But does North Korea have foreign funded political parties? No? That’s right, authoritarianism akshually

Rare W for Hungary.

I can’t believe the EU settled on $90 bn from private banks to lend to Ukraine, basically putting all EU citizens on the hook for $90 bn + interest (I didn’t check the specifics but it could easily come out to ove $150 bn of EU citizen tax money going to private banks to repay this loan instead of going to their own healthcare and education and public services). As usual, the people who pay back the loan wouldn’t have been those who benefit from it or those who decided to take the loan in the first place. Truly a banker’s paradise.

“Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle.”

It’s very possible to be both happy and well-informed, and the key is struggle.

Holy shit Europe loves a good humiliation.

As with everything Trump does, this is just mask-off USA. Radio Free Europe but with extra steps.

It’s been evil since it’s inception, but very handy.

Give her a break, she only wanted to fund defensive weapons to the genocide state. Every country committing genocide has a right to defend itself!

She specifically mentioned growing software and network revenue, so we could be looking at anything from price increases to PS Plus to more aggressive efforts to get people spending more money.

Ngl I do this when talking to libs. If I say Palestine they say “well that’s complicated” but if I say UA they say “oh yes 1000% Slava Ukraini”. This is, surprisingly to me, a much more fruitful approach than pointing out that Nazis weren’t debated to death but killed to death.

Then again this is Main- home of the dope ass bear so there’s no reason to use tactics for libs here.

The main problem for centrists is Nazi imagery.

I really hope I don’t earn a Fell For It Again Award from Mamdani, but in his (and my) defense there are all kinds of forces trying to constrain his budget, and that’s a brick wall for any plan no matter how good.

It’s so sad to see the antagonism between North and South Korea, although it’s not without reason (from DPRK). Hopefully as soon as the US Empire falls S. Korea comes crawling back and asks for reunification. I’m not from there and I really don’t have a say in the matter but I’ve always hoped to see reunification in my lifetime and to visit what is now DPRK and talk to the people there.

The Minister of Health said he used to sniff coke off toilet seats and it’s probably fine.

Did you see the documentary Freak Power?

Yikes Netanyahu also uses the phrase “radical left”?

Dual-price system… cool!

Aaahh ok, thanks. That’s an important piece of info.

Aren’t we 4 instances now?

Holy shit are Gen Z communist already? Man, the kids are alright.

Thank you for this answer!

the west couldn’t put aside their Orientalism long enough to fully destroy Russia, and turned their biggest ally in the country into their enemy.

What is this in reference to?

Wait… you mean the Russian people put him up against the wall? Or who? I honestly don’t know much about Russia.
