That line pissed me off bc Xi Jinping and a few other non-aligned states have tried to get them to the diplomatic table and end this, but obv Zelenskyy was too self-centered and war-hungry to see reason.
I mean, I sorta get what they’re going for, but even if they were funny or intelligent (they’re definitely enthusiastic, Can’t deny that) not a single one of those things would make a difference as to how the outcome of this war turns out, especially the humor part lol. Mao famously said “political power grows out of the microphone of a comedian”
“Thank you, Cumrag69, we, won’t forget your service and the dignity and respect that you brought to this movement. MAPfella1993, your work in the discord chats will forever be a testament to your dedication and determination for a free self-determining Ukraine. You changed the minds of so many young people and became so close and connected with them. And how could I forget you AdolfWuzRite88? Your spamming of Hindu symbols to Ruzzian Orkkk replies was pretty creative, it really showed them to be respectful to other cultures that they aren’t as familiar with.”
The only reason I could see that is maybe it wouldn’t look good for Chen, a state official, to go onto a podcast that has dick jokes and stuff, which is unfortunate, Chen is quite funny
I have read a bit of Marx, maybe 2 or 3 of his somewhat shorter works (40-60 pgs each roughly) and it’s astonishing to me how much I’ve learned by reading so little of his repertoire of Theoretical works and critiques. I haven’t even considered starting Das Kapital yet, or The Grundrisse or many other important works of his yet because I learned SO much from his Critique of the Gotha Programme that I had to re-read it to not misconstrue his amazing revelations and arguments. Humanity lost a real gem the day that he passed away. His contributions to humanity and political organization would have been appreciated if he had only written on Dialectical Materialism or just written about workers rights, or just wrote about economic use values, but the fact that he tackled and mastered all of these and many more fields of study is simply astounding to me.
Definitely, ppl who are “stoners” or make weed their life is cringe. Can’t say that a few of my friends aren’t like that lol, it has its benefits but the cringe t-shirts in public are tough to be seen w🤣
I actually saw the Irish President in person on my short 1 week visit to Ireland. What are the chances lmfao I was taking the train from airport to Dublin and so did he. I took a video of him I said hello to him. It was really really cool. He was also apparently a Poet and at a certain place in Dublin they have a statue garden with one of his poems. Whoops its sideways
Lol his criticism of Luna Oi is ridiculous, she has issues with American patriotism (huh I wonder why? She’s from America right? Oh wait a sec? Oh she’s from Vietnam, the country that the US bombed more than all the bombs in WW2 dropped combined)no shit she’s against US patriotism, she also gives analysis past that obvious point but Haz and Maupin ignore these and say she’s wrong
Sun shines even on a dog’s ass some days, broken clock moment, whatever phrase you like. Point is, yea he’s a PatSoc P.O.S. most of the time, but that analysis is pretty sound. One thing I will say is he refers to the Russian Communist party, KPRF, which is the largest communist party in Russia and someone correct me if I’m wrong but I recall hearing that the KPRF is somewhat reactionary insofar as it often follows what the Russian state calls for. And I don’t just mean the war in Ukraine, they have corruption issues. Other than that, I kinda agree with him but he went a bit hard on Hakim, I still love my Doctor Habibi
https://youtu.be/wmOePNsNFw0 He has a history of based content. He explains China and Russia in this segment and explains on Democracy Now!(SocDem Central) why the US/NATO prompted this entirely.
In the Chicago Tribune, they mentioned that in the past, as awful as US book banning was, it was limited to specific titles and not ranges of titles. I.E: Ban Book A on March 1, Ban Book B on March 15, Book C on March 20, etc. nowadays, the new standard is to ban several books all of a similar topic at once. I.E: books called “GenderQueer”, “Nonbinary” or “Intersex” in titles are banned on same day. So those books can’t be in school libraries. The article mentions that the US is going into a record year of book bannings.
I mean, one is actively talking about the extermination of a race of people, the other just does some pills in her apt and does some freaky shit on her weekends. Not quite my thing, BUT IT’S NOT ACTIVELY PROPOSING GENOCIDE!
