I recently started reading 'Stassi State or Socialist Paradise', anyone have thoughts? I don't know nearly as much as I'd like about post-war Europe and its socialist efforts.

It's not primarily about covid or health, it's about Palestine and free speech. Supporters of these recent efforts are trying to criminalize masked protest and give the state more authority to target resistance activity.

From Forbes

Under the new bill, anyone wearing a mask or a face covering would violate the law and could be charged with a misdemeanor. The only exemptions would be individuals who wear masks or face coverings for health or religious reasons.

How do you think authorities will regularly utilize the health exemption for wearing a mask in public? I'd imagine, given the history of police proclivities and their own comments, they will use it to selectively target the usual suspects and anyone raising a fuss about genocide, about war, police brutality etc.

Beijing’s policy biases also paint a bleak picture for consumption going forward. The take-up of electric vehicles (EVs) and investment in high-speed rail have blunted Chinese demand for petrol, which is set to peak by 2025, the International Energy Agency said in June."

You weren't joking. Bleak for who, Bloomberg!?

And the policy bias bs. The children of China crave the refreshing vapors of car pollution and the evil ccp is taking it aways from them.

Cool that he used this as an opportunity to educate about the integration of nazis into leadership of West Germany, nato, amerika, anti-communist terror groups etc., and, among great powers, the Soviet Union was the only entity to denazify European territory after victory.

Yeah, and the western terrorists still possess the world's largest nuclear arsenal. We're talking about weapons relevant to a prolonged war against a force capable of defending its airspace. We're talking about weapons relevant to actual war, not terror campaigns against guerrillas and comparably poorly equipped freedom fighters. Wtf are you talking about?

Someone's camera tripod is not well aligned... oh wait, those gentlemen should retreat from that dangerously sloped roof!

I'm not a bot, but here is my simplified version of this article. "Planned economy managed by a peoples party keeps winning despite challenges including western efforts at containment."

I think one of the elements you're missing here is that not even "liberals" expect any meaningful condemnation of violence from the right. It is specifically the democrats who veil themselves in progressive language and claim to support human rights and oppose war all the while committing genocide. This meme correctly identifies the chauvinistic hypocrisy of the democrats.

Honestly, any youtube comment section that isn't merely a fascist cesspool, is an oasis.

Wow. I am shocked the Yemeni military were not able to sink a US aircraft carrier moving with a group of military ships but were able to strike and cause fires on singular trade ships, shocked.

In both cases they were acting in opposition to genocide, so I hope they have better luck in the future.

I hate it when my wunderwaffe undergoes emergency unplanned disassembly before it even gets to kill any civilians.

The Putin regime failed to annex all of Europe, settling for a largely symbolic victory over Ukraine.
