IMO it can always get worse. You can look to Ukraine and the Philippines as examples of just how bad it can get; at least for now they (Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Moldova, Georgia, etc) are ostensibly independent countries with some sort of self-interest and self-preservation.

It’s one thing to have a Franco or Salazar in power, and another to have a Horthy or Quisling. And there are all sorts of creative things the west can use a fully compromised Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, etc. for (alongside the fact it would strengthen the western unified fascist front in the likely upcoming WW3), as can be seen with the Kenyan military police in Haiti, or the US’/western EU’s attempts to expand NATO activities to the entire globe (in Asia and west Africa in particular).

and yet the only thing the government is actually concerned with was civil unrest.

It makes sense, if you think about it. All our country’s problems are self-inflicted; the system is acting exactly as intended.

The individual culprits’ intents may not be exactly to revert the country back to feudalism (or to mask-off fascism), but collectively and effectively, it is what it is, and none of them are willing to change course (because it would eat into their bottom line). All the various rentiers that truly constitute the government and institutions of this country (the cartels/oligopolies, landlords, etc) are moving this country exactly in that direction.

It’s India (that alone sadly explains why it was banned, typical Sinophobia). If only the population there had the same energy towards the Brits who pillaged and destroyed their land and laughed as millions starved in various manufactured famines- or if they had the same energy to Uncle Sam, which has always backed terrorists/separatists, encircled India from its inception and in recent years brought about hostile regime changes encircling it again, and used lowkey nuclear threats on India during the Bangladeshi war of liberation…

Really shows what a joke settler ““socialism”” is. It’s hilariously sad.

Zionist settlers, squatting on stolen land, receiving large govt. subsidies for doing so, living leisurely lives with little work while the untermensch (racialized migrant workers, and even racialized fellow Jews) do the bulk of the labor, live segregated and precariously with none of the benefits, in terrible conditions, and dehumanized: “is this socialism?”

Please, prepare the nukes, President Putin… My people long for freedom…

Seriously though, if it all comes down on our heads it may be more of a relief than anything else. Still better if it doesn’t get to that point of course, but whatever happens will be entirely the west’s fault and the result of the rest of humanity’s hands being forced into action, something that is even rather overdue.

I, personally, would be very hesitant to point someone to Rumble (or Twitch) in general, rather than to specific channels, whether they’re on Rumble or Twitch.

Same, though as I see it that extends to all large western platforms, really. Twitch is generally more inoffensive (because its focus tends to be gaming, and so long as one avoids the chuds most channels are more apolitical than ghoulish), that said.

I didn’t exactly find the leftist channels I mentioned on Rumble, admittedly- they’re the reasons I use it (Syrianalysis and Richard Medhurst are demonetized, and now I suppose Africa Stream is banned on YT). I basically followed channels I had already been watching on YouTube, as a backup (or to support the creators who were being repressed by YT)

If you think that there is no capacity of leftist infiltration on Twitch, you’re wrong (see: all of the leftist streamers I listed above). And if you think that Rumble has any potential to harbor leftist content, you are wrong again.

So, twitch, owned by Bezos, which complies with US repression is “open to leftist infiltration,” but Rumble, owned by Thiel, is not?

I use both platforms, and I know of several leftist Rumble channels (Syrianalysis, Richard Medhurst, Danny Haiphong, Geopolitical Economy Report). Does that disprove your claims, or is the whole “Twitch is open to leftist infiltration because there are some leftists” bunk? (Frankly I think anywhere is open to leftist infiltration- right up until it isn’t, something that all imperial core-owned platforms can and will be subjected to)

Twitch is more geared towards livestreams, also, whereas more… journalistic, academic, or analysis-focused content fits more with the Rumble/YouTube format.

Thiel, Zuckerberg, Elon, whoever runs google (their hands are just as bloody if not more so, seriously though google is evil as all hell), honestly does it change a thing?

Unless you’re going to use small independent sites (like tankietube) or non-western ones (like bilibili) they’re all ghouls.

IMO- as they are a settler-colonial state in the genocidal subjugation phase of colonization - the cruelty is the point.

“White supremacy” and “settler supremacy” means nothing, until it is put into action. This is how it is done- through inflicting pain, humiliation, and suffering on the “ubtermensch.”

This is how it was done in all western colonies; it is how it was done in the Anglo settler-states to the natives, and it was done to the enslaved blacks and their descendants, and even as society progressed such that the optics became worse (even among whites), these countless little cruelties and humiliations still remained, swept under the rug or downplayed, in order to assert their “place in the world” over that of their lessers.

This is still how it is, across the west and wherever westoid-mentality westerners plague.

Maybe she should piss her money and connections away (for research purposes) and then see how sound her economic evaluations are, then.

Thanks, I’ll try that later!

Well, that’s enough western… western-ism for today. I hope Hollywood crashes and burns, quite literally. If only I could excise the *nglish language from my mind like the tumor it is.

They’re really trying to make people miss bloody Boris, are they? Though honestly (granted, as a non-Brit) I wish Boris on TERF island. Let it all burn.

But in all seriousness, incredibly cute donkey. And what expressive ears!

Is there some way to just subscribe to all the communities (or see the posts as such) from another instance? I want to move my acc to Hexbear for the better emojis (and seeing things as local, tbh it’d be really nice if one could set more than one instance as viewed in locals, idk)

Hope you do as well :)

Hopefully India won’t play ball, considering the US has been encircling it with hostile regime changes and meddling even more than usual in its own internal issues. I’ve no doubt even Modi and the BJP, immensely flawed as they are, understand that the US is trying to tighten the noose on India, and dreams of using it like a massive nuclear Ukraine upon the Eurasian continent…

While it would have been better if none of this happened to begin with, I feel, for once in its history, NATO is bringing a positive change to the world at large (through destroying itself and the imperial foundations of its members).

The imperialists’ arsenals of genocide are now hollowed out; the scourge of the world, Europe, is de-industrializing; and the west’s behavior is showing the world how truly implacable and intolerable they are once again.

Pretty much. And those who aren’t high on their own supply are no better- all of them, they’re rotten to the core, and will do anything to cling to power and empire. That’s how they got to where they are, after all.

Honestly, in some ways I’m glad. They cannot and will not change, and they will bring down the justice and consequences of 500 years of barbarism upon their heads for it.

I just hope they don’t take the rest of humanity down with them, and that in time even the masses of the west will dispose of the trash before it’s too late.
