Critical support to defective shells

The unions declared a general strike!

E: Seems the military retreated, “for now”.

It’s not even a lesser evil, Biden has done pretty alright, by most counts.

Yeah, the genocide came out alright 😊

If they cannot look after their own artifacts I wonder how they’re gonna look after all those other countries’ stolen artifacts…

Yeah, they had a post praising the Shining Path. The comments tore it apart for obvious reasons. It sometimes covers the war in Ukraine as “inter-imperialist” too.

smh this video spreads misinformation, China already surpassed the US!

I didn’t and I didn’t need to ywy

Ah sometimes I get my reactionaries mixed up

The original “change my mind” sitting man was Matt Walsh so doubly valid

No? I think it may be a random anime girl they chose for the meme

What part of this article or the post shows support for Georgian Dream specifically? Do you think we support Putin’s party or Iran’s current government in the same way? Not trying to come off as smug

I mean, we do support them, but critically, not blindly like the word “fans” or “aligned” may suggest. I don’t get what’s the difference in this situation wrt Georgia. If you think this isn’t worth critical support you should just say that instead and explain materially why.

Welcome to this lonely club, comrade. The presence of socialists/communists depends a lot on your location, mostly in big urban areas like Madrid or Barcelona. Since their scope is almost always local, you’re gonna have to find out by yourself (yeah I’m not being helpful at all here 🫠), through social media (twitter, insta) or IRL, like going to protests. In big cities, I’ve seen some housing unions, mutual aid, and BDS branches. If you’re a student you can maybe look for the student union. Don’t expect any revolutionaries. There’s also Movimiento Socialista, which are trots iirc. Lastly, with regards to parties, I wouldn’t join the PCE. Maybe the PCPE or PCTE, but they’re completely irrevelant and I haven’t heard a single thing they’ve done other than going to protests, making statements and having very niche podcast/radio shows.

Maybe it’s for a big family or a small business. That stuff lasts very long too. Or maybe I’m being naive and people consoom that much

Yeah, I agree. He did a better job on the Taiwan video, taking into account that he was being that centrist. The Europe video was very basic, but still getting the point across.

Even worse then. I meant more the “new left”, though I do retract the “often” part.

He has a video on the CPUSA channel iirc on the war, calling it a proxy war and all that. I think since his channels are more directed at libs it took a very “centrist” stance trying to avoid controversy. For socdems/radlibs, admitting Ukraine is the vassal it is is a hard pill to swallow (especially in the US where I presume most the viewers are, where the war had pretty much no downsides). Nevertheless, in 2024 we have multiple statements and articles from the most fervent NATOist and pro-western sources spelling out that the war IS fought for the US’ benefit, and the 2014 coup WAS a US effort.

That said, I think it’s incorrect for JT to still be portraying the war in such a way on his channels. The war should be seen for what it is, before it inevitably disappears from libs’ memory and people can get away with saying stupid shit and get away with it. It’s not a secret that he’s a “tankie”, too. I don’t think the people supporting his channel are oblivious to that, so I wouldn’t say it’s a money problem. But then again, I’m not him.

Western Sahara was a colony that was abandoned by Spain (e: abandoned just after Franco died, bc it would be very weird to be all about “democracy” while having a huge colony). Spanish socdems/new left often talk in support of it’s independence, but they never do anything about it. In fact, Spanish companies still fish near its shores and even steal the sand for artificial beaches (you can use machine translation) which is the only reason why there is light colored sand in Canary Islands.

Spain would never do anything about it because it would sour relations with Morocco, from where we get cheap fruit, for example.

Spinach 12.6? Must be 2.6, unless it’s dry. Where does that number come from?
