One week ago, China and Russia formalized an agreement with Yemen’s new govt to allow safe passage of their ships through the Red Sea. Today, Russian warships entered the Red Sea —where US and UK warships are attacking Yemen. History is accelerating.

If Canadians lived in a democratic country, the current state of housing affordability would be more than enough to bring down the government.
people on here taking this "practice > theory" or "the best theory comes from those engaged in practice" would have a way better argument if the practice ever produced any meaningful results to measure or actually write any theory about.
If an American has their Social Credit Number stolen—which can be accomplished by glancing at their unencrypted 9-digit paper ID or be leaked by FICO themselves—they are not allowed to get a new number and must fight the criminal in court for remuneration.
I’m gonna be honest man, I would like the whole “there’s no Hamas there” thing to stop whenever there’s an atrocity in the West Bank (so, constantly). First of all it isn’t true, Hamas is active there. Hamas is 2x as popular as Fatah there. And why shouldn’t it be? Hamas is more
Michael Hudson's autobio is insane. At first I thought it was a joke or a hitjob? He reads like Feynman or Jordan Peterson, bragging and name-dropping to try to impress readers. Maybe this is why he's popular? He makes his audiences feel "safe"? michael-hudson.com/2018/08/life-t…
Deleted flippant post implying direct link btwn Irish PM’s Gaza speech & his unexpected resignation 3 days later If you’ve studied US interventions thru the yrs, it’s hard not to suspect their influence everywhere. But in this particular case, other explanations are more likely:

A lot of effort has gone into presenting Hamas, Ansar Allah, Hezbollah, etc. as mindlessly violent, disorderly groups without a plan. In reality, all their military operations have been extremely clear in their intent and reasonable in their goals.
@CHC09774889 @bidetmarxman After the closing of the Red Sea route by the Huthis and the incapability of the US to re-open it (they just made it worse) the "nothing ever happens" conclusion seems rather out of place.
This morning I tweeted about a book that I'd borrowed from the library. The author responded. He works for the NYT so this tracks with their whole vibe. Despite enjoying it I'm not going to finish it. Because as a writer myself, I say without hesitation libraries rule.
Because a lot of people asked: I took down the original tweet because it was complimentarily of the book and after his response I didn't want to give him any promotion.
@ricketyflowers @bidetmarxman @SwampCommunist Pour over most days, french press if I'm feeling something different. Any kind of machine is just not a good use of my almost non-existent counter space.
Time to add "My family had to flee the communists with nothing but the gold on their backs" to my standup routine.

The Government of Colombia has ordered the expulsion of diplomats from the Argentine embassy in Colombia based on Milei’s comments in an interview with CNN. Argentina got kicked out before the Zionists.
On thing the Al Jazeera documentary makes clear is that the atrocity propaganda was as much about distracting Israelis away from the complete and inexplicable security collapse of the IDF on October 7 as it was about producing an external-facing justification for genocide
you spelled "allying with and continuing to be Nazis" wrong

@bidetmarxman @SwampCommunist I am no anarchist but pour overs are so convenient
@bidetmarxman @TheThinkerSC Seems like a pressure campaign, making US keep operational tempo high which is very bad for high maintenance US hardware
The reason for this, at least in USA, is that most leftists are reformed Democrats who have changed their policy positions for the better but have not learned to rethink their organizing habits.
But uh when China does it it’s horrible incompetent waste that will destroy the Chinese economy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Lumberjackish_ @bidetmarxman @kitahnji While I don’t see this really strategically benefiting Russia, this move is confusing to me, but to your comment, they absolutely will in such a confined space. Carrier group in the Red Sea is like having a sniper rifle in a small room full of people with knives.
@HotSpotHotSpot Their refusal to provide ID, lack of a card with the field office information, and the apparent need to Google the field office phone number leaves me wondering if these are Zionists impersonating FBI. I don't put this past the FBI, but I have questions.
I dont know what these guys are, but theyre definitely not FBI. My guess is some zionist freak group trying to collect intel on pro Palestinian Americans

I suspect one reason Chinese diaspora seem to be esp resentful (and obsessive) over China, is b/c they feel left out of China's rise. There is much copium realizing that Chinese Americans are the outer fringe of the Sinosphere, esp culturally alienated/illiterate Chinese.
@bidetmarxman @GeromanAT The West is shitting BRICS right now
@bidetmarxman @SwampCommunist @RoninPale At least I’m not a capital L liberal I will be reassessing my actions though
