the victims are the people of ukraine, who are being fed to the war machine by a right wing nationalist government in the name of western hegemony

i’m excited for them to make one that makes us more sick. i think zuck is going to invent a new breed of nausea that they’ll name after him.

like, okay maybe it’s a fact that communist parties in the first world are being disrupted by such weirdos, but i think that speaks less to the effectiveness of bourgeois manipulation and more to the ineffectiveness of many communists. i don’t consider it a great feat to be able to smell a reactionary before you see him and simply not take his stupid thoughts seriously. that’s a low bar for a would-be communist party to clear.

it’s a Type of Guy on Twitter, a dying site which mostly just accelerated the development of new breeds of mental illness when it was still popular. literally not something that exists in real life.

i mean, it wouldn’t be the first time british communist orgs have devolved into reactionary tailism.

the fact that this “movement” has zero real world purchase in the US, the nation that gives it all its signifiers and on which it is primarily fixated, should give you an idea of how serious it is. it’s a meme that propagates through the brains of 20th century burnouts who feel nothing but disgust and confusion at pretty much every historical development since the working class lost the cold war, and so latch onto the growing fascist wave – which frankly doesn’t need direct help from the feds – despite also being unable to understand why it’s been successful.

additionally, i recommend that you abandon the thought-terminating cliche of the “psyop.” without any evidence that some social development is actually motivated by a nefarious actor, all it refers to is one’s subjective feeling that what you’re seeing is too bizarre to have a rational explanation. it’s, frankly, antimaterialist, and not unlike the reasoning that motivates “MAGA communists”; observe how they often like to call challenges to their personal bigotries the work of the CIA.

more single use plastics and pesticides, personally

gamers rise up

translation: my seat is vulnerable because i’ve failed to build a durable progressive coalition and there are zionists in my district who would do everything they can to end my career

Also even if the prototype in the video is fully functional, they are not gonna have these delivered by August this year with a $500k goal lmao.

“Minimal”

At the software level, the Minimal Phone is based on a customized version of Android 13 and uses the MediaTek MT6769 SoC. It has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The front camera has a resolution of 8 MP and the main camera 16 MP, of which the latter comes with flash. Bluetooth and WiFi for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands are supported. NFC, GPS and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor are also included, as are a compass and gyroscope.

A fingerprint sensor? 16 MP camera? This is just a regular phone with a worse display. The 2009 BlackBerry Tour had 128MB of RAM and a 3.2 MP camera, and it was high end. I realize there just isn’t a market anymore for a device that doesn’t have these features that could be priced under $400, but it really speaks to a lack of imagination in the industry.

Today I learned of the Pyongyang Metro. Their trains are really cute!

the biggest difference is that hamas isn’t threatening to destroy the schools and hospitals that israel is bombing

hm, i wonder why there’s so many union jacks here?

great suggestion Memezar!

are there any JS fans who argue that it’s elegant? i thought the supposed advantage was that it’s flexible and universal.

The Fountainhead is a novel about an American architect that has nothing to do with China. They’re doing a weird bit, presumably about how evil tankies asking them to read books is cheating.

No one in China is over 50. If you’re over 50 in China they just shoot you, and then they lie and say they didn’t.

My god he can’t read a graph. How has our educational system been allowed to fail for this long?

I’m not committed at all to China as the salvation of the communist project, but it’s exactly this sort of self-imposed illiteracy and ignorance, and nearly religious faith in the inferiority and duplicity of The Orient that makes me default to distrusting anything negative a cracker says about it.
