  • During the Syrian civil war, a Chinese hostage was murdered by the Islamic State, which claimed its desire to fight against China over Xinjiang.[319] These militants are also very active in Syria, mostly Idlib, where it formed to be one of the most radical fighting groups in the conflict, which prompted China to take cautious reactions.[320][321]

    A number of Uyghur militants have been recruited by ISIS[322][323] and have had a presence in Southeast Asia, with some joining Mujahidin Indonesia Timor.[324]

    Some nice context for the confused here.

  • Harm reduction is supporting the political party that supports genocide and their candidate that proudly proclaimed "As Commander-in-Chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world." at the party's nomination ceremony. I am a very serious political analyst.

    The Dems can never fail in the fight against fascism, because they are aligned with the process all on their own.

    If you stay out of a Nazi death camp long enough to learn the difference between dogshit centrist neolibs and literal fucking fascists

    Enjoy your mind palace where "No one has ever died in a camp because of dogshit centrist neolibs". Millions of people across the global south are silent in their deaths because of the purposeful collaboration of neolibs and fascists, but you have no willingness to comprehend this reality.

    These examples illustrate the disjuncture between GDP and societal well-being and the many ways that GDP fails to be a good measure of economic performance. The growth in GDP before 2008 was not sustainable, and it was not sustained. The increase in bank profits that seemed to fuel GDP in the years before the crisis was not only at the expense of the well-being of the many people whom the financial sector exploited but also at the expense of GDP in later years. The increase in inequality was by any measure hurting our society, but GDP was celebrating the banks' successes. If there ever was an event that drove home the need for new ways of measuring economic performance and societal progress, the 2008 crisis was it.

  • Quite the opposite in fact, they were directly inspired by previous settler-colonialism and successful genocide.

    Writing in “Mein Kampf” in the 1920s, Hitler praised the way the “Aryan” America conquered “its own continent” by clearing the “soil” of “natives” to make room for more “racially pure” settlers and lay the foundation for its economic self-sufficiency and growing global power. Indeed, the concept of Lebensraum was coined and popularized by Friedrich Razel, who said his theory of colonization and racial replacement drew inspiration from the American historian Frederick Jackson Turner’s “frontier thesis” and its identification of “colonization of the Great West” as central to American history and identity.

  • Oh please don't throw me in the briar patch!

    Bre’r rabbit begs and pleads to brer fox to do anything but throw him in the nearby briar patch. Bre’r fox hears this and decides to do exactly that. What he doesn’t know is that rabbits are brought up in dense thickets so he is accustomed to it and shouts “I was bred in a briar patch”. Being thrown in the briar patch ultimately allows him to escape from bre’r fox who is shocked and can’t really believe what had just happened.”

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateless_society

    In stateless societies, there is little concentration of authority. Most positions of authority that do exist are very limited in power, and they are generally not permanent positions, and social bodies that resolve disputes through predefined rules tend to be small.

    Over the course of history most stateless peoples have become integrated into external state-based societies.

    Some political philosophies, particularly anarchism, regard the state as an unwelcome institution and stateless societies as the ideal, while Marxism considers that in a post-capitalist society, the state would become unnecessary and would wither away.

    This is the goal. As the means of production are socialized (owned by everyone), the concentrations of wealth, influence, power and authority would be eroded down. It is continually iterative process with democratic and participatory inputs.

  • also from the wiki link:

    Von Mildenstein's articles explored several questions about the future of Palestine and the viability of Zionism in what he described as the "turbulent Orient".

    Contrary to the derogatory stereotypes prevalent in Nazi propaganda, von Mildenstein depicted the Jewish settlers in Palestine as optimistic and industrious, a direct contradiction to the Nazi portrayal of Jews.

    from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionist_antisemitism:

    Jewish scholar Ze'ev Jabotinsky, who developed Revisionist Zionism in the 20th century, wrote:

    Our starting point is to take the typical Yid of today and to imagine his diametrical opposite ... because the Yid is ugly, sickly, and lacks decorum, we shall endow the ideal image of the Hebrew with masculine beauty. The Yid is trodden upon and easily frightened and, therefore, the Hebrew ought to be proud and independent. The Yid is despised by all and, therefore, the Hebrew ought to charm all. The Yid has accepted submission and, therefore, the Hebrew ought to learn how to command. The Yid wants to conceal his identity from strangers and, therefore, the Hebrew should look the world straight in the eye and declare: "I am a Hebrew!"
