You may not believe it, but I was the one who sent Tony Greenstein the dissertation exposing the BBC’s negligent reporting of the 1930s.

I think Marx would really dig that How It's Made show from back in the day.
yea, its a great way to fight commodity fetishization, it should be national television tbh
City subreddit, Western country: 'look at this cool park, public transport, building, cute cafe'
City subreddit, Eastern Europe: 'JOIN NATO JOIN EU PROTEST EU FUCK PUTING JOIN EU EU IS MASTER RACE'
It's only brainwashing if it's the DPRK guys
City subreddit, Western country: ‘look at this cool park, public transport, building, cute cafe’
Don't know if it's different in western Europe or something, but here in Canada it's "IMMIGRANTS BAD CYCLISTS BAD NATIONALISM GOOD SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND COPS AND CONSERVATIVE LEADERS"
And also just finding out that apparently people in my city's subreddit are defending the idea of unbanning fracking and uranium mining in our small densely-populated province?? Depressing shit man
Tbh it's really funny how strongly people like this have been hating Trump for being American when these same people would be all over him if he was Canadian, their ideology is identical
Canadian jingoism is so fucking weird. I haven't lived in canada for a long time but the other day I did that thing where I got mildly offended when someone asked if I was american. Guy back peddled and said "I mean like north american"
Later he texted to apologise if he offended me (pretty fucking cool guy) and it hit me how fucked it is that I still stand up for canada being "better" than america. And what is more fucked is that it is wired into me so deeply that I didn't even realize what I was doing until afterwards.
So next time we talked I got apologise for my stupid knee jerk jingoism. he tried to say "canada is better and different cuz of healthcare etc" and I was like "yeah but they are still genociding their indigenous people, who cares if they treat their settlers better" and he was talking about how things are changing for the worse cuz when he was a kid a family could own their home and raise kids on a single salary and I got to point out that they could only do that because of neocolonialism and imperialism.
It was a good little bit of agitation. Its so cool when people are receptive to ideas like labor aristocracy.

Europe already spends 2 to 3 times more on defence than Russia and has more manpower and vehicles but there is, apart from us, no party ever highlighting this.
Went to a psychologist for a second opinion for starting my trans care last week. He approved it, so that's nice but he also made me really self conscious about the way I talked. He noticed that I talk with a slightly crooked mouth. He asked why, and insinuated it's medical. I said that's it's because of my autism and it only happens when I'm nervous. He also asked if I'm sure it's not a by-effect of my DIY medication, to which I replied that I had it my whole life. He then shared a story of an older woman who had the same her whole life, and that she also said that it's not medical, and that he made her question if it was medical.
He was nice the whole interview and then he pulls this shit. Now I keep focussing on my mouth when I talk and I notice that I want to avoid conversations more often.
Congratulations on getting approved!!! Very exciting, I hope it works out.
Sounds quite annoying to have to answer a bunch of questions abouut something you don't want to talk about.
Lol that's weird. It's one thing to notice such a thing and he's right when he might think it can be something medical but to insinuate it is is just weird. But then again doctors can be quite strange.
I have heard from Telegram that war has returned to the Gaza Strip.
Reuters is reporting that israel did air strikes.
That new book by the ex-Facebook employee is a good glimpse into the mind of a terminal liberal. She mentions China in the introduction which I thought was odd because Facebook never operated in China and if you count the evils that Facebook has done, which are countless btw, is China really that important that it should be mentioned in your introduction?
So I ctrl F China to see what her point of view was. Turns out she is mad that Zucc and other execs were willing to negotiate with China rather being a tool for regime change. She talks about a phone call with another employee who asks her if Zucc should take credit for the Arab Spring. She says that her answer depends on Facebook's policy towards, because taking credit for it would make it difficult to make inroads in China because it would mean that Facebook facilitates "people's revolutions" (yeah she called Arab Spring that).
She completely refuses to understand why Zucc want to do business in China. The fact that China is not only the second largest country but also moderately prosperous with a mind boggling consumer base for Facebook is something she never contends. She is just mad about the ethical implications of bowing down to CCP's demands. Like its their divinely ordained duty to topple "authoritarian regimes" around the world.
All China wanted was for FB to remove terrorist content. She sounds like a fed.
Is this the alleged Facebook whistleblower? That was definitely an operation to get even more control of Facebook
It's this book: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/books/review/careless-people-sarah-wynn-williams.html
‘Careless People,’ by Sarah Wynn-Williams
so she basically grifting right, read an interview and she is mad about companies making concessions to the CPC to be able to enter their market lmao. especially now that zucc went mask off republican, i think she is just catering to the democrat base trying to make a quick buck.
Yeah this is as naked as a grift gets. She worked in a top position in a blatantly evil corpo for some seven years. Anyone with a shred of conscience would not be able to last a day in her shoes.
TIL Bobby Fischer, american chess grandmaster, was deeply into antisemitic conspiracies. He was subscribed to the judeobolshevik conspiracy, and st some point wrote "we should start randomly killing jews". I wouldnt have known this if not by some random X comment.
Is there any list about media figures that are antisemitic?
To be honest, I would have preferred seeing more leftists take a neutral approach to the Russo-Ukrainian war than siding with Ukraine. ‘Both sides are wrong’ is still an oversimplification and not the best approach to take, but it’s at least easier to understand than siding with a pro-NATO dictatorship of the bourgeoisie that has been lousy with neofascists for at least a decade.
There's no such thing as a real left in the US. It's either CIA synthetic left or MLs.
Yeah, like i understand the optics about big country attacking small country that makes western leftists side with Ukraine, but i don't understand how then they completely ignore the US role in this.
It pretty much declares that western "leftists" are really "right-wing" in a global context and only "left-wing" in their local context, they only want to reap the benefits of western imperialism along with their capitalist overlords, they give no shit about the global class struggle. Yanis Varoufakis is the prime example of this.
The "labor aristocracy" theory was way more correct than Engels or Lenin could ever have imagined.
They are “Leftists in name only”

Hope everyone having a nice week! I was pretty busy making transfem.social safer.
I hope you made some transphobes cry.
With the war in Ukraine tilting more and more in favour towards Russia, when do you guys think the war could be over assuming it continues at this pace?
Impossible to say. Too many factors could still go a number of different ways. If i had to take a guess i would say it's probably going to go on for at least another six months. And i wouldn't be surprised if it goes on well into next year. But there are things that could happen which would shorten it considerably, such as an unexpected collapse on one of the fronts, a coup in Kiev, or the US cutting off all aid. Barring an event of that sort i don't think Russia is in any hurry to end it, especially now that Ukraine has been evicted from Kursk. One thing i can tell you is that the Europeans are going to be wholly irrelevant to this process. They have no material capability to follow through on any of their rhetoric.
Any day now... for the next 7 years.
I think it will not end before usa falls
Ireland before independent was similar with Palestine in presenot.
That is true. Though the process was drawn out over centuries and was generally run as cheaply as possible.
Why expend a fortune completely pacifying a country when you can put in settlers and let them steal and murder their way to supremacy.
People say the internet is forever, but that is a lie. If someone wants to nuke their digital footprint, it is easier than ever right now.
