Freedom is a synthetic enterprise, not a natural gift

Glory to the ghosts of us

Is anyone for real going to federate with them? This is such a dumb move, who would think they care about this? It is a fucking oxymoron, how do they think they are going to make money with this? Jesus, capitalism is truly in autopilot mode at this stage.

Edit:

Meta is talking to celebrities like Oprah and the Dalai Lama about being early users.

WTF, how do they think it's a good idea to ask the fucking monarchist paedophile who just recently was discovered licking a fucking child a good idea? Facebook can't die fast enough.

Decent countries. What a slippery slope for supremacist thoughts.

Saying "decent countries" clearly has a perverse slip within the thought, the idea of a collective I in the our countries and an objectifying negation of the I in the other group. Basically good ol' civilisation and barbarians. The same rhetoric you and your people have been using to oppress me and my third world brothers and sisters all around the world. You really think you need to do the missionary work of educating the beasts, don't you?

China doesn't say nothing happened, what they say is that counter revolution happened, and it was effectively suppressed. Why would you let someone celebrate the equivalent of an extremist movement?

Yeah, like Julian Assange? Who's that guy? No idea. Oh, maybe you meant Chelsea Manning, ah, no, also don't know who's that one.

The main purpose of nuclear weapons is nuclear deterrence, not launching them. Belarus being next to NATO's occupying forces makes it a highly likely target for a NATO invasion, this secures some stability in the region from Russia's perspective.

It's something the US has basically enforced, it's their excuse to things like military bases in Okinawa, which goes against Japan's ideas of not having an army (even though the JSDF has broken this promise of sorts). More military spending it's not going to bring any good to anyone, specially coming from Europe and its record, specially the Brits.

You must have experience with that, it's what you've been doing for the last 200 years.

I’m not saying there can’t be news about China, what I’m saying, and I’ve seen this a multitude of times, is that there is something that Usonians and Europeans do a lot, is that they post news about their countries as if they would be the world. In my book “World News” means something the entire world should care about, not just the Anglosphere and Europe, the description seems just a silly thing to put as a placeholder, at least that’s how it has always worked in this community, news that the entire world cares about. It is a good rule that something global would involve at least 2 countries, or some event that it is really worth mentioning, like a natural disaster in some country, etc.

I think he thought was going to get support from Russia's military and he didn't, so this is the best he can get without getting him getting MIA'ed.

It wasn't a massacre of peaceful students, but a skirmish between PLA soldiers and armed detachments from the pro-capitalist / free market reform movement. The protest movement, as evidenced by their own accounts, called for market liberalisation, and free market reforms, rallying around a replica of the statue of liberty. After the movement had been building in the square for seven weeks, unarmed soldiers were sent in to disperse the protesters, after which many soldiers were beaten to death, torched, and lynched. The New York Times death count went from 2600, to many thousands, to 8000, to tens of thousands. In reality only around ~200 (including soldiers) were killed or trampled, in smaller clashes outside the square. The on-scene New York Times reporter disavowed the article, especially about machine-gunning of protesters. A wikileaks cable from a US ambassador to the US state department, confirmed that no killings or machine-gunnings took place in the square.


Well, one could say it doesn't make sense to let people rally nowadays for this, since there's probably counter intelligence funding that's propelling the massification of this news and so on, so why would you let some people go and complain that you suppressed a US coup d'Etat attempt?

If you are communicating your thoughts in an incorrect way, ChatGPT is going to give you replies to things you are not asking. You are not "disagreeing", assuming I know where you go with this, you are denying one's personality which because you consider it not valid, which is essentially discrimination, since you are not one to decide what other person is. Disagreeing is saying that I like coffee and you saying it tastes like muddy water, not that certain quality of my being isn't true or valid.

China didn't have anti protest gear at that time, that's why they took tanks over there, there weren't any of those trucks that shoot water and the like, basically what they had where guns and the military since the police wasn't that well equipped. And as I said in me previous comment, they do acknowledge it, as a counterrevolutionary movement that must be stopped. Think about it in the same way that how the US handled the Black Panthers, they were basically risking the status quo (the bourgeoisie staying in power) and they effectively suppress them through different means.

It is a double edged sword. On the one side it's the neoliberal agenda coming from Washington telling its European lackeys "Don't spend on the people, spend on the military to keep funding the military-industrial complex" and on the other hand it's material reality showing itself of a debilitated Europe who has accustomed to get its fair share through colonialist and extractionists policies enforced by the bigger player, the US, and now has end up without neither a strong military nor economical presence in the global sphere.
