“Just get YT premium” Capitalism means making a product worse to sell you the fix for it.. They make ads so unbearable that you HAVE to spend money and then think it’s a great deal, instead of a scam

The President of the United States has threatened genocide against the Iranian people. This is an open admission of the intent to commit crimes against humanity. How on earth can the world just sit by and let Trump get away with such depravity? Our own government’s complicity, appeasement and moral failure has brought us to this moment. The Prime Minister must, at a minimum, revoke the use of British air bases for US bombers — and demand an immediate end to the illegal attacks on Iran, now.

Can you imagine the international outrage if China or Russia threatened to kill a whole civilisation. Where are the condemnations from all the western leaders?

The world really must realize that the US empire is the Fourth Reich. The genocide that the US empire sponsored in Gaza is what it is willing to do the entire Global South, in a desperate attempt to save its dying hegemony. The world must unite to stop this genocidal empire.

i think this is a great idea

AI companies will say AI is inevitable and then be like “please please please please please please please please use us”

The future has been cancelled. In your life you will live through an endless reboot of the highlights from 1980- 2010. There is no longer any need for new ideas or new writers or creators. Thanks to risk-averse algorithmic capitalism - we're entering a closed loop of the past.

Every workplace has a Strait of Hormuz. You and your coworkers just have to find it and shut it down.

Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands are boycotting Eurovision because Israel has been allowed to take part.

They’re not even subtle.

The West refused to condemn slavery in a UN General Assembly vote denouncing the transatlantic slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity”. Europe abstained. Just 3 countries voted against it: the US, Israel, and Argentina. More info here: geopoliticaleconomy.report/p/west-condemn…

BREAKING: The United Nations has voted 123-3 in favor to condemn the enslavement of millions of Africans and the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The three countries voting against it? 🇺🇸 USA 🇮🇱Israel 🇦🇷 Argentina Nearly all of Europe abstained.

When Eisenhower was asked why the United States did not allow the 1956 Vietnamese reunification elections agreed upon at Geneva, he answered with unusual honesty. He said that if elections were held, Hồ Chí Minh would win with approximately 80 percent of the vote. So they cancelled the elections. Think about that every time an American politician talks about "spreading democracy." They cancelled the democratic election because the "wrong" person would win. They then spent the next two decades killing people to prevent the government that would have been democratically elected from taking power. And they called the other side anti-democratic. This is not ancient history. This is the logic that still governs every "democracy promotion" operation today. Democracy is acceptable when it produces the "right" results. When it does not, you cancel the election, back a coup, fund the opposition, impose sanctions, and call the government that the people actually chose a "dictatorship." Vietnam exposed this logic completely. Not with arguments. With history. With the receipts.

well yeah, because the term mainland china by definition excludes Taiwan and the SARs. I know what you're saying is it's never been administered directly by Beijing since 1949, but that doesn't matter. The "ROC" constitution claims all of China, the PRC constitution claims the same. The UN recognizes the PRC as the sole legitimate government of all of China, as do most countries, and the rest of them recognize the "ROC," which still doesn't recognize Taiwan as an independent country. Taiwan was without a doubt a part of China until the Japs took it in 1895, but it was then returned to China in 1945. What happened in 1949 is internal. PRC views it self as a successor state to the ROC. The "ROC" claims continued existence and sole legitimacy. Neither side officially recognizes two Chinas, and the separatists in charge of Taiwan today are violating the laws of Taipei when they claim otherwise.

Bombing school kids: zero response Bombing gas and oil: global task force This is why capitalism as a governing ideology is incompatible with our basic humanity

66 years of embargo. 33 consecutive UN votes demanding it end. 165 nations said stop. The US said no. Now Trump blocks Cuba’s oil and calls it a ‘friendly takeover’. When the bully names the robbery, believe him. This is imperialism in plain English

The United States has spent 66 years trying to starve Cuba into collapse. You don't do that to a failed economic model. You do that to a working alternative.
