Ah yes communists, the group famously concerned not with class, production or materialism but rather specifically with American identity politics

Its never a good sign when Victoria Nuland is in your country

Imagine being privileged enough in life that you think “authority” is something that can just be cast aside or ignored.

Said by individual who I would bet €100 couldn’t explain even the basics of how PRC government or democratic process is structured

The implication that this is something anyone should care about or even take notice of seems astoundingly racist

Lmao so much has happened in the past ~18 months that I completely forgot this happened until now

I’ve been browsing lemmygrad near daily for over a year now and had never clicked the All button lol there is a whole lot going on out there, fediverse is pretty cool

My counterpoint to this is I genuinely do not have time or energy to organize or get too involved with party activities like study groups and protests right now. I've been in contact with my local group but like they do everything on saturdays and I almost always have to work 14 hour days then. As soon as my schedule improves I intend to get more involved.

Point being I don't disagree but also life does get in the way, everyone's circumstances are different.

This is one of the most hilarious things I've seen all year. Also one of the most infuriating, as its such a shockingly poor work of "research". Imagine being an apparently legitimate professor who takes themselves seriously and putting your name on this, even as a grift this should be embarrassing.

that aside there are so many choice bits in here, true comedic genius

Homosexuality can’t be banned in China cause I once drunkenly made out with a guy at a club in guangzhou so checkmate

How could you say they aren’t moving towards economic integration when bilateral trade between member nations has increased significantly in the past decade ? That’s not even to mention the increasing amount of trade being settled in local currencies and the creation of the NDB in 2014.

Sounds like you might not know what you’re talking about but idk

He just like me fr

My heart goes out to the brave freedom fighters, this is a major step in the liberation of Palestine. I wish them all the best

Reuter’s headline I just read: Why the missing sub is capturing the world’s attention

I’ve reached my limit for head trauma today so I didn’t open it but id imagine it has something to do with the fact that the media will not shut the fuck up about it

That is the look of a man who doesn't give a god damn fuck what any westerner thinks of him and is also about to enjoy a second cup of tea, respect

Chinese food is so good and diverse. I had this spicy white fish dish once in Guangdong that was just incredible, I think about it often lol, can’t remember what it was called

That being said there is something about american chinese food that makes me crave it from time to time (probably all the salt and sugar)

The absolute best thing about this board is the insight from intelligent and devoted comrades around the world. I greatly appreciate your perspective on this as a westerner, and I am eager to learn more about Brazilian politics. The fog of war in media here makes it difficult to understand the reality on the ground and often times very complex political situations in very diverse countries like Brazil are approached in reductionist ways due to this, and I of course include myself in this.

I’m sure many here would love to know more about your experiences and thoughts on the political landscape of the country, so thank you for your great contribution !

My man hitting the lines a little bit early in the morning I feel like you gotta wait until at least noon

I’ve got the second one now and I still can’t afford fresh oranges usually smh

I still think all the time about your description of baltic states + poland as “the stupidity belt”, just so so succinct
