Not being directly charged and found guilty isn't the trump card they think it is. Most Nazis were never punished, many top brass went on to shape the west into what it is today.
Not sure at the moment. It's a relatively new calendar, only established 1997 as far as I can tell. Maybe as a tribute to Kim Il Sung and his contributions to the people.
Calling people calling out Nazi worship fake news and Russian trolls tells us all we need to know about your personal beliefs, and they're not welcome here.
For those actually interested, AP has since wiped all evidence of their mention of Hunka from the screenshotted article and others, but there is still a reference to his history from known Russian troll farm The Toronto Star. I looked at archived versions of the AP article as well and they're the same as the version currently on the AP site.
When I bring up context like this the person I'm in conversation with often rolls their eyes and says something like "it doesn't matter why things were bad under communism, people had a traumatic time and you have to respect that."
Anyway has anyone got more sources on Romania and the Imperialist Monetary Fund profiteering?
I've been trying to get a new job title and description and raise for the last six months, which is more than two years overdue. I was supposed to meet with the COO today to finalize some details and they just stood me up. Nothing gets done at this place if it isn't threatening a revenue stream.
Even so, part of me blames myself for working above and beyond my job description in the first place. Now I've come to the conclusion that I have no leverage to get the title and raise that I've earned.
I've been told off before (privately) for wanting to unionize, but I might just do it anyway as a going away present to the owners.
That seems rather efficient in terms of space. Making race tracks of any kind multi use is tricky. At least with full size tracks (think 5km road length or so) park area can definitely be made in and around, but cart tracks are pretty compact. In that image I don't see anything that can be cut out while maintaining safety and functionality. Some races also use temporary road circuits but that brings in other issues from the massive effort required to set up and take down for just one event per year.
I think the primary pollutants from car racing in general are exhaust and micro-plastics (rubber from the tyres wears off on the road and gets into the environment). Both can certainly be mitigated.
Even so, I wonder to what extent we'll allow polluting activity on a small scale for hobbies and entertainment. Of course polluting just for fun isn't necessary (fireworks for example) but amateur/hobby sports definitely have a place in a socialist society.
Laowhy and serpentza are racist dirtbags grifting off all the China hate that's everywhere in the west. They had to run for a reason, and that reason was that they were and are spreading hate speech.
Katherine's Journey to the East, Li Jingjing, or Daniel Dumbrill will much more accurately present life in the different parts of China.
In terms of dramas you may find In the Name of the People interesting.
For documentaries, I've recently seen mentions of How Yukong Moved the Mountains, although I haven't yet found a place to watch it.
There's also a large collection of leftist movies which includes fictional dramas and documentaries about USSR and PRC over on hexbear. https://hexbear.net/post/9615
Edit: CGTN also has some good documentaries on modern and historical events.
Liberalism and capitalism aren't internally coherent. The only reason why they've stuck around so long is the sheer power the capitalist class wields via their institutions of state and private property. While you could argue that capitalism is illegal, even in capitalist nations, the capitalist class holds the institutions of justice and law in its hands and will never make a ruling that compromises its own ability to take ever more capital.
It's true that at the core of it, the immediate effect of private property is extortion. That's the basis of all class relations under capitalism. Private property itself has its basis in theft. The capitalist has property, the worker doesn't, so the worker must do something for the capitalist in order to gain conditional access to said property. Taken further it's also why social democratic compromises can only go so far, for if everyone has a reasonable quality of life they will not agree to the extortionate demands of the capitalists.
To your last thought, there is no fixing capitalism. It inevitably ends in monopolies, rentierism, imperialism, and the cooption/destruction of everything around it to feed the machine.
My understanding of Group 2B is that it's assigned to whatever IARC researchers get enough lobby money for to classify in some way. They'll give some lab rats a gargantuan dose of the substance, something will happen, and 2B can be assigned.
Put another way, they found all the Group 1 definite carcinogens by the early 2000s and needed a reason to keep researching after that. Of course there are some new substances that pop up regularly that need to be investigated but beyond that there's a significant established base of knowledge.
With the RF specifically its interesting that some groups have correlated it to negative health outcomes, but nobody as of yet has shown how it can even affect the human body, let alone cause cancer.
