And people on reddit still jerk themselves off about China and Vietnam being mortal enemies
Columbia student and Palestinian Mohsen Madawi was just arrested during a visit to the immigration office here in Colchester, VT.
Until 2023, China produced 99 percent of the world’s supply of heavy rare earth metals, with a trickle of production coming out of a refinery in Vietnam. But that refinery has been closed for the past year because of a tax dispute, leaving China with a monopoly.
I guess 100% literally isn't an exaggeration
Beautiful is all I can say
The people who were shitting out of their windows and weren't wiping telling others about ancestral achievements, LOL!
Yeah, cause at this point they can’t even be sure that you won’t twist their words to make China look bad!
It's like they expect busy and important people to drop everything they're doing to respond to "researchers" that are reposting another "study". Its the scientific equivalent of those react youtubers who put their faces in the bottom corner.
He's actually pro-china, but I'm sure he has his own reactionary takes
Vacuous individualism and it's consequences
Cuba. DPRK. China. Vietnam. Laos.
Nazi who organized Odessa Trade Union fire gunned down like a dog after ECHR ruling. Coincidence?
There's a video of Mr dead guy here actually shoving people into "recruitment vans". He beat up a fitness trainer in 2024 who criticized the press gangs, and forced him to "join" the army.
The ruling is kind of a bit of a nothing burger. It casts blame on Yanukovych and makes no mention of the who dunnit of the trade union massacare (let alone who was backing them). The closest it comes to is saying "everyone was throwing molotov cocktails".
They might go back to not wiping their ass at this rate 💔
anti-communism
It probably helps that like 70% of the world's bismuth comes from china
"Peace" with Takfiris will never last. They love killing too much to actually be able to sit still.

To add to this, Gabriel Rockhill, a marxist, does a great critique of this school of western thinking and he even came from it.

UA releases interview of DPRK soldier
Make your own conclusions, but I think it seems pretty believable that there are DPRK troops in Ukraine. Doesn't seem like it changes the war regardless, but interesting update.
edit: according to a comrade of mine that speaks Korean, they said it's kinda hard to say. The last translation seems a bit off, like the person is overstating that he wants to stay in Ukraine, but it's still overall unverified that they are actually DPRK soldiers.
I'm kinda stumped on this one

HTS officials order Palestinian resistance factions to disarm, close bases in Syria: Report
The new rulers in Damascus are taking actions to prevent the Palestinians from defending themselves or resisting Israel
These takfiri scum are more interested in killing Shias and other minorities than they are ridding Syria of INCREASED Israeli and American occupation. It's not really diplomatic to engage in games of I told you so, but to all of these people jubilant about Syrian sovereignty being replaced for Sharia Law, WE TOLD YOU SO
Can someone commie pill me on inflation and it's use in capitalist economies?
How is it that the USSR didn't have any issues with inflation, and what is actually the cause of it in capitalist "societies"?
Potential creative ways to use a sizeable space in a dynamic way?
What's a creative way to use a community space for organizing purposes? I'm wondering of ways I could design this space to cater to the people in the area in a way that's maybe deeper than a standard movie screening, tabling event or what not. Open to any suggestions, especially in the realm of how culture can be used to reach out to the community. Let's say the room could fit 45-50 people for standing room.
Recently fell into a new job (tragic) and it's comically easy
I got a new job at my college recently and I'm basically a glorified chore runner, and I love it. The pay is pretty shit and I'd probably make more working in a kitchen, but tbh, I'm literally typing this as I'm "on the clock", and I get to spend like 90% of the time doing my class work.
That's all, that's the announcement. Hope everyone is doing well.
Edit: The wosrt part of this job are the senior workers who feel the need to tell me to get off of my phone. Just now, someone told me to get off of my phone and when I got off of it they were like "haha, i'm just joking!" Like stfu bro, all passive aggressive for no reason smh...the most strenuous thing I've done today was go to the mail-room. If it's not coming out of your pocket then stfu!!!

Do any comrades know of any resources on Hawaii?
Someone told me there was a deprogram episode on hawaii, but I couldn't find it :/. Any other source material also welcome!
Is anyone else particularly bad about doing stuff on time?
This seems like such a silly write up, but I'm noticing that it's not as easy for me to complete a task unless I'm at the absolute limit of time to where it needs to get done. For example, I needed to study for an exam over the course of a week...I just started today, and the exam is tomorrow 💀. I have 4 chapters to read to and just finished the 1st :').
On one hand, I think having that kind of sense of urgency is good when you're dealing with an "emergency", but like...its not really ideal to constantly be in "emergency" mode. Besides the obvious answer of doing stuff early, how do I stop doing this 😦...
I recently tried to book a numerology session and it felt like a total scam :/
I had met this lady a few weeks ago who did numerology sessions on the side of her regular job. She had offered me a session at the time and I had refused. I ended up finding her number a few weeks later and had arranged to book a session.
I had been seeing all these numbers repeating, and thought, why not have some fun, right? I don't really believe in that kinda stuff, but it would be interesting to see what values people ascribe to things as random as numbers, and see what I think about it. An hour session was gonna come out to upwards of 200+ dollars 💀 .
I apologised saying I should've asked for a quote beforehand, but she tries to call me (I didn't pick up) and she then texts me that "people usually call me when they're in need and I recommend the session", but it's like...of course you would, you're making 200+ dollars off of me lol.
No disrespect to her, but I hate that everyday interactions are warped by profit 😓. I get everyone has to eat, but damn, wtf?
Wasn't sure where to post this :/. Does lemmy delete metadata upon posting an image?

Buying ink in capitalist society 🤮
I asked the store manager if there were refillable cartridges I could just buy online, instead of being forced to pay for like 3 different products! (Not Cheap!) She said that the companies sometimes make printers go error if you use unauthorized ink...
Absolutely pointless production that fuels climate change 🙄. Get me out of here! I'm stuck in 2D!
What do you think of the idea of "muh managerialism, not capitalism"?
I think it's a silly obfuscation to divert any blame from capitalism by just proclaiming that the world currently isn't under capitalist hegemony, but I wanted to see what others thought and if anyone knew anything that Marx or anyone wrote about the matter.
Someone said to me "Directors are not the same as shareholders. Directors, CEOs and fund managers are, well, managers. Managers are NOT capitalists. They do not invest their own capital in order to make money and gain influence, they just climb the ladder. They don't have the same goals as owners and capitalists. They don't value the same things and they don't play the political game to get the same results. This is why the politics have also changed. They don't value the same institutions and want to do politics in different ways. They don't value political parties, individual rights, etc., they value rules, bureaus that enforce the rules that are non-partisan and continue to operate regardless of who's in power. Managerialism is

This might not be applicable to everyone, but there's an app called freebie alerts. There's pretty much everything on it: TV's, dryers, chairs, etc.

I've seen people try to liberalize/ "humanize" Engels before, but this article tries to do the same to Karl Marx
Neither should be held responsible for the excesses of their supporters.
I recently went down the Engels, Marx, Nietzsche, etc. pipeline and I just gotta say I'm suprised at what I found. This is the same Karl Marx who said "We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror."
The idea that Marx would be aPpAlLed At StAliNiSm is laughable at best.
