With Kiev’s army collapsing and a narrative of Western betrayal gaining currency, the horror inflicted on residents of Donbas for a decade could very soon be coming to a city near you
So that could literally be the mujahideen scenario again
That's true, but, I think that it's useful to point out that liberalism is an ideology that postures as progressive contrary to blunt conservatism which is just "support whatever is the status quo".
So this idea that "we the bourgeoisie lead the charge for a better world" is idealistically supposing that the liberals would hold the bourgeoisie accountable for not upholding its liberal promises.
However the falsehood of this principle is showing in plain sight as the decline of imperialism gets more evident
The western bourgeoisie has understood that whatever they do liberals will side with them, and leftists are too weak to be a threat. I can only hope it will make them fly too close to the sun
For now, my personal favourite example of effective education/propaganda are a french team called "Zawa Prod". Unfortunately it's only in french but here's a quick breakdown:
Different Marxist tendencies+ strong anti colonial ties for the ideological core
No overt symbolism on the surface, but honest about being left wing militants (sneakily quote Mao sometimes)
Both valuing entertainment, crass humour, good vibes, while having a separate well-defined time for serious discussion
No catering to the poor little white male reformed nazis like breadtube, focus on creating a welcoming space for both indigenous people and LGBT+ people, openly discussing the difficulties of bringing the two together
They have a significant following and are actually able to get a lot of money from donations, allowing them to make bigger projects and reach more people.
Should isn't even really the question, since could leftists "convert" nazis is already a no
Real chuds are lost. The other who simply have a phase might grow out of it as long as we keep putting publicly accessible resources that don't have to cater specifically to them
It's not "international women's day" it's the "Day in Commemoration of the Outstanding Merits of Soviet Women in Communistic Construction, in the Defense of their Fatherland during the Great Patriotic War, in their Heroism and Selflessness at the Front and in the Rear, and also Marking the Great Contribution of Women to Strengthening Friendship Between Peoples, and the Struggle for Peace" 🤬
but the most important thing is knowing how to say no without sounding like you’re saying no.
Yeah it's a lot about how to market yourself to your higher ups. An employee is a commodity and selling commodites is more about marketing than the actual quality of the product. The biggest victims of that system are the introvert ones who do six extra miles but don't get any recognition
Yeah my bet is that the think tank just waved a some paper at them completely unsolicited and got ignored, which is enough for them to say they totally are top advisers
I watched it some time ago and I agree! This creator can go from good to super based at times. I don't know if she has ties to the growing anti-colonial alternative media from France but she really has similar talking points so it wouldn't surprise me at all. Those are people who are both cool, successful and able to quote Chairman Mao on the occasion. This is what gives me hope about this otherwise cringe country!
That's so biaised, of course I'm gonna vote RPGs at Walmart for the meme
