Britain’s entire economy revolves around London’s finance, outside there the nation is poorer than Mississippi IIRC. They’re part of managing the balance sheet of the imperial debt trap. They don’t do anything legit. That KDWalmsey guy was saying that Chinese firms might not even be able to profitably invest in European factories for the purposes of circumventing EV sanctions lol

We have 300-500 pounds of beans on the property I am not joking :pensivecowpoke:

Yeah fair it’s vagueposting. Added to Org reminders. I’ll cover it under influencers repackaging alt media for ppl who prefer “content” as they call it

Oh for sure, I think it’s a good explanation of the stigma & not vague culturalist assertions that dominate that usual discussion. It’s lowkey a nice example of why to use Lemmygrad. I was just kidding that nicotine users should be pro-China for this reason

And here I put all my faith in the charms of Shebaz Sharif 🥀

Was a bit miffed as they go out of their way to explain their issues with the terminology western left, gray areas such as Lukacs + Althusser, & clarify it, as others said in this thread which I read after posting. I would object to not engaging with the material further before asking, but I do exactly the same thing on here, even #OnMain.

If you find the material ultimately worthwhile, check out Helmut Harry-Loewen, Adnan Husain (East is a Podcast), and Justin Podur. Part of the same wider scholarly ring. Oh also Millenials are Killing Capitalism has been on EiaP frequently despite some differences of opinion. I think the show has taught me how to disagree with others better! I can’t listen to normal podcasts now. Too repetitive. I need scholars who got pissed off with their field’s stagnancy. It’s that good. They’re not trying to cast an overly wide net, they are interested in forming a wider progressive coalition.

It’s just important, paramount in doing it, to reorient those progressives’ objectives away from trying to attain meaningless concessions in a legal system that will never even maintain them when permitted (by design). We cannot form a coalition with people who have the wrong goals, & frame our most important areas of study as negative caricatures. These are at most people who could learn to mean well if willing to learn. Allies in waiting they are not lolol. It’s an ethical question, whether these people acknowledge they are dependent on the most advanced forced labor extraction system in history, but it’s also the deciding factor in whether they work towards liberation or faster accession to the inflated US asset market that is FUCKING DOOMED. They act like we’re just scolding them for getting terminology wrong!

I’ll make a guide but also you can read Only People Make Their Own History to get a survey of his work while I unfuck my todo list and regain sapience

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was some AI summary or translation that did that. Being trained on the English language just comes with biases at this stage, robot or otherwise. However, anti-Iran measures sounds sinister enough on its own. Not fitting with the “hate the people not the government” mask

lenin’s stroke

You should being shot with a gun if you’re worried about this particular medical incident

You didn’t understand the basics and decided to get hung up on definitions. Sorry to be brusque!

[2026-06-01] IRNA – Source of attack on Sirik Island telecommunications tower targeted: IRGC

They’re headed the way of the “Third Reich” and “Rhodesia”

I wonder how many people they’ve killed for each specific reason e.g. the arranged accidents

Samir Amin covers a lot of this in his earlier works

Get your own account and siphon cash if you must. I don’t recommend it like others said, putting yourself in a worse position could make it harder to donate in the future. I disagree with them that giving alms in the first world is somehow a translatable karmic absolution over to the same category as aiding the Palestinians lol

I feel like that just spaghettifies it even more because then you get unhyperlinked QRTs via screenshot adding to the mess. I think Misskey/Iceshrimp/etc adding quotes back was the right call! 😠

Despite this, Twitter despises China. It’s really perplexing. I mean that is verbatim cigposting you just recited. Just sprinkle in saying that people who don’t smoke are actively worse & it’d be spot on.

Pete you seem like your heart is in the right place but Mrs. benjamin is part of a network of controlled opposition, and getting slap-on-the-wrist attention from LEO is just part of the job description. Even Hasan Piker, who gets a salary from a US defense contractor (not just lunch money from hapless manchildren as he’d have you believe), and John Kiriakou, who is visibly still a CIA agent lying about his service record & core details of the 9/11 hijackers’ story, guys like that get investigated or even jailed. They never go away though.

Why don’t you try doing what she does, screaming at politicians. You’ll get tased. You’re watching a little diorama the feds put together to give the impression they follow their own rules. They do not. Ask anyone who isn’t fucking white

Shit it’s almost worth being in europe tjose are some marvelous plates you went off there

There are a lot of links to the fascist international embedded in them but few places that focus on them. It’s a good post. “Filter in” is probably not a real phrase but we ball regardless, hope that helps
