I think it's just credit cards.

They definitey don't to wechatpay or alipay.

But I bet there are other ways to get funds to African Stream if you contact them about it.

They're on Patreon.

As soon as I found out they were susended I went over to support them

The unions are part of the top legislative body.

Not if you want leftists to think they're labels that leftists came up with.

Maybe I'm paranoid. If it wasn't for OP's post history I'd be accusing, but as it is I'm just wanting people to consider who benefits from this kind of terminology being created.

"China campists" in one thread

"Beijingcap/Beijingfash" in this one

Trying to introduce language to conceptually 'other' China: cui bono?

White people before they visit Tibet: "Oh, the government requires we have a guide with us? Ohoho, is that to stop us from seeing things we shouldn't see? Is that to stop Tibetans from seeing how glorious and enlightened we are as we prance about with our unfettered freedom?"

White people coming back from Tibet: "It's a good thing we had a guide with us. They don't warn you about how thin the air is! [they do] We didn't think we'd need any help with breathing [because we assume we're better than everyone else]. Some of us would have literally died if our guide didn't arrange for oxygen tanks for our hotel rooms."

Yeah they did. Speculation: one of the videogame companies channeling funds into fusion reactor research may be the result of some bargaining over this.

Some of the sources I get news about China from are definitely not supporting China for any reason other than it’s not the US.

Is it that, or are they supporting China because it's not the US and it's playing an instrumental role in undermining US domination of global south countries?

What I mean to say is if those channels understand that the US is evil, then they have a commendable reason for supporting China.

One of them thinks the US's Xinjiang propaganda is real, one of them doesn't.

I've met so many people who think that interacting with other humans online is dystopian and dehumanizing and nothing like 'real' interaction, while also thinking that to read a book is to experience a deeply intimate connection to the author on a spiritual and intellectual level.

David Rovics moving quickly again

 

When you decide if he gets your critical support, the transphobia accusation is 100% legit.

But the stuff I hear about him not being socialist, grifting, opportunism... the man has held the same positions on Western Imperialism and worker's rights consistently since the 70s. Demonstrably so. Loudly so.

 

Unfortunately it didn't spawn Marx or Engels :( I think I triggered it too late. Or just unlucky.

 

I love watching this.

You can see how the union position is morally unassailable.

You can see how the Tory select committee member is just probing at their position, fishing for answers that he can spin to make the union look like it's working against worker interests or just illegitimate, and completely disinterested in replies that don't have that potential.

Meanwhile the Labour MP's approach is far more engaged in an actual dialogue with the union reps, actually responding to their answers and trying to resolve conflicting issues.

Lynch is based as fuck, and UK mainstream media never actually gives people a chance to see it.

 

History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.

  • Churchill

I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of History will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy.

  • Stalin

I've known of both of these quotes for some time but it never occured to me how much they complement one another.

We've seen the truth steadily eroding Churchill's reputation as his conduct during the Bengal famine (among so many other things) becomes more mainstream knowledge.

Cathartic to see it happening.
