Hong Kong arrests three for 'insulting' Chinese anthem: They were turning their backs, remained seated when China's national anthem was played prior to a football match (www.france24.com)

Football fans in Hong Kong used to boo the national anthem as a show of political discontent, but the government in 2020 banned the practice as part of a wider crackdown following huge democracy protests in the city....

I can’t tell if China wants to be Texas, or Texas wants to be China?

Sips tea “Nationalism.”

t3rmit3,

I used to buy my music on Amazon Music when they offered downloads, but now I buy on iTunes and convert to mp3.

t3rmit3,

Nextcloud, hell yeah!

t3rmit3,

Y’all got one of these cool diy projects for killing whiteflies? xD

Because you don’t like the truth?

“I think it’s so important to understand how immigration enforcement has been a pillar of the Democratic party’s governance for three decades,” activist and scholar of border imperialism Harsha Walia told Intercepted podcast in February 2021, when it was already becoming clear that Biden’s tenure would hardly see the undoing of the border regime.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harsha_Walia

Harsha Walia is a Canadian activist and writer based in Vancouver. She has been involved with No one is illegal, the February 14 Women’s Memorial March Committee, the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre, and several Downtown Eastside housing justice coalitions. Walia has been active in immigration politics, Indigenous rights, feminist, anti-racist, anti-statist, and anti-capitalist movements for over a decade.

Walia is the author of Undoing Border Imperialism (2013) and Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism (2021), co-author of Never Home: Legislating Discrimination in Canadian Immigration (2015), and Red Women Rising: Indigenous Women Survivors in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (2019). She has also contributed to over thirty academic journals, anthologies, magazines, and newspapers.

I feel this person knows what she is talking about.

Apologies, I am just very used to seeing knee-jerk reactions denying Biden’s culpability for his actions, and clearly I’ve developed some knee-jerk reactions of my own that I need to work on.

t3rmit3,

They just need to gamify it. Have a “Verified Accurate Alt-Text Submissions” leaderboard or something.

Inside Enclave Rabia Caracol — An Anarchist Community Center and Cafe in Tijuana, Mexico - UNICORN RIOT (unicornriot.ninja)

On a given day, the five story building (including basement and roof top rooms) houses a variety of projects and dozens of people pass through its open doors.“We have a café, we have a community kitchen where we prepare the free meals. We have a community bike shop in the basement and we have space for events,...

Really, they’re much more open to change than us stodgy Progressives are; they’ll literally change their basic morals in a matter of months! (White) Crime? No problem! Police? First they’re friends, then after J6 they’re fascists, then after the campus protests they’re friends again! If Jesus ever comes back (and they can’t kill him), they’ll change their tune on him as well!

Us damn LIbRuLs on the other hand are so stick-in-the-mud, we won’t even go along with one little genocide, even if our Boss says it’s necessary!

t3rmit3,

I believe they prefer the term “orange cream soda” now, rather than ‘white’ or ‘orange’ separately, in order to be more inclusive.

t3rmit3, (edited )

Yes, obviously they are not actually changing their actual view(s) at all; their only actual view is “what we do is right, what ‘others’ do is wrong”. That stays forever unchanged, it’s just their outward-facing rhetoric that changes.

The laws around felons and felonies is a whole 'nother discussion. It’s an arbitrary category that differs by state, and was only really created in order to give a veneer of legality for punishing certain groups more harshly. But yes, I’d vote for Debs in a heartbeat.

t3rmit3,

Their only real view is that They are Right and Good, and Others are Wrong and Bad.

t3rmit3, (edited )

Conservatives never intended white people to become felons, but they also can’t give away the game by admitting that.

Meanwhile, the “third world shithole” just across the border has elected the first woman president in North America, who is a scientist and a Leftist.

Republicanism/ Conservatism is just fascism and white supremacy in a trench coat.

t3rmit3,

You left out the ‘N’ and the ‘tscape Navigator’

t3rmit3,

FUCK YES.

Good job, jurors. Now it’s up to the courts and justice system to actually do something about it.

t3rmit3, (edited )

Whoa, I was not “comparing disabled people to Nazis”, I said that Nazis should be an oppressed and marginalized group.

what disabled people have to say about the matter

I literally was quoting the links you recommended to read!

trying so hard to justify continuing to use intelligence based insults

There is a disparity in YOUR SOURCES between how they are discussing slurs, and I am asking you what YOU believe, between those sources, is the answer:

  • Affinity is taking an absolute stance against intelligence-based slurs in any form
  • Cultrface is directly offering intelligence-based slurs like “ignorant” and “inept” as acceptable alternatives to 'stupid’
  • Genderbitch is differentiating between “oppressive” slurs and non-oppressive ones, and saying only the power dynamics matter

I’ve removed my first comment, since it was too unproductive.

t3rmit3,

Much of the mainstream media covered this week’s “unified reich” posting as if this were just part of a typical campaign. “Trump’s latest flirtation with Nazi symbolism draws criticism,” one headline in the Hill put it.

Yep, this phenomenon was examined recently by The Intercept, who note that the need to sell news means that media organizations are unable to sustain the level of heightened alarm that Trump and the GOP’s actions merit, because very quickly people burn out (analogous to what in security is called “alert fatigue”) trying to constantly keep up with the unending stream of dangerous rhetoric he spews. So instead it gets treated as old-hat, and normalized, or falls through the cracks.

t3rmit3, (edited )

Yes, but and don’t allow your resistance to be selected and controlled by the owners. Be wary of people telling you the “right” and “wrong” ways to resist. Resistance takes myriad forms, some of them clean, some of them markedly less-so. Some of them legal, some not. Some of them safe, and others dangerous. If you find yourself policing others’ resistance, make sure you aren’t becoming a tool of the Owner Class to funnel resistance into less effective, more easily-ignored or countered methods.

Voting can have an effect, of course, but whether it does is dependent on many things.

if it were true that voting does nothing, nobody would put such effort into discouraging us from voting

This is not necessarily correct.

Never assume that the thing that an opponent loudly and visibly opposes is their actual goal; it may very well be a distraction to keep you from their real goal/ or the real threat to them. That’s not some abstract hypothetical, either; this is done all the time in politics. Putting non-starter provisions in bills in order to expend your opponents’ political capital killing the extreme provisions in order to get your real goals passed, is a common practice, as one example.

An inexperienced opponent telegraphs their real moves unwittingly. An experienced one feints.

t3rmit3, (edited )

I was not talking about tone at all.

And literally nothing I said was an attack on what you said, I was adding to it.

edit: I have changed my first comment to make that clearer.
