Get them in the stocks to be pelted by tomatoes by the community

Now break that shit down per capita, and also try and account for the fact that China is a huge manufacturing hub for the entire world's consumption, you jackass.

Having worked in NHSE during the initial contracts given to Palantir, in data analytics, no one below SLT gave a shit about what Palantir were producing and never engaged with it. But the higher-ups? The only drips that gave them the time of day. Some much more enthusiastically than others.

Nah it's not welsh at all, he was born there but grew up entirely in England.

We will help bomb children in Palestine and blow up Yemen for trying to stop "Israel", but draw the line at "credible" evidence of slave labour in China from Radio Free Asia and Adrian Zenz. Fucking joke of a country.

Me when my country still has lynchings of black and brown people, had horrific racial discrimination during the worst of the USSRs excesses, has the highest per capita incarceration rate of overwhelmingly black and indigenous people, is responsible in part for the deaths of over 1 million Iraqis, put Japanese Americans in concentration camps during WW2 just in case they were spies, genocided their native population and still effectively operates apartheid for the remaining natives, supports the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, locked up and tortured MENA people without trial post 9/11 in an offshore torture camp, ran black sites all across Iraq and Afghanistan doing more torture of brown people and on and on and on and on and on and on....

Marx's Capital mentions at one point that the working class in Manchester were reliant on drugs like opium to cope with their insane working conditions and poor life/housing conditions.

It's not a new thing at all.

The spectrum of autism isn't mild to disabling.

It's a spectrum of presenting symptoms. What "functional autism" is, is a constellation of symptoms that means you can just about navigate the world as expected by neurotypical people. "Non-functioning" autism or "profound" autism are where the constellation of symptoms makes you unable to function in the world. This is more often than not inclusive of non-verbal autisms and poor motor control autisms.

"Functional" autism can be disabling for the individual in certain conditions - they may be completely unable to read social cues, or be severely impacted by certain stimulatory environments.

The "functionality is entirely reliant on the US". I.e. in order for Trident to function we need missiles from the US to carry the atomic warheads and we need to spend money every few years to replace old and out of date missiles. If the US decided to stop selling us the missiles Trident would cease to function. Ergo they have outsized control over our nuclear deterrent.

Trident's functionality is entirely reliant on the US.

Our nuclear deterrent is the US's nuclear deterrent but it's parked in Scotland to have access to Russia's western front.

The last time any of those things were won by the working class they had come home angry and fed up fighting a war, and were ready to demand at least some concessions from the ruling class. These concessions were granted because the capitalists were terrified that an even angrier working class that knew how to use weapons and fight in an army would lead to a 1917 Russian revolution situation.

Until the same style of conditions exist I don't think the working class are in any kind of place to just demand better from the capitalist class. Hopefully the next time we don't just accept a bribe and let the next generation(s) eat shit while lapping it up.

Zero possibility that this friend lied?

Some people love to lie especially if it gets a rise out of people. "Defectors" including the likes of Yeonmi Park from the DPRK also are financially incentivised to lie. I know people that lie about shit in the UK to make things sound worse than it is, and they will swear up and down it's true after being called out on it.

I think it's recognition as an equal being on equal footing worthy of equal respect, not as an object of domination. In that equality the master can recognise themselves unalienated, and see themselves as a person worthy of respect in their own right. What worth is the respect gained from a slave who you dominate mentally and physically? It's an incomplete recognition in its own right that doesn't see the master as the full human they are as well.

Losurdo's "Class Struggle" talks a lot about the multiplicity of class struggles through this lense.

Happy to be corrected on the above by any Hegel pros.
