They should do a follow-up “analysis” where

(1) Capitalism is more advanced in isn’trael compared to West Bank or Gaza

(2) The isntreal working class is therefore more advanced than the Palestinian masses

(3) The hope therefore rests in the mass proletarian uprising of the isntreal working class, which we are sure is happening any day now.

(4) Hamas attack hinders isntreal working class from achieving this consciousness.

(5) Hamas bad. We condemn Hamas. Q.E.D.

now whenever I see footages like this I CANNOT HELP BUT ASK: what’s gonna happen to their sperm?!

Dealing with Newsom probably does not involve having to witness elderly abuse …

The collapse of the Qing Empire - it is because of the gold mines of San Francisco that in Chinese it is called Jiu Jinshan 旧金山 - Old Gold Mountains.

Where is the supposed hint? This lump of words is not even a full sentence lmao … Is the idea that the old gold mountains caused the Qing’s collapse?

When will anglophone news sources learn not to refer to Chinese persons by their given names lmao. It’s so flirtatiously endearing to refer to Wang Yi as Yi — or to Xi as Jinping ~~~~~

Wait so … this is literally G7 minus Japan, who apparently can’t be included in the Zionism support fest?

What kind of white power meeting is this lmao.

my conspiracy brain tells me it’s not actually aimed at average western readers. During this round of real estate downturn (which started in 2020) there’s been some concerted effort both inside and outside china in the business/finance journalism to force the gov to pump out massive amounts of cash and bail out those loser-financiers (perhaps à la USA in oct 2008?). Instead, not only is the gov reluctant to do so, but they’ve also done the appallingly unthinkable of jailing many CEOs and board members (the gov has also, to my limited understanding of macroeconomics, refused to let those real estate firms declare bankruptcy before they actually finish those construction projects for which people have already paid the deposits and taken on loans). Anyway, there’s probably a rather materially cynical reason for all this clamor of “Xi’s intentionally letting the economy go bust”

reminds me of how the first National Assembly of the “democratically governed” “Taiwan” lasted from 1947 to 1991

When you try to sound like an intellectual but don’t even know how to write

I read it and I don’t have anything smart or rational to say, other than how tired I am of this one particular assumption palpable in the way many Western lefties think (including this piece, I feel): “y’all in the third world need to catch up with us — that is, become Western/modern AND THEN, ONLY THEN can we start building solidarity to takedown capitalism.” It seems really difficult for many on the Western left (whatever that definition is) to imagine solidarity NOT on the terms of their Eurocentric history and experiences. /rant.

Lmao I’m glad i’m not the only one who loves to troll the lib yanks this way.

ancient Chinese heaven didn’t take nukes into account

It looks like the US hegemony is getting only stronger, not weaker, no matter what it does.
