But all these media personalities are garbage. BadEmpanada included. You can only rise to prominence by being garbage and doing flame wars and click bait and all that retard shit.

I feel like most of you hate humans in general. Am I incorrect?

>Knowing what little I've seen of BadEmpanada that is a completely bad faith summary of whatever the video was.
It's not, he repeats those sentiments several times throughout the video

>>2563960
>How is someone this annoying and retarded the richest person alive?
Because we live in a capitalist hell

>>2563987
>It's not, he repeats those sentiments several times throughout the video
His framing is disingenuous. I would say the reason he lost followers is he started beef with as many other left media personalities as he could in one video, so anyone who was a fan of his and one of those he insulted, they might choose to side with the other guy.

one piece is cancer

I see, sorry for misunderstanding you anon. You have impeccable taste

That's fine but I remember you being quite excited for the maoist parties to take that command, which they of course didn't do at all, they barely made any statement whatsoever. While you don't have to dismiss or invalidate the anger or grievances of the masses it should have been quite easy to see that the whole thing was compromised from the start. Which is the exact reason that no party actually pushed for organized warfare as it was happening because that would have ended extremely bad for them

You can tell this is an astroturfed campaign because Mexico is a proud DBZ nation.

the sad part is, you can see even die-hard ukrainians sounding the alarms at all fronts. but nato moves to until the last ukrainian direction, whether ukrains like it or not.

>>2563952
Tbh it was already over for NATO when the threat of instant armageddon if Russia ever moves westward was immediately downgraded to think-tanking up theories for how Russia will be defeated by circumstance. They’ve ratcheted up their involvement, risk and expenditure since then in an attempt to make the “correct” circumstances for Russia’s own self-defeat to come to pass, but ultimately NATO failed in its primary purpose as a deterrent against intervention in their expansionism and the reality that expansion is not actually for Ukraine’s protection laid bare.

You played with this tweet for like a week now. We know, one more week and Ukraine collapsed.

>>2563983
>for like a week now
>November 15.
oh, if you mean that Saturday was last week, ok.
it's every ukie miliblog sounding the alarm. but hey, Pokrovsk stands, am I right?

>>2563961
those are clearly RuZZian bots, Ivan

you need to learn to use the report function instead of being a bait obsessed retard. Ironically redditoid behaviour.

this isn't even responding to bait because this is being pushed all over social media right now, that Venezuelans and their neighbors are BEGGING for MAGA to invade them.

>>2563967
The overwhelming consensus in social media is that the Venezuelan govt is corrupt and shitty and needs to go but also the US intervention is gonna make things worse like Libya.

Reports indicate that the Venezuelan military, under President Nicolás Maduro's government, has prepared plans for a guerrilla-style resistance against a potential U.S. military intervention.

This strategy is an acknowledgment of the conventional military disparity between the two nations and is intended as a deterrence tactic.

The plan, termed "prolonged resistance," involves using small military units from more than 280 locations to conduct sabotage and other guerrilla tactics across the country.

These preparations come amid heightened tensions with the United States, including a large U.S. military build-up in the Caribbean (described by the U.S. as counter-narcotics operations) and past suggestions from U.S. officials about potential ground operations in Venezuela.

Maduro has announced a "massive mobilization" of the National Militia, which includes civilians, for training and defense exercises.

Maduro's government maintains it wants peace but is ready to defend the homeland against any aggression.

maybe on TikTok for the zoomies, but everywhere on "X" and Instagram I'm being bombarded by arguments that LatAm has been waiting for salvation-by-bombing for decades. not even the leadup to 2003 was this flagrantly manipulated.

and of course the current crop of US muhreens are Trump-worshiping zoomers who are going to murder and rape their way through Venezuela because the lesson of the GWOT that MAGAtards got was that they didn't use enough force.

chad shit

>sure they do
huh?
>but why does russia propose it every year?
what's the problem? with that. they do it since 2005, and they have moved time to time to disband and arrest Russian nazis and their parties.

>>2563972
i meant to say "sure they could" but the point is that it's entirely opportunistic to further their nationalist goals, to contrast other nations as "neo-nazi" while downplaying their own racism, and it's a UN vote, which is only representative of the ambassadors themselves, so again, why use this as a point for an argument?

>>2563974
>while downplaying their own racism
don't throw words you don't know lib. racism is a state, e.g. that the US prison population is composed by ethnic minorities, despite whites commit around the same number of crimes than other groups.
>to contrast other nations as "neo-nazi"
Wow, Russia forced these nations to vote NO in those UNGA votes, lmao.

>because christianity was not the movement of the oppressed? it was the movement of middle-wealthy gentiles
Interestingly people who study the gospels from the secular standpoint of them being historical documents rather than divinely inspired works, conclude that they were written not by the apostles they were named after, but significantly later, by wealthy, greek-speaking, Romano-Jewish and gentile aristocrats. Probably between 70 and 150 CE, depending on the gospel. What remains more ambiguous is whether a "Jesus movement" based on "his" (or somebody's) teachings and sayings already existed before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, and to what extent the gospel story was fleshed out by 70 CE, and to what extent it was created after 70 CE. The gospels contradict one another on some interesting details, and each gospsel may have been written by leaders of different factions within early Christianity, with different intended audiences, some speaking directly to Jews in order to convert them to Christianity, while others focused on converting gentiles to Christianity.

There are a lot of long standing conspiracies about Jesus, one of the more interesting ones, in my opinion, being that Christianity was created by emperor Titus and his Jewish mistress in 70 CE to pacify the rebels with a synthetic ideology (specifically a synthesis of Roman religion, Jewish religion, and Stoic philosophy) that preached peace, turning the other cheek, paying taxes to Rome, fearing your master, and waiting for salvation in the afterlife. Some thing Josephus may have helped fabricate one or more of the gospels while also writing his secular histories of the Jewish people.

>Russia's defeat of Nazi Ukraine will not only be helpful for Ukrainian Communists and anti-fascists but will be a crippling blow to the trans-Atlantic system, NATO, the EU, and the "rules-based genocide" order.

Yea dude I'm sure that the fascist oligarchy with imperialist amibitions is gonna be excited to replace being surrounded by NATO bases with being surrounded by socialist, anti-fascist movements

Damn not even controlled opposition communists are left alone.

>Germany and France are discussing downsizing their €100bn flagship air defence project by dropping plans to jointly build a fighter jet and focusing on development of a command and control system dubbed the “combat cloud”.

<The combat cloud, which aims to enhance the capabilities of EU militaries by using artificial intelligence to rapidly process large volumes of data, is a collaboration between Airbus’s German-based defence unit, France’s Thales and Spain’s Indra.

Have some devil's advocacy: What if 100% employment is bad not because people want to change jobs, but because people need to change jobs. A stablehand may enjoy stable (hah) employment caring for horses, but once the car factory opens and people stop using horses for day-to-day transportation it's necessary that the number of stablehands falls and, consequently, that the number of something else (say, car mechanics) increases. (barring unusual assumptions like "we'll keep these people around all day doing nothing of social necessity, when we need more labor we'll just import it.")

If you centrally plan this you get the resentment that you're forcibly reassigning the stablehand, who wants to keep his regular job. If you do it with market forces, you get the immiseration of unemployment. If you go the socdem route, you cushion the blow with welfare but you're still ultimately delivering the stablehands an ultimatum that their days of horse-care are over. This is very bad for the stablehand, but good for society as a whole. Social Desirability Bias means economists are likely to put it in warm language (people want better jobs!) rather than say something nasty like "economic progress requires compelling labor to move from old industries to new ones, since unlike capital it can't just be dragged there by the profit motive"

Society should maintain a general fund for unemployment in moments like this in order to quickly plan and execute the re-allocation, re-training, and re-employment of those who need to change jobs. The unemployment fund would not reward them for their labor, but rather compensate them for the damage of the sudden job loss, and subside them until they are given new employment. This can flexibly accommodate sudden change as well as accommodate the need for long term central planning of the economy, and changes labor composition of that economy.

Under capitalism, where some percentage of unemployment is considered necessary, still treats those people unfortunate enough to fall into that category, as having failed some social test, rather than being a byproduct of a system that produces unemployment, which strikes me as one of the more insidious aspects of capitalism.

Hmm. I think people should be educated in the first place to not have so much attachment and investment to jobs that can disappear because of technological progress. People are instead raised on the idealism that their jobs will exist forever, and then they arPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
