This election is a huge blow to Brazil’s whole political structure, right?

God, I hope people realize quickly how social media has made bourgeois democracy obsolete. If it wasn’t that clear 10y ago for most, surely it should be now?

Extraction colony hours, who up?

E: at a global/history scale, at least america can still collapse before it gets the rare-earth mines going, right? Please hurry up and bomb them while they’re weak, Xi

Give me your best tips to not have an anxiety attack until then

The pig nonchalantly trying to hide his face lmao. He knows exactly what this looks like

I can’t shake this ominous feeling of the urgency in recent world events

The Brazilian left currently has no viable name for the presidency other than Lula. He is very very old, so why is America trying to get Flavio Bolsonaro in there now, instead of just waiting another 4 years and get any US bootlicker in the seat easily after Lula dies?

Same as the acute intensity in the strangling of Cuba and the kidnapping of Maduro. Why now? Why is it all being done so fast? Attacking Iran, leveling a huge portion of Gaza, defeating Assad, and now that situation between Korea and occupied Korea from a few posts below…

It all feels like something unimaginably huge is coming

Kinky

Adam Curtis is currently choosing a cool song to play over this video for his next documentary

On this note, we have a lot of impacting videos posted on every news mega, I think it would be interesting to do something like Godard’s Book of Images using those, recent films and related social media videos. I don’t have a lot of editing skills, but it could be a nice practice

I’d give anything to read Lenin’s or Marx’s takes on this whole bullshit. Not even the analysis, just the tearing of ass

Xi’s rivals, from natopedia:

Bo Xilai

convicted on bribery and embezzlement charges

associated with Jiang’s faction, sometimes referred to as the “elitists”, that is generally known to favor a model that emphasizes free trade, economic development in the coastal regions, and export-led growth. It is a coalition composed largely of “princelings” (the children of high-ranking former party leaders), business people, leaders of coastal cities

.

Zhou Yongkang

convicted of bribery, abuse of power, and the intentional disclosure of state secrets

Zhou’s eldest son made more than US$1.6 billion from public works in the city of Chongqing alone

.

Crazy how a new government can simply get rid of a bunch of high level, powerful corrupt politicians like this. Too bad there’s probably not a lot of trustworthy information on the matter amidst the propaganda, because the details of Xi’s rise feels very intriguing and interesting (specially if you dismiss the “great man” illusion and consider the masses of relationships shifting around inside the party)

On the phone with the french museum director: idk man, the label says Azcatitlan, doesn’t sound like fr*nch to me tbh. Maybe you sent your item somewhere else?

after a bird strike

Makes it sound like someone is using birds as projectiles

waging “information-psychological warfare on the Russian population” using local platforms.

How can anyone trust social media when shit like this is just said out loud

Also makes you wonder the actual use they will receive, specially the ones being planned in Argentina

Now the toilets won’t get clogged anymore, and the US can finally beat Iran!

But at what cost???

change of terms saved Nairobi $215 million annually

Ah! But they’re evil Asians though!

Good points

I’ve been thinking that the “no aggression against Lebanon” demand is not really a friendly/humanitarian exigence, like it keeps being suggested in these last megas.

The entity is never going to let this one pass, and thus no agreement is reached. Multiple countries are put into strain due to oil shortages, or even become military targets due to being vassals. This makes their survival and integrity mostly depend on cessation of the entity’s goals.

I think it’s a mechanism to turn the economic survival of multiple nations directly opposed to the entity’s expansion and colonialism. If the war goes on for longer because ceasefires keep getting violated, this would pressure the affected nations into taking some kind of action against the entity.

Now a question: why must they take Lebanon now? Why can’t they take a few months of building up and planning before resuming the aggression?

We’ll see american hegemonic discourse shift in real time into “it is actually better that Iran completely controls the strait!”

Is the world cup helping drain the reserves faster in america?

They hunt down proponents of fossil fuels and the executive boards of oil companies

“Don’t worry, we’ll deliver the nuclear material to america ourselves ☺️”
