Flat Wrong

About twice a day, I think about the Ian Welsh (et al.) pre-war contention that resistance in Ukraine was impossible because it is flat. And I have a good hearty laugh.

It’s such a great source of amusement. Why would you listen to anything that doof or those like like him claim after that, I have not a clue.

But at least it was entertainingly dipshitty.

Double Dumb

Did the Particle Go Through the Two Slits, or Did the Wave Function?

These Hacker News discussions are always amusing. Every single commenter (and I do mean every single one, no exceptions) has no goddamn idea what they are talking about. It’s all hilariously wrong. The source article is also half crap, but that’s to be expected. That goofus is attempting again to sneak superdeterminism in.

Anyway, don’t read anything like those HN comments to learn anything. Read them to be amused, like you were listening to someone describe American football using the rules of cricket or something. Otherwise, they’ll just make you dumber.

Disputin’

According to utter idiot clowns like Ian Welsh, the Russo-Ukrainian war is completely the fault of the US. Russia and Ukraine had nothing to do with it and it all could’ve been avoided if Ukraine had just bowed down to Putin when he demanded it. Merely give him what he wanted and all would’ve been peachy. No country has agency besides the US, of course. And no individual people either.

Right.

It never seems to click with doofuses like Welsh that their belief that the US is incompetent, ineffective and omnipotent all at the same time does not make any goddamn sense. It’s similar to the common Dem refrain that Obama was simultaneously Jesus Christ, Norman Schwarzkopf, Einstein and a tiny helpless little baby with absolutely no power all at once. Ian Welsh (and many like him) both loathe the United States and wish they could be Americans. That explains a lot of the cognitive dissonance.

The rest is explained by garden variety stupidity.
