DPRK is obviously maligned by U.S. propaganda, but I know several people who've gone and loved it. Famously, the "Boy Boy" YouTube channel guys went and got a haircut. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BO83Ig-E8E
Nukes.
This is the same conclusion Karl Marx came to. “The entire development of wealth rests upon the creation of disposable time.” —Karl Marx, Outlines of the Critique of Political Economy (Rough Draft), 1857 “…real wealth…
We are all being investigated by the Feds 24/7 — that's what dragnet surveillance is: indiscriminate investigation at scale to be used retroactively. "Don't do anything bad and nothing will happen" is frankly asinine to…
Never trust news about the DPRK from South Korean spy agencies. It's only a matter of months before it's proven to be nonsense. They're the ones always saying crap like "North Koreans push their trains by hand" or "Kim…
Horrible article with fundamentally flawed premises. History didn't start in 2023.
Interesting that the author doesn't mention a reduction in working hours as a solution because I see that as THE solution. Federally mandate an 18 hour work week and job demand will soar. It's just as fanciful a thought…
Writing should be for _you_ not for others. If it's not, then you won't be able to maintain it anyway. IMO yes it's still worth it if only to synthesize new thoughts, show potential employers you _think_, and to…
Literally everything is political.
Interesting flip of reality in that sentence.
"Essentially" is carrying a lot of weight in that sentence. NATO _personnel_ (not necessarily soldiers, but officers and staff) have been active in Ukraine since 2014-15.
US/NATO could do the same and get out of Ukraine to leave it neutral.
No, I'm not like that. I think myself and millions of others do care and act every day in some small way that adds up to the world not being a dystopian hell-hole.

Psyop to increase internet surveillance.
People will get defensive and kneejerk some vague response about how it doesn't affect _them_ that way (science!), but I agree 100% with you. It's a drug and it feels like it's being pushed on us these days by states…
Why has Ukraine rarely lost power, water or internet? Why isn't Russia destroying civilian infrastructure en masse? Because it's not a war in the same way the US went to war with Iraq, for example (one of the first…
This sort of braindead mindset is exactly why learning dialectical materialism is so important. You're essentially denying causality. A bobcat is cornered by a man with a stick, the bobcat lashes out, you blame the…
Not to mention a vast percentage of their energy usage is spent on manufacturing for the West. We're essentially off-loading our carbon output to less developed countries then blaming them for it.
That pollution is due to exported goods – the US and other western countries are essentially offloading their pollution to China, who is more than happy to take the cash and greenify their own infrastructure.
I don't imagine some central command – I understand Gramsci's concept of cultural hegemony and Marx's base/superstructure dialectic. The American people are completely bought into the imperial line, but they still need…
Americans are gone. Anti-China sentiment is at a boiling point and I really no longer see objective reporting or discussions. It's infuriating that the US is able to manufacture consent so efficiently.
He can be voted out at any time. Western democracies don't even have democratic recall outside of the neutered impeachment process. GTF outta here with your completely ignorant takes on Chinese politics, you clearly…
