So he was 86 and decided the best use of the life he had left was to get martyted, I guess. Brave and sensible.

It quite literally is a process complaint. You can invade Iran but you need to dot your i’s and cross your t’s and file the right paperwork.

That’s not what Kaine is saying, though

I don’t think this is just a process critique. Calling to use the legal process to stop it is not the same as a process critique.

No idea what is going on here

Best way to put it is that metaphors are real and reality is metaphorical

I remember when it started, a key part of the business model was the users would do translation work to hone their skills and the app would get paid. AI ultimately destroyed all sides of the company.

More like when you got nukes, you get to have independent foreign policy

The use of color and shape in this series is pretty astounding

Caitlin Johnstone

She’s been extremely principled and anti-imperialist for her whole career. A true model journalist.

Death to America

the Arab world is Earth’s hinge. Free it and the planet moves quickly towards liberation.

True in almost all successful revolutionary situations

Is it conspiratorial to suggest NK isn’t exactly a ‘‘free’’ country with free speech? That it’s an authoritarian regime? I thought this was common knowledge.

The irony is that NK is known for its repression of its people.

What are you basing that on? I guess doesn’t quite cut it for me. I’ve never seen any evidence of the stuff you’re claiming. Where have you? How did you get this idea?

NK is the capital of some of the worst human rights abuses, torture, lack of transparency and free press in the world. It’s an authoritarian regime that controls its populace through fear and capital punishment.

What? These are wild claims. Where are you getting these ideas from? How many people are executed in North Korea as part of this so-called “authoritarian regime”? What human rights abuses, what torture? Crazy things to say about a country that’s also building 50,00 units of entirely free housing in its capital. That’s “goals” to me. Seems like the free housing would be a much more effective way to avoid rebellion than some cartoonish terror regime, don’t you think? I’m a socialist, so in my eyes you get a lot more societal stability from providing for people than repressing them, and that seems to fit all the images from the DPRK much better.

I mean it’s a state, I’m sure it’s done some bad and unjustifiable things, but to say it’s among the very worst in the world flies in the face of what I have seen. Just such an odd opinion, imo.

I don’t get what you’re saying, can you elaborate? I’m surprised to hear such a negative take on the DPRK given all they’ve achieved as outlined here. Feels like you’re very out of step with how the DPRK is understood in most of the world

Are any of these countries fragile enough for a mass uprising that topples their regimes if they get drawn into this war on behest of the empire?

In 2025, for the first time since the Great Depression, the US experienced negative net migration

Wow, that is truly unbelievable. That’s as end-of-an-era as it gets.

Post-USA revolutionary socialism will welcome workers from all over the world

Oil markets know what’s up

I don’t think anybody knows what’s going to happen with Iran.

If they pardon him, do they run him again? It’s a hell of a story and it worked for Lula.
