Under this deal, Putin gets to annex key territories while Ukraine is kept out of NATO and left without American peacekeepers, forcing Europe to buy U.S. military gear. Imperialist powers divide and weaken working people by keeping nations in chaos and under constant threat. This brief period of "peace" isn't for long as capitalist interests allow Russia to regroup and rearm. Ukraine remains in a disordered, free-for-all state under imperialist influences. In time, this setup could let Russia launch an invasion through Odessa to connect with Transnistria.

Sad and yet not surprising as the external influence achieved the shift to the right

Their systems are slightly different so a local Luigi copycat would target someone else than an insurance CEO

We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office

And the masks came off

Edit; let's amend (profoundly as wished) if that helps someone missing the context

The spectacle of TikTok pledging allegiance to Trump in the face of its ban is a stark revelation of the deeper alignment between authoritarian state-capitalism and reactionary forces within global capitalism. TikTok, a tool of China’s soft power, has long operated as an instrument of the CCP’s technocratic and market-driven strategy. Trump, a figurehead of American neo-fascism, represents the extreme contradictions of bourgeois politics in crisis, wielding populist rhetoric to consolidate power. Their sudden alignment is not an aberration but a crystallization of mutual interests: TikTok secures its foothold in the US market, while Trump uses the platform’s return to bolster his populist image and project dominance over a fragmented capitalist class.

This moment unearths a truth Marxist theory has long emphasized: in times of crisis, capital will shed its ideological pretenses and unite across borders to secure its survival. TikTok’s deference to Trump is a mask-off moment for both Chinese state-capitalism and the American far-right. It reveals their shared hostility to the potential of an organized, class-conscious proletariat, particularly among the app’s young, progressive user base. The CCP and Trumpism alike aim to neutralize this energy, diverting it into consumerism or reactionary politics. In this, we see the machinery of global capital—state-guided or otherwise—aligning against the revolutionary potential of the masses, reaffirming the urgency of a unified proletarian struggle against the forces of oppression.

Shared to an IM group from somewhere and reshared here. What I understood is it seems to be pretty open when asked how it comes to its answers

He killed loyal communists, many falsely accused of treason, and became the poster boy of the Red Scare, providing anti-communists with propaganda to equate socialism with totalitarianism. His oppressive policies, human rights abuses, and betrayal of socialist principles alienated global leftist movements and set back the progress of socialism by decades.

Europe had a view in the 90s–00s that trade can be a vehicle for enforcing peace. That plus capitalist greed let Russia invade Georgia and Crimea before that view changed overnight too late. Similarly countries turn a blind eye on what China is doing

It's for collecting phone number, network cell data etc. It's basically the most sensitive permission and usually not needed for apps to request.

If an app only needs a phone number, it can ask it with user input instead.

Lib is an American capitalist culture war word like woke. It's a Schrödinger term. Capitalists both claim they're libs without actually promoting any freedoms, but also libs are commies/sjws and the source of all moral decay because a strong boot on the neck is preferred. And then both of the variations keep repeated ad nauseam doing the capitalist bidding so who the fuck knows anymore.
