I see your LA liberals and raise you Orange County Liberals.

People legitimately would rather hunt down and shoot hordes of homeless people then seize vacant housing units to shelter them. The concept of attacking another person’s “private property” which isn’t even being used mind you (there’s about a million vacant housing units in CA, and 200k homelessness) is seen as unjust compared to killing desperate human beings.

I somehow look like the crazy person for suggesting that anyone profiting off of homeless is a form of social malfeasance. There’s definitely fertile ground for agitation here, but trying to convince people to understand that basic empathy is in their self interest is nauseating.

There’s this massive attitude of “I had to suffer cuz of whatever reason, so it’s unfair if others don’t” but from people who really aren’t suffering the same amount today. It’s like the definition of a crab bucket where people will drag you down even if you attempt to pull them up.

Let’s hope he actually means it, and that white parents won’t sell out undocumented children of others.

Turkey is in support? Aren’t they the ones that started the Uyghur myth in the first place, along with finding the ETIM?

Astagfurallah,

The level of hatred I have for this Wahabbi scum is incalculable I feel. How can I take any one seriously who supported this fucking backstabbing rat over Assad on the basis of “The Syrian People”. What a fucking joke.

The Syrian people are ardently anti-zionist and Pro-Palestine, yet this headchopping bastard has not raised a finger against the Israeli incursion, instead choosing to side with them on the excuse of “rebuilding”.

What a load of bullshit. I hope the Syrian people drag these dogs’ bodies through the streets of Damascus. What and embarrassment of leadership.

A curse on these fundamentalist filth, a curse on the ignoramuses who couldn’t see this obvious outcome in the diaspora, a curse on Assad and his political incompetence to let this happen.

Let there be glory to the resistance, and the people of Syria fighting off the Zionist incursion. Inshallah the enemies of imperialism are victorious in the end.

There are few companies I as an aspiring nuclear engineer hate more than PG&E.

Their incompetence and greed is astounding and it’s one if the few companies I’ve heard people in CA support nationalizing, even though that’s a scary socialist word.

Graph is very funny at least.

“It’s dangerous for a states security if a foreign authoritarian government has information on ways to influence your citizens.”

Is the reply I’ve gotten before. Honestly not the worse opinion… if you applied it to the US. Otherwise it’s eye-roll inducing.

I do wonder about the timeline that would have been, had Trotsky put his ego aside and devoted himself to the revolution during the Stalin era.

Perhaps I’m just naive, but even if I don’t particularly care for Trotsky or Trots in general, I can’t bring myself to truly dismiss him entirely. His work for the red army is indispensable as far as I’m aware and for that alone I’m willing to say mu view of him is as an overall net positive to the world.

… right?

Look I didn’t learn nuclear physics to actually do math.

God I know I’m a fucking nerd by the fact that I thought this was cool as hell, and could comprehend it a little (though I’m much more familiar with Python and industry specific coding, rather then economic analysis.)

I’m still not sure if I wanna try the new Legends. The thing that attracted me to the first fame was the setting, whereas I’m not quite as interested in Kalos setting of ZA. I think I’ll wait for reviews to come in and determine if the game play is worth it for me, as I quite enjoyed the first game.

I think I’ll probably choose the Unova starter again, but I’d like to see what they turn into, as all of them could become my favorite with the right final evo.

Had no clue what this game was, but he small showcase has really intrigued me. I love the asthetics of it and will be sure to keep track of it for when I have time.

It’s got my attention more then Metroid Prime 4, and I’m an avid Metroid fan. (Nothing against MP4 I just really vibe with Witchbrook)

As someone who has been privy to admin negotiations for my university, I have to say they are incredibly obstinate and bad faith to negotiate with. It’s like banging your head against the wall until it gives, but until then sustained pressure is required.

Thank you for the clarification. I think I understand now.

My understanding is that when a color revolution fails, which is becoming increasingly common as imperialism develops, along with the Global South’s understanding of imperialism, the US increasingly turns to sowing chaos and destruction through protracted terror campaigns rather then parasitically yanking organic movements in whatever direction they want.

Essentially the color coup is a development from the color revolution because movements in the global south have gotten wise to Washington’s tactics. Therefore, since the US can no longer attain their goals by latching onto these movements, they do there best to anhilate all functioning of governments they target.

The west is also on the decline meaning they have to resort to these more desperate tactics compared to before.

I’m now interested in the way things develop from here.

As we can see with Gaza, the western myth of humanitarian concern is shattered. This along with the increasingly aggressive sentiment of the US, even towards their vassels, makes it obvious to all of the global south that the US has no concern for people’s conditions of life and only carew about furthering its political goals.

The increased use of these color coups over color revolutions, though concering, potentially opens some doors, or more accurately, closes a large amount of looping paths.

With the increase of these color coups and terror campaigns, the more likely that the global south gains wider awareness of such simple tactics. It forces these movements and countries to burn the bridge of western compliance. More over, it makes obvious that the answer to this issue is through unity with other members of the global south. A chain is broken by its weakest link, therefore pressure from the rest of the global south to not be that weakest link will mount.

In a way this increased brutality will isolate the west further and create an enemy in their victims who is increasingly united.

I expect that initially this strategy will he successful, a shock of sorts, however I think it will quickly burn out its effectiveness as globalized brutality is unsustainable. We may then see countries begin taking measures similar to the Sahel revolutions in order to combat this new development, leading to the west fully committing to these campaigns.

Eventually sparse interconnected regional alliances who turned to “authoritarianism”, as the west will call it, will cooperate with another to cover there weaknesses against the western terror plots.

Perhaps my view is too hopeful or I am missing a key factor but, I honestly think these color coups may be, though initially more brutal, significantly less compotent then the former color revolutions.

I’m heavily doubtful of China doing this at all. I’d imagine they’d see it as a breach of their non-interventionist policy, though if anyone has information that contradicts me then please tell me.

I found this Business Insider Article discussing the possibility of destroying chip factories that was pushed 2 years ago.

I’m still a bit confused on all the differences between a color coup and color revolution.

Is the article stating that color coups forgoe the idea of taking control over the state and instead are entirely focused on making governing impossible? That doesn’t seem to me any different from the stages before a color revolution.

Why is Syria today under Jolani a color coup vs a color revolution? The brutality of it seems consistent with Latin American color revolutions like Chile.

The use of a protracted terror seems more like a tactic that the West uses to take advantage of in West Asia rather then a new devolpment. If they could instigate these kinds of terror cells in Latin America in the event that their first color revolution attempt failed, would they not do it?

The article is definitely informative and is a useful resource however I’m still not entirely sure I understand the difference between a color revolution and color coup.

They could go the Qanon route and just make all their conspiracies about Russia rather then “the deepstate”.

Maybe the majority of Americans will have selective amnesia, as they do every few months, but committed libs may as well be a cult just as delusional as MAGA.

Considering there are few Arabic mainstream news networks that aren’t funded by US vassels, it’s honestly not unexpected that people would be fooled. They have no counter narrative, and never even interact with Shiites unless they are in a country that has a sizable population if them.

It’s still infuriating seeing my Sunni companions snub me over a sectarian farce, because they’d rather believe the largely corrupt Gulf funded media over siding with Iran.

Though today the media landscape is quite different. Online media like telegram, whatsapp, and social media have a larger influence then mainstream media I believe, so perhaps these efforts are losing their effectiveness.

Unfortunately, AJ has gained a lot of clout from their Palestine coverage, which they are utilizing to deceive the masses.

I’d say the material reality of Israel’s actions would be the largest motivator, but I’m not sure the sectarian hatred can be overcome.

So HTS decides to massacare Alawites and try to exterminate the Shiites of Lebanon but they won’t fight Israel who is currently occupying their country?

Of course Jolani is just trying to make a stable situation for Syria according to his supporters. What a ridiculous farce.

The only stability HTS seeks is one born from the eradication of all minorities within Syria, and they don’t care what it takes to get to that point. They’d give up the entire country to finally be rid of the “Mushrik” and “Kafir” which shows where their loyalty truly lies.
