock and vanguard gonna beat ’em to it.

    This is an international struggle that transcends political borders. In fact, a true Marxist revolution would lead to the end of nations themselves and result in a global community.
    •• that’d be nice. but human way too dumb for that. we gotta wait at least 500 more years.

    Once this has occurred, resources and labor will be divided based upon needs and abilities without regard to previous social stations.

    “Cat’s Cradle” by Vonnegut. Boko-Maru is the practice of placing the soles of one’s feet against the soles of the feet of another. One who does this is a Bokononist.
