“India” is a Fake country created by the British Empire with absolutely Zero Ethnic/National/Linguistic basis that completely fails to meet Stalin’s definition of the Nation as “a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture”, due to the fact that for the vast majority of its history, the territory that is today called “India” was made up of dozens of Feudal Kingdoms due to the massive Ethno-Linguistic and Genetic/Racial diversity of South Asia, which is largely a mixture of mostly Caucasoid Indo-Aryans in the North and partially Australoid Dravidians in the South, with the former being descended from Indo-European migrations to the subcontinent 3500 years ago, and latter being the remnants of the Indus Valley Civilization that mixed with indigenous Veddid Australoid Hunter-Gatherers (This is seen in the Second and Third of the 4 In-depth Charts of Autosomal DNA Ancestry Components associated with various Indo-European Ethno-Linguistic groups/subdivisions (ie. Germanic, Slavic, Italic/Romance, Celtic, Baltic, Graeco-Albanian/Balkanic, Armenian, Iranian, Indo-Aryan, etc.) across various Indo-European and Non-Indo-European speaking populations in Europe, West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, Siberia, South Africa, and the Americas, in comparison to various Autosomal DNA Ancestry Components associated with Non-Indo-European Ethno-Linguistic groups/subdivisions, along with a Chart of the Autosomal DNA Ancestry Makeup of each of the Indo-European and Non-Indo-European Ethno-Linguistic groups/subdivisions shown in the first 4 Charts, based on the proportion of Indo-European Steppe and Non-Steppe Autosomal DNA Ancestry Components, with all of these charts coming from the same video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FJaTRFojJg of “The History of Indo-European Peoples, Languages and Ancestry from 5000 BC to 2025 AD” that cites 33 Academic articles published on Population Genetics, ✊😜🧬!), with the Vedic Hindu religion built on a Racist Caste system that put Caucaosid Indo-Aryans on top (ie. The priestly Brahmins) and partially Australoid Dravidians on the bottom (ie. The “Untouchables”/Dalits), that was very similar to what the Spanish CoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Interesting point, and I actually agree somewhat. Each individual human can operate within multiple cultures and modes of customs so it's not that this "mono-culture" would erase all local subcultures or even nationalities.

And honestly I already sort of see that happening with the internet. Even the UN is playing a role in promoting universalist ethics and a shared global sense of community.

>This is the complete opposite of China which is a Nation-State that is extremely Ethnically/Linguistically/Racially Homogeneous due to it being 91% Han Chinese

I think they're lying on the census dawg. Maybe the genetic studies would prove me wrong but I highly doubt china is as "homogenous" as you say

It's probably true, but what is the explanation why land that has no Han there should be part of the same Han-ethno-state. Almost like they got conquered or something and not even settled.

you are revisionist. socialism will destroy imperialist lives to make everyone else's lives better. study lenin
<To tell the workers in the handful of rich countries where life is easier, thanks to imperialist pillage, that they must be afraid of 'too great' impoverishment, is counter-revolutionary. It is the reverse that they should be told. The labour aristocracy that is afraid of sacrifices, afraid of 'too great' impoverishment during the revolutionary struggle, cannot belong to the Party. Otherwise, the dictatorship is impossible, especially in West-European countries.

A general to compile all news, articles, essays and info related to the Greater Middle East-North Africa region.

Creating this general in an effort to centralize all the info that currently gets posted to 5 different threads concerning conflicts and developments in the MENA region. Seeing how slow they generally are and at risk of getting bumped off besides the Palestine thread and that it’s likely people interested in Yemen, Syria, Iran, Sudan and Palestine are likely also interested in news and info from across the region I think it would be useful to post everything in one place.

This will be the inaugural edition to see how it goes. Welcome!

Interesting take. You can support it after you can convince me why an organization as ratty and stuck up as the African union of all things is currently cutting off relations with UAE for attacking one of its member states and funding a genocide while other Muslim nations (not African ones since they’re doing more at this point for Sudan) are sitting on their asses and paying more money to Israel.

>>2592675
African states are just as complicit in the war the fuck are you on about. You think token aid and stunts could wash away blood? Then you must love the UAE

>>2592684
Complicit? The fuck, if it weren’t for the fact that the dickhead running the SAF is an actual convict with a history of funding violence like the one going on in that country, the AU would’ve had the right and appropriate reason to deploy AU troops there just like what they did and are still doing in Somalia so a stable government could form. Otherwise, every state surrounding Sudan is either donating volunteers and soldiers outright to protect civilians or letting refugees flee to neighbouring states (unlike a certain set of countries that couldn’t even do that little for Palestinians in recent months)

Remember to donate to Palestinian and Sudanese NGOs and boycott Israeli and Emirati products

>>2592686
>(unlike a certain set of countries that couldn’t even do that little for Palestinians in recent months)
tbf they're right that if they let palestinian refugees in israel would never allow them back in
>is either donating volunteers
what are you referring to here?

General strike in Portugal causes major disruptions in national services
Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has insisted that the labour reforms, with more than 100 measures, were intended to “stimulate economic growth and pay better salaries”. But the communist-leaning General Confederation of the Portuguese Worker (CGTP) and more moderate General Union of Workers (UGT) have lambasted the plans. The CGTP organised about 20 demonstrations across the country. Its secretary-general, Tiago Oliveira, called the reforms “among the biggest attacks on the world of work”.

Britain threatened to defund ICC over Netanyahu arrest warrant, claims prosecutor
Khan does not name the individual who made the threats, saying the call on 23 April 2024 was with a British official, but reports have suggested the caller may have been the then British foreign secretary, David Cameron. Khan said the official had argued that issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the former Israeli defence minister, was disproportionate.

Lammy refuses to meet MPs worried about constituents on hunger strike in prison
Five hunger strikers have been taken to hospital. Their lawyers warned of a “real and increasingly likely potential” their clients will die in prison on Tuesday. In his letter, Mr Corbyn said that he would seek assurances from Mr Lammy that he would take steps to protect the political prisoners’ rights. The detainees have all been charged with offences relating to alleged break-ins or criminal damage on behalf of Palestine Action, charges that are denied, before the group was banned under terrorism legislation.

60,000 multimillionaires own 3 times more wealth than half the world’s population
A new report from the World Inequality Lab, the product of four years of comprehensive research, finds that economic inequality on a world scale continues to increase by leaps and bounds, with vast wealth concentrated in a tiny handful of billionaires and centi-millionaires. As the report’s foreword declares: "The data presented here are striking. The richest 10% of the global population own close to three-quarters of all wealth, while the poorest half hold barely 2%. Fewer than 60,000 multi-millionaires now control three times more wealth than half of humanity combined. Within most countries, the bottom 50% rarely possess more than 5% of national wealth. "
The World Inequality Lab was established through efforts to investigate global inequality initially spearheaded by economists Thomas Piketty, Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez, co-authors of a series of studies on the concentration of wealth and income. According to the report, the wealthiest 0.001 percent have seen their share of the world’s wealth grow from 4 percent to 6 percent since 1995, while the bottom half of the world’s population controls only 2 percent. Multimillionaires have increased their wealth by approximately 8 percent each year over the past three decades, nearly twice the rate of the bottom half of the population.

An AI-Powered Stock Market
The stock market is, plainly, no longer simply a concern of the elite. “We like to joke that the markets are not the economy,” Peter Atwater of Financial Insyghts recently told Bloomberg, “but we’ve reached a point now where the economy is the markets.” In past articles, I’ve covered the rise and risks of retail investing for everyday Americans. To recap: a majority of Americans now own stocks; young women are the fastest growing demographic of investors; and the onset of “commission free” trading has lured millions of us into high-risk trading in speculative stocks and the derivatives market. All of this has taken place under the guise of words like access, equality, and democratization. Yet recent weeks has seen a spread of predictions of a bubble — and cracks beginning to show in the consumer economy as well as private crePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

people did this kind of thing and got HIV, which famously came from growing polio vaccines on simian pancreatic tissue in East Africa which was infected with SIV. This is why sti testing is free, so they can trace the diseases as they spread through social groups. Certain demographics use condoms and some don't. It's complicated. I don't think young people are fucking that much these days.



 

How did Tumblr come to become so insanely influential in almost every social sphere? From scenes being taken over and only really enforcing "gatekeeping" based on Tumblrs values, to Social Academia and Universities enforcing Tumblr standards on students and staff and even the funding of research, to middle management forcing proles to sit through eye rolling incoherent Tumblr course nonsense, to Pop culture largely adapting entirely to Tumblr values and IP's one after the other being turned to only really appeal to Tumblr standards, to even gigagiant evil corpos like Blackrock enforcing Tumblr nonsense through many of their funding. The left itself has largely been taken over and had it's social values and political values rewritten to place primacy on Tumblr's takes on identity, you have actual politicians running for offices that sound like a 14 year old on Tumblr in 2014.
As someone who has been pretty familiar with Tumblr trends since the late 2000s it's been wild watching often what were trends and theories that were created by teenagers, get taken out of that context, to become mass political liberal/left establishment and middle management/academia talking points. It's also been very wild watching massive franchises, just get run roughshod over with Tumblr to the point that is actually obnoxious (WotC, DnD, Star Trek, Star Wars etc).
How did Tumblr do this? Reddit is technically a bigger site but has nowhere near this influence, 4chan was a bigger site back in the day, and again, not this influence at all. So how is it that I'm watching Politicians and business leaders, spout crap that was the domain of confused larping scene kids on Tumblr a decade ago?

tumbler girlies got work in HR

It was a convenient way to have an RSS feed. Still is, unlike twitter, which sold itself on that same premise, with the additional gimmick of being able to post via texting, making an RSS feed you can update from your flip-phone, before rug pulling somewhere down the line to get people to use it through it's built-in timeline instead.
Think tumblr did the texting thing too later on but dropped it at some point.

I know that seems like a boring answer but that's really it.

<To fear “AI” as an autonomous threat is to misidentify the problem. The danger does not lie in the machine but in the class that wields that machine.

<The intellectuals and artists who fear that AI will smother individual creativity, and who oppose this technology as a threat to “intellectual property,” not only accept uncritically the bourgeois commodification of science and art but also fail to recognize that their work, so essential for human progress, can be defended only through the social struggle against all forms of capitalist property.
