Why does the average person think the division in philosophy is between idealism and "realism" ? Its like they materialism has been mandela effect'd.

I mean i can imagine it is because materialism leads to marxism.

Got a message from the Dutch railroad company gaslighting about the strike, saying it is their duty to keep The Netherlands available to everyone for a good price.

It's literally cheaper to fly from my home town to Ibiza and from Ibiza to Amsterdam than it is to take the 1.5 hour train if I plan far enough in advance.

news megathread be like:

"China why wont you nuke your entire soft-power to stop the overstretch of the American regime when it's gonna do what it does regardless?"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Demanding the PLA to go marching to Iran's aid of course would be silly but it's clear Iran is suffering a severe deficit in their air defense and are very much in a vulnerable position if no one steps to help them in that area at least. It's not going to stretch the US empire all that much if they decide to simply start wrecking havoc on Iran with B2 bombers. I don't think anyone who doesn't already hate China is going to be upset if they start sending Iran Pakistan level military aid.

They're most likely giving them everything they can plus intelligence support. Exposing that to the public or diplomatically threatens a significant chunk of soft-power they can continue to use.

China is already helping Iran under the table. There are supply lines from China to Iran. There's also a big player helping Iran with electronic warfare and satellite intelligence. It could be China or Russia.

I just ordered from Amazon, and could feel a bit of my integrity disappear.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, package literally just arrived at lunch today. Rat's ass company.

Although I'm wondering what the guy putting the order together was thinking when he had to collect Governance of China IV, People's China at 75 and The Wumao Handbook and place them into one box. (If not done by a machine.)

Glad to see this community taking the principled anti-imperialist stand here (as we did on Russia's intervention in the Ukraine). The mainstream internet is full of the worst Zionist shitlibbery.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I don't think so, I think most of the pro-zionist buzz you're seeing is consent manufacturing. Noone sane wants war, and most people are sane.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Death to zionism. Death to america. Death to white supremacy.

I am glad we can be your refuge from the rest of the internet

Don't have much to say about Iran cause fog of war and not knowing much about what's going on and all. But damn, it is hard not to have some anxiety about it. May this be a turning point for liberation from the colonizer in the region. 🙏

I've seen a disturbing amount of anti-AES rhetoric lately, particularly on the bear site.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

So they had months long struggle sessions and banned tons of long time users, made an open call to bluesky libs and told their users to be nice to them, now they are letting libs walk all over the left unity policy and shit on AES. Is anyone still questioning if hexbear got taken over by feds?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As in an increase on anarchism? that would not particlularly suprise me for right about now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Its been a variety of lib/ultra/anarcho-Bidenist takes. We should hold space for criticism (aka critical support) but this doesn't seem to be that. More just reddit-tier bad faith garbage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I've noticed that from some people on hexbear too recently. I'll always be like wait hexbear? Not .world? It caught me off guard a couple times.

Same old same old

Sending US troops to go fight Iran because the Israeli's started a war is probably the only thing that would actually turn public opinion against Israel past the point of no return. Which is why they're trying to be as subtle as possible with the phrasing of "moving troops closer to the border to assist."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

there was a report from Cuba that said Majority US american opinion was opposed to Israel after their unprompted attack. So I think the fear they have is that this might make it pass the tipping point, and also Vitnam style anti-war protests

Do you have the source?

I never thought I will see someone so based being interviewed in an Iranian news media

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Several good marxists, actually. Pretty rad for state TV

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I went to the dentist this morning (boo! Tomato! Tomato!) and the TV was playing a news network called “the 700 club” also known as CBN. I had never heard of it before and was subjected to the most egregious, disgusting, Zionist propaganda I have ever seen on TV. The male host was interviewing the Israeli ambassador to the US and wow, just shitting on Iran over and over while talking up the morality of the IOF. With that comes white supremacist nonsense as well. It was like watching Piers Morgan tbh. I was also unable to change the channel so I just sat there like I was being tortured lol.

Edit: I also stumbled across this TikTok which I feel is very relevant to this discussion thread.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

700 Club is classic White evangelical Christian slop. Sorry you went through that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Any Christian program is a slop too. They're here to brainwash everyone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

True, but I think 700 Club is probably the worst. Then again, I'm not that adventurous to experiment with the rest.

I have a vivid recollection of being a kid and flipping the TV to 700 Club out of boredom and that old crypt keeper fuck (who I hope is now dead) was talking about how Asian martial arts are satanic because they have breathing techniques where they literally take deep breaths and inhale demons to become stronger. 6 year old anarchoilluminati immediately identified this as bullshit.

Somebody just got their throat slid on a bus in my city and died. Sometimes I wonder why I bother living in a city.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Wow
