Something I'm wondering: during the election, all of Trump's wrath seemed to be aimed at Mexico, with a campaign promise to invade it, using the cartels as a pretext. Now all of his ire towards Mexico seems to be gone and he's become fixated on Canada instead. What gives? Is Claudia Sheinbaum just that damn good?

Duterte got arrested I believe. ICC warrant for arrest for human rights abuses on his war on drugs that left thousands dead
- This is bad. I am not going to venerate Duterte like a liberal does with any world leader but it’s telling that Duterte out of many, many leaders out in this forsaken Earth they chose him, when he had the most China-friendly (ie. Independent) foreign and internal policies unlike the US sycophant running the Philippines now.
  
  I wonder if there is any connection to the fact that his daughter, and until five weeks ago Vice President, was impeached on February 5. Maybe the Marcos administration is just ripping the whole bandaid.

@xiaohongshu@hexbear.net I have a question for you, my dear comrade.
China, as we know, undervalues its currency in order to be more appealing to exports and to secure a better position in the international market. On the other hand, China recently confirmed that the public deficit will grow to be of 4% for the year 2025. Seeing as China is systematically devaluing its currency in the international market, is there any reason why it doesn't just ramp up expenditure a lot further? Social services could certainly be improved and there is a growing concern for unemployment. Is there anything other than neoliberal brainworms preventing the government from doing this?
Thank you in advance

With regards to the cease fire proposal agreed on between Ukraine and the US, it's hilarious but also indicative of western arrogance on the world stage to think the west has anything to dictate in peace negotiations. A 30 day cease fire, all the while EU lackeys are banging the war drums and screaming they want to give ukrainians more wunderwaffe.. i mean, how did they think russia would react?
The sooner these morons realise that its a war, and russia is winning it, the better. They need to get over themselfs ffs
- Russia should stop referring to it as a peace deal and call it what it is, surrender. No need to sugar coat it any longer, if Ukraine wants to stop losing territory they must surrender and abide by terms dictated by the victor.
- Especially when Europe explictly and admittedly used the Minsk agreements just to bide time in order to increase Ukraine's military build up. I'm pretty sure Putin remembers that fellas.
  
  Putin remembers it even if the western liberals that actually did it don't remember it.
- A 30 day cease fire, all the while EU lackeys are banging the war drums and screaming they want to give ukrainians more wunderwaffe..
  "If Putler rejects this honest proposal, it just goes to show how the Russians don't want peace!"

I've just checked what Zizek was up to nowadays

CW: SA
(from the end of January)
This romanticized notion of Russia is often combined with another leftist dogma: that NATO is the ultimate evil. According to this view, anyone in conflict with NATO must have something good or virtuous about them. By this logic, Ukraine is disqualified from support because it’s seen as merely fighting a “proxy war” on behalf of NATO.
when I pointed out that treating Ukraine’s defense as a proxy war for NATO essentially insults Ukrainians, people don’t seem to grasp it. Ukrainians are being portrayed as if they could choose peace but instead decide to engage in a war that displaces a quarter of their population, just for the sake of a proxy war. But in reality, it’s a matter of their survival.
So, as of mid-march, not a proxy war at all
I once made this comparison: it’s like a woman, Ukraine in this case, being brutallyremovedd. In despair, she tries to do something — what would you do if you were in that situation? I can only imagine as a man, maybe you would scratch, try to hit his eyes, or do whatever you could to survive. And then the West’s response would be to say to this woman, "It’s too painful, don’t provoke him."
I truly, deeply deplore this analogy, not that war is nice, but someone who has been writing about Marxist aesthetics should know better, should know that metaphors are ideological constructs, and explaining war with sexual assault is straight out of the trashcan of ideology
For propagandistic purposes, sure, but this is just trash, and not worthy from a "marxist philosopher"
- he told you to get the bag, he getting it himself
  something something believe them
- living through balkanization and carrying water for NATO is wild
  
  he was a 'disident' in Yugoslavia. he wrote in the anti yugoslav slovene magazine Mladina, he ran for president in independent Slovenia in 1990 as the candidate for the liberal democratic party, and was widely involved in many liberal organisations that pushed for the breakup of Yugoslavia. balkanisation was a proud moment of his career, not a dark time of suffering
  
  It makes sense, if you know that he was an active participant in that balkanization on the side of the west "bravely defending liberal dissidents from government repression".
- an anticom grifter who has always had trouble hiding his misogyny
  
  Despite famously having a younger, attractive wife for a time, he's basically an incel. He stayed on a friend's couch when visiting their university and he fucking reeks in person and is very obviously a pornography addict with serious sexual impulse control issues.

  No Zizek. Anyone in conflict with NATO is not necessarily good. But anyone in conflict with NATO is good for us. There is a difference.
  When we have a revolution who are we going to be fighting against Zizek? Who is going to be our enemy and who is going to be the likely potential sources of supply and weapons that we might be able to tap into? Enemies of NATO.
  NATO are not going to be allies when revolution occurs.

  They don't survive by fighting a war. And they aren't being exterminated. Palestine is being exterminated, the two wars look COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT and he's insulting everyone's intelligence by continuing to try to pretend this is a war of extermination or a genocide perpetrated by Russia, it obviously is not.
  but someone who has been writing about Marxist aesthetics should know better
  He does know better. He's just a deeply dishonest dickhead and a piece of shit.
- Zizek had been effectively banned from the “mainstream” presses since 2015. Then during the Ukraine war, suddenly he had a piece in the Guardian and another in the New Statesman, both of which he had never written a piece for in years. I’ll leave you to decide why would that be the case.
- Yep, Zizek is a "Marxist" in the same way that AOC is a "socialist."
- NATO is the ultimate evil. According to this view, anyone in conflict with NATO must have something good or virtuous about them. By this logic, Ukraine is disqualified from support because it’s seen as merely fighting a “proxy war” on behalf of NATO.
  I mean ... yea?
- He also gave an interview to Süddeutsche Zeitung, published yesterday (in German). Shitty hot takes include:
  But we must not forget that the origin of the Enlightenment is humility. Humility in the sense that Europe is the only great civilization to expose itself to permanent self-criticism.
  So humble.
  The worst thing in Trump's eyes is for Europe to say: yes, we should significantly increase our military spending. That would be an example of principled pragmatism. Of course I am in favor of peace. But there are situations in which the only way to make peace a little more likely is to arm ourselves and prepare for a possible war.
  So doing want Trump says he wants (increase the military budget) is actually the best way to own him, because he doesn't actually want that. Also why? Then something something "principled pragmatism", probably just trying to confuse people with that. I hope he chokes on this sophistry.
  At the end of the interview he starts blaming migrants for not wanting to be integrated.
  
  Great civilizations comes from humility!
  This dude has gone full trash can of ideology
- Hearing Zizek speak on nuclear proliferation really just solidified my opinion that he has no clue about what he's talking about half the time. Even pro NATO analysts called him out for being ignorant.
  A Nuclear Ukraine Accomplishes Nothing
  Note the paragraph about Zizek's comments. Zizek doesn't even understand the difference between compellence and deterrence.

CHINA BUILDS HOSPITAL IN BURKINA FASO
China and Burkina Faso are working hand in hand to build a brighter future. At least, that is the case with their collaboration on a teaching hospital on the outskirts of Bobo Dioulasso. The hospital, set to open in 2025, would be West Africa's largest.
Karim Démé, president of the Focal Point of the People's Republic of China in Burkina Faso, initially proposed the project and contacted Chinese authorities to develop the idea. Chinese doctors will train Burkinabé physicians for the first three years, after which the Burkinabé people will run the hospital by 2028.
As of 2020, Burkina Faso had 0.2 hospital beds per 1,000 people compared to the global average of 3.3 beds per 1,000 people.

Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, to Trump: 'Now that you've started threatening us, I'll definitely not negotiate. Do whatever the hell you want. Trump is mentally challenged'

  by avoiding the obvious word that is now actually cool, good and based to say under the trump imperium, pezeshkian has proven that he is woke
  
  To be fair, carpoftruth, most people don't directly translate "Marg bar Amerikkka" in diplomacy, if they translate it at all. They just translate it as "down with America".
  So I suppose the meaning was minced oath in translation
- he shouldn't say that
  
  It's all theatrics anyway, Iran has been setting up for negotiations since October last year. However, Iran weren't going to approach the United States first, they wanted the United States to approach Iran first. By Trump sending that letter to Iran, that has happened, the US have approached first with an initial offer.

There is almost no fucking movement in the UK to oppose assisted dying and I am pulling my hair out what the fuck why is everyone so apathetic about this.
I'm scared shitless about where this goes.
It's going to be a eugenics program here in the UK just like it is in Canada. It's going to play out exactly the same fucking way. They will use it to kill the disabled and clear up the benefits system.
- It's really disturbing how anglos advancing eugenics, just one century ago shit, with only people mildly protesting are christians, who torpedoed their arguments on the altar of abortion.
- doing Aktion T4 but as sensible and rational public policy for 100% humanitarian reasons and definitely not the reification of social murder this time no it's good and sensible and there's no fascism in sight please do not look under the rug
- I kinda wish we had an option for AD. In the US if you're poor you have to go on Medicaid, part of being accepted means you have to have less than 2000 dollars and sign your house over to the state who will liquidate your estate upon death to recoup costs spent (even though people pay through payroll taxes their whole lives). The states administer a Medicaid estate recovery system and it's essentially a way for the state to steal property from the poor in order to get health care for the elderly. Out of pocket expenses would be around 10,000 a month which only the very wealthy can afford... I'm definitely not for eugenics on the disabled but if I live to be 85 plus I would rather use AD rather than impoverish my family more so.
  
  I would rather use AD rather than impoverish my family more so.
  I did see articles previously where Canada's MAID program has been offered to those in poverty.
  Literal kill the poor program.
- You're absolutely right. I've been saying this is literally the capital class / state building a eugenics programme for a while and it's only this week that a few people even in my cynical, lefty circles have started treating it as anything except silly hyperbole - despite the fact that we've had people who literally went to eugenicist conferences pushing this stuff in government for years.
  The Trussel Trust said earlier today that calls to suicide hotlines have fucking exploded with people really scared and hopeless over Labour's new eugenecist welfare cuts. And while I have complicated feelings about the moral and practical implications of assisted dying, the one thing I'm absolutely certain of is that a state already actively killing disabled people & trying to increase the pace at which they do it cannot be trusted with euthanasia laws.
  
  It's so fucking scary. We need to do a MASSIVE push to educate people in the UK on the left about Canada's program, how it has expanded and how it's even gotten to the point where people who are 27 and only diagnosed with ADHD and Autism can be eligible for it. This family lost their case to prevent their daughter from using it. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-maid-father-daughter-court-injunction-judicial-review-decision-1.7154794
  This is exactly what the program would become here too. The right won't oppose it. The neoliberals won't oppose it. It will expand every year with every proposal to make new groups eligible for "dignity" and stupid ass liberals will agree how great that is while literal fascists cackle as it expands more and more into a eugenics program.
  I have absolutely no doubt that this is what the program would become here in the UK. 100%. We need people to take it fucking seriously and it has to start with showing people Canada's program because they literally no NOTHING about it.
  Everyone says "I'm ok with it as long as it stays just the terminally ill blah blah blah" IT FUCKING WON'T WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED.
  Nobody thinks it will be that bad because nobody has seen the horror of Canada's system.

A lot of libs are mad at the Dems and Schumer right now, even absolute ghouls like Neera and Stencil. In a few days they will calm down and realize they have nowhere else to go - the only alternative to the establishment Dems is the left and the libs would rather destroy the party than give in to the left. So we will be back to business as usual.

The Liberal Party of Canada has selected their new leader, Mark Carney by a landslide. there were no real heterodox candidates in this one, it was just a choice between boring Mr Neoliberal (Carney) and Ukrainian Nationalist Neoliberal (Freeland). Carney is correctly (imo) seen as the continuation of Trudeau and all the normal 'Canada's Natural Governing Party' type policies. 3 months ago the LPC didn't have a prayer, but the annex Canada shitshow from Trump has really galvanized Canadians as a whole, particularly the LPC base and now Carney has a real shot of being PM. I expect an election to be called shortly, so probably Canada will have a new government one way or the other by the start of the summer.

Is anyone else hearing "Russiagate 2.0" in their lib circles? I'm consistently hearing people say that Trump is a Russian plant that's been 'activated' by the Russians after 30 years of being dormant. They're talking Cold War 2.0 type shit.
To me it's wild that people actually believe that narrative, rather than "US Oligarchs do a fine job of destroying the US themselves, thank you very much." Where the hell are people hearing this?
- Did Russiagate 1.0 ever go away?
- I am constantly telling libs that Putin isn't a communist and hear how Trumps handling of Ukraine proves he is just taking orders directly from Putin. Libs really do live in their own imagined world.
  
  Trumps handling of Ukraine proves he is just taking orders directly from Putin
  what no material analysis does to a mfer. seriously though, Trump's approach to Ukraine isn't materially different than the Biden admin's. US state department never had any interest in 'saving' ukraine. they wanted to exhaust Russia as much as they could. Now that they've reached the limits of that strategy, they've decided it's time to 'negotiate'
- The other day a family member asserted that Putin is ackshully the richest man on earth, not Elon Musk. When I said there would need to be some kind of documentation of this wealth, it can't just be assumed, he explained oh you just add up all the Russian oligarchs' wealth to get his total wealth, because they do anything he tells them to do.
  
  hey, what does the '-arch' in oligarch mean again?
  
  Then by his dalubhusang bobo measurement, Trump's wealth is more so, but due to 'brainpan' differences, they're not gonna apply the same methodology.
- Yeah I’ve definitely seen an uptick in memes and whatnot of Trump with the hammer and sickle/generally portraying him a communist. And the use of AI for that this time around is making it 300% more cringe. I can’t imagine telling on yourself so publicly about how stupid you are

The Syrian terror regime has started a cleanup operation in advance of any international visitors, specifically the UN delegation. From planting weapons and stripping bodies to put on military gear to straight-up dumping bodies in the ocean, maximum effort is being put in to obscure what really has occurred. They haven’t stopped the killing (despite the announcement of the “military operation’s” end), they’re simply trying to minimize what has already happened.

  That portion stuck out to me as well. Anti-Iran coalition?
  
  Defeat ISIS by joining them!
- They are both us puppets so it does not surprise me.
- welp, that's middle east firmly in usa/isntreal hands.
- Completely shameless.
- The agreement with the SDF stipulates supporting the Syrian state in its fight against the remnants of Assad and all threats that threaten its security and unity.
  Bruh. We're gonna get Horizontally Aligned Alawite massacres.

So, from what I understand about Myanmar/Burma, the two main factions are the Junta/Tatmadaw and the National Unity Government/People's Defense Force. Besides them, there are some ethnic armies that are supported by the US and China. And it seems that both the US and China have also tried a peace deal between the Junta and the NUG, but it doesn't seem to have worked. The junta doesn't want the military and its friends to lose their privileges and doesn't seem to have any real ideology beyond the fact that they want to rule Myanmar.
- Somewhere in the mix with this is also that Myanmar is once again the #1 opium producing country, a trend that started during the war/right after the US pulled out of Afghanistan.

- idk, maybe things have changed but the “some ethnic armies” seem much more developed and militarily powerful. With coalitions like the Three Brotherhood Alliance playing a decisive role in the tide turning against the military government. Some of these national liberation armies have been i. armed struggle for self determination for decades, with only a brief respite in fighting during Myanmars brief period of liberal democracy, while NUG is a coalition that was sort of hastily put together with the liberals who fled and went into hiding after the coup in 2021.
  I think what has been missing from some of the analysis I have read is just how we are supposed to understand the class-politics of the conflict and relationship to imperialism in the conflict. I disagree that the conflict is entirely a US proxy war, although the US has played an important and malign role. The military government was looking at political defeat in 2021, in part because they had nearly identical politics with the NLD but no mass base or celebrity leader. I think the military government saw the rising conflict with China and the US and felt that seizing power would avoid the same level of isolation and sanction that they had had before liberalizing. They believed they could get away with it, because both China and the US would want to continue a positive relationship with whoever was left in power (for different reasons)— But this has led to a strange position for China, who seems to only want a stable neighbor without conflict on their border. As the military government falters, China is less likely to put all of its eggs in one basket. On top of that the military government has also done things to upset China (one of Myanmar's generals was implicated in a fraudulent call-center ring across the border in Yunnan). So even though I am sympathetic to the argument that the US is flooding the region with arms to destabilize China’s neighbor, I am not certain that China is committed to upholding the current government. They just want to conflict to resolve (but preferably with a government that isn’t hostile)… I am not sure that there hasn’t been historic support for the national liberation factions from China in the last, particularly in the 60s and 70s… If relations are relatively good between China and the major nations in Myanmar, given their outsized influence in fighting the government I could see China coming out of the conflict without a major loss if either side wins. The loss already occurred for them when the coup happened (and Myanmar was embroiled with armed struggle)

China opens its first wholly foreign-owned Hospital
Personally I don’t see anything good coming out of a private hospital firm that according to the company CEO is going to “serve high-end customers”.
I hope the CPC will seize the business when it goes under.
