Biggest lie ever created, in most reactionary spaces, or spaces that were turned into reactionary ban leftists either by auto saging their threads on imageboards or just flat out banning them (4chan, sharty, many "free speech" platforms, kiwifarms, etc)

Democracy sucks, fuck people

China is a democracy, they have a robust system of consultation and public input that forms the basis of CPC policy at local, provincial, and national levels. Party officials regularly consult with local populations to recieve feedback on existing policy, recieve petitions, hear grievances, etc. The result is that the vast majority of Chinese citizens feel they live in an authentic democracy.

They have an /I/ board which a few other general dysgenics and maladjusted types from 'sharty' and 4chan and the like use.

Key witness in massive Philippine corruption scandal found dead after falling off cliff

>A former senior Philippine government executive embroiled in a massive corruption scandal was found dead on Dec 18 after an apparent fall from a cliff in the country’s north. Former Public Works undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral, 63, was reported to have fallen along Kennon Road in Tuba town, Benguet province, a mountainous area known for its steep terrain and winding roads.

Lmao just running off a cliff for no reason.

>Interior and Local Government Minister Jonvic Remulla said in a news conference on Dec 19 that the authorities had so far found “no foul play” in her death, but stopped short of saying whether it was an accident or suicide. “There were no signs… But usually in these cases, you really can’t tell when things are happening,” he said.

Clown policing

>Ms Cabral was reportedly one of the “masterminds” of a “kickback system” at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). That scheme was said to have netted billions worth of public funds for several powerful politicians – including at least three senators and one congressman – and government contractors.

Pentagon says it fails eighth audit, targets 2028 to pass
For the eighth year in a row, the Pentagon has failed an annual audit, the Department of Defense said on Friday, continuing a pattern of financial accountability problems that have drawn bipartisan criticism and emerged as a campaign issue. The Pentagon's first audit was conducted in 2018 and it consistently failed, reflecting system and accounting problems across its vast bureaucracy that have persisted.

‘An Absolute Joke’: Trump DOJ Partially Releases Epstein Files, Many Heavily Redacted
The DOJ uploaded the files—which can be viewed here(https://www.justice.gov/epstein/doj-disclosures) in the section titled “Epstein Files Transparency Act”—to its website on Friday. Earlier in the day, Deputy US Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the agency would not release all the Epstein files on Friday, as required by the transparency law signed last month by President Donald Trump. Friday’s release includes declassified files, many of them heavily redacted and some of which were already publicly available via court filings, records requests, and media reporting. Files include flight logs and masseuse lists. One document contains nothing but 100 fully redacted pages.

The Iraqi Left at a Crossroads: Renewal, Unity, and the Recovery of Mass Action
The Left in the Age of the Digital Revolution
In the context of the digital revolution, this need becomes even more urgent. We live in a time when ideas are measured by reach, impact, interaction, and the ability to turn into collective action. These are criteria understood by younger generations and practiced daily in digital space and on the ground. Young manual and intellectual workers do not receive politics through long speeches or heavy theoretical texts, but through platforms, short videos, open discussions, horizontal and flexible forms of organization, and collective leadership. Political, administrative, organizational sciences, development, and digital space must be treated as real arenas of class struggle and used effectively, as this is a basic condition for building a contemporary left capable of transforming social anger into organized force. In this sense, leftist ideas become a living analytical tool at the heart of the digital revolution, continuously evolving rather than frozen in timeless texts. Young women and men shift from being a target audience to becoming essential actors in political, intellectual, and organizational production. When the left succeeds in linking the justice of its social project with scientific development, as Marx and Engels once did, but now with digital tools, it can represent social change as a clear and convincing alternative, move from fragmentation to organized collective action, break the hegemony of political capitalism, and build a new emancipatory horizon.

Yemen’s Civil War Has Taken a Dangerous New Turn
Forces from the Southern Transitional Council (STC) have taken control of Yemen’s two eastern governorates, Hadhramaut and al Mahrah, to the dismay of both Saudi Arabia and Oman. The Saudi kingdom backs the Internationally Recognized Government (IRG), which had already lost control of Yemen’s capital Sana’a and much of its territory to the rival administration formed by Ansar Allah. Now the IRG is in further disarray. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), which joined the Saudi-led military coalition fighting against Ansar Allah,Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

they're playing up a right wing that has a modicum of principles and standards because they have enough brain cells to realize that their privileged position requires a country stable enough to actually maintain that position, they realize that being a completely selfish, destructive schizo that lashes out at random isn't going to last very long.

Christmas as an adult is about spending time and talking with people you like/love.

do you hate your parents or?

You know I hate that not a lot of leftists realize this but I have to fucking say it, the difference between the first world and the third is not as hard (especially in a US context) as people think. That's not to say that there's no difference or that there's no impact from imperialism on the global south but way too many people on the left and right have such an oversimplified view of what "third world" means to the point that they think everything outside of their country is just slums and everything inside of their country is affluent and going great.

The truth is this varies widely from country to country and region to region. A good example of this would be Mexico because a lot of gringos have this fucked perception where they think that the entire country is just slums and cartels when there's very nice parts of the country that's on par with "first world" countries. Does that mean those problems don't exist or there aren't places that are slums or problems with inequality or violence? No, those do exist but way too many people in the global north think that everyone outside of their sphere is living in fucking mudhuts and starving to death and thus will be a breeding ground for revolution while their own workers are "living like kings" when ironically that ends up actually being a kind of just straight up racist view of the third world that paints every country as being the same.

In fact, one thing that has been really interesting in talking to people from Mexico as well as other "third world" countries is how many come to the US and become instantly really fucking disappointed to the point that many decide to make as much money in the US as possible and then head back so the money they make actually counts. Honestly, I don't blame them because even though it does have the side effect of raising the cost of living in the home country it's closer to the dream they originally came to the US to achieve.

As a side note though gringos do need to stop moving to Mexico City while working remote jobs, that's fucking things up more because a lot of the money is not going back into the community in comparison to the example I provided.

That said I do acknowledge this is partially from a US point of view but like I said way too many people think that the entire global south is just all poverty and suffering when the reality can be way more complex. Even in Africa, a continent that a lot of people think is completely destPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

My biggest complaint about the whole settler narrative that some one the left likes to use is that the US is unironically one of the least racist white country i've ever been too, i was cursed by
taxi drivers and i could visibly see passer-bys frowning and turning away from me when i was visiting Warsaw to attend a conference, but when i visited evil settleroid US, outside of the overbearing airport security every white person i've met are kind and charitable to me and i remember a random white boomer in the airport helping me when i couldn't find my luggage. Obv systemic racism exist in the US, and black people to this day suffered greatly under the American system, especially now under Trump rule, but i think American leftists really sell their people short when they paint all Americans as evil racist settlers who want to lynch every poc

>>2604632
It is the dream of every person in Africa to live in the USA. American drama queens just need to complain about something all the time.

>>2604632
Also, too as much as I hate to say it, a huge part of the reason that it's like that is because it is a settler colony… the majority of people have no ties to the land which makes it much harder (though people still do) to argue that people should be kept out just sheerly due to the fact most people are not originally from there.

I don't like the fact that the native population was killed off and forced into shitty reservations which are basically third world conditions but at the same time as uncomfortable as it is to admit the whole idea the United States is a nation of immigrants isn't completely wrong even if it's that way for really fucked up reasons.

I think a lot of leftists need to take this into account when talking about social dynamics of race but especially with immigration because it is a huge reason why a lot of European countries like France and the UK can be statistically more racist than the US because those Europeans think they're going to become the colonized even though it's not the same because those moving in aren't violently taking over by force and making the locals second class citizens.

Ironically, in the case of Europe the idea of making immigrants assimilate culturally or get out makes them less likely too while in the US there's much more of a lenience towards letting people their own culture which ends up with them ironically becoming more Americanized over generations due to not feeling as forced to fit in. While the Irish and Italians were discriminated against a lot of elements of the old country ended up being brought over to the point that it's just a part of the fabric of American culture. Think folk music in terms of the Irish (also the Scots-Irish too) or food in terms of the Italians, it's not the same but it wouldn't be a part of American culture if those groups didn't bring those things with them.

Obviously, there is discrimination against immigrants but in the US it's much hypocritical due to being stolen from native people so anti-immigrant rhetoric gets more push back.

It's not a fun thing to acknowledge but it's definitely needs to be taken into account. It doesn't make killing of the native population good nor justify Europeans being racist towards immigrants but so many leftists overlook that to the point that it's such a large factor in AmeriPost too long.

Also, ngl it was hard writing this post given that I am of partial Irish ancestry so it's kind of uncomfortable to know that I exist in a country that was founded on settler colonialism due to the fact that huge swathes of my family had to escape from settler colonialism which meant that they ironically participated in the system that they had to escape from. I'm not the kind of person to have white guilt but the fact that a lot of Irish people immediately threw other minorities under the bus to assimilate into American society is really messed up/tragic given how hypocritical it is and I should have also mentioned that's also another reason people who immigrate to the US are more assimilated than immigrants in Europe. You still see this with some groups such as Asian Americans who hope they'll become white if they throw black people under the bus even though the white people they suck up too will praise them one minute before deciding that they're spreading COVID because of what they eat the next.
