    Farewell to the Bazinga Brigades - 10th March 2022 to 14th March 2022

    Still can’t believe that I half jokingly predicted half arsed opposite international brigades and then it actually happened. Also can’t believe how invincible these people thought they were. C’mon, you’re not an FPS protagonist, what were you expecting?

      what were you expecting

      They were expecting it to be like the War on Terror, unfortunately for them their enemy had modern Russian weapons not leftover 1980s stuff.

      All I can think of is Orwell in POUM talking about how all his fellow Brigade members had come with no training (since everyone with training died in WW1) and he spent most of his time drinking, watching no one really make any attempts to attack, and showing people which way a gun was supposed to go until some Fascist shot him in the neck because he never bothered ducking at the parapet.

      Meanwhile the Anarchists are giving a pretty good account of themselves.
