The intellectual property of this striking title belongs to Yunus Emre Erdölen, one of the writers of "Freedom ." I congratulate him. Before continuing, as is our custom, I will attempt to delve into the roots of some words. Words are the building blocks of understanding, thinking, and generating ideas. Correct ideas are constructed with the right words. The original meaning of words changes over time. More accurately, people ascribe meanings to them that suit their convenience. Because humans are economic. One form of economic behavior is not taking responsibility for things you cannot do. "Elhamdulillah " does not mean "Thank God," but "I praise God ." This translation was made by the literary scholar Hamdullah Suphi (1885-1966). He took the Turkish equivalent of the Arabic name "Hamdullah" (Turkish: Tanrıöver) as his surname. Hamt(d) is derived from the root "h, m, d." It means praise or exaltation. Muhammad (Mehmet), Ahmed, Mahmut, and so on, all come from this root. Gratitude does not come from the same root. The English equivalent of "Elhamdulillah " is "Praise (the) God ." Hallelujah also has the same meaning. The prophets told their believers, "Do not deify yourself, anyone, or me by praising or boasting, but praise Almighty God ." They added, "The rules of life (the sharia) I have communicated are not my commandments, but God's." Thus, they did not assume the responsibility of rewarding those who adhere to the rules they communicated and punishing those who do not. This attitude is rational, that is, economic. In another article, I will discuss the economic aspects of the expressions "salamun aleykum" and "aleykum selam."

Talal Silo to Rudaw: I am ready to return to the ranks of the SDF through negotiation.
Talal Silo, the former spokesman for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), expressed his readiness to return to the SDF ranks "through negotiation or humanitarian work aimed at preventing war" with Damascus, stressing that he is still in contact with leading figures in the SDF for the purpose of reassurance and friendship.

Salou defected from the Syrian Democratic Forces in 2017, heading to areas controlled by the Free Army factions north of Aleppo at that time, and then left for Türkiye.

Silo, who was given the rank of "colonel," indicated his refusal to play an "offensive" role against the Syrian Democratic Forces, noting that he is currently "threatened" by Ankara.

During the interview with Rudaw, conducted by presenter Dilbakhwin Dara, he confirmed his readiness to visit areas of northern and eastern Syria, such as the cities of Qamishli, Hasakah and Raqqa, provided that there are “special arrangements to preserve his life,” expressing his desire to settle in the Kurdish city of Afrin because it is “beautiful and its people are hospitable.”

Below is the text of the dialogue:

Rudaw: We welcome Colonel Talal Silo, the former spokesperson for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). He later defected and went to Turkey, a move that sparked much controversy and reaction, but he did not wish to antagonize the SDF. Now, he has returned to the forefront with his interviews and statements. I felt it was important at this sensitive time to conduct a special interview with him. My guest is Colonel Talal Silo, the former spokesperson for the Syrian Democratic Forces, from Aleppo. Welcome, Colonel, I hope you are well. Before you became the SDF spokesperson, after you left, and even now, I have been following you closely. I want to start with the final question: Are you prepared to return to the ranks of the SDF?

The Damascus administration is alleged to have handed over 'Uyghur jihadists' to China.
According to the report, a diplomatic source stated that the number of people to be handed over was 400 jihadists.

It is known that tens of thousands of foreign “jihadists” flocked to Syria, especially through Türkiye, during the civil war between 2011 and 2024.

A Syrian government source, who asked to remain anonymous due to sensitivity, said the situation of Uyghur fighters was raised in meetings with Foreign Minister Assad al-Shabani in China.

It remains unknown whether such a step will be taken. The interim government's actions to date raise serious questions. Since the beginning of the Syrian war, tens of thousands of foreigners have flocked to Syria, particularly to join groups affiliated with ISIS and al-Qaeda.

In June, it was reported that the US had conditionally approved a plan prepared by Syria's new government to integrate thousands of former foreign jihadists into the national army. US President Donald Trump's special envoy for Syria, Thomas Barrack, stated that Washington had given the green light on the condition that the process be conducted with "full transparency."

It was stated that within the scope of the plan, approximately 3,500 foreign "warriors" of Uyghur origin, mostly from China and surrounding countries, would join the newly established 84th Division of the Syrian Army.

When asked by Reuters in Damascus, “Does the US approve of the inclusion of foreign fighters in the new Syrian army?” Thomas Barrack responded, “I can say that there is an agreement based on transparency.”

>He emphasized his concern for China’s security interests and affirmed that Syria will not be a source of threat to China, nor will it allow any entities to use its territory for activities that could harm China’s security, sovereignty, or interests.

This is probably referring to uyghur jihadists in Syria.

Why isn't China funneling money to combat anti-communist propaganda in the west? Or anti-chinese propaganda? Or anything like that? All they do is whine about the confucious institute but its clearly not doing jackshit since sinophobia and anti-communism continue to be rampant. Where are the think tanks? Why aren't they financing channels to screw over the algorhytmn? Why? If they're doing something or anything at all its not enough. Anywhere east of Russia is generally an anti-communist shithole that holds no respect for China and millions of citizens brainwashed into pro-American slopaganda about how China's "stealing technology from the US", "China is totalitarian surveillence undemocratic state when west is freedumz n freeze peach", "Russia aggressor 2022 Putin dictator" "Hummus antisemitism". Why is China letting this retardation continue? Its only fueling the retardation war machine and conditioning the retarded to die for retardation. Why come China is just letting anti-chinese and anti-communist propaganda flood the internet? China is literally winning on all grounds except propaganda, why hasn't it solidified its global importance by financing anti-western sentinment? Why do we have to be forced to listen and see all this retarded bullshit and argue with it to no avail when China has the power to finance cointel to win the information war?

Why not nationalize merchant capital? It seems like a perfectly reasonable liberal democratic reform that is easily achievable under capitalism. The same way the government takes care of roads it should take care of staffing, education, commuting, communications, shipping, retail and logistics of all sorts. Industry should focus on making goods and providing services and not on costs like staffing, training skilled workers and shipping goods. All that stuff is pure overhead which is best nationalized. Picture unrelated.

For one big example, Look at all that had to happen for the Bolsheviks to succeeded
>WW1
>Nicholas making the decision to go to the front line to lead the troops
>The February Revolution
>Kerensky re-entering Russia into WW1
>Kerensky's government collapsing because he tried to orchestrate a coup on himself and then double crossed the Army by arming red militias in petrograd
>The liberals giving the Bolsheviks(among other parties) guns to help stop the Army from overthrowing the provisional government.
>The other socialist parties(which were more popular) believing Lenin would reinstall the constituent assembly
>When the SRs did rise up they refused to execute captured bolshevik officers or do much of anything.
>When the Petrograd sailors rebelled they sat on their island printing newspapers hoping that the people of Russia would realize Lenin was a big meaniehead and get rid of him.

Obviously the future is not a wide-open blank slate where anything can happen. Even massive upheavals like the First World War had observable conditions. But the way it unfolded(with Belgium being invaded and Britain, followed by America, entering the conflict) was due to random chances and the decisions of a handful of individuals.

Why is China willingly wasting it's time and resources with the AI thing rather than continuing to develop the productive forces while they're still ahead?

Is the idea that they can lead the west into going all-in on something fruitless with the knowledge that China can tank the damage, merely leading the AI race to get the west to hurdle faster at it? Like the AI race is a tunnel painted on a brick wall? Why would western tech companies knowingly charge into a brick wall like that? Like I know they're stupid but surely not that stupid.

not too sure if this is a /leftypol/ or /tech/ thing, sorry.

>bans Kendrick but not this

a robust computer industry means ready access and easy production of high-tech military equipment like missile guidance systems, drones, electronic warfare equipment, etc., and if nothing else, 'AI' investing will ensure that computers and hardware are supported industries.

additionally, it is possible that a relatively sane society like china can find genuine uses for LLM tech. imagine if american technology wasn't led by idiots like Musk and Altman, but instead by qualified people with at least some education in marxist and related theory.

for example, while i don't think 'AI' should necessarily replace all human operation of vehicles, it would be useful to control more complicated aspects of certain vehicles or other equipment. for a fun sci fi example, something like a small mech or larger powered armor would likely need some kind of automatic limb control for basic walking and movement, while a pilot (or a program if you are anthro-pessimistic) designates directions or waypoint coordinates. Your only other option is some kind of brain-machine interface for something like that. for a more realistic modern example, many fighter jets have computerized systems handle the finer details of the maneuvering of the plane, keeping it stable and reacting reliably to control inputs, while the human pilot applies guidance via the control stick and various buttons etc.

meanwhile americans just use new tech to generate low quality goon material and lobster jesus facebook memes to scam the elderly with.

behind all the "AI" hype nonsense there are actual useful products like better automatic translation and machine vision to help with tasks like >>2563313

>By the spring of 2024, a newly sober Isenberg felt like she could finally stop performing all the time and just be herself, a complex human being who was still learning. She planned to spend the summer living with her parents while saving up money. In the fall, she would become the first person in her family to attend a four-year college. Then she got pregnant.

>The news brought a “sense of dread,” says Isenberg. Her first thought was strong and immediate: I’m not going to have a baby. After a friend had described having an abortion, Isenberg’s own mindset had started to shift. She’d begun to think of herself as pro-choice. It wouldn’t be the end of the world, she thought, if I had an abortion. This is something I’m allowed to do.


>It may seem strange that Isenberg would reach out to Turner in this moment. But she was feeling stressed, sick, and confused and wanted to have a backup plan just in case she didn’t go through with the abortion. She knew Turner—who’d also recently left PAAU but whose politics were growing more, not less, conservative—would try to talk her out of it, but she’d also recently seen Turner using her social media platforms to raise money for pregnant women and mothers in need. Isenberg had less than $100 in her bank account. If she changed her mind, she would be in dire need of financial help.


>“I was also thinking, This is Kristin Turner, the girl I was friends with,” remembers Isenberg. “I wasn’t thinking, She is acting as a vessel for people who are much more powerful than her.”


>Turner put Isenberg in touch with an organization that gave money to women with “crisis pregnancies.” She also asked for Isenberg’s address so she could send her a care package and promised a McDonald’s breakfast if Isenberg agreed to get her ultrasound at a crisis pregnancy center instead of the Charlotte Planned Parenthood (Isenberg declined the latter).


>Isenberg expected Turner and members of PAAU to offer her “counseling” and a lecture on the psychological impacts of abortion and how carrying out a pregnancy is a “nonviolent choice.” She assumed they’d ask their Instagram followers to “say a prayer for my friend who’s chosen the heartbreak of abortion,” as she’d once posted for others. But she believed that in the end, they’d respect he

Those “socialist” abortion bans were also miserable failures. Infant mortality during the Soviet ban skyrocketed. Half of all maternal deaths in Hoxha’s Albania were caused by illegal abortions. This is in spite of both countries having free healthcare, housing, and childcare like PAAU wants.

Also, Maria Mies points out that the pro-Natalie’s policies in the Soviet Bloc countries caused a lot of resentment among the women of those nations. As men got more leisure time due to technology making their jobs more efficient, women often found themselves working two — or sometimes three — jobs since they were expected to be mothers to a lot of children inside the home AND build up the productive forces outside the home. So, when the USSR re-legalized abortion, Soviet women began aborting like crazy because they didn’t want to put in all the work raising a bunch of kids, especially when the men were never expected to sacrifice their leisure time to do the same.

>Those “socialist” abortion bans were also miserable failures. Infant mortality during the Soviet ban skyrocketed. Half of all maternal deaths in Hoxha’s Albania were caused by illegal abortions.
this is true and i agree the results were more of a failure, i suppose that in stalin's case at least part of the decision was also both a lack of foresight stemming from idealism/overestimation of concrete advancements in the material conditions of soviet parents and no similar experiences of making abortion illegal again given it being once legal and state-sponsored, which would demonstrate the inevitable RETVRN to illegal abortions. can't speak about hoxha's case being influenced by not having similar experiences in socialist states however

>This is in spite of both countries having free healthcare, housing, and childcare like PAAU wants.

this is even more ridiculous from PAAU, an organization in 21st century that is not only completely able to look back at the past experiments of various other countries under different economic systems, but has also NOT provided yet any of the "wants" stated despite abortion already being outlawed

>So, when the USSR re-legalized abortion, Soviet women began aborting like crazy because they didn’t want to put in all the work raising a bunch of kids, especially when the men were never expected to sacrifice their leisure time to do the same.

wasn't medical abortion also used as a kind of birth control before widespread contraception measures being available?

PAAU claims to be intersectional feminists or some shit. So, not MLS but liberals and SocDems. You can just take a look at their IG page @PAAUnow to get a glimpse of what they believe and how stupid their overall ideology is.
