99% sure she didn’t kill herself.

HAHAHA! That is excellent but I was thinking more like the Woman yelling at a cat meme.

I want to watch amercica during a nasty musk/trump breakup. That sounds like a really good time.

They just keep pretending that nobody is even thinking about tariffs. Like a reporter asking a Chinese spokesman if there are plans to lower Chinese tariffs gets a meaningless 10 minute platitude about “strengthening trade links with our partners through synergy” When american officials ask the Chinese officials they start talking about bring an end to the wars in ukraine and Palestine or removing sanctions on Cuba and DPRK.

I call bullshit. Theres is no way Putin is going to give up on territories that are part of russia by constitutional law. Reuters is reporting its dreams as fact.

If this isn’t just made up bullshit it is a trick to show the us that the zelensky regime is incapable of dropping its maximalist demands and being realistic even when Russia offers them a really good deal.

Counterrevolutionaries can eat shit! Burkina Faso has the anti colonial and class consciousness to foil any attempt to re-establish reactionary rule.

How I hope this goes: Trump says ok we are dropping the tariffs down to some arbitrary% and China says “We welcome this move by usa” but no mention of lowering their tarrifs.

Trump needs to be treated with the utmost disrespect because if he is angry he will probably just makes things worse for himself. I want to watch him play with tariffs like they are some sort of magic wand to fix things while the american economy bucks with every twitch of his wrist.

new? the next one will be just as old and withered as the last few. I’d hardly call that “new.”

What’s the bet the next pope is worse though? My money is on “zionist pope” That’s gotta be 50 to 1 odds.

Everything he does just makes him look like a scared little baby.

haha. If he didn’t before Trump sure looks like an idiot now. He didn’t think his plan through and tried to smash it into place all slipshod and now he is backing off and making concessions because he is hurting his own people.

He doesn’t want to look weak so he’ll keep the rhetoric about “harsh tariffs on China” and China will keep their tariffs on american goods in response while trump undermines himself sector by sector. We’ll end up with a situation where there is a 145% tariff on a half dozen things from China and China charges 125% on everything from america because trump cant take his foot out of his mouth.

Is this not like the most abusive thing ever tweeted?

“how can something be more than 100%?”

They are so fucking scared of Ansarallah. Yemen is only 5.5% the size of China and it has already been bombed for a decade. How many bombs could it take? If their stocks can’t deal with that tiny discrepancy they aren’t going to win a war with China.

hahaha. and I wasted a good amount of time on that too. :P

Communism is the dream of a classless society where everyone is equal and receives an equal share of their fruits of their labor. Socialism is the process of moving towards Communism.

Real wages when compared to rising costs of living in norway have been stagnant for over a decade. Home ownership rates are still rather high but they have been decreasing steadily since their peak in 2007. How is that the state keeping capitalism in check? Sounds like it is just losing ground slower than other countries.

How have things been going for the Sami in norway? Are the high-ish living standards in Norway being maintained in part by continue exploitation of the indigenous peoples? How is that keeping capitalism in check?

Social democracy is capitalism with a facelift. Stalin once said. “social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism.”

The fact is that under social democrats or liberal democrats the rights of the rich to maintain and expand their wealth are always prioritised over the rights of workers to get a fair share of the wealth they produce. This is because the rich are able to pay to have their voices heard while the workers have little to no excess wealth.

As for "how society would operate and function under socialism " It would be much the same as it is now only the government would work for the betterment of the masses instead of the betterment of the few. Look at how things are in China and that is how society is under socialism. The government has raised living standards and life expectancy at an insane rate, businesses are taxed significantly and the government has a say on their operations. Most importantly when a rich person or company breaks the law they are held to account, they don’t get a slap on the wrist or a “cost of doing business” fine.

Socialism is a process and each situation requires different steps at different times and a different system to get it there but the idea of democratic centralism is really important as it cuts down on the capitalists playing 2 sides off each other.

I don’t know why but that post title got me laughing pretty hard.

“Singapore? We can’t let a guy with a name like that defect to China! let’s deport him!” -some ice agent probably

It starts the story in April 2022. Its like a history of ww2 that starts with pearl harbor.

I cant wait till they sink a carrier.
