Yeah, that’s what I had in mind with the ‘another victim’

I’m curious what do you think the ‘Uyghur thing’ is.

The chihuahua states seem to have a knack for it.

Lithuania fucked around in 2021 by de facto establishing a Taiwan ambassy and to this day still isn’t done finding out.

How Lithuania came to regret its antagonism of China

“The government plans to begin sending killer drones after you!”

[…the rest of the article…]

“I urgently need you to call your government representative and tell them you think that’s bad; also vote”

Well, they did start with “it’s the republicans doing it” so that’s exacly the ending I expected.

The point is those “non-lethal” methods only work because they are backed by “lethal” ones.

Makes even more sense once you realize that the inquisition and witch hunts were deeply intertwined with the forceful establishment of capitalism

Be warned. For your mental health, don’t check the comments [on twitter]

A general rule I follow (and then regret immediately whenever I break it)

I honestly don’t expect to find examples of all three in this comment section. The libs are not OK.

Even ignoring anything else they say, “show trial” accusation is one of the favorite anti-communist dogwhistles by the compatible left.

You can get [email protected] to upvote a lot of anti-imperialist sentiment, but they usually draw the line at the Nazi American Treaty Organization.

Curious.

Lebanon is Poland. They also have a comprador government who is hellbent on being in good graces with the country trying to conquer them (Israel/Germany) and refusing any help from the country desperately trying to stop that unhinged country (Iran/Soviet Union) because they have a scary ideology and are not civilized(westernized) enough and actually they are the real threat.

Obviously those are fake communist numbers, can’t trust them!

And besides, people in those countries can’t suicide because the evil regime would gulag their whole family for two generations!

And actually, higher suicide rate in capitalist countries just shows they have more personal freedom/are more democratic!

Most of the Zionists would leave of their own volition the moment the apartheid system is abolished and any semblance of equality established. That’s what happened in South Africa.

Looks like reptilian propaganda

The “re” in reinventing caries a lot more meaning than the WSJ probably desired.

Ancient Greek city-states were only democracies for the slave-owning class, just like 18th-19th century USA.

And worker coops like Huawei definitely have hierarchies (at least after a certain size), the difference is the hierarchies are less arbitrary and more consensual, not that they don’t exist.

Owning Karensky like a boss.

Certainly was not on my bingo card.

Gotta least wait till friday for markets to close
