Yeah agreed, I waited nine hours in the ER for like an acute immediate surgery. And then my insurance tried to accuse me of THREATENING like first responders and forcing the doctors to do surgery on me. They were desperate to not have to pay out lol
its rebranded sovereign citizens bs.
For a while, Maronites aren’t really the majority of the Lebanese population, they transplant themselves to the west and have sub-marginal population growth. Ignoring also the large refugee population that is not maronite at all. They just stopped publishing population data because then the supposed “rights” that the maronite elite feels itself entitled too, have no basis in perceived reality.
Lebanon was created by france as a christian identitarian state. Similar to Jordan, it serves a certain function in the region.
This Bosnia of the near east will implode, as the contradictions are too strong.
But no iphone!!11!!
Born in Philadelphia as well. There is little philos for his delphios in him, smh.
They had NO JEANS and BANANAS! This is literally worse than death!
Could be by accident. I remember I once accidentally downvoted something and only realized it once I searched through my history.
he whole country comes off like a scheme for rich Maronite Christians collaborators to endlessly profit off their little theifdom, but the fact that Muslim Lebanese buy into it as well is crazy.
The Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate was literally created just for the maronites on pressure of the west (especially france) with the Règlement Organique. They actually couldnt be a vivable state so they later begged the french to expand their statelet. Similar to Ukraine, Jordan and Austria, its national identity is very bourgeoisie and exists to shield only small oligarchic sects. I guess most of population only bought in as a reaction of the Syrian invasion. (Not to dismiss hezbollah or anything)
They loved to trout out people like him to “prove” inherent antisemitism of the left.
Many of the new left movement were trapped in idealist thought patters and it never managed to translate into a mass social movement. Most of them became part of the greens (proving the trotskyist to neocon pipeline). The german autumn led to pro-zionism becoming rampant in the defanged left and the creation of the “Radical Decree”, which banned public officials (yes even teachers) from holding “extremist” views until the 90s, a soft form active in all most all federal states to this day. Notably Bavaria, known for its strict policing measures, usage of palantir and general annoyingness.
Reddit was purged of communists starting with the closure of r/chapo and r/genzedong. What remains are those deemed non-threatening.
What can communist streamers/content creators do to improve on these issues?
They mean people like Hasan/Deprogram. Not like ml theory reading streams. The former have like a million strong audience and make “big bucks”. the latter don’t.
Akshually dinos were colorful feathered beasts and I will not accept any slander.
The last part is poignant. Struggle sessions are supposed to led to introspective and leaning. Not “hot takes” and “gotcha” meant to increase social capital “prestige” for those with the “right ideas”.
Lowkey Prolewiki is kinda bare. Especially the african states are kinda meh. Maybe I will try on working on that.
Word. Idk who said it but someone called these people parasocialist and its true. I occasionally listen to some of the more popular “”influencers”” on the left and most people just parrot the points they bring up. Cant even read theory to create your own thoughts.
Bi men exist. And Bi people are likely the largest group of non-heterosexual people, due to evolutionary benefits, they are just heavily in the closet. Almost all gay men have/had to deal with the “straight” guy trying to fool around with them but not really committing due to various internal issues.
well merz has already announced his support. Maybe Slovakia can veto it? Or Spain.
Most Working class people in America arent trumpers. They dont vote at all.
