Thank you comrade :)

alas, the era of the shockjock taking calls on the radio is over.
I was surprised to see the zionists at h3 do it.

I personally enjoy the call-in culture of the olden days of radio, some of my favorite bits come from call-ins.
I can see this as a niche hole in a niche market that I would enjoy, but can't see ever really being a thing.

Hm. True. And leftists do tend to be a lot more insular (with Patreon as a main mechanism) nowadays. I might have to shill money on various Youtuber patreons to assist in my goal of ending echo-chambers…

while i think their methods were always dumb they made sense during francism, today bsaque nationalism is retarded and petit bourgeois

Justified, shame they resigned.
The Francoist regime was actively trying to destroy the Basque people, erase their language and culture, children were beaten for speaking Basque.
When the King came back, he was chosen by Franco, he tried to coup against the liberals until he backed down.
Nothing had really changed for the Basque, the Spanish funded fascist paramillitaries to again, continue the basque oppression. To this day the spanish continue to rape and torture Basque activists, see Iratxe Sorzabal

I think the reason some people still support them these days is because the reactionaries are butthurt over ETA, so if they hate ETA, I have to defend it type mindset

also Guardia Civil guys are all reactionary bastards, much more than the normal police

North America’s largest commuter rail system shuts down as workers strike
The unions and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the public agency that runs the railroad, have been negotiating for months on a new contract, with talks stalled over the question of workers’ salaries and healthcare premiums. President Donald Trump’s administration tried to broker a deal, but the unions were legally allowed to strike starting at 12:01 a.m. Kevin Sexton, national vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, said no new negotiations have been scheduled. “We’re far apart at this point,” Sexton said early Saturday. “We are truly sorry that we are in this situation.”

US Postmaster General floats ending six-days-a-week mail delivery, closing most local post offices
Steiner’s opening report to the meeting called on Congress “to remove the mandates that ensure the Postal Service loses money: For example, days and levels of service, the ability to close unprofitable offices, and the underpricing of First-Class Mail. If we had flexibility on those three main issues, we could go a long way towards becoming profitable, but the American public would see reduced levels of service and higher rates.” This amounts to the abolition of USPS as a public service, converting it openly into a for-profit model and setting the stage for its privatization. More than 70 percent of local post offices are unprofitable, according to USPS’ own estimates. Combined with cuts to “days and levels” of delivery service, this would lead broad swathes of the country, especially rural areas, without reliable access to mail.

Why Capitalism’s Origins Matter: Review of Mother of Capital: How Rent Gave Birth to Modernity by Matthew Costa (Pluto Press, 2025)
How did the medieval world give birth to our modern system of capitalist accumulation and competition? A new book by Matthew Costa, a Marxist historian and mandarin at New South Wales’s treasury, offers a compelling answer and synthesizes a vast body of writing on this topic. Mother of Capital: How Rent Gave Birth to Modernity provides an engaging account of the transition from feudalism to capitalism, a subject that has been debated among historians and economists for centuries.

Labour and the myth of the twin extremes
AS LABOUR turns its eyes to Andy Burnham as a possible saviour, rival demonstrations in London underline the depth of Britain’s political crisis. The far-right — once again absurdly misnamed — “unite the kingdom” rally called by Tommy Robinson embodies a threat most Labour MPs have woken up to. Reform’s sweeping wins at the May 7 local elections have precipitated a full-on political crisis. Though a “Burnham bounce” based largely on popular loathing for Keir Starmer, whose exit now seems tied to the Manchester mayor’s availability to replace him, suggest Labour would be favourites to win a Makerfield by-election should Burnham indeed be the candidate, even he is only narrowly ahead of Reform. A Reform win is a plausible outcome and would leave Labour with even fewer options than it has right now, besides reasserting the rise of intolerant nationalism as the dominant theme in British politics. Robinson has chosen his demo date not to unite the kingdom of course but to maximise divisions by facing off against the annual Nakba demonstration, commemorating the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes during the establishment of the state of Israel and demanding the UN-recognised right of return denied them and their descendants ever since.

PSL and other "woke" groups are tied to a Chinese linked porkie. So it's all complicated. I assume that they're hedging their bets and playing both sides.

I don't understand USAian rural culture. But I'm not against rural pandering. I feel like they could do better than Haz but whatever.

there's gonna be a lot of cope here when the arab states begin normalising relations with israel again
while the wars still going

>>2810965
as the isolation of becoming a pariah state sets in the best and brightest citizens will leave the country when the opportunity arises. It will be a population fascist supremacist thugs and inbred haredi moochers.

the more that happens the more the IDF keeps getting kited into asymetric skirmishing which is disasterous for them. they also fail at missile defense. time is not on their side really. the thing about the zionazis is that they aren't esactly clever just very well sponsored and that could turn on a fucking dime.

>>2813881
it's going to be harder to normalize relationships with israel if the US gets the fuck out of the middle east lol

>Scouting and clearing routes before you move down them is nothing all that difficult to figure out
A track plan is a designated route for entering and leaving the patrol base. The two main purposes are to minimize the visibility of foot traffic from the air, and so that your sentries know from what direction to expect friendlies to enter and leave the base. Congrats, you got shot by your own buddies because you went to take a piss at night and didn't follow a track plan when coming back. Seriously man, do you think an infantry course is just lessons on how to brutalized civilians and not how to actually fight?
>I've read the same books you have
Books are important, but reading about something doesn't mean you can do it. It requires actual practice.

i don't care about your abstract notions of justice you fuckwit, i care about defeating the bourgeoisie. the idea that torture has any utility is bourgeois ideology.

absolutely not. get a grip.

>Because it is an obsolete theory in the age of desalination plants.

Not true. If you had RTFA, then you would know that desalination is for supplementing drinking water, not for industrial, agricultural, and commercial processes. It's also more relevant now than in the 20th century because of climate change and the population explosion in the region. Really sick of >current year being passed off as an argument.

>because they're not really european anymore, they're a result of mongrelization that took place on american continent
Then they should all go back to the original territory of the 13 Colonies. It's also nonsensical to think that there was no cultural blending that took place as a result of Russian colonialism in Eurasia just like what took place through English colonialism in America.
>so did soviets and tzarist as previously stated
Stated falsely. Tsarist policies were chauvinist and assimilationist (as was typical of European empires of the time), they were not genocidal. There was no premeditated Russian plan to murder the entire Polish intelligentsia, forcibly sterilize millions of others, make it illegal to render them medical aid, work millions more to death, and scatter the remainder to Siberia with the deliberate intention that they cease to exist as a people. I've provided a source for this in relation to the Germans, if there is any Russian equivalent then feel free to prove it.
>but in that case russians are to be considered even more of a historical enemies of poles becasue historically they've given us a lot more grief
Again this is based on nothing. There is nothing the Russians did to Poland that the Germans are not also guilty of, plus much, much worse.

>>2814594
>There is nothing the Russians did to Poland that the Germans are not also guilty of
that is true, the difference is the centuries of peace between poland and germany while russia has ceaselessly tried to invade eastern europe
which is why poles would seek alliance including germans over one with russian which is what started this whole spat
there's no point continuing this discussion i'm not going to change your mind about the rest either way and you are not going to change mine

>>2814608
>that is true, the difference is the centuries of peace between poland and germany while russia has ceaselessly tried to invade eastern europe
Yeah well I guess it's easy to have peace in a country when you've partitioned it out of existence.

>>2814612
nice zinger now check who the other participants are

>>2814618
The difference I'm not under any delusion that Russia was an empire that preyed upon its weaker neighbours. You're the one making false claims that Germany didn't do the same.
