Meet Paul Singer, the Billionaire Trump Megadonor Set to Make a Killing on Venezuela Oil
While he declined to tell members of Congress, Trump has said he tipped off oil executives before the illegal attack. At a press conference following the attack, he said the US would have “our very large United States oil companies” go into Venezuela, which he said the US will “run” indefinitely, and “start making money” for the United States.

New tool allows Californians to request data brokers delete personal details
Californians can now use a government website to request that certain companies stop selling their personal information online. The Drop website, which stands for Delete Request and Opt-Out Platform, launched on New Year’s Day as part of a state law aimed at enhancing data privacy. The Drop tool sends a mass deletion request to 500 data brokers, the term for companies which collect and sell personal information gleaned from public records, phone data, online web browsing and a host of other activities.

Turkey’s Brazil-Style Lawfare Means Harder Authoritarianism
On December 17, a court struck down the protest bans imposed after the arrest of Istanbul mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu back in March. Weeks earlier, prosecutors had finalized an indictment meant to keep İmamoğlu, the leading opposition figure, jailed indefinitely. Together they show a system under strain, making parallel use of repression and legal tactics to entrench its control. Turkey is now a frontline case of lawfare: the weaponized use of the judiciary to political ends. If the jailing of Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva revealed the damage that lawfare can do to the democratic process, Turkey shows how far it can go in hardening authoritarian rule. Left unchecked, it will not remain an exception but set a precedent for attacks on democracy elsewhere. The Lula blueprint is now being reproduced against İmamoğlu, the center-left challenger to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in a harsher authoritarian setting. In today’s Turkey, lawfare has expanded beyond a way of managing the opposition into a means of recalibrating the state itself. İmamoğlu is the presidential nominee for the Republican People’s Party (CHP), which after the 2024 local elections overtook Erdoğan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) for the first time in decades. Throughout 2025, national polls placed İmamoğlu ahead of Erdoğan, making his party one of the largest center-left forces across Europe and the Middle East. The severity of the shift from electoral competition to criminal prosecution is visible even outside the courtroom. Authorities have banned the display of İmamoğlu’s posters and the circulation of campaign materials, treating his visibility as a security risk.

U.S. intervention in Venezuela: A link in the chain of rivalries for primacy in the global imperialist system
The U.S. intervention in Venezuela constitutes the culmination of a months-long escalation of U.S. aggression against the country and, more broadly, across the entire “theatre” of Latin and Central America. The intensifying U.S.–China rivalry for primacy within the international imperialist system, the strategic importance of Latin America as a trade corridor and repositorPost too long.

I wish we'd get some good news for once.

tybna even though your news usually make me want to rip my hair out

Yet another american leftists are secretly liberals thread

>>2628602
Antideutsche are German chauvinists in denial.
They believe that Germans are united in their collective "guilt" for doing the Holocaust and that the German people are morally superior because of said "guilt".
I don't know if the same can be said about the Landback movement.

>>2628679
>le ancestry
you are presuming it would be justified if le ancestry was there, a fact zionists exploit in order to defeat your shitty argument, the better response is that it is a state driven by an ideology that at the very least requires hypermilitarism and mass expulsion, leading up to genocide if they fight back too much

>>2628689
how would you even define "historic"? continuous population presence? if that's interrupted, how far does that go back?

>>2628673
>Israel is endgame Sakaism, yes.
Not really, more like the Khmer Rouge.

This. Really, it doesn't matter if today's Jews actually did descend from the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Israel and Judah; they still don't have the right to force Palestinians out of their farms and houses at gunpoint to build American-style suburbs.

>>2628747
>Americans are too wealthy to support communism.
False
>That's why they are rapidly embracing nazism.
Fascism rises in economic crisis. You are contradicting yourself
>the suburbanite middle class finance company "worker"
Projecting ghosts
>Nobody wants to face the truth that americans and canadians are deeply sympathetic to billionaires, "entrepreneurs" and being superior to poors and browns.
Not all. Too bad for you tho. I survied the wave of SJWs undermining socialists. I will survive the wave of multipolaroids geopolitic hooligans.

go talk to homeless people and you’ll find people who are in favor of revolution pretty quick, the problem is that if you’re homeless you don’t really have the stability to be involved in any organization let alone buy the material things you’d need for revolution.

>>2628929
Careful! He is gonna think of the stereotypical homeless and start barking about muh lumpen. When many people hat are homeless actually do work.

The cool burger left all died in shootouts with the police in the 70s. America needs to bring back lead in gasoline.

This thread is not to discuss current events but rather Maduro's history and politics.

Can you point which thread it was? If not, go fuck yourself you retard. Boohoo a thread in an imageboard died. Suck my cock

Maduro did nothing wrong. The amerikans snatched him up Communist China was helping Venezuela.

They don't even seem to be banning anything queer, rainbow is just a general symbol over there and not a banner in defiance of abrahamic capitalism since there is neither over there. Results in it being used less, but that depreciation, not banning.

I love her so much bro

perfect mommy

What do you mean, Genshin got the coolest black woman of all vidoegames.

I want to cum inside Anita Sarkessian, while she calls me sexist gooner pig that plays Chinese gachas.

Interesting 🤔

It's a bit weeaboo although I like the Chinese take on furry aesthetics more than USAian culture.

Do you have any more recs? I guess I like the hard gay and leather sort of aesthetic more. Lesbian hard gay is kind of rare though in general. Not exactly interested in the masc aesthetic though. It's hard to explain ig.

prove any of my points wrong, I'm not even pro capital or trying to demoralize, but please prove me wrong.

this is actually 100% compatible with marxism.

The ayatolah is next in line, one leader fell with a helicopter, the next will be carried away in one.

The US is the way, and the truth, every country that stood against it fell, the USSR, Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Venezuela, now Iran and soon China, its not too late to change sides btw.

How do euros feel? They want to become a US colony while also kicking out their immigrants. Euros have no national pride beyond just wanting to remove the brown folks, European subhumans have zero patriotic pride, I want to point out that patriotism is distinct from nationalism. Europeans don’t care about being a Swede or Norwegian or German etc. they would sooner have their state collapse into chaos than have any patriotic pride to keep their nation sovereign. Sovereignty means nothing to Europeans. True patriotism is what you see in Americans (except with Israel, since Americans believe Israel is synonymous with America) and Turkey or Greece, they have strong sovereign pride, aka patriotism.

Most weird nationalist drivel I've ever read

Fear? Maybe, but not the “I will listen to what you say” kind of fear and more like the “holy shit, we need to arm ourselves against these maniacs” kind of fear given the type of responses most of the planet just had to this shitshow.

Also with the situation in Libya and the Sahel situation slowly escalating, there is a good chance Saif Gaddafi gets power in Libya again. If Gaddafi gets back into power, that will be the most proof that the empire is a paper tiger and can only do so much before having internal instability

No, as capitalism contradictions are something capitalists themselves can't resolve, it's a ticking time bomb

The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy in the universe inevitably increases. Over vast timescales, this leads to heat death: maximum entropy, uniform temperature, no energy gradients. All differences, physical, chemical, and even societal (rooted in resource and information disparities) will eventually dissolve into equilibrium.

All my posts are always serious. You just have to put your bias aside and take it at face value.

>Because the entire system ran informally on corruption, nobody wanted to stop it
That's not true. There were a few people in leadership that were against corruption, and were ascetic, but I agree with the structural argument overall.

>>2627170
>Besides, answer D is a shitty explanation. Yes, the USSR did loose a lot of money on foreign entanglement
Why do you completely ignore the wars that were fought on its own territory and essentially wrecked the country two times? The american civil war is laughable in comparison.
