Hope it explodes and blows up his whole ass or something, I don't know how prostates works

Comparisions to bolsonaro came instantly but I'm sad to report that he's probably fine.

Now all Andre Ventura needs to do is post his own open belly with his guts out on twitter, just like Bolsonaro.

Who needs left adventurism when you have glasses of water performing A. Venturism

I mean eu libs have been talking about removing him for a while. Ironic since he used to be the darling freedom fighter against muh evul soviet of the west

This is the front page of the largest liberal news site:

"Good morning, Russia"

I wonder how many of the liberal news sites got money from the West, and this new law obviously puts them in a very difficult position...

Don't get me wrong, there's plenty that unrelentingly bleak but personally:

• Palestinians are still fighting and continuing the struggle.
• Good old fashioned solidarity from organising and protest
• Seeing even the small wins from providing support and effort like messages from people who managed to leave, get medical care, or purchase small solar panels etc (admittedly this is getting harder and less frequent)
• Seeing the tides turn in attitude to the conflict here in the UK and elsewhere...
• Even just in terms of ordinary, not overly political people I meet in the street/at the football/in the pub etc there's been a noticable move into the majority of people I talk to not only not buying Israel's bullshit, but also actual loathing for Israel and its obnoxious supporters in the media.
• Over the last week the vast majority of the newspapers here in the UK have suddenly noticed that Israel is full of shit and are now trying to put some distance between themselves and Israel, taking a more critical tack, and actually talking about Israel's plans with regard to concepts like ethnic cleansing. Don't get me wrong, it's entirely serve-serving and I absolutely do not have to give it to them after they cheerled a genocide for almost two years. But whether it's the talk of America backing off from the same level of Israel support, the fact that the British government actively broke even it's own pathetic arms license removal and is currently in court over breaking arms embargos, or just that they were happy to support the ruse of the 'war' but now Israel is moving into the 'final solution' stage they've got cold feet - the fact is there is less support for Israel here than any time over the last few years.
• That even though governments like here in the UK and Germany haven't relented on their support of Israel and their crackdown on its enemies and critics, continuing to do so is creating more and more unrest and unpopularity. There's absolutely a lot of controdictions heightening. Here in the UK too, more insidious details are getting leaked to the public too like the fact that our government and judiciary has been collaborating and communicating details of cases with Israel, perverting the course of justice and opening them up to counter-suits, mistrials etc whilst also undermining the government's law and order narrative regarding crushing political dissent.
• Israel's increasingly expansionist military moves in the region remind me of Aparthied South Africa's desperate attempt to defeat opposition from within by trying to disrupt, overthrow, and control its neighbours. A strategy that only has any hope of working so long as they have the unlimited backing of the US and other highly militarised states. Admittedly, Israel seems to be doing better at it than Aparthied South Africa did, but that kind of regional dependency for domestic stability is always going to be fragile at best and gets harder the more of a pariah state they become. On that point, here's a leaflet about opposing Aparthied South Africa's desperate expansionist wars from the time

Rip USSR

Vietnam is smaller so I can give them a pass, but China is clearly capable of destroying the Israeli economy.

What keeps y'all going wrt Palestine?

At this point, both Shit/Pissreal and the Burger Reich are exhibiting every single symptom that I know of of a dying empire grasping at straws. My hope is that Israel's settler colonial project unravels and possibly descends into civil war, with a Western bloc increasingly unable or unwilling to prop it up.

Ultimately and most importantly, though, if the Palestinians haven't given up yet then I sure as hell am not going to give up on them. Keep showing up to your weekly demos as best you can & donate where you can.

If I must die, you must live to tell my story to sell my things to buy a piece of cloth and some strings...

Nothing other than the small bits of evidence popping up every now and then showing that the Israelis are at least not literally immortal.

Otherwise I kind of just want to never wake up.

Also I just can't understand why Israel is so fucking important to damn near every country on Earth that they're looking past an actual fucking genocide going on. Why does everyone seem to love Israel so fucking much? Fucking shithole world and a shithole planet. Game was rigged from the start.

Just watched The Settlers documentary and hearing those ppl's ideology peppered with biblical prophecy was disturbing. A truly disgusting movement that needs to be stopped.

Spite, mainly. And agreed, it's been annoying at times to see some people here make excuses for China, in particular, with regards to trading with Israel.

I think on some level Americans know that AI will only be used to replace their jobs and increase profits for capital.

A bit of a tangent, but the funniest part to me is that nobody (important) in China gave a shit about DeepSeek until prestigious universities in the West like MIT talked about how much of an innovation it was.

Only then did the government realized “oh wow we have something good in our hands (approved by prestigious Western academics!)” and began to roll out this whole initiative about economic transformation with AI.

If the West hadn’t freaked out about DeepSeek, the paper would probably have passed unnoticed amidst hundreds of AI papers published every month, and the government most likely wouldn’t have given a damn thought about it.

This is a serious problem with the Chinese leadership and the elite class, to be honest. A lot of emphasis is being placed on whether Westerners approve of us or not.

And honestly this is nothing new. The same happened with the EV industry too. BYD began its EV production back in 2008 (same year as Tesla), and there had been some initiatives by the government to promote EV as early as 2009 with tax credits. But for the most part, nobody gave much of a damn about BYD or EVs as a whole.

Do you know why the Chinese government suddenly turned its attention to EV and decided to place a big bet on it?

It wasn’t BYD, it wasn’t any Chinese company. It was Elon Musk lol!

To understand this part, we need to go slightly back in time. By the early 2010s, a lot of internet companies in China had accumulated vast amount of capital, and they were looking for new avenues to invest in as their new business ventures. These are your typical techbro companies where their CEOs and employees alike worship Elon Musk.

Tesla delivered the first batch of Model S to Shanghai, China in 2014, to the first dozen of their owners - most of them CEOs from tech companies like Sina, Xiaomi etc. It was also Elon Musk’s first visit to China and was given enthusiastic reception as he passed over the keys to the new owners.

The Chinese leaders were so enamored with Elon Musk that it was in 2014, the EV industry was set to become a national project. They really believed that Elon Musk is some kind of a visionary genius that just showed them a vision of the future lol.

It is not at all controversial to say (I actually read this on Chinese internet) that “Elon Musk is the grandfather of Chinese EV industry.” You can even make the argument that Elon Musk arguably was one of the most important persons who defined the next national priority of the Chinese economy in the 2010s.

Immediately afterwards, at least 300 EV companies were registered in 2014-2015. A lot of them wouldn’t survive the take off, but the traction never stopped and by 2018, at least 500 EV companies existed in China! (Today, less than 50 survived, and it is estimated that the price war would cull off the rest of them to the last 5 or so).

Tesla became the only automobile company in China that is fully autonomous and did not have to partner up with a local company. It is no secret that the Shanghai Municipal government has a lot of affection for Elon Musk that they gave Tesla all kinds of benefits and tax exemptions.

In 2019, the Tesla Shanghai megafactory opened, boasting a “same year construction, same year production” achievement. This acted as a catalyst for the entire Chinese EV industry and it was then, starting in 2020, that the Chinese EV industry really took off, and would surpass Tesla itself in just a few years.

I guess the point I wanted to make is that these leaders really need to stop looking up to Westerners for their approval.

it's because they've seen new technologies sometimes get applied to help people instead of an unbroken litany of enhanced profit extraction

while the US was second to last in a 2024 survey

: "healthcare pls"

: Haven't you realize how humanity will be revolutionized you stinking luddite poors? Give it billions of more dollars.

: we will use this technology to advance to communism, if it doesn't work, well, we have 100 other things we're doing.

I have finally decoded their plan. They will make each election more insufferably cringe than the last, until lefists all just keel over out of incredulity and embarrassment.

Unfortunately, it might just work. Fiendish.

Sure why not. Run Kamala and Beto and all the other losers from the previous elections too while you’re at it. Nothing new under the sun

Man the 24/7 365 day per year campaign mode of The Burger Reich is utterly exhausting

The reason Obama won was because he talks good. And the reason Biden won was because he was friends with Obama. So we just need a candidate who either talks as well as or is friends with Obama...

When he loses the libs are gonna say it was because he was gay and what they really need next time is a straight white male

Pictures of urban destruction like we see in Gaza never communicates the overpowering stench of rotting corpses. There are thousands of people who were buried under rubble that haven't been included in any official death toll
