Does anyone have any information on the workers councils forming in Arak? I saw the statement from the CPIRAN but don’t have telegram and I can’t speak Farsi
Antisemitism is 100% the biggest obstacle toward class consciousness right now and it’ll only get worse in the future. It’s ridiculous how “normal” it’s becoming among regular people, and how these talking points are becoming accepted in leftist spaces. I’ve seen leftists say stuff along the lines of “well we shouldn’t be antisemitic, but it’s true that a majority of capitalist owners are Jewish and that Jewish Americans are the richest demographic in America” like no we don’t have to concede false statistics to the “#noticers”. Protestant Anglo Saxon CEOs and upper middle class Indian American households would like a word with you
It’s actually so shocking and concerning how normalized and acceptable antisemitism has become in just the last 2-3 years. Maybe I’m too online, but I’ve seen way too many TikToks of regular people casually believing antisemitic conspiracies like them controlling media, owning most businesses, etc. This might be too niche of a reference, but there’s this popular underground rapper named Boolymon and his lyrics have so much casual antisemitism in them (“Won’t let these Jews control me” “Jews run the news boy I thought you knew”) and no one bats an eye or even mentions it (and if they do mention it they’re supporting it). I remember when this stuff was fringe and now it’s everywhere
The anti-China nerds in my history class are going to be the end of me. The semester is wrapping up so we’re talking about more contemporary issues, and somebody fucking said China’s treatment to Taiwan is worse than America’s to Cuba 😭😭😭 and somebody else said America’s policy in Latin America during the Cold War is equivalent to China’s in Latin America currently. Like I’m in the same class learning the same stuff as you what could possibly even make you think that?? Even my professor looked confused, you can argue all day long about the nature of the BRI and whether it’s colonialist or equal trade etc etc but you can’t deny it’s strictly economic, and doesn’t even touch funding death square to commit human rights abuses.
Saw on Twitter so I’m not sure how trustworthy this is or if the statistics are misleading but apparently Biden had 12,000 border apprehensions in the last 2 days in office and Trump only had 766 in his first two days
