    The chart is misleading. The UK celebrates Labour Day on May 1st. There is also another different holiday on that date though, Mayday. This does not stop Labour Day also being organised and celebrated across the country on that date though.

    This video kinda betrays their timeline a bit, they say they're in Syria because of CPC persecuting them, but the anti-extremism campaign in Xinjiang only started in 2014, and the Uyghur in that video says they've been operating in Syria since 2012.

    2014 was also the year that terrorist attacks peaked in China

  • Ex-defense chief suspected of plotting war with North Korea to justify martial law

    Kim Yong-hyun is said to have called for strikes on sites from which North Korea was launching trash balloons and sending drones over Pyongyang

    spoiler

    There are mounting suspicions that former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun intended to justify the declaration of martial law or a state of united defense by instigating a military conflict with North Korea by ordering strikes on the sites from which the North was launching trash-filled balloons and flying unmanned drones to Pyongyang.

    Democratic Party lawmaker Park Beom-kye revealed Monday that he received a tip-off from a military whistleblower that the unmanned drones North Korea claimed Seoul had sent to Pyongyang in October were indeed sent on orders of the South Korean military — more specifically, on the orders of the former defense minister.

    “The Defense Counterintelligence Command, formerly led by Yeo In-hyeong, yet another high school classmate of Kim’s, planned the specifics of the operation,” Park claimed, suggesting that it was “clear that this plan was conceived to offer a pretext for the invocation of martial law.”

    A reference document on the operation of martial law troops and a joint investigation headquarters issued in November under the orders of Yeo, made public by the Democratic Party on Sunday, show that the Defense Counterintelligence Command reviewed the possibility of the simultaneous declaration of martial law and united defense to execute military responses and control public order and security in the event of a crisis, such as armed conflict with North Korea.

    The document claimed that martial law and united defense could be declared simultaneously in the case of “enemy infiltration, provocation and domestic circumstances.”

    According to current law, martial law is to be declared “in time of war, incident or other equivalent national emergency,” while united defense — a way of consolidating the country’s defense elements under a unified command — should be declared to respond to the “enemy’s infiltration, provocation, or threat of infiltration or provocation.” Both must be declared by the president.

    Before publicizing the contents of the document, Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Ki-heon claimed to have received information on how, only one week prior to the declaration of martial law, Kim had ordered Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairperson Adm. Kim Myung-soo to “fire warning shots before striking launch sites of North Korea’s trash-filled balloons” if any such balloons were seen floating in South Korean skies.

    For that to happen, South Korean soldiers would have to attack North Korea’s southwestern Hwanghae region, where the trash balloons are being sent from, which could easily escalate into a limited war.

    In response, the Joint Chiefs of Staff denied allegations about such orders on Saturday, claiming that “no orders intending to escalate conflict took place.” However, it did not deny the discussions on targeting launch sites, saying, “The military conducts discussions on various operational situations from time to time.”

    According to military officials, Kim Yong-hyun expressed a desire to strike the launch sites of North Korea’s trash balloons, but Kim Myung-soo responded by saying that such a move would be inconsistent with the current response policy, which stipulates that such strikes should only take place in case of tangible harm.

    In September, as trash-filled balloons continued to cross the border, the Joint Chiefs had said that the South Korean military would take “decisive military action if it was determined that serious damage to our national security has occurred or if North Korea crosses a line.”

    The Joint Chiefs said they were unable to confirm information in response to questions concerning the unmanned drones supposedly flown into Pyongyang.

  • His beliefs seem simple. Parasites are harming people. They're causing horrific healthcare experiences, which he had first hand. Nothing will change without taking matters into own hands. Class war should be waged against them.

    These beliefs are fine and they are the only relevant beliefs to why he carried this out as far as we can tell.


  • When someone says "Do you support Luigi?" it depends on context. Are they saying the shooting and his reasons for doing so? Then yes, uncritically (anti-adventurists will argue about that). His brainworms? No. Those can be separated though, the brainworms aren't related to the act, all that matters here is that someone had a horrendous experience with healthcare, recognises nothing will change without waging class war for it, and went out and committed an act of class war on the side of the proletariat.

    but it's never going to lead to systemic change

    I think if it happened enough you'd get either gun control or healthcare. Assuming people are doing it with homemade weapons then it'd have to be a healthcare reform solution but I'd guess they'd try gun control first (then someone gets shot over it and they realise they can't).

    Not system change though, you're correct there.

    His family deaths and his own surgery give him a personal experience with the insurance issues that have probably driven this. I can see "the feds are good" and "I despise and want to kill health insurance CEOs" co-existing if you haven't read other theory. The main principle of his radicalisation is his lived experience, not books, so he has all the brain worms but the material conditions have still driven him to this.

    The dude might be brainwormed but he carried out an action of class war and his stated reasons are literally class war.

    He's our guy. I don't care whether people found some history of him being suckered into right wing culture war bullshit. Yeah and? The entire working class is deliberately divided along those lines to prevent people from uniting behind this shit.

    If you're waging class war you're on my fucking team, the rest of the shit can be sorted out. Hitlerites can fuck off because they're not waging class war for the proles they're waging it for the protection of the bourgeoisie. But this dude is not a Hitlerite.

    1. I'm not american.

    2. "You may as well ask me to fight for the soul of this soulless nation next to a fucking klansman" yeah, that's what a lot of Iranians say also say when I talk to them too. In fact, I've seen this statement from an Iranian verbatim before.
