christ I hope some of those people are alright

edit: in the sense that it sounds like a bad accident

yes I saw and appreciated that analysis, I wondered whether the last 24 hours and/or markets opening have had an impact on your view of the impact on the wider economy in the short to medium term

Goldman is apparently warning about spillover as of 10 minutes ago on ft.com

yes I think the demonstrative efficiency gains of the deepseek model put a big question mark behind nvidia’s valuation, as the main hardware supplier of the “AI revolution”

undoubtedly, I’m simply wondering whether this will trigger a wider economic crisis now or later

what do you think so far yog? correction? or something more?

my hatred for keir “my daddy was a tool” stürmer knows no bounds

I was too young for the first and I truly believe that observing what is going on now is a catastrophe for my personal humanity and I hope I can live my life in such a way as to educate and agitate against the forces that facilitated this disgusting farce

comrade, it pains me that you have had to witness both and I wish us and those who read this much resilience and strength going forward

I understand your point completely, it was simply not the focus of the point I was making in my comment

however what you say bears repeating and I have nothing against that whatsoever

edit: by analagous I was trying to refer simply to the parallels in global public condemnation, not any strict empirical comparison in defined terms

the iraq war was a war of aggression involving a litany of further crimes against humanity

what is happening in gaza is a genocide

but I hope my comment can still be understood as I intended it

…

I will never forget/forgive what capital has done here

For the generation I suspect is most represented here this must be analagous to an earlier cohort watching the iraq war trample overwhelming global public opinion in 2003

to those who are feeling overwhelmed as I have often felt in the past year, please remember to take a step back when you need to, resilience is the name of the game in my view, self destruction in the face of disaster helps no one (when I say this I am also wrestling with myself, I don’t mean to say this is an easy thing)

edit: please watch “No Other Land” when it becomes available to you and you feel up to it, it is about an Israeli and a Palestinian in a West Bank village called Massafer Yatta before Oct. 7 23, education is agitation & praxis

i suppose that’s a particular studio?

but in what way is fascism reflected in the porn? like uniforms or what? im struggling to conceptualise it lol

wtf? is fascist gay porn really as big of a thing as you imply here?

as a straight im suddenly very curious about the cultural history of fascist aesthetics in gay porn

what an unmitigated disaster

pretty sure it’s Ted Postol*, the guy spelled it wrong in his youtube title

they definitely only started questioning it weeks after the home front collapse accelerated and their creative offensive stalled

I can’t stand this shit ass reporting, at least put some effort into your dumb fuck narrative twists

clown

But isn’t so much journalism nowadays characterised by unsubstantiated speculation? (i.e. propaganda, if not simply clickbait filler pretending analysis)

It seems to me your criticism amounts essentially to your dislike of the thesis of this piece. This can be legitimate, but not what you’ve argued here.

Isn’t this piece an example of precisely the supposed promise of the internet, in the sense that journalism becomes democratised and anyone can publish and disseminate analysis, which can be evaluated on its merits rather than institutional validation and inertia based on opaque criteria? (I would of course argue the aggregated needs of capital, but I won’t force that in)

what the fuck are you talking about

This is good analysis, but begs the question: why the government has not and does not protect workers to the extent that it could/should? Who has an interest in weak workplace protections for workers?

If the government is bad on worker’s rights it is because it is a government run by and for capitalists. The state is consistently instrumentalised by the capitalist class to hamstring labour’s bargaining power to suppress wages to increase profits.

Basically that is to say: these laws are not archaic, they are in fact working as intended, the intent is simply not to support working people, it is to secure and grow profits.

edit: I just realised where this was posted, so perhaps I underestimate your familiarity with these points, but I’ll leave it up anyway in case of curious third parties

this is great, we need more agitprop in this kinda style
