I wonder whether this money will be held in French banks. Seeing as China has made it policy to not have any funds linger in Western banks longer than absolutely necessary.

First it was the Greeks, which I took in jest. And now you say:

Those turks

Comrades don’t disparage entire nationalities or ethnic groups. We are classists, not racists.

Great tool to radicalize people, though as marxists we shouldn’t define ourselves by our direct contribution to the almighty GDP.

Some jobs don’t produce a form of wealth or labour you can extract, all while still contributing to a prosperous society.

You should.

Sure, but will they stay there? If they do, I hope he can life his remaining life with his family in relative peace.

So, anyone want to place bets on where they’re going? Russia? China? Back home?

“Conflict leads to better story writing” for the people that have never heard about introspection.

I can’t foresee a single way this could go wrong.

Heck, far too many communists are arguing with psyops and bots on places such as Reddit without ever second guessing.

inZOI is probably the only real competition left that is worth rooting for. But then again, it’s Korean and likely always online, so imagine to be charged hand over fist.

You guys are giving Bernie way too much credit, because just like other Western Socdems he is bad on foreign affairs/policy.

Unless Valve employees are making anywhere near $700k on average, they’re still getting business as usual.

Putlocker.pe is also neat

You’re better of buying Chinese brands through whatever store that promises a long warranty.

When my (After)Shokz headphones broke, I wanted to repair them. I could do so in China, but in the West they just redirected me to the store that sold them to me. Lenovo and DJI are probably the best, but that’s because these are brands that have a large market share and will have local service centers. So if you’re going for phone brands such as Xiaomi or Huawei, better to send them a mail and just ask what happens if your device dies.

I tend to answer the Russia/Ukraine question as such:

Support Russia? No, we’d rather see Ukraine remain independent of foreign interference. We don’t support the military occupation of Ukraine by Russia, and neither do we want to see Ukraine become a US puppet and end up an eternal battering ram to be used against Russia. We don’t want to see the sacrifice in lives of many more tens of thousands of people that is happening now. This conflict won’t get solved with more bullets, only with more talks, just as every other modern conflict. We want to see deescalation, and to stop fueling the oligarch that rake in the mega profits from the ever growing war machine on both sides of this conflict.

The question that stumps me with Westerners is: do you denounce Hamas?

Taking the Geneva Convention route or using the ICJ answer, or even talking about the history, just end up with them screaming at me.

TIL. Apart from being cool dude, are there any of his ideas that really stand out to you?

Camus

Going by the political section of his Wikipedia entry, he doesn’t seem too much of a leftist. Then again, I know only of the name, not his content.

Unless it’s done by Tibetan fundamentalists, I guess?

As a Westerner that attends public events I attract these people indoctrinated by Western propaganda like flies. IF China was an dystopian authoritarian police state they would’ve hired me by now to supply them with names.
