US imperialism wargames the military draft
On July 22, the U.S. Selective Service System issued a request for quotations seeking a contractor to develop a computer simulation of a military draft. The project is another indication that the American ruling class is making concrete preparations to mobilize hundreds of thousands or potentially millions of young people for future wars.

Immigrant-led business group votes to sue NYC over Mamdani’s taxpayer-funded grocery stores, alleging unfair competition
As the far-left mayor announced new details of his plan this week — including a 30% discount on basic items like produce, meat, milk, cheese and bread – the Multicultural Business Coalition’s board voted to file a lawsuit in the coming weeks to block the pricey initiative, the group’s chairman Frank Garcia told The Post. “The mayor doesn’t seem to want to sit down with us,” Garcia said, adding that Mamdani “won’t be able to bully these lawyers we are going to bring in.”

Reporting from Gaza with Palestinian Poet Ahmed Sarsour
“It’s not just about what’s happening in Palestine, it’s happening everywhere. The same forces that are controlling the world, the capitalist and imperialist forces, they are the ones who started the war in Sudan, and they are the ones waging wars in communities in every country in the world, like in Congo and Turtle Island, and Cuba and Venezuela,” Ahmed Sarsour tells me. It’s the afternoon of Friday, June 26, and Sarsour is struggling to stay on the call amid interruptions in electricity. The 33-year-old Palestinian poet is speaking to Unicorn Riot from his birthplace, his grandparents’ home in the center of Gaza in the city of Deir Al-Balah. Shaken but still standing after three separate bombings, the house sits adjacent to rubble from their neighbors’ former home. The local mosque has also been destroyed.

Sanae Takaichi Cannot Resolve Japan’s Economic Crisis
Japan has been in a prolonged economic crisis, with the yen reaching a 40-year low in value at the start of July. Takaichi was elected in part due to her bold economic promises. While there has been some debate, Takaichi is generally seen as a Keynesian politician who aims to stimulate the Japanese economy through major investments in key industries tied to advanced technology and the defense industry, favoring multi-year budgeting over single-year budgets. She has further promised to relieve consumer costs by lowering Japan’s 8 percent tax on food sales to just 1 percent. Elected largely due to her economic promises, Takaichi has been unable to pass much of this agenda, even with her party’s supermajority. Instead, she has had to rely on intervention from the United States, which stepped in late last week to prop up the yen. Whether or not this intervention succeeds in stabilizing Japan’s economy, it signals the Japanese government’s own inability to address the issue most impacting Japanese workers. It also further reinforces Japan’s subordination to the United States at a time when the United States is increasingly weak and unable, or unwilling, to act as a reliable ally, even to its most sycophantic partners.

>nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli on Wednesday renewed his call for imprisoned Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) founder Abdullah Ocalan to be granted a legal “right to hope” that could eventually allow his release, after becoming the first person to sign a new framework bill for Turkey’s ongoing Kurdish peace process.

<After becoming first signatory to Turkey’s peace process bill, Bahceli also called for the release of jailed former Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) co-chair Selahattin Demirtas and the reinstatement of elected mayors Ahmet Turk and Ahmet Ozer, who were removed from office and replaced by government-appointed trustees.

>“I am saying the same thing again. Selahattin Demirtas should return home, the Ahmets should return to their posts, and Ocalan should be granted the right to hope. Turkey must find peace,” Bahceli said.

So according to you, nazis, ethnosupremacists, that above all detested, Jews, Gypsies and Slavs and carried away the mass execution and genocide of these groups, shouldn't have faced any pushback and these groups didn't need to fight back?
Do you understand the implication of what you illiterate reply entails?
Or is it being contrarian a flex so important to you you need to show how sociopathic can you be in the process of championing that contrarianism?
Before you reply, understand the relationship of what's said, and why China doesn't need to invade India or Pakistan

all of these pieces of shit have the same crucial fault where they can't distinguish the master prompt from your own prompt, from its own output, from inputs from other sources. and the stupid robot needs to reevaluate all of these sources with each interaction. no one has a fix for this, it's an incredibly crucial fault. the chinese ones are even worse because to keep costs down, they will regularly summarize all of these inputs and outputs, blurring the picture more and more with each interaction, but presumably chatGPT and claude will start slimming down context as well, except they won't tell you when and how they will start trimming context. retarded CEOs do not understand this fundamental limitation, so they leave these things executing by themselves indefinitely, quickly accumulating context until the machine starts guessing erratically based on erratic context. this is why there are so many posts about angry CEOs screaming their lungs out about whatever AI misbehaving. there's no fixing this behavior, you either limit what they can do on your environment, thus capping this stupid idea of these being defacto human replacements, or you risk the stupid thing deleting all your shit whenever.

Centrist Democrats Keep Making Awful Health Reform Proposals
As the start of the 2028 Democratic presidential primary nears, various policy institutions will offer up health care proposals for candidates to adopt. One such organization, the Searchlight Institute, jumped the gun a few months ago when it released Making Health Care More Available, a package of reforms headlined by a proposal to make primary care free for everyone. Overall, I find the Searchlight Institute’s proposal to be generally overstated in its significance and quite strange and cruel in its particulars.

Capitalism Fans the Flames of the Climate Crisis
More than 900 wildfires have been raging across Canada, primarily in Alberta, British Columbia, Northwestern Ontario, and Saskatchewan. In Northwestern Ontario, where nearly 200 fires have been burning, community members have reported thick air, the constant smell of a campfire, and ash falling from the sky. Last Monday, July 13, a freight train was engulfed in flames, and workers had to request an emergency rescue. Smoke from the wildfires has poured over the Canadian border, with dense clouds hanging over cities in the U.S. Midwest and Northeast. There have also been more than a dozen fires in the northern state of Minnesota due to extreme heat, dry conditions, and strong winds.

How Europe Betrayed Leftwing Spain Over Ceuta
I’ll go to my grave believing that, before Thursday last week, few outside the Sporcle elite could point to the North-African Spanish exclave of Ceuta on a map. That lack of knowledge was all to the good of the European right. Relying on a little public ignorance, they spun a short-lived and potentially orchestrated civilian incursion into yet another code-red threat to civilisation as we know it. But don’t get distracted by those dangerous games. It’s the deranged response to the event by governments across Europe that shows how powerful the right has become across the continent.

>Leftwing Spain

News anon, I love you, but check yo shit on this one. Spain is not leftwing, and PSOE is far from socialist even though the word is part of its name. It's the Spanish equivalent of the the labour party of England, only more generally succdem in discourse and aesthetic and in some aspects of foreign policy, mainly for show.

But PSOE is responsible for more than half of all privatizations of Spanish SOEs, and prominent party leaders have held high positions in private companies involved in this process, such as the energy and banking sector, after their political career. So dont get fooled, they are neoliberal scum all the way, only slightly less shitty than their right wing counterparts

There's a chronicle written by an Andean just a generation after the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, at a time when the colonial relationship was becoming increasingly extractive. What's interesting is that throughout the work, he portrays the Spanish king as God's appointed ruler, with a duty to govern justly and protect all his subjects, including Indigenous peoples. He argues that the king was being deceived by corrupt colonial officials and local administrators in Peru and should rule directly. That's the feudal slave mindset, where God's authority, hereditary nobility and divine kingship are treated as genuine political principles.
