  • Their demands seem to be as feeble they might as well not exist. So the mass protests might not exist as well. Hands off bla bla lol, might as well send a sternly written letter haha. “Oh please sir, could you possibly be less rough with me?!”

    I heard that the USA has been involved in illegal regime change in other countries 62 times. Sixty two times! Overthrowing quite a few democracies too. But for the US this seems unthinkable still, even for mother jones. A simple demand like the Trump administration to step down and call for new elections seems to be nowhere to be found.

    PATHETIC ATTEMPT AT REVOLUTION!


  • Quite possible it’s just a fuck-up. But really the police should be able to do what a TV documentary crew can do. I mean what is the police there for? (Socialist answer is obviously to protect the rich and powerful)

    How many cases were not pursued because it wasn’t profitable and opportune to make a popular documentary for them? Inequality based on identity like gender is the core belief of fascism, so this is a serious problem to leave unfixed.




  • after a police investigation into allegations made following the broadcast of a Channel 4 documentary

    "The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.

    Were the allegations not brought to the police before the tv documentary? Why didn’t the police investigate before? If so there should be an investigation and prosecution of those involved in the “non-investigation”.

    This failure to investigate is an outrage, many people including me listened to Russel Brand in the 2010s, but the police failed to investigate and now has the gall to say “the defendant has a right to a fair trial”? Does the public not also have a right to a fail investigation and prosecution?







  • Serpentza is compelling and interesting on a cursory glance. And I don’t know if he is consciously racist or how far his biases go. The bigger problem is that there are “algorithmic forces” shaping content and content creators.

    The content creators wants to make money, needs to make money. They will experiment with various things. They make compelling content, don’t have time to deeply study history or sociology or economics, only enough to project an image. Psychological needs from narcissism might make them unable to resist rationalizations in exchanges for clicks.

    There have been quite a few cases with supposedly liberal or leftist icons suddenly turning to reactionary rhetoric. It’s hard to understand and somewhat traumatizing. Recently TYT. I think the moral of the story is that much of it is subconsciously performative and not well thought out beliefs. And economic reality makes ideology a lie.

    I think Serpentza fits in there somewhere, if he’s not outright paid indirectly by the state department to spread propaganda.

    I suspect that women have dual mode sexual selection: Either dad material then attractiveness doesn’t matter as much as stable personality and material conditions, or someone with attractive exceptional genes. Meanwhile men will only judge by attractiveness but men (including the attractive ones) will still fuck anything.

    Basically game theory and the structure of dating apps makes women only be able to select for the first criteria.

    In case your source for that is serpentza, then you should check this reply with more links debunking this guy and his racist views.

    Obviously China is not a utopia and with a billion people things will be bad at some place or another. But cherry picked examples and wild accusations like “they will dissappear” is just anti-China propaganda.



  • But absolute scale makes a difference, especially if you compare having a job or not, and how expensive it is to give a home to a homeless person. My impression was that they just give you an apartment for free.

    The proper comparison would be complicated, when building and maintaining an apartment block, how much money is siphoned off as profit to the capitalists?

    Also e.g. Germany has a lot of regulations which is sometimes nice, but also lead to higher costs. Like converting your car to electric isn’t done in Germany, because regulations demand you make an EMF test which costs something 5-10 thousand euro. So there are practically none. That held back private innovation for EVs. There are countless regulations for building too which might sound good on paper but have been tweaked to only benefit the capitalists and make costs go up and projects take forever.

    Then in Germany you wouldn’t give an apartment as a homeless person for free, you’d have to show that you’re jobless and that has to be verified then they give you money then you can pay rent to someone. Although I’m not quite sure how the situation in Germany is overall.
