Marxist and Communalist. All economic policy is an extension of moral perspectives and ‘The West’ mindset desperately needs moral recalibration.




This is quite funny: just spotted cannabis growing in the wild in China. We're in Xinjiang in the Zhaosu valley, at the bottom of the TianShan mountains. It's actually not that unsurprising to see wild cannabis here since the plant originates from the region. And cannabis is traditionally an ingredient in TCM (under the name dà má - 大麻) although today it's of course banned, for the most part: interestingly the seeds - called huǒ má rén in TCM - are still allowed AFAIK (see the details of the ingredient here: meandqi.com/knowledge-base… ) Necessary addendum: don't ever think about doing drugs in China, the regulation is extremely strict here - in part due to the extremely bad experience they had with widespread opium addiction during the century of humiliation.

happy birthday to Thomas Sowell, whose flimsy free-market propaganda has successfully bamboozled generations of credulous readers currentaffairs.org/news/2023/09/i…

The Warsaw Ghetto, 1941. The Germans systemically starved the Jews of the worst ghetto to death, allowing rations of only 184 calories a day for Jewish people. To those with the audacity and heartlessness to compare this to Palestinians, throughout the Gaza War every single Palestinian and Gaza was supplied with more than 3000 calories a day.
