Exactly what I came to the comments to find out. Thank you random stranger

The potential value to the Americans of Japanese-provided data, encompassing human research subjects, delivery system theories, and successful field trials, was immense. However, historian Sheldon H. Harris concluded that the Japanese data failed to meet American standards, suggesting instead that the findings from the unit were of minor importance at best. Harris characterized the research results from the Japanese camp as disappointing, concurring with the assessment of Murray Sanders, who characterized the experiments as “crude” and “ineffective.”

To back up your point that the research gained by unit 731 was useless.

I’ve been building up my collection by browsing my local Bullmoose (idk how widespread that store is) and other places that sell CDs. I’ve got a disk reader a friend gave me to rip them.

Oh do you have any recommendations on how to do that? I’ve just been using Syncthing which works fine, but I’m curious if you have better ways of doing it
- Comment on Spotify Premium "Ad Free" plan 1 month ago:
I am so glad I swapped to downloading my music rather than streaming. Fuck Spotify and every other streaming service. Owning my music is more important to me than any level of “convenience” those services pretend to offer

We have what we have through protest and direct action. The 8 hour day and other worker’s rights were won by unions fighting back. Votes don’t matter till the people you voted for are afraid. Cut out the middleman and we don’t have to keep fighting for our rights.

Yeah they are reactionary christians. A radical christian would be like the Catholic Workers and Dorothy Day, or the Fasci Siciliani, or Leo Tolstoy

The closest thing an anarchist would ever advocate for in regards to an internal peacekeeping force would be some sort of community defense to defend against violent threats to community. But there would be ways to prevent it from becoming centralized and abusive. One way is by training everyone in the community in community defense and rotating the role. Their are other ways as well. But besides the point

The issue was never the average person. Corporations have always been the issue. Even if everyone on the planet tried to live as green as possible, the corporations would still cause too much damage for us to undo. The only way the average person could have made an impact was by attacking the corporations and their means of polluting the planet. That meant sabotaging their facilities. But the climate change movement was too focused on peaceful protest, and there has been evidence that points the blame for this on the corporations once again. For everyone, the issue wasn’t that they weren’t willing to live green enough (which is true that most people just didn’t bother, but it isn’t what caused the issue of climate change in the first place and wouldn’t have been the answer either), it was that they weren’t willing to risk their life and privileges to dismantle the system that caused it. The threat of climate change was not imminent or tangible enough for people to take real action.

I am a huge Warhammer 40k fan and I once met someone who was also a 40k fan. Dude said he played Imperium cause he was (and he said this with zero irony) a “human supremacist.” Genuinely though the Imperium were good guys. I feel like it’s needless to say, but I stopped talking to him.

The Aeldar (along with the predecessor to the orks, the krorks) were created by the Old Ones to fight the necrontyr/necrons during the War in Heaven.
Also whether or not characters or legions deviate from the Imperium’s ideology is unimportant as they are still supporters of a theocratic, xenophobic, authoritarian, ultra-militaristic, and ultimately fascist regime. This sort of argument that the Space Marines and such aren’t fascists because they split away from the broader Imperium ideology is like when Nazis try to argue that the Wehrmacht were made up of average soldiers so not all of them were Nazis. Its irrelevant, they are still fighting to support a fascist regime which makes them a fascist. The only times Space Marines have ever actually split enough from the imperium to reliquish their loyalty to it is when they end up swapping to Chaos (which is just as bad, if not worse). My favorite faction, the Red Corsairs, being a perfect example of this.
Also the Orks are a charicature and parody of british hooligan culture.

I hate that nazis have adopted the DKoK. I love them because I really like the french inspired aspect of the design (like the trench coat) and I really love gasmasks. I got into 40k because of them and started an imperial guard army. But the amount of chuds that play them and the broader imperium grossed me out. Now I play chaos space marines (Red Corsairs (cause pirates) and Thousand Sons (cause I like magic and the drama)) and am gonna convert my imperial guard into chaos guard.

I think followers and chat are a good idea because I could follow my friends and share memes directly to them through Lemmy rather than have to download and share it externally. But besides that yeah

Copyright is stupid, but besides that I agree. We should be developing our own identity, not trying to copy reddit
- Comment on Should law enforcement workers form unions? 2 months ago:
Cops serve and protect capital, not you. There is never going to be a situation where law enforcement doesn’t become authoritarian and only protect those in power. Law enforcements has routinely shown they are class traitors and have no qualms supporting corporations in crushing unions. Cops should not exist, let alone have unions, which will only ever be used to protect themselves from facing consequences and taking accountability. All WORKERS should be unionized. Cops are not workers, they are class traitors who wouldn’t think twice about arresting you for trying to use your union to get better working conditions. 40% of cops are abusers, and they only solve 2% of crime. Studies show rehabilition and restorative justice as well as providing people with their basic needs is more effective at reducing crime and protecting people. Abolish the police, abolish prisons, ACAB
