  • I read independent journalism from China. It's called Ginger River Review if you're interested.

    Independent news media was almost totally killed off in the US and Canada with the media mergers. Good thing Substack and for a while Medium, also YouTube, and just independent websites popped up. Of course YouTube is owned by Google and the reporting on it reflects their censorship.

    As for authoritarian, that's a core part of the propaganda campaign developed by NATO / The Atlantic Council to deal with states that don't bend the knee to US empire. It's a smear that distorts what is happening in The West (increasing authoritarianism) and in China (improving quality of life).

  • I don’t think anyone in this thread is anywhere close to implying all western news is true or that all non-western news is false.

    Yes, I agree. But it's a common belief in the West that Russian and Chinese news, for example, are pure propaganda. The irony is that this belief is itself the result of propaganda.

  • That's a good point. I totally agree. Every news source has its biases.

    The scary thing is getting hundreds of millions of people to believe Western news delivers the truth, while non Western news delivers the lies.

    Also I don't believe there is a single correct position on every issue. But on genocide there is a basic take: stop it immediately.

  • [Video] Don Jr. explain that the real reason the Trumps had to sell memecoins was because no actual banker would lend them money.

  • That's what this sub is about. Progressive politics now means pretending that your local right wing party is fundamentally different from your local left wing party. Both are funded by the same corporate interests and both are chock full of corrupt sell-outs. But one of them talks about helping people while actively screwing them over, so they are O-K!

  • Consider The Guardian's campaign against Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-Semite. Or their many character assassination pieces against Julian Assange. These campaigns serve the interests of the Zionist lobby and the US empire, respectively.

    If you are critical of modern imperialism and capitalism, then The Guardian and AP do not have good takes on many issues. Currently, The Guardian publishes articles critical of the genocide in Gaza, which is the only correct position to take on the issue. However they have served Zionist interests in the past and carried water for US warmongers.

    While they get on the bandwagon when critical mass gets unstoppable they also manufacture consent for empire.

  • The strange thing here is that Marty McFly is using the slang "heavy" and Doc Brown doesn't understand it. Yet the use of heavy to mean "profound, serious" started in Jazz in 1937. So Doc would have grown up with the word, and by the 80's I wonder if it was really all that popular anymore. McFly is using 50's slang in the '50s but the guy from the '50s doesn't get the slang. Maybe because he's not hip.

  • "Knee high to a grasshopper" (short)

    "Beyond the pale" (outside social norms, I think. Maybe just strange)

    "Dance maven"

    "I'll just do that in my copious free time..." (sarcastically, because you are too busy)

    "Copacetic" (it's all good)

    "Heavy" (meaning important, grave)

    I learned all of these thirty years ago from a man in his fifties. He was full of interesting expressions.

  • There can be enough work. We can build parks, fund art, literature, music. If the needs of society are met with less labour, the free hours can be put to creative work.

    But that requires a government for the people.

  • CK Hutchison will not sign deal to sell strategic Panama ports next week, sources say

  • This is the flaw in the hybrid socialist-capitalist system. Billionaires will sell out national interests.

    We'll see if the government is able to rein in Hutchison.
