Anyone who cheers for state repression on others should think about it twice. The axe might swing above you this time but next time, it could be you

People in compounds are getting abused, more news at 11

I'm in the same position as XHS regarding this situation. It sounds really convoluted as an explanation that sometime can be explained in more simple way, this is basically a sign that Saudi Arabia is not going to dedollarize and China is not willing to abandon export oriented economy. I think this is also expected from the "leader" of an non-ideological organization that is basically a complain bloc that put a fancy trade show time to time called BRICS

It also confirms that in the short\middle term China and the US is relatively ok with their current relationship all the saber rattling is just a way to force the other side to renegotiate their free trade conditions.

So similar to Georgia’s NGO bill

Moshe Dayan was also into that shit.

To the point that he hired grave robbers

The UK won ww2 so did France also but i think France is because Ussr asked to have it included because he thought degaulle can be a neutral actor iirc

The permanent members are basically the inherents of the league of nations since they won ww2, they have veto power because of that.

For your question regarding US can fuck up any resolution. Every permanent member can, but even when UN resolutions passes any members can technically say fuck it and do what they want (see the invasion of iraq)

No shit, but it's useless if there isn't going to be accountability for the party involved to propagate this shit

Also green left mayoress propping up Right Wing talking points

This is the dude who said that neoliberalism is good because eventually everyone will work in a cubicle and buy stuff online

I finally understand why Michael Hudson kept saying that China’s problems come from the fact that Vol. 3 is not taught in China.

Tbh, most people in China would study Marx just so they can graduate from high school and they give it back to your prof afterwards

Which is understandable, average people will never be able to reach high positions of power so they become sociology prof or do illegal labour organizing. Might as well take the easy path and become a business owner or find a well paid job.

He also said rather be a dictator than a f-slur iirc

It really does feel like he just picked people he saw on TV

The part about drugs being “chemical warfare” was really eye opening

Some people read the news to be informed but not all of them admit they read the news to read what they want to feel.

Tbh Bloomberg (and their podcast) does actually have good economic reporting if you know how to read critically between the lines

Search for palestine bookshelf’s video on Ilan pappe’s book “lobbying for zionism”. it reviews the financial interactions btw the US and Israel.

But the money-arm transfer should be understood in a bureaucratic way. The money is borrowed to Israel (since US aid has some legal issues attach to it that limit how it should be spent) as Israel pay weapon from the US government, the cash flows into the bureaucracy and each individual within the chain gets a cut.

An autocrat who manages to stay in power by swinging back and forth btw the west and Russia (got put to his place eventually) and by doing the populist thing of not completely slashing the welfare state. Not too different from Hungary tbh

Perfect match tbh

There would be probably some bipartisan weapon bills that send weapons to both israel and Ukraine.

The rhetoric would probably make some people feel good tho. As opposed to before which the rhetoric made another group of people feel good.

Because it’s vague as a concept so their messaging can also be vague

Chinese youths live in the shadow of the reform era. Their expectations is shaped by that era, their parent’s expectations for their children too. Their failure to reach that expectation is now turned onto a moral and personal failure because the whole country doesn’t understand the reform era was an exception in modern chinese history, not a feature

Tbh, the change in not putting student in the data can be explained by multiple reasons: the main one is that student are “in training” therefore not “seeking employment”. The other is to control the data for political reason. There is no shame really in doing that, most governments change definitions for their datas and most organizations have the conclusions they want to see in the sheet before gathering datas (for example insurance companies)
