Yep. W40k may or may not say something about someone’s politics, but the whole combination in the pic is just too much (greentext, “@ImperiumFirst”, it’s da joos). To dispel any doubt, check his feed: https://xcancel.com/imperiumfirst

On a site whose algorithm likely pushes fascist content it’s nothing surprising that two people would come across a popular fascist post.

and I’ve never seen it

I’m not saying you’ve seen the thread on /pol/ (I found it by searching for the dogwhistle “every single time”), but it’s, uh, strange that your post could be replaced with the one from /pol/ and vice versa and they would function the same on both a fascist and on a Marxist-Leninist(?) forum.

I think that the user ImperiumFirst whose banner is this:

and who describes himself as “Political Extremist | America First | Christ is King ✝️”, and whose pinned tweet is praising Kanye West for using a swastika, and whose feed is currently filled with Nick Fuentes videos…

…is in fact a fascist and probably a /pol/ user.

Do you follow that guy? Or did the site correctly assume you’d like his tweet?

And yes, the wording, that you’re acting is completely neutral, is indeed regularly used by fascists “just noticing” Jewish undermining of the White race, even by the very same profile here:

For a supposed Marxist, you’re oddly oblivious to fascist iconography and memes, and uncritical of the content served to you by a fascist-owned website.

Yeah, just w40k and nothing else. 🙄

For a start, read the username of the guy whose tweet OP posted.

A screenshot of Twitter, a site owned by a fascist and populated by fascists, of a tweet by a user called, ahem, “ImperiumFirst”, posting in greentext format (which admittedly doesn’t have to mean much by itself), with OP’s own title being “Every time”… Why does this post feel like it’s copy-pasted from /pol/? 🤔

That whole website is incredible.

his publisher told him the descriptions of same-sex behavior in a book on animal sexual behavior were against the law

So it wasn’t legally or expressedly banned by the govt. But in authoritarian fear-based and legally unpredictable states it’s not unusual for people to individually take rules even further than technically necessary, to affirm their adherence to the system and to be safe from even the smallest suspicion or most ridiculous accusation.

Might be worth noting that the publisher (Eksmo-AST) is one of the biggest book publishers in Russia.

I’m not saying you should read them; and I already provided the reasons for reading them above. You can find those reasons compelling or not.

I never mentioned the reviewer being paid. There’s many interesting blogs and Goodreads profiles that are worth following too. My impression is, you’re drawing an overly sharp boundary between your style of reading and something you imagine is “professional” reading of those who care about reviews.

Analysis and discussion of literary works is only for those “inside” the literary world? But surely everyone who reads is inside the literary world.

It is reasonable to read a book and be interested in other people’s different thoughts on it, that hardly requires some sort of specialist knowledge.

That’s why I put the quotation marks ;)

Pterosauria is a branch of archosauria, together with dinos and crocodiles. Idk about those in the sea.

Two pterosauri (“fyling dinosaurs”), plesiosaurus, dimetrodon, and I don’t know the name of that other swimming dino, maybe mosasaurus.

Sorry but no. As profoundly unfair and undemocratic the US system is, it’s still more democratic than Russia where any serious opposition is literally murdered in broad daylight.

“The votes are for show” – do you mean to say that Trump’s victory in 2016, Biden’s in 2020 and Trump’s again in 2024 were prearranged by the central “powers that be”?

This is an important point in general. The old story of “voting with your wallet” is now more and more obviously mathematically absurd.

Reviews are supposed to be a place for analysis, evaluation and discussion, not just recommendation.

This might be a bit of a “I recognise that bulge” moment, but: that’s actually the Greek Chad nose, not Jewish Chad nose.

What culture are we going to be for the aliens who discover our remains ten thousand years from now?

At least intuitively it seems to me that 8-shaped paths would be extremely unlikely and unstable. Wikipedia describes two types of orbits:

So the planet can orbit both stars elliptically, or just one of them - but the latter can be the case only when the other star is a dwarf that can’t affect the planet too much.

A Russian news site talks about Russia. If that distracts you from talking about Israel, you may have some cognitive issues.

Fighting over Simple Article Summaries is just the latest fumble by the leadership, a sizable commitment of resources that’s tossed in the dump almost as soon as its off the press.

It wasn’t off the press, it was announced and in the works but still not close to shipping. Maybe Wikimedia could’ve talked about this great innovative project with the actual Wikipedia community before investing so much money into it.

International language support is… meh (one area where AI would be a huge benefit, as LLMs really shine in this field).

What would international language support entail? Translating articles into other languages?
