If we’re focusing on media, recently, because of the word “antifa” being tied to anarchists and being used to scaremonger by the media. The media generally scaremonger with “communists” referring to external threats and “anarchists” referring to internal threats (unless its policy or a politician, those can be labeled anarchist or communist or socialist).

Incoming: Municipality passes law mandating a reserved space for police officers for every handicap space a building has.

Imo:

Japanese state is a junior partner, unless you also want to claim Germany is colonized by the US. Parts of Japan are colonial, e.g. Okinawa which was colonized by Japan and is currently a occupied by both Japan and the US military.

Otoh, Korea was subjected to Japanese colonialism, which in SK transitioned into a pro-west puppet government. I think this probably counts as a colonial relation still.

Interestingly, on Taiwan they have the Republic of China calendar (in addition to the Western calendar) which begins from the establishment of the RoC (1912 on the Western calendar).

Irrespective of their politics, Trump is funny and Shapiro is not funny.

Had some crypto Zionist come to a meeting once where we were discussing Palestine (some years ago). They kept trying to bring up irrelevant talking points (how many states should there be? Do we want Islamists to win elections? What about Jewish persecution in x? Lebanon is persecuting christians! Jews aren’t allowed in Palestine! Etc.)

The simple fact was and is that the US, our government, supports an ongoing settler colonial project including genocide.

This is typical wrecker behavior: get people arguing about shit that’s irrelevant to the goal you’re organizing around. Fortunately, we didn’t fall for it much, wasted maybe half an hour on them. But we shouldn’t have waste any time.

What about Austria?

Kinda curious (and concerned) what he’ll do in revenge after he wins. On the bright side, maybe he’ll arrest Hillary.

State media hasn’t implied anything. I’m sure they’ll investigate. But helicopters crashing in terrible weather conditions isn’t unusual. I’d put my money on accident unless some compelling evidence is forthcoming.

As a child I was really into dinosaurs and came to this conclusion

Give the resistance a nuke

Lightning bug’s range is pretty wide (they can be found on every continent except Antarctica), but there are much less of them than there use to be.

As a child in the 90s, I would see so many of them flickering. But now, like many other bugs, they are dying off.

iirc, Vietnam (like China) usually commutes death penalty to life in prison.

He’s expressed optimism about China. He’s definitely said between China and the US, you have to root for China.

But China is also on a tightrope.
