The far-right Alternative for Germany party won the Thuringia state election, dealing a blow to the country’s coalition government.
Björn Höcke being an elected member of the German state, however weak in actual power is not great to say the least. He's about as literal Nazi as it gets in mainstream German politics.

As a non-USian with USian friends, who are both leftists and not, it's interesting talking to them about the election, my leftist friend is voting for Biden because they are trans and project 2025 is scaring them pretty heavily. My other two friends, one is voting for Biden because "he's not Trump" and the other is voting for Kennedy because "fuck it, it seems funny". It's weird. The election is bringing a lot of weird feelings and emotions out in the states.
Great news for pan-Africanism and anti-western politics in the region. Very exciting news.
If I cheated everytime I worked with someone I find attractive I would have cheated dozens of times. Cheating isn't something you have to do, just... Don't do it. Also as others have said, start working in yourself, positive directions, self improvement..if you need to chat, message me.
I'm all for a new space race imo, just one that's a little more well planned out by the comunists, instead of bleeding money that should be spent elsewhere.
I lived there for two years for work. I took a class at a local university to learn something I needed and there was a military recruiter at a table in the front building entry way every day. I told him my cousin is in the PLA and they probably wouldnt want me. He stopped try to talk to me going forward.
Israel dropped a new website full of graphic images supposedly done by the Palestinians. So that's fun.
My great grandfather was a literal feudal serf.. 70 years ago.. It's gonna take time on that sadly. I think this current generation is the first to be truly "modern" (whatever that means.)
Decline is inevitable if history is considered proof, however history demonstrates the death of empires takes many generations, in some cases, hundreds of years. So, while it may be declining, it doesn't mean it's going to be gone in five years, it will likely take decades.
News and Press Release in English on occupied Palestinian territory about Protection and Human Rights; published on 20 Dec 2023 by OHCHR
"On 19 December 2023, between 2000 and 2300 hours, IDF reportedly surrounded and raided Al Awda building, also known as the “Annan building”, in Al Remal neighborhood, Gaza City, where three related families were sheltering in addition to Annan family. According to witness accounts circulated by media sources and Euro- Med Human Rights Monitor, while in control of the building and the civilians sheltering there, the IDF allegedly separated the men from the women and children, and then shot and killed at least 11 of the men, mostly aged in their late 20’s and early 30’s, in front of their family members. The IDF then allegedly ordered the women and children into a room, and either shot at them or threw a grenade into the room, reportedly seriously injuring some of them, including an infant and a child. OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awdabuilding, although the details and circumstances of the killings are still under verification. IDF has not released any information on the incident."

I think it's largely like the red cross or red crescent, so people don't assume it's some random crap and it gets taken care of, I'd you look at the image you can see actual markings on the boxes

Xi's Message of Peace:
Competition among major countries is not the theme of this era and does not solve the problems faced by China, the U.S., and the world, Chinese President Xi Jinping told U.S. President Joe Biden.
Planet Earth is big enough for both China and the U.S. to succeed, Xi said, adding that one country's success is an opportunity for the other.
Xi said he looks forward to an in-depth exchange of views with President Biden on major strategic, overall and directional issues related to China-U.S relations and world peace and development, and reaching a new consensus.
This is a great post. Also second The Expanse, the book series is somehow even better imo.
He had a bypass a few months before and had heart issues, is the likely the reason he stepped down in March from all of his positions.
Made in China 2025 was his brain child, rest in power, we may not have agreed on everything in governance, but in practice you were a patriot. I was worried his recent step down from position was gonna lead to more severe issues healtg wise, seems it was true.

Wanted to share this in general outside of the megathread, is a incredible piece of information that should be shared around broadly, high quality work from AL Jazeera.
This is why I keep my politics close to my chest with most people and speak on it very specifically. Passion has put me in bad situations too many times. I suggest finding Communist friends but also practicing communication of your ideas in a less zealous way. It is hard but is very possible.
I think Mexico is genuinely worried of being invaded by the US, lots of neutrality from them lately
