Keep it.

I made fun of the red shambhala edits but decided to make one because I'm a hypocrite

>>2586781
This is good red Shambhala work anon, I like the two rings going opposite to each other and that music makes it a nice little loop

>>2586173
here, i fixed it. what do you guys think?

>>2586562
This is an extremely naïve, optimistic and ultimately reformist position. The waning of American imperial influence through global development means only makes the descent of the US into civil war more likely

I have no issue with people using anecdotal experience as a support for a larger argument. It personalizes the speaker, gives a concrete example and help ties them to an audience. But as you pointed out some people take that too far and then point towards the anecdote as THE argument and evidence in-itself.
The anecdote in particular should not be used in countries that don't have socialism because there was no successful revolution that happened. Meaning the standpoint of everyone from that country doesn't have experience of the thing they are arguing about. Then it becomes the blind leading the blind.
Theory on the other hand is like a walking stick so the blind people will have something to help keep them from drowning in a river. If the theory is correct then the lack of experience with revolution is limited in importance.

>are all simply liberal reforms with no real positive effect on the working class?
They have a positive impact if they force capitalists to give more to the working class than before. In practice though it just moves workers around in a zero sum way with the disadvantage of deepening division. If someone gets fired and they see that their replacement got hired simply because of their identity it will anger most. It also reinforces the imposed identity of the person fired funny enough. After all they got fired specifically for their identity.

Guys standpoint epistemology regards oppressed and marginalized people who might have experiences that cannot be accounted for or fully understood without understanding the subjectivity of those people. It's not for you americans to seethe about how we don't understand your super unique and unknowable way of life (that we're all exposed to through your cultural imperialism every hour of every day) and therefor cannot make comments on the conditions in America lol

>>2586870
Civil war is a symptom of weakness stoopid

>>2586877
Yeah, that's what I said

>"I love seeing workers being killed by capitalist states!"
Having Machado go around doing interviews and shit, saying the quiet part aloud with that ecstasy of hers she gets, describing the most ghoulish things cannot possibly have helped. Like, they were doing fine selling the "Venezuela is a police state and the people yearn for freedom" shtick. That way eventually the violence to regime change can be justified and they can escalate. They can take sides and claim to be righteous.

But now they have the "Nobel Peace Prize" lady, telling everybody it's about how prifitable stealing Venezuelan natural resources will be *for the USA* and her being a US plant and *loving* Israel. Then she starts yapping about Maduro being Hamas and Hezbollah controlling the Caribbean drug trade and Venezuela stealing the US elections and then some more off the cuff shit about Cuba as this shadowy puppeteer behind all the left in the continent… concentrated gusano stuff that loses the normies, even if they really really want to believe.

Baffling how the USA played this

The got this guy "now": Hugo Carvajal

(This guy will literally say anything about anyone to save his neck)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Carvajal

>Hugo Armando Carvajal Barrios, nicknamed El Pollo ("The Chicken")[1] (born 1960), is a Venezuelan diplomat and retired general. He was the head of the military intelligence in Venezuela during Hugo Chávez's government, from July 2004 to December 2011.[2] Carvajal was arrested in Spain on 12 April 2019 based on an arrest warrant from the United States for 2011 drug trafficking charges.[3][4]
>After the Spanish courts approved his extradition to the United States Carvajal went into hiding. On 26 March 2020, the U.S. Department of State offered $10 million for information to bring him to justice in relation to drug trafficking and narco-terrorism.[5]
>In 2021 he was arrested in Madrid[6] and was extradited two years later to the United States.[7] In 2025, he pled guilty to all criminal charges.[8][9]

Why those specifically? Are they tax havens? The Vatican is more of a political entity than a country, anyway. Fuck do they trade?

more cope kino dropped

>>2586858

>>2586861
>Montenegro
>inconsequential
Montenegro is proud ancient giga nation very strong big country please spend your euros here thx

look at this shit

I think he's more overrated than Rosa.

>>2586706
hate is too strong of a word
I think his contribution was marginal at best: most of it is just vibes and ramblings. it's like adorno and such, whenever someone mentions them I just turn my brain off and put that person in my list of idiots

People were upset about that one essay he wrote saying that prostitution was good and young Italian men needed to fuck prostitutes. I can't find it ATM but it wasn't translated into English.

>fake labubu
material explanation?

Sounsd like the coup is failing, like the soldiers just took a T.V. station and forgot about the other stuff.

Coup thwarted. France wins this time.

>>2586795
Sankarabros I don't feel so good…. :(

We can never have nice things

>>2586795
I mean it's not impossible there is another one later on, Coups are becoming more and more frequent in the area

>>2586818
the british uniform is a suit.

Actually this reminds me. While I have no problem dunking on Farage, The Farage teenage racist thing is such a media towards Corbyn level attack. "Edgelord teenager in the 1960s made racist jokes and sang racist songs". Wow, like 99.9% of people at the time did?
I can already see the attacks made on Millennial politicians 20 years from now "He called things gay and called people faggots and retarded when he was in high school in 1998!" wow, like 99.9% of people including gay people did? Racist jokes and racist songs were pretty normal things people did when I was in school in 1990s as well.
It feels like Woke has been around forever, but it's largely only a 2010s trend.

based populace?

>>2586848
its obviously a mixture of both

>>2586849
well it says 'mainly'

>>2586848
anyway nvm they're cringe. sad how people can be sheepdogged into war so easily

>>2586185
Their families probably fled the country and probably ended up somewhere in California

>>2586185
That was the outfit everyone wore then.

>Theravada Buddhism subsisted with no major shocks or rifts to the established religious order for several hundred years
Wtf is he on about, that's not true? What about Rama IV's Dhammayuttika Nikaya reformation, for example, and so on.

Did democratic Kampuchea do anything wrong?

reposting because i fucked up some formatting
>>2586320
not sure about that, might as well just have been killed after the initial separation (families were deliberately separated and worked in different parts of the country, or in mobile brigades all across it), or reunited after a while.
>vidrel for cambodian live tv show reuniting families after the dust settled down

>>2586345
trve which is why i supposed they might be just country children however child soldiers were such a common occurrence at the time

>>2586356
i suppose he meant its survival only, i agree the wording is pretty poor if that's what he wanted to convey
also a somewhat relevant paper:
>The monastic order in Cambodia has been divided into two fraternities (nikaya) since 1855 when King Norodom imported the newly-formed Thommayut (dhamayutika nikaya) from Thailand through the agency of Maha Pan, a Khmer monk belonging to King Mongkut’s spiritual lineage. Norodom subsequently had Wat Botum Vaddey constructed, according to the demarcation ritual (nadisima) of the newly formed order, adjacent to the new royal palace in Phnom Penh as the headquarters of the new order and Maha Pan was subsequently installed as its sanghareach (Meas Yang 1978, 38).
>In Thailand the introduction of the new order had passed off without opposition. This was not the case in Cambodia where frequent skirmishes between Mohanikay and Thommayut monks seem to have occurred with some regularity (Bizot 1976, 9). The influence of the colonial power may have been a factor here since the French regarded the Mohanikay, particularly those belonging to its reformed wing, to exercise a beneficial influence on the populace and towards the protectorate. Thommayut monks, on the other hand, were regarded as potentially intransigent, not least because it was thought that they owed their allegiance to the Thai court (Forest 1980, 143).
