  • Police told the media the robot was returned to its operator nearby, a local man in his 50s, who was reminded to exercise caution.

    The centre’s person in charge told the media the robot was being guided by mixed programming and remote supervision at the time.

    Autonomous or semi-autonomous, it still has a handler. Someone who is responsible for deploying it and can be held liable.

    Bottom line: the public use of any piece of machinery that is heavy enough to cause property damage and injuries has to be regulated.

  • Say "I want to balkanize China and hand over control of its regions to terrorist groups", not "I care about minorities in China".

  • At some point it will become necessary to introduce a "driver's licence" requirement to be allowed to operate robots in public areas. Too many people will do too many stupid things with them otherwise.

    Right now it seems like a bit of a wild west situation where people just do what they want until the legislation catches up.

  • I also really like how the socialist realism style looks in murals, mosaics and reliefs.

    As for poster art, there's just too much to choose from, but here are a few i found recently:

    I like the internationalism in this one

    This one just encapsulates optimism for the future

    And i appreciate how this one highlights industry and agriculture

    And really we should also not forget to mention music as another form of socialist art, but again, way too much to choose from there, best left to a separate post.

  • Statues count as art, right?

  • Fascists of a feather flock together.

  • Angelica Oung gives an impression of how this was received in Taiwan:

    BTW...people in Taiwan are NOT OK with this. I searched "Lai Ching-te" on Threads this morning and here are the top results, all related to these horrible comments:

    "How do we have such a disgusting president? Lai Ching-te is the tragedy of the Taiwanese. How can the words 'east-asia co-prosperity sphere' leave his mouth?"

    "I voted Tsai Ing-wen...hearing Lai describe Japanese colonialism as co-prosperity...I'm pretty disappointed."

    "Who is Lai Ching-te's history teacher?"

    "I don't want to defend the KMT white terror, but the Japanese colonial regime came with armed repression and exploitation. The Yunlin massacre and the 228 massacre should be seen as equal.",

    "After seeing Lai's talk, I refuse to vote DPP for life."

    "Taiwan is hopeless...when the president uses his ideology and misbegotten view of history to create polarization...no wonder Taiwan is full of agitation and conflict."

    "I want to throw up"

    "As a leader of our country, yet he sucks up to those who colonized us. This isn't freedom of speech but a betrayal to the Taiwanese!"

    You can tell from the comments that they are not all from pro-KMT voices but betrayed DPP followers as well

  • Cowbee has the patience of a saint. Not once have i seen them put forward anything but the most calm and reasonable arguments supported by verifiable facts.

  • 💯

    It's funny because it's true

  • Because Europeans are delusional to the point of solipsism.

  • I suspect that it will be very difficult to get accurate data on this for some time because of the censorship regime that has been implemented. We are simply not going to be seeing as much as we saw in the first days because the information control has gotten tighter. So "OSINT" is going to be way off. Any charts they produce are going to be nonsense. And any "data" coming out of the US and Zionist regimes is pure propaganda slop much like the ridiculous claims of interception rates that we have seen from Ukraine for the past four years. Iran probably has its own internal data from their own sources which is quite accurate but i don't know if it's in their interest to release it.

  • At this point the distinction between the US and "Israel" is in my view mostly irrelevant. Their interests are so aligned they function as one and the same entity. The US uses "Israel" for their global hegemonic ambitions which require control of the Middle East, while "Israel" uses the US for their regional hegemonic ambitions and ethno-religious expansionist crusade.

  • Assad isn't Shia, he's Alawite. That's why when the Takfiri terrorists took over Damascus the first thing they did is to go to the coastal Alawite regions and start butchering them.

    Sectarianism is the absolute stupidest, most self-defeating nonsense. It's the classic imperialist divide and conquer playbook. The fastest way to get your country destroyed by imperialists is to fall for this crap.

  • Maybe the Kiev Nazi junta should stop bombing the Donbass and committing ethnic cleansing.

  • Congratulations comrade! You and your fellow students are a ray of hope in these dark times!

    From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

  • Yeah. With this author you sometimes have to ignore/edit out some parts that suck. Can't expect non-Marxists to get it all right.

  • The West's new "international law":

    "When we do it, it's moral and justified. When they do it it's evil. Why? Because we 'instinctively feel' this."

    As Grasp on Power and Narrative Slips, West Re-Imagines Old Norms

  • Just give them a factual historical education and teach them to think critically about how the economy and society works under capitalism. Teach them to question narratives by questioning the interests of those who propagate them. That is the first step.

    Once someone has formed a solid understanding of how the world works beyond the lies told by liberal propaganda, they will eventually find their way to Marxist ideas, because only Marxism offers a coherent framework to explain what we observe.

    If you are too explicitly advocating for communism to students who are still caught in an idealist understanding of the world, you might end up being accused of trying to propagandize them.

    You have to remember that many of them come with pre-conceived ideas that will be heavily reinforced by their families.

    So my advice would be to view yourself as laying the foundation, not as the person who will necessarily "convert" them.

    (Though, if some show an interest and aptitude to learn more, you can of course guide them further along and point them toward resources they can explore on their own time.)

  • The causal chain is fairly simple. The RSF are proxies of the UAE (and therefore of Israel). With the latter now busy with Iranian attacks they cannot afford the attention or resources to support their pet project in Sudan anymore.

    The RSF never had organic support in Sudan. They are genocidal, murderous maniacs despised by most of the Sudanese people. They have been armed, funded and propped up by imperialist interests just like ISIS was.
