Maybe the demographics of Palestine region can help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Palestine_(region)
There were just 2.000 Jewish people left in Palestine in the 17th century. End of 19th century there were like 40k of them, when the Jewish Colonial Association started with the massive organized colonization of the region. So, by 1947, Palestine ended up with around 600k+ Jews, the vast majority of them, obviously Zionists.
There argument is really, that 2000 years ago, they were the majority in the region, therefore everyone calling themselves a Jew today, is considered "native" to Palestine.
The subject of "unknown" old museum piece Soviet drone carrying unexploded ordnance, striking the capital city of Croatia (small ex-Yugoslav republic, now a NATO member), Zagreb, in March 2022 was again reignited, because a visiting NATO general said Russia definitely didn't launch that drone.
Ukraine keeps denying they launched it, even though literally everyone knows they absolutely did. The very EU/US bootlicking, center-right Croatian government is still trying to cover up the whole incident.
Funnily enough, the ancient Soviet drone a flew a few minutes over Romania, then 40 minutes over Hungary, and another 7 minutes over Croatia...all NATO member countries, without anyone doing anything about it. Hungarians not even bothering to let anyone know about it.

“Hillary Clinton. What a sick son of a removed. The whole fucking party. A bunch of removed, Lowlives, Jew-haters and lowlives. Every one of ‘em. Every one of ‘em,” Rosenberg said.
So, the Democrats back the Zionists unconditionally, even when they are genociding people, and even when it hurts their election result, and the Zionists still despise them, from Netanyahu and this guy, to probably regular Joe Zionist in Israel. There must be a word for that...
They are calling the concentration camp a "humanitarian bubble". I can't...I just can't...
Do you know which German media? It's stated nowhere in the Tweet, nor the name of the politician. There's no sauce whatsoever...
I watched this already and I can't help to notice how Jeffrey Sachs sounds like a normal human being who regardless of his lib status and past "transgressions", seems to be genuinely interested in human cooperation and betterment, while Mearsheimer sounds like a freaking "We'll if I don't steal it, someone else will!" ghoul.
Even with the biggest ancap America fan ever in charge, the US is losing Argentina to China lol.
Frustrated with US, Argentina’s Milei seeks rapprochement with China
In a television interview this week, Milei described China as a "very interesting commercial partner" and said he was "positively surprised by China" - a stark contrast to his earlier rhetoric, in which he referred to China as an "assassin" state while vowing to prioritise relations with Western allies.
Oops sorry for the repost, but topic got locked. Could someone please help me analyze this Foreign Policy article about China allegedly occupying a significant part of Bhutan? There's a lot of stones thrown in this article at China, I can't even find on usually anti-Chinese Wikipedia. Article once misleadingly mentions "Tibetans" but it seems it's talking about the few percent of "free-Tibet" crowd. China and Bhutan don't even have their borders defined, but article suggest that China is invading Bhutan, etc... Thanks.
Could some good soul please help me analyse this FP article about China occupying a significant part of Bhutan? I've read a bit about it on Wikipedia, but there's a lot of stones thrown in this article at China, I can't even find on usually anti-Chinese Wikipedia. China and Bhutan don't even have their borders really set, but article suggest that's it China invading them, etc... Thanks. https://archive.ph/uwAxh
I used to live in actual socialism and can tell you with 100% accuracy, there's enough resources for everyone to live in a small apartment instead of some "SRO", even in poor countries. SRO or the streets is a false dilemma.
They are extremely toxic people and they intentionally hire people that have this toxic masculinity crap going on, because "they are traders" and "they are tough men".
They got this libertarian competition going on between departments which is incredibly toxic environment to work in.
Taking vacation (which is required by law there) is considered a show of weakness which will hurt your career, while "grind" is the ideal.
This resulted in our project manager breaking down and crying in the middle of one meeting, our team lead having a mental breakdown and just go missing for 2 months, shouting matches, name calling in the middle of open offices etc.
They make a huge amounts of money and literally give us (underpaid externals) unironical advice to buy ourselves yachts for birthday. We are talking here like $160k + over $200k in bonuses per year...for rookies.
They showed me their Christmas Party video, which is forbidden to share outside of the company. It's like a Hollywood produced ultra-kitschy and expensive party, where the hosts in tuxedos wear animal masks like in the "Squid Game". I am not kidding. The decadence is just off the charts.
Any normal person would absolutely be radicalized by just looking at that party, however, to my dismay, some of my colleagues seem to have been drawn to that despicable show of wealth and superiority.
Otherwise, they would make fun of me for being "politically correct" (I am not really), complain about "cancel-culture", LGBTQ+ people etc.
They also regularly make fun of climate activists. I tried to find a single redeemable person in there and I failed miserably. There's no fixing this, just Minecrafting.
There was a book about these companies called "The world for sale", written by some libs (I think), who admit these companies are terrible, but "necessary" for capitalism to work, and therefore OK. The author called them "The last swashbucklers of capitalism" in what it seems to be even admiration.
The author of the book talks about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54Uod2pE37Y
I think that's about far as I would go explaining that...
I am an immigrant who sends money home, and pretty old, so cant choose between tech jobs much. I keep little money and basically try to make life of my extended family a little bit more bearable. I send some money to PCRF and such, but that's it.
I absolutely despise 90% of my software engineering colleagues who are either reactionary or infuriatingly idiotic libs.
I am happy I just got off a project for one of the biggest commodity traders in the world and if you think dystopian shows presenting rich capitalists as toxic, despicable scumbag psychos are exaggerated...think again. It's worse than most people imagine.
The Venezuelan opposition has apparently published their tallies online: https://resultadosconvzla.com/
Thoughts?
Do we have actual information about these ships? Does Ansar Allah publish the information about why they are targeted? I believe they used to do that.
The libs are salivating because one ship was allegedly carrying vegetable oil from Russia to China and the other one was apparently carrying Russian oil somewhere...
I am very happy that Yanis Varoufakis, who would probably get called a lib here, straight out said “I do NOT condemn Hamas” and got promptly banned in Germany.
So I wonder, what kind of communists are these CPUSA people?
The Odessa massacre photo seems fake though. It should be an OUN flag instead. Doesn’t change anything, of course.
Where do you donate to help the people of Gaza? UN relief or somewhere else?
Where do you suggest to donate for people of Gaza? https://crisisrelief.un.org/opt-crisis? I’ve got this org in my mailbox: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terre_des_hommes ?
Me too, I just hope to see the USD dethroned during my lifetime. If Michael Hudson is right, the entire US military machine that runs on the fact USD is the global reserve currency, would crumble with it.
This is an old article. I asked the Marxist economist Michael Roberts for the next recession blog about it, but he said IMF numbers do not confirm what is being said here, so cautious with the optimism.
