As the title says, does anybody remember that clip from that game theory video where there's a tiktok edit of an actor? My brain is itching to find it for some reason, thanks for any help.

Hi! I'm trying to translate this Thuriya article, primarily for research into pre-WW2 and WW2 relations between Burma and the Axis powers in regards to the Galon Fascists. I know this is a much larger translation but even snippets would be helpful!

Specifically aiming for the last/2nd page!

Hi I’ve been on a lot of distros now and have even been thinking about trying out the BSDs even if my alpine setup works just fine. But I guess I’m just curious firstly if there’s any linux distros with the same specific ethics of NetBSD of maintaining code readability, portability that is small enough the kernel is easy to compile etc. I know maybe you’d say I should go for gentoo but it’s too heavily focused on compiling everything, Arch does the bare minimum of what is considered setting up a system from scratch, Void I’ve had really inconsistent experiences and I don’t want to use LFS since that’s way too much and cant do NixOS either cuz it literally does everything for me to the point it’s starting to bore me. You might also say just use NetBSD then, I would but I hate the licensing. Closest one is maybe Exherbo linux. I probably sound spoiled sorry.

Okay I'm the OP of the previous post on the new Burman Fascist Group:

https://www.reddit.com/r/myanmar/comments/1v40zcz/new_burman_fascist_group/

I think I realized why this is happening, I'm Burman myself so I think I know why they're so attractive to Burmans. So see how back in the NUG era a lot of westernization was happening, individualism spread and started breaking down traditional Burman societal values, telling them to be more western/white? Essentially producing a generation of emasculated Burman men, so when Fascists started showing up and saying "You're our equals, you're superior to them in spirit, you have a great martial tradition with a superior history, you're Aryans, we're a brotherhood of like-minded men" OF COURSE THEY'D JUMP AT IT. The current diasphora offers the same, just pure emasculation more "you're not enough" not "western enough". And since they have no other alternative, they turn to Fascism instead.

They're already using this to prop up a counter-revolution, I found just one there's probably tens of them that exist. A PDF soldier from the Chin soldier said the same group is "beating them too badly". THIS IS REAL. THIS IS HAPPENING.

What you need to understand is, Fascism is beautiful. But that's the problem, it's beautiful why wouldn't you take it? You've had nothing for your entire life, you have people telling you're less than them or that you're not good enough that what you are never has been enough. That you need to speak English better or soften your accent. Seeing your own sisters bleach their skin or use skincare to whiten their skin, that'd make anybody crack. But the Fascists are weaponizing this for young Burman men.

Please take this seriously, if not this could create a monster that once unleashed cannot be chained back. This will create an event on the level of the purification of the Dhamma under Theravda Buddhism, the constant ethnic domination and burmanization of non-Burman ethnic groups in Burma during the era of Burman dynasties, the Galon Fascists who decreed of racial supremacy and got Nazi and Imperial Japan approval, the Long March that killed millions of Indians, the anti-Indian riots caused by the Galon Fascists, the ethnic cleansing of British-aligned groups by the Burma Independnece Army in the Burma Campaign and of course the Ronhingya genocide. This time it could include ALL non-burmans in a mass event, since the more you undermine and downplay Burmans, it ONLY leads to more anger and rage at the non-Burmans, it makes them more brutal and gives them even more of an excuse to dehumanize non-burmans as "soulesss" or "western suck-ups" or "selfish assimilationists" then it get gets racial, they're "inferior", "we're superior that's why they don't understand us", "we're better than them that's why they need us to impose on them", it'll get more and more extreme this is how Fascist regimes ALWAYS start.

We need an alternative, not just Western individualism or Western liberalism or some Western import something Burmese. Something that can fill that void and give purpose not just material gain.

Hi, I know the title is quite a doozy so I'll add some context:

I'm currently living in the UK and well, I don't know if this is what Burma should have. I'm not ungrateful but, everything here is, very stale. It's like they treat everybody here as exchangeable parts. They extract the value out of you only to throw you away once they're done like a candy wrapper. Everything here is so, trasient and nothing ever stays the same. There's no rhyme or reason, there's no great thing or plan to devote yourself to, there's only the individual. In all honesty, when I look at the UK and the US, they start to seem less like countries and more like corporations that pay the government to justify their existence.

Is anybody else living in the UK feeling like this? Do we really want Burma to become like this?

Like I'm not ungrateful I hate the military too but there has to be something better than this?

Like I'm pretty sure this is how the Tatmadaw works, they just use dollars and money instead instead of guns. People here are sometimes forced to go to universities to compete in job markets which sounds a lot like how to have better upward mobility in Burma a lot of people often joined the military. Or how you're often forced to assimiliate and replace your own cultural traditions with British ones to fit in, like it's almost intensified here I don't know how to describe it.

I hope this doesn't make me seem like some sort of sell-out or someone over-privileged I've been feeling like this for a while now honestly. I even felt it quite a lot in Burma during the brief period of NLD rule growing up. I've tried talking to my parents over and over but nothing ever really changes. I even try coping by watching ponies which I know sounds pathetic but I don't really want anybody else to have to cope that way. Just know this isn't like a strictly political discussion, I'm not attacking anybody, sorry if I offend anybody, maybe I'm just confused?

This is relatively obscure but Nietzsche was one the philosophers that inspired the Dobama Asionyone movements in the 1930s.

The video I've linked is a short dialogue between Plato and Nietzsche, and should serve as a short intro to both philosophies.

A documentary on the onset of the Cold War in Burma, it contains various aspects of the political alignments occurring in Burma to maintain neutrality; alongside narration by former prime minister of Burma and philosopher U Nu on the various aspects of Burmese life and Burma's policies in maintaining neutrality.

Hello! I'm just trying to find uniforms for the Galon Fascists for a wiki article I'm writing, I know this is probably a huge ask of the subreddit but I was wondering if it'd be possible for people here to drudge up some old family photos if you suspect your family may have a connection to the Galon Fascists? Maybe a relative that joined during the 1930s or possibly even an old black uniform of a passed-away relative you never really knew what it was.

Managed to get a new specific detail:

Their uniforms consisted of "black shirts and jack boots", essentially much like the uniforms of Fascist Italy or the British Union of Fascists.

It'd be use help if I could maybe some search terms of sorts for Facebook or anything like that too.

Hello there! I got this HP Compaq Elite 8200 SFF off ebay that has the Hewlett-Packard 1495 as the motherboard but I'm on the search for a compatible wifi card, although I haven't been able to find any good listings since the PC build itself is from the 2010s so it's probably buried somewhere. Was wondering if anybody could possibly point me towards some? Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question, I'm pretty new to pc building.

Hi there! Been scanning this list for Aramaic support: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Fonts

But haven't been able to find it, be helpful if someone could just give me the name of a package that supports this. Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question.

Thanks for any help!

EDIT:

Sorry meant Aramaic not "Aramic"

Okay nevermind got it working it was just labelled "font-noto-syriac" instead of aramaic.

Hello, I've been looking into typsetting systems so I could start making some more professional pdfs of some old scanned archives I found. I've tried using both LaTeX and groff in order to achieve this but I came into some hurdles in regards to this.

I know LaTeX is quite stable but I do have concerns over it's structural tenets if you will, the books I'm archiving are barely looked over and it's entirely possible I may be the only one doing so. But due to LaTeX's nature of over-centralizing everything into a massive TeX compiler it makes it almost impossible to ensure that if the .tex files disappear somehow it'd simply go out of print again. Then for groff I ran into the specific hurdles of terrible Unicode support since I'm trying to use Pāḷi in the Roman script specifically. It's great in the sense it chops programs up into smaller components following the UNIX philosophy, thus preventing the issue of central failure a compiler like LaTeX might have, but the terrible Unicode support completely prevents me from using it properly.

So my question is, would there possibly be a typsetting system that has the central tenets of the UNIX philosophy, as per having small, programmable components working together, then in combination strong Unicode support for more obscure characters like that of Burmese and Pāḷi in the Roman script specifically?

Would appreciate any help in regards to this, and thank you for reading.
