oh, their relation with their satraps…

i remember a pic of an arse-faced woman showing the monthly ration provided to her by the state in poland, as if saying “look at this misery”. probably the pic was shot in the early 80s. when i first saw that the first thing that came to my mind is that, in northeastern brazil (my home region), around the same time, about 1.5 million people died of starvation and malnutrition during the drought of 1977-83, and many would literally give an arm or a leg for that ration.

it’s white identitarism.

done!

since the end of ww2 the two major coup d’états in brazil happened with direct support of the department of state and the cia under dem administration (johnson was in power in 64 and obama, with hillary clinton in charge of the department of state, in 2016). we’ve got a story or two to tell about them. if the regular lib doesn’t care about that, then the most natural thing for us is to consider both parties equally harmful and don’t give a damn over internal issues of the us and a.

rkj wants to make it great in america again.

that’s a bathroom from a “cozy 10m² studio in a fashionable são paulo neighbourhood. yours for 1000 usd per month”.

i wasn’t born back then, but i remember watching a punky brewster episode rerun when i was a kid that was about it. probably the first time i heard about the challenger disaster.

we have a concept for that in brazilian portuguese. it’s called “gambiarra”.

i’m concluding an associate level course of system analysis and i’m glad that right now i don’t rely on it to eat and pay the bills, having a regular job on my previous bachelor’s degree. by the end of the course the college was pushing so hard on knowledge we didn’t (and they didn’t passed on properly) had that i and others had to rely on vibe coding. now that i’m about to pick up my diploma, i’m gonna focus on learning real computer science without the pressure of grades and perhaps have a better chance if i have to apply for an IT job.

funny enough he’s hated by both anarchists (because of makhno) and stalinists (because reasons).

missed him on the meme.

is this some falun gong sh*t?

and proselitizing. don’t forget proselitizing. if possible go to squares and city centers, perhaps with a small table or tent, lots of pamphlets and some good will to explain.

to most modern “leftists” olof palme would be a tankie.

Most of them are 3rd world countries because of these movements…

with perhaps the exception of south korea and with some good will taiwan, not a single capitalist country reached the so called “developed” status coming from underdeveloped. all of those who did received a downpour of american taxpayer money.

let’s just forget for a second what he did or not in epstein’s island, being a billionaire is bad wether the person is an asshole or not. it means we live in a socio-economic system that enables someone to concentrate an insane amount of resources and decide solely out of his mind how to direct the spending of those resources. that they are not being used entirely to solve global warming or world hunger or disease issues is problematic and it’s not some token value spent on charity or point-based solutions that is going to change that. the fact that he doesn’t want to break the patents of covid vaccines is pretty much an example that, when pressed hard enough, he will act on the interest of his class, regardless of what he personally thinks.

the fact that he associated with epstein, independently of his reasons, is just the cherry on top of that shit sundae.

did you just noticed that you are literally defending that it’s ok for someone to go to a secret posh brothel which happens to have underage children as sex workers? that this isn’t a character statement on someone?

billionaires shouldn’t exist in the first place. there’s no way such amount of resources is going to efficiently be used by one single person.

many of the most emblematic coup d’états were sponsored by dems in power. brazil in 64 and 2016, bay of pigs invasion in cuba in 61, south vietnam in 63, greece in 67, dominican republic in 63 and 65, argentina in 66, bolivia in 79, south korea in 61 and 79, honduras in 2009, paraguay in 2012…
