Ewoks shouldn't have fought back, they should've led peaceful protests to vote the Emperor out.

One particular thing about the Yankee "love" for indigenous people is that they effectively believe that indigenous people are dead or aren't part of their country any more. That means they can go on and on about how much they care about indigenous history, say they want to protect indigenous landmarks but don't ever talk about the currently living indigenous people fighting for their land and rights, or their many imprisoned comrades. This is true for other American settler states too.

This is why they'll post black and white pictures of long dead leaders (challenge: have them name those leaders and their nations), but if you ask them about AIM or even living leaders like Peltier they'll think you're making things up. If Israel manages to somehow stablish themselves in the Middle-East to the level the the US did in North America (highly doubtful), they'll celebrate "Palestinian Peoples' Day" the exact same way.

That is actually a great way of putting it, thanks! I had never consciously understood before how for Ukraine and their backers, victory seems like an inevitability.

I was a bit let down by the social liberal talk in some of the WGA leadership, so this is a great development. Tiocfaidh ár lá!

I'm pretty sure lib socioeconomics is just a branch of psychoanalysis. Why report on the actual events when you can retroactively explain Big Man's decisions like Freud on crack?

This could be on the dictionary definition of orientalism. You might want to rethink this statement.

I'm too lazy and tired right now, but somebody should do one of those Spongebob diaper scene memes but with Ukraine Nazis. It writes itself.

Now, hear me out, this might sound crazy, but what if Europe gave historic reparations to Latin American countries for their colonialism and imperialism, therefore reducing the need for further deforestation? Though in all honesty a large portion of the current day deforestation is for soy plantations, which is used to make livestock rations that then go on to feed European and Yankee livestock for the profit of the local latifundiarios and nobody else. Despite what it may seem, most Brazilians (and the other countries) don't really want more deforestation nor are they benefited by it.

And that's not even counting all the indigenous people who are actively fighting the destruction and takeover of their lands, including a recent vote over legislation that could've legally barred them from claiming a lot of it.

Anybody know a shadow library for Portuguese-language books? I'd love to get these books in Portuguese, but they usually cost way too much.

Brazilian leftists at home: 🔥🇧🇷🔥

Brazilian leftists when they remember estadunidenses don't even have public healthcare: É PENTA!

I'm also for that.

It's still up right now, they plan to kill it by 2024 and YTMP will supposedly be online by then. I suppose this has to do with reallocating their developers and avoiding redundant apps. Not that they're consistent with the latter.

It's not like podcast players are particularly complex to build and maintain, so they don't require that much cashflow. Podbean sustains itself quite well with the odd image ad and AntennaPod is FOSS. I think the problem is more the opposite, since competition is so easy and monetising it would suck interest out of it, Google has no interest in actually competing. Which is why they're trying to build their own walled garden with uploading your podcasts only directly to YouTube, RSS feeds be damned.

But if they blow up every house, there'll plenty of housing to be built later on by EU companies. That's basically the same thing, right? That's what the citizens want, right?

It might just be my lack of knowledge of the smaller European countries, but this is such a niche thing on a community that is technically not supposed to be an explicit anticommunist thing, that I feel this might be fedposting.

It's a neat trick, post something that confirms previously enforced biases, but not interesting or topical enough that many people will know about it and push back, or actually bother to research it.

I randomly had this thought when watching the speech, Lula's international geopolitics might be the standard social-democrat playbook of only taking the smallest risks with the lowest chance of winning, but making them seem like their biggest fights. Kinda like the US democrats on abortion, for reference.

Although Brazil has a very large economy, the government has no fangs and will hardly ever threaten imperialist countries to get what it wants. There's basically no internal mobilisation for, for example, bigger partnership with Cuba (i.e. the new Mais Médicos program is now directed at Brazilian doctors) or other strong actions. Besides a bit of buzz and a slight mounting of the already gigantic pressure, I doubt that this will bother the USA much.

And this isn't even a change in opinion. PT has always had moderate support and cooperation with Cuba and IIRC they had the official position that the bloqueo is criminal during their other 3.5 presidencies.

Cool? Yes, actually pretty neat. But without coordinated action by CELAC for something impactful it's just words in the wind. Friendly reminder that the UN has a vote every year where 170+ countries vote demanding an end to the embargo, and only the USA and their middle-eastern military base vote to keep it.

The reason is right there in the article:

which requires the U.S. president, absent a waiver, to identify and sanction Chinese officials responsible for abuses.

Problem is, they can't identify these officials (or the abuses) because of lack of evidence (or even proper investigation). As evidence of this lack of evidence, can anybody name any official known to take part in any of the vague accusations?

Even the abuses listed in the article are just "forced labor and labor transfers" and that'd be really funny of the US to use as a charge against any other country given their 13th amendment private prisons.

Marxists.org has a small text extracted from a french book, that possibly has a translation somewhere.

It's really hard to find good material on Haiti in English, and the host is quite a lib, but the Revolutions Podcast series on Haiti is so complete and thorough you can mostly come to your own conclusions. It's principally based on the book "Avengers of the New World" by Dubois, which was alright as far as I got into it, but not explicitly leftist either.

I think haitiliberte.com might have something with a socialist lens on him, but I couldn't find any.

Well, he did also forbid them from living, unless they were Polish for complex historical reasons.

the Haitian general who fought against the French in the Haitian Revolution, and thus had a hand in genociding many remnants of the white slave-owners… to create the first abolitionist country.

I've had a socdem acquaintance literally imply that forbidding white people from owning property in Haiti was racist, and that it was a good thing the USA occupation (of which they'd had just learned about) changed that because it "recognised people's human rights." That might be too hard a test for some of them, considering most probably can't even find Haiti in a map.
