North Star (https://www.youtube.com/@NorthStar-Beichen) is a nice channel that covers Chinese history with the same entertaining style oversimplified has.

Weakening Iran weakens the further axis of resistance, which significantly weakens anti-imperialist resistance in the middle east as a whole.

They don’t care if it’s an Islamic republic unless it goes against their imperial interests. I don’t hear them sparking color revolutions and uprisings, or even trying to invent reality for interventions in Dohran, Dubai, Riyadh etc.

The “Islam repressive to women and queers” shit is a “rules for thee and not for me”. The US and its allies are the ones oppressing minorities, trans, queers, woman, and the rest of their non-white straight cis male population in their countries, as well as abroad.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Ansarallah (Houthis) are all progressive and accepting, but most of the claims regarding this topic are straight-up wrong or overexaggerated, particularly the topic of Women, Iran, and Hezbollah, especially during and after Sayed Hassan Nasrallah’s (may he rest in peace) reforms . Not too knowledgeable about Ansarallah and Hamas’s positions on this to talk about them.

Most if not all countries where gay and women’s rights are lacking are a direct result of British and French colonialism. Before that, being queer or trans was in between the spectrum of celebrated, accepted, or frowned upon. It is the colonizers’ barbaric white supremacist culture that brought the rights issues of today that they point towards as a justification for their intervention, colonization, and imperialism.

My country, especially the village I’m from and the village I live in are severely surveilled and attacked by the Zionist settler-colonial entity. While it’s less physical (on the ground interactions), it’s still important to watch out what you say online on questionably encrypted, mainstream social media. In addition, MK surveillance drones are a constant worry for resistance members, as well as other targets.

So, I’ll try to address how to avoid those:

First, online:

Try avoiding proprietary software as much as possible. Use Searx instead of Google, a secure, open source, and private browser, etc…

If you are going to use proprietary software, try running it in a closeted, separate environment separate from the rest of the system and generally be cautious.

Next, operating system:

If for some reason you already aren’t, use GNU+Linux. Try to avoid distros with clear links to corporations or/and governments, but even those are better than windows or macOS.

Phone:

If you can, try replacing the default OS with a private and secure alternative.

Take batteries out when not in use.

Irl:

Hide face

Change clothing or small stuff that you had in another place. A lot of people police search for are caught because of a minor detail.

Ps:

I’m speaking in being hunted type of situations. I don’t follow all of these and don’t expect you to do unless you have to.

Also, not an expert on this, so take it with a grain of salt. This is just from my basic knowledge and experience.

Stay safe comrade o7

A big thank you from Global South Lemmy users

I know bluesky is a joke full of muh free speach libs, but isn’t this too far even for their standards?

artix

It’s the damn bloated soystemd bullshit. I use artix btw

He made a video making fun of the person who said: hate systems not people. It’s clearly a joke

Yankie, go home!

Long live Marxism-Leninism-Dessalinesism

But DPRK evil kim jon un dictator will cut off my balls

Penis U becomes woke cultural-marxist leftist gay immigrant Mexican trans Arab Muslim vegan environmental totalitarian authoritarian Stalinist?! NOOOOOO

Don’t get me wrong, I agree it is irrelevant. I’m just exploring the points of views from leftist atheists and theist out of curiosity.

critiquing is 1 thing and insulting is another

What a completely ignorant statement. Just because people posses negative views of religion doesn’t mean “no one wants to hear about”. How about actually disproving and arguing with good faith instead of posting such a meaningless ignorant comment?

Just make sure to watch till the end because that’s where his radical views come out. In the beginning/middle there was some liberal terms

After seeing his credentials, I got suspicious as well, but from his talk, he’s surely not an anti-communist zionist, quite the contrary. Title is pretty clickbaity though. He does talk about the PRC’s use of vetos, but the video is more of about the history --> modern-day stance of the PRC towards Palestine, Israel, and related topics.
