  • Silver outflows from China to britain in 1800-1900 were over a billion silver dollars. This was exacted in war "reparations" and the opium trade which was forced on them.

    In the 250 years before 1800 China took in around a billion silver dollars from European traders in exchange for goods.

    So europe took a billion silver dollars worth of trade goods from China over 250 years. Then over the next 100 years Britain took all that money along with any trade goods. Essentially making all of china slaves for 350 years.

    In 1800 china's populaiton was almost 300 million and britain was 11 million. So back of the envelope math says that Britain owes China 10,000 years of slavery. (i've never though about it like that but its fucking crazy)

  • Lenin didn't spend half a book talking about the necessity of founding newspapers because he never considered talking to people in real life. You will never be able to have a one hour political conversation with 10,000 people. A small podcast does that every week. Podcasts are the pamphlets and newspapers of the 21 century. If the podcasts aren't reaching the right people we need more of them not less.

  • You need to up your asshole game if that's the best you've got. You should be telling liberals that they are rolling out the red carpet for the next hitler, yelling at old ladies in the hair salon for their complicity in climate change.

  • Agitation is the foundation of organization. There are plenty of leftist organizing things but they get co-opted by the liberals because the class consciousness isn't there. With sufficient class consciousness in a population you can't stop organization. It will happen nearly of its own accord.

    Maybe the next revolutionary leftist podcast will be the one that breaks out of leftist circles and starts killing liberalism.

  • The phrase you are after is "Duvet cover." A blanket is technically just a single layer of fabric, a quilt is several layers and a Duvet is 2 layers with stuffing. Calling any/all of them "blankets" is normal... until you have to put the cover on.

  • United States | News & Politics @lemmy.ml

    Interview about resistance to ICE in L.A. w/ Abraham Marquez. Fuck Ice, Free Gaza!

  • The fact that he is running as a dem is a red flag. They are using him to rehabilitate the dem brand. Participation in bourgeois elections only helps the cause if it is done under the banner of communism. He's a sheepdog rounding up the "progressive" liberals who are disgusted by the support for the genocide.

    He is the dem's way of saying "I'm sorry baby. I've changed. I'll never hit you again. Please take me back"

  • Dude you need to work on your reading comprehension. That article is not making fun of the backlash. The backlash isn't mentioned ore even hinted at.

    It is making fun of how in 2018 he had a habit of saying and doing racist shit and then half assing an apology and hypothesizing that the next move could plausibly be putting on a kkk robe and then making a bad apology. There is no mention of backlash.

  • Keep on going. The more you say "this is about stopping the spread of misinformation" and ignoring the fact that pewdiepie is a racist who inspired a literal nazi mass murderer you are just showing your true colors.

  • So you are standing up for a racist... to own the magas?

    Fascists love to make make false equivalencies.

    The difference between misremembering a satirical exaggeration of how extremely racist a proven racist is, is not the same as making up blood libel against immigrants.

    See how easy this game is?

    Just because fascists can use misinformation does not mean that every piece of incorrect information is a the act of a fascist.

    If someone says "a streamer who was canceled after promoting neo-nazi content and saying racist stuff on multiple occasions belongs in a hole made famous by the fact it was used to dispose of the bodies of fascists (not all of them dead)" I think it is safe to assume that person disapproves of fascists. Calling such a person a fascist seems rather ignorant.

  • Throwing around ablist slurs eh? You and pewdiepie are cut from the same cloth.

    This isn't about my misremembering a really good satire bit as fact because it was so close to true. If it was about that you'd accept my appology and my admission that I was mistaken.

    This is about you wanting to make it about anything but the fact that he is a racist who lures children into consuming neo-nazi content.

  • Linking a story and then apologizing when you realize it was satire that mildly exaggerated the truth is pro fascist disinformation? That is probably one of the dumbest things I have heard this week.

  • I've admitted my error. So is your problem really with my mistake? or are you trying to distract from the fact that pewdiepie is a a racist who should be de platformed? Because one of those is passively supporting a white supremacist and the other is actively trying to promote a white supremacists.
