capitalist spain and italy, by trying to hijack the efforts of the flotilla, are still doing more than china has ever done (which is nothing btw)

Creating infrastructure throughout the Global South, selling weapons and other important goods to the resistance, bypassing US “sanctions” against Iran, etc. is “nothing”? It’s entirely fair to criticize China for still trading with Israel but this is nonsense

yes – these people were just opportunists calling themselves socialists (or “social-democrats”) because it was popular among the workers

I can’t comment on the quality, but you can find translations of his prison notebooks on Anna’s Archive

The Hexbear user in question mentioned the Monterey Bay Aquarium, referring to it as an animal sanctuary. Eiren described it as “an incarceration and psychological torture facility for wild animals”, without further explanation. She also subsequently claimed that “all aquariums and zoos are torture facilities”, with no indication that this specific organization was particularly bad (which it may be, but that’s irrelevant to the ban). Rather than explaining why it is problematic, Eiren immediately insulted the Hexbear user, and this is the only reason for her ban. I would appreciate if you’d stop putting words in my mouth.

We were talking about an animal sanctuary, not a factory farm. Please don’t jump into a conversation with ridiculous comparisons when you don’t even know the topic of discussion.

You were given a 1-day temp ban in that specific community (now for the whole instance) for acting in bad faith and abruptly insulting another user (instance rule 3). Please use this time to calm down.

Agreed, and this is applicable to geopolitical issues in general. Russia has a reactionary government but its role in the proxy war is anti-imperialist in practice, Iran has a reactionary government but is essential for the Palestinian liberation movement, etc.

it’s definitely escalating

I wonder sometimes if Western info-warfare strategy is shifting to “flooding the zone”

It’s been part of the strategy for a long time, and not just for China. Bourgeois media inundates people with baseless or highly distorted claims (often very time-consuming to disprove, and affects collective consciousness over time), and both social media sites and search engines promote this content while censoring reliable sources

coup attempt, it will fail

one of the fascist countries involved in WW2 did have nukes, and it used them too

and contemporary Germany is proudly continuing its legacy

I’ve hardly noticed the game elements on Temu; the misleading items are annoying but it’s nothing you won’t see on Amazon, and you can usually get a refund

happy 207th birthday to obscure Marxist theoretician Karl Marx
