The problem with seeing the current process as a reversion to feudalism is that one of the key elements of that system was that the workforce was tied to its land and lord. Capitalism comes to change that fact, making the workforce flow freely between territories, masters and professions (all to an extent, of course). This is one of the main factors for such an historical increase in productivity and nowadays it still goes on.
She has literally said Venezuela was “like a sexy woman” open to foreign capital.
Those who dance next to a concentration camp don’t deserve a single tear. Sometimes living like an entitled westernized settler has consequences. It should always have consequences. Fuck these displays of empathy for those who have none, that’s for liberals who believe they’ll never be on the oppressed side. It’s so easy for them to appeal to the bOTh SidEs bullshit.
CW: SA story
Some of the experiences told here resonate too much with mine, in my case the perpetrator was male and a close friend of mine, we were both adults. I spent years silent because I didn’t know how to explain how I was removed by another adult male and “did nothing against it” (after being unconscious I woke up and he was there, doing it). I cut contact with him. After more than 5 years I finally broke the silence and told what had happened to some of the friends we had in common, I thought it was the least I could do, this person is dangerous to other people. My “friends” acted all worried about it but the next day they ghosted me.
The physical damage was nothing in comparison with the distrust I developed. They must have seen me as a burden so they abandoned me. My priority was alerting them, I wasn’t asking for retribution or anything of the sort. Never talked about my abuser in hateful terms. For some reason I didn’t feel hate towards him, only disgust and disappointment.
Men have a lot of trouble conceiving their kind as adult victims of SA. Not only when the victim is another person, it was hard for me to come into terms with what had happened too at first. The idea that “IT COULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ME” is in our subconscious and I get it, it’s the alpha male bullshit from the patriarchal society we get fed from birth. But my friends were all leftists so I thought they would act differently. Maybe I was asking too much.
Although the event itself hurts less now it changed me, I don’t trust people so easily and my boundaries are way more stricter than before. To this day I can’t call anybody a friend, I don’t perceive basic empathy from other people and in every social interaction I feel like I’m about to get fucked(figuratively), the paranoia never goes away.
Are fennec and librewolf still good alternatives as non-chromium based browsers?
I had to uninstall fennec a year ago when f-droid said it was not safe because of a delay in updates or something like that.
Add a fountain coming out of the neck so the birds can drink and shit on its big head.
Millions of people could be saved if the flow of slaves into the entity were disrupted.
What the hell is he doing with his hands? Anyway, I hope they stay that way.
Para colmo usan las banderas de un “socialismo revolucionario”. Caraduras…
We are talking about two different things here. I said it was probably a case of smuggling, someone (not a dealer) got the wrong bag of flour.
Poisoning Palestinians through tainted food is not an unlikely scenario but If they are doing it this wouldn’t be a proper method. I already stated why and I don’t want to go in depth about it as it is sensible information.
I was expecting it to be in powder form, mixed with the flour. Don’t get me wrong, I’d only eat food from a zionist if I were starving, but I’m not convinced. Maybe they were trying to smuggle drugs for some dealers. Zionists are already causing chaos with mercenaries near Rafah. I doubt those pills were meant for the average Palestinian to find inside the flour, recognize them as a particular brand of opioid medication and say “I guess I’ll get high to numb the pain” then proceed to take them while baking bread.
Where is the source? I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the flour was poisoned but there are more effective drugs for that purpose. Less traceable, more harmful, orally active, less fragile, etc.
Another case of Israel’s child soldiers policy. We need a Kony 2012 type campaign to liberate occupied Palestine by the end of 2025.
He ran a shitcoin scam through his presidential twitter account and nothing happened. Nothing ever happens. Except for crypto scams.
Since the bombing attacks to the Israeli embassy (1992) and AMIA (a jewish organization) in 1994, Iran has been on the radar of Argentine politics. The investigation and judicial process were a total fuck up, full of tainted evidence, false witnesses and fake accusations, etc. At first they pointed at Syrians but quickly switched to Iranians because that narrative was more palatable for zionist & yanki interests.
Then in the first half of the 2010s Cristina Kirchner’s government (centrist) was accused by the right-wing opposition of “helping Iran” when the congress approved a memorandum with Iran. To summarize: they spread fake news about Interpol red alerts on some Iranians “falling” because of the memorandum, which were denied by the same Interpol. They didn’t care and half the public ate this bullshit. This political move was incentivized by DAIA, a zionist organization similar to the ADL in yankiland.
10 years later the far right wing keeps insisting that “ThE LeFt” is in cahoots with Iran. And of course they consider Kirchnerism (Peronist variant) as “left-wing” radical communists which is laughable, they are centrists or right-wingers depending on what direction the wind blows.
EDIT: not to defend Kirchner but the accusations are baseless. What really matters is how they created a scary monster to act as opposition.
Furthermore, there is the narrative that those bomb attacks were in response to Argentina’s involvement in the First Gulf War, so it is understandable that in this situation some can be worried if this nutjob sends military support for the American Empire in case of another war.
Typical zionist move, trying to erase Yiddish language in favor of the made up language called “modern hebrew”.
How much oil can Iran supply to China through that new freight train they announced which goes through Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kirghistan and Kazakhstan? Is it relevant enough in this situation?
Yes, it’s hard to get official numbers when their government has been severely damaged. Exactly one year ago The Lancet published an estimate of a 180.000 death toll. Given the impossibility of doing a precise count I think an estimate should be included when talking about this (as long as the methodology is solid, of course).
Absolutely. Sometimes in the heat of the conversation I have a hard time explaining to other people why wage labour is just another form of slavery, they look at me like a weirdo and say “But we are free to choose, nobody’s making us do anything!” among other nonsensical reasoning for which my patience is lacking.
If anyone has some good strategies to deal with this situation I’d gladly welcome them.
