This appears to have the potential to be abused (if not already) as one of Westerners’ favourite tropes: animals > humans of the Global South, ie reactionary veganism.
Environmentalism without class struggle is gardening - Chico Mendes
Having said that, the future is vegan. Or at least petri-dish grown meat and dairy.
We discover Robin Hood is an ex-crusader whose kurdish wife and daughter were killed to punish him after he switched sides, and became a double-agent working for Saladin to avenge his family; he went against King John so that he could subsequently become close to King Richard, the real target.
Unfortunately, some of the people he helped were frothing English chauvinists and turned him in. King Richard, however, sensing potential local anti-monarchial uprising as he was not convinced he could keep all the serfs in line given the promise of better material conditions with wealth re-distribution which risked destablising feudal relations, so helped seal the deal with a quiet assassination of Hood and asked the historians to re-write history to what we know of it now.

Nevermind just saw Octoracy’s comment.
The vestiges of concessions afforded to Western proleteriat following the October revolution:

Every westerner who privilege from their domestic welfare state and labour laws have the USSR to thank.

Just saw @PolandIsAStateOfMind comment. I’ll leave the comment here for Malone’s awesome article.
The rest of your rant is a complete non sequitur.
Translation: I’m too racist to make the effort to understand why.

Wanting the same outcome as Trump but upset about his method ain’t the potent anti-imperialist take you think it is.
You’re talking about a country under sanctions, coup attampts and hybrid wars under the US, the most murderous regime known to mankind, and you judge it by the supposed metrics of those not under the yoke of imperialism. Don’t you realise how bigoted you sound? Educate yourself.
If you say you’re against imperialism but condemn those who fight it you’re just racist as all those fascist bigots; they’re just more honest.

How very White of you.
I wonder if there’s any evidence what will convince you. By this point if you know you have been lied about every war since WWII but still decide to believe narratives of the US empire against its designated enemies you ain’t brainwashed; just bootlickingly racist.
I mean you could make a choice to investigate today why what you said was murderously bigoted but chances are high you won’t.
I wonder why.
The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox. - Malcolm X
You have 4.5 million in children in poverty, torture and imprison those against British war crimes, have successive governments arm, fund and give political cover to an ongoing genocide. Either you don’t live in a democracy of the masses or you do and the people are culpable of its state’s war crimes. Maybe go hoist a genocidal flag up a street lamp to maintain that national self esteem while people can’t pay for heating, food or see their GP. Must be all those immigrants’ fault that prop up what remains of your NHS or the asylum seekers who flee your country’s destruction abroad (sanctions, wars, coups, IMF economic racketeering etc).
Remember, the workers’ of the Global South don’t depend on you, you depend on them. And that tap of superexploitation is slowly turning off which is why your cost of living is going through the roof. Until you truly reckon with what it means to be a Westerner, what that class means on the global stage, whaf that parasitic relationship with the rest of the world, you will always be the fascism enabler that you nominially claim to be against.

Funnily enough, this also makes it hard for me to fully buy into materialism because how the fuck did i escape it…

Do you reckon? Are they heavily invested in American AI or is it more like domino effect of collapsing stock market bubbles (or something else eg the US will milk SK for all its worth to prop up its own GDP)?

I would question whether a “badly” painted piece by a human would be able to do the same.
Thanks for the share and looks like an interesting read especially given since I have understood how Marx stood apart from the “socialists” of his time (and I would argue even now with the likes of Varoufakis) that he was interested more in the differences between capitalism and the previous modes of production and with that I have been wary of the timelessness of ideologies.
In the same way India will eventually become number 2 it feels inevitable given enough time the reunification of Korea. Being Samsung’s labour pool and a US pitstop is only going to get you so far.
It’s a strange country. An anathema to humanity.
These tendancies takes on a different flavour when children (who can’t consent) become affected.
Interesting article!
“Taken together, these findings demonstrate the inherent plasticity of cellular systems and challenge the idea that cells and organisms can evolve only in predetermined ways,” wrote microbiologist Peter Noble and bioinformatics researcher Alex Pozhitkov in an article for The Conversation. “The third state suggests that organismal death may play a significant role in how life transforms over time.”
Dialectics, our old friend. You have to wonder how much quicker scientific progress would have been if didn’t have to battle positivism endemic to academia.
Only liberalism could produce such degenerate, backwards, anti-scientific, anti-intellectual cultures despite modern access to knowledge in such a wealthy nation.
Do liberals really believe in the ‘separation of the state and the church(religious institution)’? A lot of them are very sympathetic to Theocracies, e.g. The Vatican City, Tibet etc.
As long as there is a dictatorship of capital.
If one had to write an article to make Maduro look bad but had to re-purpose what is seen at as an initial crass rationalisation of invasion and kidnapping then this what it would look like. It is the Wikipedia synthesis of desparately trying to keep on the mask of pseudo-civility that is Western Imperialism. It is literally Trump=bad because he didn’t do it the “right way”.
Appears to be parallels of "it’s not genocide genocide then at least a “cultural genocide”. Ie Cartel de los Soles can become whatever the fuck they want it to mean.
