You can accept or reject the claim that South Korea is an imperialist outpost of the US. I don’t care about that right now.
But you do know that nothing in OPs comment implies that the two korea’s share passports or anything like that, right? Like, come on, these are basic reading comprehension skills.
Isn’t WSWS run by Trotskyists?
MAGA types
I think Germany might have its own thing to compare the AfD to…
Great, we can keep being perpetually blood feuding with eachother for all eternity, great solution, once we’ve exiled and eradicated all hateful people the remainder will live in peace and prosperity forever.
This is not Fanon’s point, nor is it mine. The Wretched of The Earth Is a seminal text on colonialism for good reason. In it, Fanon is grappling with what it means for the colonized to violently resist.
The settler state is already violent. We just don’t usually conceive of state violence as such. Fanon is correct in the same way that the way to deal with a schoolyard bully is to stand up and confront him. Not appeal to his better angels.
(It’s not like that thinking isn’t basically how we got here or anything)
This misunderstands the situation. This isn’t some ancient conflict where both sides are equivalent. The Israeli state is the aggressor here, and that aggression has a clear beginning, with at least the Nakbah.
The land itself is the thing being fought over. Not some nebulous blood feud. The land, the capacity to live on it, work on it, cultivate it, to have history on that land. These are things being denied to the native Palestinians by the Israeli state.
The solution here is the right of return for all displaced Palestinians, restoration of their civil liberties, language rights, etc. So they might be able govern themselves, as they see fit.
For a colonized people the most essential value, because it is the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity -The Wretched of The Earth
The starving peasant, outside the class system is the first among the exploited to discover that only violence pays. For him there is no compromise, no possible coming to terms; colonization and decolonization is simply a question of relative strength.
For the starving people of Gaza, who have lived their entire lives in what amounts to the world’s largest concentration camp, the time for “changed behaviour” from Israel is long passed, if it was ever there to begin with.
Then start watching content on peertube, bozo
All of those things, save for the MRI, are valuable life skills.
I don’t need to know everything about an engine, but I have basic competency in changing my oil or replacing my air filter.
I don’t know everything about the structure of my home, but I know enough to install some shelves or blinds.
If a problem is outside of my knowledge or ability? I call someone who can fix it for me.
A computer should be the same way. People should have a base level of competency in technology, and that technology should lend itself to people fixing problems themselves.
Everything being a proprietary, closed source, magic mystery box, that spies on you, and can only be fixed by the company that made it, is very bad, actually.
What an absolutely brain dead take on what people should and shouldn’t be doing with their time.
Farmers have to waste time hacking their John Deere tractors, just to be able to start fixing them. OP isn’t the one dictating what people should or shouldn’t do with their time.
Time to fire up Protoweb!
I’ll say it
Ok, but you shouldn’t
Yeah Tesla only incidentally makes cars. Their accrual business is being a Carbon Credits dealer. Which just goes to show that the whole concept of carbon credits is nonsense. Climate change can’t be solved by market mechanisms
Nowadays we have meat five times per day.
Who the hell is eating meat 5 times a day? Jordan Peterson??
I’m looking to pirate MS flight simulator 2004 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you to the workers who actually programmed, tested, and implemented the thing*
Digital Avatars in teams arent actively destructive to the internet, the environment, and people’s grasp on reality.
I think you’re universalising a personal grievance, without fully accounting for the impacts of Metaverse bullshit, which was never practical or feasible to begin with, and the AI Apocalypse sweeping the internet
Audacious is your friend. It accepts old Winamp skins!
I’ve been rocking the Windows XP skin on Linux Mint
So I’m a relatively young and healthy person. Im lucky enough to live in a city with an extensive parks system, and go hiking very regularly.
I find that it’s fun, enjoyable and invigorating because I’m outside, and there are things to see. As a result, the fact that it’s exercise becomes secondary.
How are you excercising? Because if it’s going to a gym, or walking on a machine… Yeah I’d be miserable too.
Back in my day, we just told Cleverbot to suck our dicks
If it helps, you see, he was “in government” at the time so he had no choice but to be a shit eating sycophant who told the president whatever he thought he wanted to hear.
“Just following orders” is very famously not a defense for being complicit in a genocide
Wolf Launcher, if you don’t want to deal with the shitty stock launcher.
CloudStream is good if you watch anime.
The folks on r/piracy seem to like an app called Stremio, but I haven’t got that one set up yet.
I have a Jellyfin client.
SmartTube Next is an ad free Youtube client for the firestick.
And then I also have Kanopy and Hoopla which let me access media via my public library card.
No.
40 hours a week isn’t some magic number that we have to adhere to. We should be working less.
