  • Not talked about, but I can talk about

    Freedom to speak, not to be heard. Good luck saying those things on TV and ever being invited again. Good luck talking about these issues in a book and getting it published.

  • Not justified, but the western version of the event is extremely falsified. Hakim has a good video on the topic.

    My point is that the US has not been willing to escalate by using live rounds

    Police violence aside

  • Kent state happened as a massacre against unarmed students. Tiananmen Square happened after several weeks of protests, in which protestors murdered and burned some soldiers and took their weapons. Only then did the military intervene.

  • So they don't formally exist and the entire political game is just about whether you choose the good or the bad representatives, and all knowledge and legislation about institutions is liable to be simply ignored without penalty

  • For the millionth time: the results are out. The fraction of dem voters who stayed home because of the Gaza genocide isn't high enough to warrant the loss. Stop blaming the people who stood the strongest against genocide.

  • I'd say the average republican does have a solid grasp of how the government works, seeing the extremely high activity of Trump's government. Turns out the "checks and balances" and the "branches of government" and all of that shit only serves to slow down progressive policy. When it's about bombing brown kids or defending healthcare, policy can speed through the fucking system

  • The answer is simpler than that: the "checks and balances" system is a facade created to prevent meaningful progressive policy from passing. There's a reason why Trump can modify a billion laws from day 1, but poor Biden couldn't possibly do anything to codify abortion as a right or prevent the bombing of children in Gaza.

  • As always: the power of the working class resides in work. Organize your workplace. It doesn't matter whether you stop buying cola, real impact will come if your workplace stops buying the overpriced 100k€ machine imported from the US tech sector. THAT'S where you really hurt them. Consumer expenditure is a minuscule amount of relevant key US exports.

    Organize your workplace, join a union and create a local branch. Join an existing revolutionary socialist party. Create mutual aid networks in your neighbourhoods.

  • Socialists predicted that Ukraine would be betrayed by the US, there's literally a 2+ year-old meme in the comment section of this post with the picture of Zelensky being welcomed by Gaddafi, Saddam and Bin Laden

  • Point systems that prevent you from air travel or entering other provinces because you dared criticize the almighty government

    That's... just not real... Your understanding of Chinese policy comes from curated western sources with vested interests in putting a dystopian and totalitarian understanding of China and its government in our countries' people (we're both westerners). There are systems in place to prevent certain convicted criminals from freely moving around there country, but that has little to do with criticising the party.

    Regardless, big data on traffic doesn't imply knowledge about the particular vehicles and drivers inside said vehicles. You're just going ahead and assuming "dystopian control of people" because it's China.
