  • Trump considering raising refugee cap to bring in more white South Africans

    Jump

  • I think this is the work of Stephen Miller and Elon Musk - the two white nationalists close to Trump - moreso than anything Trump is initiating or even really cares about.

    In the white nationalist world, the “white genocide” narrative is their lodestar.

  • Vol 2 is great! I mean there’s definitely some dry parts (the chapters on Smith and Ricardo were absolute slogs for me to get through) but Parts 1 and 3 have some of my favorite stuff Marx has written!

  • Republicans introduce extreme bill to ban lawsuits against Big Oil forever | Shouldn't Democrats... be saying something about this?

  • This is a correct observation, from an American.

  • Now that everyone buys everything off Amazon, even inside houses I am noticing people are owning a lot of the same first-that-came-up-in-a-search items.

  • Proton CEO warns global age verification push will mean "the death of anonymity online"

    Jump

  • Age verification is truly a bipartisan effort. California, Colorado, Illinois, New York… none of these are GOP strongholds. The federal bill was introduced by one Republican and one Democrat.

  • They have always been very clear that they will comply with Swiss law, they have never said otherwise. They chose Switzerland to be based out of due to existing legal protections there are better than most countries. And they limit what they hand over to the legal minimum, again something they have been clear about.

  • What's your favorite film and why?

  • My Neighbor Totoro

  • UK moves to ban smoking for everyone born after 2008

    Jump

  • This seems like a much more reasonable, enforceable, and frankly more effective approach. It also seems more in line with respecting personal freedoms to do things even that harm yourself so long as no one else is being harmed.

    I am a tankie - literally as far from a libertarian as you can get - and even I am struck by the seeming lack of concern over stripping away the freedoms of one demographic in particular. Honestly I’d prefer to see cigarettes banned outright than to say some people can buy them while others can’t. Gonna be weird in like 2050 when a 43 year old can buy smokes but a 42 year old can’t.

  • What would you look for in a used bike when spending USD$150 / CAD$200?

  • Yes it’s paved (an old rail line that was paved and converted to a trail)

  • Iran war's global energy crisis sharpens China’s advantage in clean tech

    Jump

  • I’m hopeful that this attack on Iran will have the long-term beneficial outcome of accelerating the move to renewables in the Global South. What’s happening to Cuba right now should be a warning to everyone: if your country relies on fossil fuels, the US can and will cut you off from those fuels if it doesn’t like the cut of your jib. I think that’s the real reason Trump is going so hard against things like windmills. He wants to see everyone dependent on oil - and is positioning the US to control global oil flows in order to force the world to bend to the US’ will. Any country that wants to preserve its sovereignty needs to be looking into getting off oil dependency yesterday. And thankfully, China is building out the capacity now to satisfy that demand for renewable energy.

  • The Idea of the ‘Uyghur Genocide’ and the Realities of Xinjiang [Vijay Prashad & Tings Chak]

    Jump

  • What's a gadget or appliance that you purchased that you would wholeheartedly recommend to others?

    Jump

  • I needed a Bluetooth speaker for my work PC (I work from home). I got one with a radio tuner as well. I’m fortunate that I have several radio stations in my area that play music I like. I prefer having some music on in the background while I work, but I was getting tired of having to actually think about what I wanted to listen to next. So I’ve been listening to OTA radio quite a bit, and it’s a nice change of pace from streaming music. And it’s not like the radio bits added much to the cost of the speaker.

    Edit: also eyeglasses (sure, I’ll count that as a “gadget”). I hadn’t been to the eye doctor in probably 20 years. Hadn’t really noticed any problems but wanted to get my eyes checked since I had just gotten insurance. Doc recommended a prescription and now it’s like seeing the world in HD instead of standard def. If you’re in your late 30s/early 40s and haven’t gotten your eyes checked, it’s possible your vision has slowly degraded over time and eyeglasses will help more than you realize.

  • Apple TV now with extra Zionism

    Jump

  • from the producers of Homeland

    That explains a lot (Homeland was an incredibly Islamophobic show even by post-9/11 US standards).

  • Federal Bill Would Bring OS-Level Age Verification to the Entire U.S.

    Jump

  • The bill is sponsored by Elise Stefanik and Josh Gottheimer, two of the more notable Zionists in Congress (and that’s saying something). If that doesn’t point to the real intention of these laws I don’t know what does.

  • Trump is objectively a greater threat to attack another NATO country than Putin is.

    Jump

  • I feel like it’s well known that kissing up to Trump is the wrong move. Deep down he hates that and doesn’t respect it. He might bluster at first but eventually he respects people who stand up to him or at least don’t give in and kiss his ass (Kim, Sheinbaum, Xi).

  • Gorbachev sending a letter to George H. W. Bush (which he would not respond to) practically begging to tell what kind of government he would like to see in the USSR is my #1 all time pathetic boot-licking given to a US president by a foreign leader. But Rutte’s “daddy” comment is a close second.

  • Schumer is a hardcore Zionist and always has been. He won’t publicly express it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s delighted to see what Trump is trying to do to Iran.
