Have you watched Red Dawn (2012)? Same plot, except the invaders are East Asian communists with Russian help. The producers wanted to show the movie in China, so they changed the communist villains from Chinese to North Koreans. Of course, all the actors still look Chinese, though.

The sheer audacity to think that Chinese people wouldn’t know. Of course, the movie performed extremely poorly in China.

You have nothing to be ashamed of. Shame on them if they think they’re better than you just because their parents got lucky or came here on H1B visas.

I’m a Chinese American student also, DM me if you’d like to talk.

Trump should take the money ‘saved’ by DOGE to carve his face on that too! /s. There’s a bill for it already: https://luna.house.gov/posts/breaking-rep-luna-introduces-legislation-to-carve-president-trump-on-mount-rushmore

Here’s an official promo image from the representative herself:

I don’t think the DRC is organized enough for that. Ever since Belgium dissolved Patrice Lumumba and DRC independence in sulfuric acid, the DRC has not been allowed any breathing room.

Just in May 2024, a US and UK-backed attempted coup occured in the DRC.^[1] Luckily they didn’t succeed and the traitors were shot and sentenced to death.

You bring up a great point. Russia has invited the BRIC members of BRICS alongside Eastern Europe and Israel. It would make sense for them to talk.

Brazil has scheduled the next BRICS summit for July 2025, which is bad timing. What can you do in only half a year? Pepe Escobar says their excuse is that they need to prepare for COP 30, but it is more likely that Brazil’s pro-West capitalist faction still dislikes the BRICS and forced Lula’s hand. ^[1]

Faced with such Brazilian unreliability, it sure would make sense to meet up somewhere earlier. Victory Day is on May 9, which is perfect for pre-planning, especially if BRICS needs to accelerate some projects to have stuff to present in July.

What party would you suggest? You said PSL was meh, though I’ve listened to Eugene speak in person and he definitely knows what he’s talking about. CPUSA is arguably way more compromised. They literally endorsed Kamala on their YouTube. IDK what other party exists that isn’t a straight cult.

Current LLMs have access to much more information than even the best teacher can hope to remember. I already know high school chemistry teachers who are using Perplexity (LLM-enhanced search engine) to plan lesson plans because Perplexity is able to search up all the latest on a topic.

Obviously, a teacher still needs to be in the loop somewhere to ensure a bar of quality on the lesson plan, but there’s no reason why AI can’t just be an enhanced search engine that makes their planning easier, and can help to prevent students from being taught outdated information. I bet you can remember some fact that you learned in school that ended up being wrong later.

For example, the tongue zone taste map you may have seen in anatomy class is completely wrong. In fact, each taste bud is able to sample all the tastes with variations between each taste bud.

Ya’ll please calm the heck down. There are long-running reasons for this invitation. One instance of realpolitik does not suddenly mean ‘Russia bad’, that is liberal thinking.

Before the collapse of the USSR, it had a sizable Jewish minority. The USSR saved many Jews from the Nazis, and most ended up living in the USSR.

After the collapse, that minority immigrated to Israel and make up about 15% of the Israeli population. Many have dual Russian-Israeli passports. 1 in 4 staff members in Israeli universities are native Russian speakers.^[1]

These Russian Jews act both as a potent fifth column promoting Zionism in Russia, and facilitate useful political connections between Israel and Russia. For example, Israel has been rather quiet about Russia’s operations in Ukraine. In return, Russia doesn’t say much about Israel’s genocide in Palestine.

Because of these circumstances, Russia doesn’t readily oppose Israel. When Russia works with Iran, Russia explicitly says that they cannot involve themselves in an Israel-Iran conflict. The most Russia can do without pissing off their Jewish fifth column is to weaken American influence and hope that makes Israel less insane.

In 2024, Israel officially recognized Victory Day as a holiday, and is one of the only non post-Soviet countries to do so. It makes sense that Russia would return the gesture by inviting them to the Victory Day Parade in 2025. ^[2] Israel previously attended the 2018 parade at Russia’s invitation.

Russia has also invited China, India, Brazil, Slovakia, Serbia, and Mahmoud Abbas from the Palestinian Authority.

I don’t like this Russian invitation either, but it makes sense from Russia’s history with Jews. It certainly has better reasons than how much America buddies up with Israel. Russia actually protected Jews in WWII, while America just lies about their pro-Jewish history.

TLDR: Zionists fuck up the relations with Israel of any country they worm their way inside, and Russia is no exception.

There is no reason why it can’t be both CIA communication tool and honeypot.

For example, the Signal devs insist on one centralized server located in the USA. The CIA probably has access to this server, and can by proxy view all message metadata. As long as no-one else has access to this server, Signal’s encryption would protect users from everyone except the CIA.

PS. DON’T USE YOUR FUCKING PHONE NUMBER OR REAL NAME ON SIGNAL.

It’s a TV show presenting how China’s government apparatus prosecutes corrupt officials: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Name_of_the_People_(TV_series)

You’re right about Greta’s leanings toward more radicalism. The previous poster’s point is that people like Greta are touted by media when they’re not radical, but get dropped once they do.

Thus you won’t find these excellent leaders by watching mainstream capitalist media.

Having listened to Eugene Puryear of the PSL speak, his ability to connect cross-cultural historical knowledge with today’s struggles make him a great one to follow: https://www.instagram.com/pslbayarea/reel/DGPasWHRf_h/

Bloom into You is nice and fluffy

Even if Deepseek didn’t explicitly train on ChatGPT output, there’s so much of it pasted across the internet that just by scraping the web, Deepseek would’ve already faced that issue.

This distilling capability is super powerful. If any cutting-edge model can simply be distilled, there is literally no moat around AI. If OpenAI comes out with GPT-infinity, in a few months everyone else will just distill out an equivalent model. That means AI costs (and profits!) should drop to zero over time due to competition.

This matches both Jeremy Rifkin’s concept of zero marginal cost, and Marx’s predictions of the falling rate of profit.

Aren’t vampires immortal? If so, I see only bonuses by choosing the vampire GF.

If blood is needed to sustain your lifetime, animal blood is a widely-available and nutritious food (as it is basically liquid meat). If you need human blood at some point, you can always feed on capitalists during and after the revolution.

I guess that’s one way Zionists can explain why they’re losing. If God really did approve, they could just call him to magically kill all Arabs and expand Israel.

Read Settlers by J Sakai, the entire book addresses this one question for white USians.

Fucking parasites. I know China already has laws against capital flight, but increasing their strength would never hurt. Why would you ever let people make money in your country, with your infrastructure, then have them fuck off as soon as you ask for some of it back?

There are various tools you can use to strip metadata from the final image if you want to.

If you VPN into Russia and check the Russia Ministry of Defense website (https://eng.mil.ru/), they post daily and weekly reports on the progress of the SMO. If you add up all the Ukrainian troop deaths in their report from 22 – 28 June 2024, you get 13820 deaths in the week, which averages to ~2000 per day. Russia also lists a bunch of armored vehicles and aircraft they blew up, I do not know if casualties from them were included in the troop death counts.

Here’s the full report if anyone’s interested:

From 22 June to 28 June 2024, the Russian Armed Forces have carried out 17 group strikes with high-precision weapons and attack unmanned aerial vehicles.

Just how much has Bongbong Marcos’ propaganda fucked up the Philippine people?

I’ve talked to people from the Philippines who say that the Marcos family has made several propaganda movies of themselves, showing themselves as “regular people” (albeit with shittons of jewels and shoes way out of reach of the average Filipino) and benevolent leaders under Ferdinand Marcos’ dictatorship.

This is the same Ferdinand that killed and tortured all his opposition with US support, and robbed ~$7 billion from the Philippines Central Bank when he was finally kicked out to Hawaii.
