'The great tragedy and crime of the war on terror was that the United States decided to take revenge for it on entire civilian populations of countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, who bore no guilt for the 9/11 attacks' https://theintercept.com/2022/08/02/al-qaeda-zawahiri-drone-death/ @yogthos But Teslas and SUVs stay well washed weekly all around the tech centers of the region. After all, dirty cars lead to ridicule, disenfranchisement, and failure to get contract renewals at gurgle and twatter. @yogthos Now that I have your attention 😎 https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/@heretical_i/108766812391209519 CPC and World Marxist Political Parties Forum https://socialistchina.org/2022/08/03/report-cpc-and-world-marxist-political-parties-forum/ In a poll of nearly 7500 readers by the United Daily News website, 61 per cent said the trip was "not welcome" as it "may destabilise the Taiwan Strait". https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/ugly-american-nancy-pelosi-taiwan-visit-sparks-pro-china-protests/U6EZOAMQ3MJBCKYTFHEXRKF2BY/ @yogthos it's a display of american arrogance that with the background of the war in ukraine they decide to go on a provocation trip to taiwan for no reason The Tyranny Of Structurelessness is a great read on the problems inherent in Anarchist style organization Mood shifts in Taiwan as Nancy Pelosi visit raises fears of war.

At present, this is a dangerously underexplored topic. Hyundai Alabama child labor allegations lead to class action lawsuit Chomsky explains what the US media and political class really mean when they talk about the "China threat": "They will not tolerate the existence of a state that cannot be intimidated and does not follow orders the way Europe does, but pursues its own course. That's the threat." @yogthos for many years I held Chomsky's lack of response or action in response to the shac trial an act of moral cowardice. This was especially true given that Richard Stallman personally apologized to me for his own inaction and agreed with my analysis years later, though, unlike Chomsky, Stallman at least could legitimately say he was not deeply aware of the issues at the time. The biggest supporters of the shac defendants were the n wobblies, and that I was proud to see. @iwwnyc Xi says Marxism shows new vitality in 21st century https://peoplesdaily.pdnews.cn/china/xi-says-marxism-shows-new-vitality-in-21st-century-271474.html |
