Unfortunately this is mainly a byproduct of a bunch of farmers all burning their fields at the same time. Happens every November in Delhi.

Sure, but that vote hasn’t actually done anything, and countries continue to trade with Russia. And the Global South countries haven’t curtailed their relations with Russia one whit.
It's almost like nations are motivated by self interest, and not some over-arching political polarization.....
They’re building an alternative system to SWIFT, they’re trading in each others’ currencies to avoid the dollar
The majority of countries utilizing CIPS isn't because they're trying to create a multipolar geopolitical future. It's because it's simply a good idea to diversify your reserve currency, especially if your currency is unstable. In all likelihood if the yuan is able to show long periods of stability, the global South will be operating within SWIFT and CIPS.
The BANCOR idea is just wishful thinking, no one is migrating back to some kind of gold standard anytime soon.
It's not inherently a problem to utilize human waste for fertilizer, so long as it's been processed correctly. They've been doing it for hundreds of years in East Asia by inoculating the waste with lactic acid bacteria.
From the article you posted it seems the American way to "process" the waste is to just dry it out.
Lol, I'm just happy you even believe in the idea of Kurds in general. I've known some Turks who just claim "those are just mountain Turks who have lost their language!".
That's the whole problem with trying to break down geopolitics into set polarized factions. It makes annotating history a bit easier, but it completely forgoes any nuance.
Yeap, I work in prosthetics and have to explain to "futurologist" on the internet that we're never going to see advanced prosthetics that are as functional as your original limbs partly for this reason.
Proprioception is important y'all!
I think that's probably giving him too much credit. He's not really a democratic politician, he's a fascist.
My bet is that he is constructing a loyalty test to weed out opposition within the ranks. Anyone who doesn't fully give into the cult of personality gets put on a list of people he can't trust.
He doesn't really care about gaetz, but gaetz has pissed off enough people within the party to act as a good tool to test the waters of his own party.
Ahh yes, engaging in harm reduction is the exact same as voting for genocide. I'm glad nuance is still alive and well in 2024.
"I don't like genocide, so I'm going to enable the president who enabled the genocide in the first place, and has promised to make it even worse."
You guys know the only reason Benny was confident enough to begin the ethnic cleansing was because Trump ended the nuclear agreement with Iran? And that the real goal of the Israeli state is to rope America into an all out war with Iran.
US foreign diplomacy is usually unanimously terrible, but the one issue they've actually differentiated with in the last few decades has been Iran.
Do you guys think it can't get worse for the Arab world, or are you too busy virtue signaling to engage in meaningful harm reduction?
I mean, joe bided and Harris are soulless liberal ghouls, but they aren't openly fascist. It's like I'm talking to people in the Weimar Republic abstaining from voting because of the Namibian genocide, and then having them say Bruning is the same as Hitler.
It's perfectly fine to condemn them for the genocide that's currently happening, but falsely equivocating them as exactly the same does nothing but take away options from the people who are actually in harms way.
No? What did I say that made you think I'm a trump supporter? I'm criticizing folks for celebrating harm coming to their fellow Americans.
Mostly it's the regurgitation of radical propaganda.......
No? I'm honestly not sure I understand your question about the civil war.
The civil war parallel was made because you are parroting propaganda that's been endemic in the South for the last 150 years. That the war wasn't about slavery, that the North just hated rural people's culture.
The parallel throws me off because the point I'm making is Dems are maybe not "just as racist" as Rs but the fact they're proving latinos were seen as pawns to be used when the Dems platform was basically everything Rs wanted while Trump was in office (minus family separations.
Ahh yes, because a minority of of internet strangers have some bad takes, the two parties are basically the same.........except for the little caveat of family separation and interment camps thing, and even though Trump's main campaign promise was to immediately deport everyone he can.....
There's certainly parallels to the civil war, the Northerners absolutely did not like it when free black American citizens first started to move there when fleeing terrorism I'm the South.
And how is that a parallel to modern times? Pretty sure there were sanctuary cities all over during Trump's first presidency.
That's how we got red-lining and the modern for-profit prison system.
You're talking about two separate times in history separated by a hundred years of lived history. After the civil war, before conservatives torpedos reconstruction, black Americans actually gained a lot of economic and political power. Redlining and the modern prison system were a reactionary response by conservatives to desegregation.
I am absolutely not doing what you're saying. Let me know how I came off that way. I'm trying to be as specific as possible here. People that are celebrating bad things happening to their fellow Americans. Stop. That's it. That is gross, to me.
You just so happen to be parroting several different pieces of propaganda used to falsely equivocate the both sides argument popular among accelerationists and radical conservatives...Interesting.
Our people didn't vote. Because of that we celebrate latinos being deported?
Who is our people?
Wish this could be a light conversation. This is truly not that serious. It's a chat on fuckin lemmy (imagine this place is huge one day. lol)
I wish we could just have a light conversation about the fascist said the German to the Jews......
It's almost like even tangentially supporting fascism isnt a light hearted conversation?
Yeap, I'm a product of an interracial marriage who is currently in an interracial marriage with someone who is openly bisexual, in the reddest state in America. I'm probably going to be pulling the rifles out of the attic for a good cleaning this weekend.
The real dirty truth is that Rashida Tlaib belongs to a 1500 year old delusional authoritarian cult of personality that spread across Arabia and the Mediterranean (Gaza included) by force of genocide, violence and cultural destruction, and that (not unlike evangelical Christians and orthodox Jews)
Lol, so we're equating all Muslims as violent genocidal cultists, but only evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews are problematic?
Muslims in America will always be loyal to their backwards, oppressive religion rather than to fundamental concepts like democracy, secular society, equality, and justice under the law.
And is that different to the vast majority of Christians and Jews? It's not evangelicals that ended roe v wade, just a couple trad Catholics. It's not the Orthodox Jews doing the genocide, just regular people.
There is no such thing as an anti-genocide Muslim, as the prophet Mohammad himself was nothing but a violent conqueror and killer of all who opposed his dogma
Lol, tell me you've never read the old testament without telling me you've never read the old testament.
Ask these hypocrites how it happened that Arab Muslims ended up living in Gaza in the first place...
"Arab muslims" is a modern cultural designation based on language and religion. Modern Palestinians hail from the same Semitic people as Jews, and have inhabited the levanth since the early bronze age. You are not only incredibly ill hearted, but also incredibly stupid.

Swift handles customer-initiated and institutional payments but excludes trade. Foreign currency reserves are mainly for trading between countries.
World systems theory is an abstract concept, that doesn't account for an anti imperialist movement. Just take it from Immanuel Wallerstein, the person who created it.
"There are today no socialist systems in the world-economy any more than there are feudal systems because there is only one world system. It is a world-economy and it is by definition capitalist in form"
By the theory you are utilizing, China is not an alternative to "the imperial core" it's trying to take the belt.
Lol, BANCOR was named after French for Bank Gold. It is a standardized monetary system for trade based on gold.
