If only they shared that opinion gosh

Yes you did

Np i just wish people were more critical of all these alt media outlets and random shows. I've never met a single person who listens to them who actually wants to hear any criticism. Because, for me, not questioning what I'm listening to makes it way less interesting and active.

This is what your little Sephiroth speeches about the Mordor Instances sound like outside of your patchy noggin btw

Let's just say that Arslan Hiyadat was very impolite to me and the way to a man's heart is through his stomach

Honestly they're leaving money on the table by not doing this. They have a horde of mindless whales that are physically unable to stop themselves from buying the Golden LaSnooSnoo and posting about making it "moon", the place is crypto bro idiot headquarters

I have spoken to Uyghurs in Xinjiang and I have engaged on Xitter with their government-in-exile in Washington D.C. and I know who I stand with on this issue. I hope to see Xinjiang with my own eyes someday soon. The Taklamayan Desert is too captivating, even in pictures. I must hold its grains in my hand. Soon. The sands are calling @balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one. The sands are calling.

I don't really want to open this can of worms while this community is figuring out what to do over the reddit ban, but realistically I cannot resist and am already trying to remember to make two controversial posts on Lemmy, like explaining why everyone is dumb for thinking Luigi iced healthcare man (WHO HAD A FAMILY 😡), so I'll just throw this out and you can make of it what you will.

The Deprogram hosted Konstantin Syomin, who is a seriously shady figure with dicey connections, and RevLeft hosted a Ukrainian socialist from an obscure party Zelensky didn't purge, who flat out condemned the republics' resistance against ethnic cleansing and torture (not that he mentioned it of course), without even mentioning the purges of his fellow Ukrainian communists, who I suppose must have been saboteurs. I know a lot of western socialists think that hard opposition to Ukraine's front against the republics and now Russia at large was reverse-engineering from nostalgia, and perhaps Freudian obsession with strong foreign leaders (Iraq War demsuccery all over again, or so I've heard). However the actual basis for antiimperialist support for the SMO is in writers like Istavan Meszaros and Samir Amin that advocate breaking dependency on the imperial core. Solidnet parties like the CPUSA and the KKE barely whisper about these positions and you cannot find them at your local library, unlike MMT freakazoids like Michael Hudson (EDIT: or Yanis Varoufakis (can't forget mr "fictitious capital is a new mode of production just like tech bozos claim")).

Did you get any of that or are you nervous that I'm already trying to take away your Good Podcasts? Don't get me wrong I still listen to many of those as well, Radio War Nerd, etcerera, because there are slim pickings, it's just that I listen much more critically after they have repeatedly thrown NAFO tier guests at me and lied about Xinjiang etc. Man I hate speaking English. Everything is so annoying to listen to.

It's just very funny to see S4A next to Actually Existing Socialism which IIRC has hosted Gabriel Rockhill 😂 if you take recommendations from randoms online, please save yourself the grief and go directly to Critical Theory Workshop. (Chemical Mind's edits are actually very manipulative, as bad as Midwestern Marx, they're trying to use Rockhill's words to undermine his ideas... but I didn't even check if you know who that is, just a disclaimer that I have seen nobody good edit down the hours of material.) If you like AES pod, take advantage of the CTW guys posting full course lectures online for free.

You'd be surprised how valuable these technologies can be when they're not only being developed to create new financialized services to overcharge people for. Manufacturing and shipping has huge capital and logistic buffers created by information gaps, production shortfalls, fraud, etcetera, and cryptographic ledgers are excellent for ensuring accurate production and inventory information is relayed to clients in realtime. What's more, it has the potential to mediate international transactions without relying on Swift or global banking institutions that are an extension of US authority.

Notice how nothing I said was about fucking NFTs. The western financial system completely lost the plot doing super cocaine and became convinced they could just ask the rest of the world to stay slaves forever. They don't even care about its potential! They want TrumpCoin.

You clearly don't understand how organizational hierarchies work. In his position as ambassador he has zero leverage on military strategy, as he did in his military position. Why do you think he was removed from decisionmaking and the country itself?
