Liberal identity politics so compromised In Germany they’re doing girlboss brown lady checking white peoples’ privilege by… shushing them on why bombing and war are GOOD, actually.

@PamphletsY I think the places of Bolivia and Honduras may have been switched accidentally. Honduras is at 0.2 but near the top, bolivia is 0.6 but near the bottom.

@JussiPuska1 @AzFlin I'm in Beijing. But here's some pics of Swan Lake in Sanmenxia, Henan. Plenty of English here. Can easily see it in the metro in Beijing and street signs too.

China is the only country that gives zero fucks about tourists. You must do everything their way.
Want to call Uber? Fuck you. It doesn’t exist, use DiDi.
Want to pay with credit card? Apple Pay? Fuck you, doesn’t work. Go install Alipay
Nobody speaks any English. No signs or menus are in English. Whip out that Google Translate app. Oh wait, Google’s blocked. Go and setup your VPN 🤣
By far the hardest place to travel to, esp without native Chinese speaker. But nothing good comes easy does it!

The Trump administration is yet again demanding you accept the narrative that random Americans with no history of violence suddenly became aggressive but the militarized force occupying city streets with a long, well-documented pattern of violence is actually the innocent victim.

The problem isn’t that Trump is the “Most Unamerican President” - it’s that he’s the MOST American President. He’s the true face of empire, just without the mask.

The best and most surprising part of Carney's speech is that he didn't pretend there was a "rules-based international order" until Trump came and ended it.
He admitted the claim was always a fraud, but that the EU, UK and Canada affirmed the lie because it benefited them.
Trita Parsi@tparsi
WOW!!! Never thought we would hear this level of honesty from a Western leader, and certainly not Canada, given the direction of Canada in the past 25 years. Canada's shift towards multialignment is quite clear - and this level of honesty from Carney on Western "fiction" about the old order will be warmly welcomed in much of the Global South: "We knew that the story about the rules-based order was partially false... We knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused and the victim. This fiction was useful [because of the goods provided by American hegemony]... So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."

This was a genuinely good speech, which performs the function of permitting liberal centrists, at least a decade too late, to adopt the positions they feared and vilified.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security ... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition ... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

On a personal note
Ten and a half years ago, as I was resigning Greece’s finance ministry, I knew I would be on the receiving end of slings and arrows sent my way by an irate European and Greek establishment. The reason? I was the only finance minister who dared say an unequivocal ‘no’ to yet another toxic eurozone bailout. Anticipating the vilification that was about to be unleashed against me, I wrote the following in my resignation letter: “I shall wear their hatred on my lapel as a badge of honour”. I have been doing so ever since.
My incessant character assassination, by the mainstream Greek media, was expected – after all, to their oligarch owners, I was an unpleasant reminder of that brief moment in 2015 when they panicked, feeling they had lost their control over the demos. There was, however, something else, something far more pernicious, that I had not anticipated: the manner in which my comprehensive demonisation by the mainstream media and politicians turned me into fair game for all comers.
As the abuse and the vilification aimed at me proliferated, suddenly, surreptitiously, subliminally, the impression was given to almost everyone that it is OK to take shots at me. To lie through the nose about me, without any fear of being exposed as liars. To treat me disrespectfully in my presence, without worrying that they would look uncouth. To attack me physically in public spaces, convinced that they would get away with it as the state could be counted upon not to lift its little finger to protect me.
And the worst? This licence to abuse me, which was initially granted by the establishment, was subconsciously welcomed by people on the left, on society’s fringes even. Former comrades from our days in government, the authoritarian Greek communist party, good people belonging to the extra-parliamentary left, even people who appreciated me – they all felt, deep down, that I could be attacked, insulted, mistreated with impunity. And many did take advantage.
Ten years later, after yet another scandalous incident earlier this evening on a Greek television channel, I felt the need to put down this experience, to commit it to the written record.
Thank you for reading.

The most insane thing about all this, is just that:
-There is no reason to defend this.
It’s not political. You could just say:
“Officer didn’t follow protocol. Doesn’t reflect our values. Will be held accountable”
There is NOTHING to gain from defending this UNLESS you *want* for ICE to have the freedom to kill US citizens for disagreeing with you!
JD Vance@JDVance
This is preposterous. First of all, she's not waving the officers through and has no right to do so even if she were. She is waving another car through, before the officers approach her car. Second, the officers are not randomly searching her, they are approaching her vehicle because she is violating the law: namely, she is obstructing a lawful enforcement operation. You're not allowed to walk up to or drive up to people who are enforcing the law to make it harder for them to do their jobs. Third, this defense attorney is drawing a meaningless distinction between an ICE officer and a "real police officer." Again, you're not allowed to interrupt a lawful enforcement operation, which is exactly what this woman was doing. Fourth, the officer didn't discharge his weapon to prevent her from fleeing. When he discharged his weapon, she had pointed the vehicle at him and pressed the gas. He discharged his weapon in self defense, and other angles of the video show the woman *clearly* hit the officer with her car while accelerating. The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it. This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him. A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with.
