No it's not libel if it's true
For example it's not libel to say that Israelis love killing children. They have killed more children at a higher rate in a single year than anyone else in the last two decades.
This article is almost two years old and Israel has continued targeting women and children at a disproportionate rate even after the "ceasefire"
This is a country of child killers
Adding this important commentary, as well as noting non-American western nations need to note this too, as many of us co-sign onto the imperialism one way or another.
Someone shared a video of a Chinese billionaire throwing a 30 million dollar wedding in France and honestly if I'm a government officer of the biggest "communist" nation on earth, whose military and economic power could rival the US, I'd be somewhat heated.
I don't like that PRC let these people exist.
Een kritische uiteenzetting
For anyone interested the NCPN (Nieuwe Communistische Partij Nederland) has done a series of long article's on the economic reforms of China in the 70s and 80s. This article includes a section on the reintroduction of income disparities as a form of economic incentivisation.
Unlike a lot of similar discussions, the article series includes a high number of primary source documents published by the CPC during the reforms, allowing for more adequate discussion of how officials in the party saw the economic issues of the period and why they chose the path they did.
if usamerican soldiers are evil due to advancing america as an imperialist state, how are sex workers or other workers in industries people are trafficked into different when it comes to helping a horrible thing develop like that? why are marxist feminists inclusive of sex workers but not veterans and soldiers?
There are two ways of interpreting your ask here.
One is that we should see the volunteer soldiers of the imperialist US military as akin to victims of human trafficking. This is ridiculous. US soldiers absolutely know what they are getting into, even if they may change their minds later down the line. The conditions of military service are laid out ahead of time, US soldiers are more than able to communicate with the outside world and most soldiers already know one or more people in the military to begin with and are capable of talking to them and learning what military service is like. Does the military make it seem as if military service is more glamorous or fulfilling than it actually is? Certainly. But the same goes for job recruiters in any industry. Human trafficking is not merely any instance in which your employer lied to you about the job.
Additionally, this comparison to sex trafficking is all the more outrageous considering the infamous number of rapes, assaults, and murders committed by US armed forces in and around foreign military bases (all of these sources are sympathetic to the US, which only goes to show how pervasive the issue is for pro-US sources to call it out):
Women and the U.S. Military in East Asia, Foreign Policy In Focus, March 1, 1999
From Guardian Angels to Pests to Korean: The United States Forces and Their Criminal Acts in Korean Society, Advances in Applied Sociology, April 2016
Okinawan rights ignored as military crimes persist, East Asia Forum, August 20, 2025
The other interpretation is to assert that victims of human trafficking are just as complicit in the effects of human trafficking on communities as imperialist volunteer soldiers are in the effects of war. This interpretation is nothing more than the worst kind of victim blaming. Human trafficking victims are not volunteers. US soldiers are not so downtrodden that joining the military is the only choice they have. US soldiers are in fact responsible for the very same poverty in periphery nations that leads to widespread human trafficking in the first place, most infamously in recent memory in Libya where open-air slave markets have emerged following the US-backed coup against Gaddafi and extensive US military intervention.

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, an activist of Turkish origin with American citizenship, has ascended to martyrdom after being shot in the head by IOF soldiers during the weekly anti-settlement protest in the town of Beita near Jabal Sbeih, south of Nablus. She was volunteering with the Faz3a campaign to support and protect Palestinian farmers from the violations of the occupation and settlers. Like Rachel Corrie, Aysenur stood in solidarity with Palestinians and chose to pay the ultimate price for her unwavering commitment to liberation and resistance against the occupation. Glory to the martyrs.
Weeks-long psychodrama after four 'Jewish ambulances' were burned including a national address by Starmer about Jewish feelings but fascists trying to burn black people, Muslims and migrants alive barely makes a dent in the national discourse. Two tier nation
Image description: a black and white image of text with a photograph of a woman in a puffer jacket and beanie in the top left corner. The text identifies the woman as “Chernysheva Svetlana Alexandrovna, a victim of crimes committed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the city of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk)”
Her testimony reads: “I lived in Krasnoarmeysk on Pushkin Street. The worst thing the Ukrainian Armed Forces ever did was shoot people. The Ukrainian Armed Forces killed a lot, entered basements and killed. One remained in the basement, a neighbor, a man around 50. The neighbors later searched for him and found him in the basement. He was sitting on a chair with bullets through his knees and his ears cut off. There were cases in the summer, flour was stored in bags. A bag on a bench, two bags of flour inside. People had nothing to eat, so they tried to take it for themselves, but there were explosives in it; a woman's arm was blown off. People are starving and grabbing any food they can. The whole city was telling stories about this. And after that we realized that even if there was some food there, we couldn't touch it, because it could be mined. A neighbor was shot by the Ukrainian Armed Forces near us. There's a well two streets away, and he was going to get water. It's quite an adventure, just going there. Drones are hitting, hitting everything that moves. You have to manage to wait for fog or something to stock up on water and go to the well. So we were going to the well, the neighbor was going, getting some water, going home, and was almost there. They shot someone over there, near the house where Tolstoy Street intersects with Pushkin Street. They killed a guy, 44 years old. He was walking in just galoshes, some kind of vest. He literally didn't live six days before the Russian troops arrived. They also mined the coal mines. The Ukrainian Armed Forces were still in the city. Have you seen where people collect coal during the cold season? People collected coal to heat their homes or whatever was left of them. We went to collect coal. Every house has a coal firebox where people used to buy coal and stockpile it. We arrived, and it was mined. There was an anti-tank mine there, tripwires. I saw it myself. Miraculously, we didn't blow up. There were a lot of tripwires. Tripwires, plastic explosives-they were right there behind the door. In that same coal firebox. Petals were strewn everywhere. My husband, Aleksandr Yanovich Chernyshev, is a miner. He was riding his bicycle and got blown up by a petal. He has broken legs, lacerations, gunpowder burns to his body, and a hole in his eye. An elderly grandmother was killed - a Ukrainian drone struck nearby, too. And a man was also riding a bicycle. It was summer. He suffered injuries there, and they pulled out the shrapnel with magnets. There are no doctors, but we have one person who is more or less familiar with medicine; he tried using a magnet. We did what we could - we have no medications, no cures. Hydrogen peroxide, a magnet, and off we go. The Ukrainian Armed Forces robbed everything and took it away. They were settling in civilian homes. They took everything they needed. They took equipment, bicycles, if they were good, and scooters. They kicked people out of neighborhoods. They'd come in and find a basement they liked, if there was a decent basement in the building, and they'd kick you out. They'd give you a few hours, and if you didn't leave, it meant execution. They'd say, 'Come out, we need your basement, we need a point here.' They tortured people, it's impossible to describe. Isn't that torture? When they kick you out of your home, when they mine everything around you, when they shoot you.”
ID end.
Fox News invited a far right rabbi to speak about the San Diego mosque shooting
I have no words
He would never say this if these terrorists targeted a Shul, he'd call it antisemitism. But when we're targeted, he treats it as a mental illness. Peak Jewish exceptionalism.
Imagine if they invited an Imam when an antisemitic attack occurs and he goes on to say "nah, I believe these kids were simply mentally unwell", every single Zionist organization would be fighting tooth and nail to get that guy deported.
my grandfather's entire (surviving) family fled from germany to brazil fleeing the holocaust. Why do you think I'd support ANOTHER ethnic cleansing under a genocidal fascist government just because it's the jewish people doing the ethnic cleansing this time?
Every gringo that spreads the "south america was a safe haven for Nazis post WW2" myth deserves a slow death.
The US owes its space program to Nazi scientists. West Germany was filled to the brim with Nazis in the army and government. NATO rehabilitated several Nazi and fascist officers to fight communism. The US has statues dedicated to Nazis. Canada has Nazi memorials and applauded an actual OG Nazi soldier at parliament. The West has no moral high ground to speak about South America when your whole political stance for the last 8 decades has been "Nazis are good when they work for us, actually".
Also, the wildest thing about "Nazis fleeing the Allies by going to Brazil" accusation...
BRAZIL WAS A FUCKING ALLY TOO, YOU DIPSHIT IMBECILE.
There are several memorials and statues dedicated to the "Smoking Snakes", the Brazilian Expeditionary Forces, all over Italy.
When Wernher von Braun "fled" to the US, he became a chief engineer at NASA and a hero.
When Josef Mengele fled to Argentina (and later to Brazil), he had to work as a carpenter under several fake names and couchsurf with the few nazi sympathizers he could find before dying alone, shunned and hated by everyone around him.
They keep doing this shit and then start shouting blood libel when people confront them about it
"AI art is stealing Studio Ghibli's work/art without compensation" boy wait until you find out who drew and animated all of those frames and who got paid most for the end result
liberals are all about "stolen labour" when it's an "intellectual property" being stolen from a company, but not so much when it's the proletariat's labour being stolen by companies. funny that huh
obama with a penis: let me pee here
repentant obama: sorry for capitulating to right-wing capital for eight years while i broke records for drone striking civilians then spent every year since i've left office chastising the left for wanting things to change
did you miss the whole 20th century thing? ok so basicly the communists were actually less efficient and more brutal than the capitalists and all marxs predictions turned out to be false and then the communist states all fell or turned to some kind of state capitalism. its over, your like a tradcath clinging to the past
damn you're right i have never once considered the most inane unsupported anti-communist propaganda talking points now that i know that stalin and mao killed a hundred morbilliom people ive decided to become a democrat #imwithher
i know making fun of people like this is low hanging fruit but lol "more brutal than the capitalists" amiguito during the 20th century capitalists committed the holocaust
anti-communism keeps circling back to implicit or explicit holocaust apologia. which could mean nothing,
I need capitalists to look up the famines caused by the UKs capitalist colonialism so bad. India alone suffered more deaths than any communist countries.
The expected loss of life as a result of Britain's colonial occupation of India is estimated to be around 165 million people in just 40 years. This is more than pretty much every death attributable to communism ever.
Parts of the Jewish left believe trauma explains attachment to Zionism. But what they call “trauma” is more likely a collective story than a
The homogenization of vastly different histories into a grand narrative of Jewish trauma points to a desire to tell a palatable story about how Zionism became hegemonic in American Jewish life. Like the original deployment of the lachrymose conception of Jewish history, it relieves Jews of political agency while making historic trauma the focal point of Jewish identity. This time, what gets lost in the mythologized Jewish past is an understanding of the political, economic, and social forces that shaped what scholar Shaul Magid calls the “Zionization of American Jewish life,” like the centralization of financial and communal resources by Jewish communal leadership toward support for the State of Israel. Zionism was not simply adopted by a terrified rank-and-file American Jewry, nor is it a trauma response today; it was, and is, a political project, with specific and evolving strategies aimed at particular, and—it should be emphasized—violent aims.

Thousands of acres of rainforest is being cleared to produce palm oil, used in popular Nestlé and Mondelēz brands
West Papua’s Indigenous people have called for a boycott of KitKat, Smarties and Aero chocolate, Oreo biscuits and Ritz crackers, and the cosmetics brands Pantene and Herbal Essences, over alleged ecocide in their territory.
All are products that contain palm oil and are made, say the campaigners, by companies that source the ingredient directly from West Papua, which has been under Indonesian control since 1963 and where thousands of acres of rainforest are being cleared for agriculture.
More than 90 West Papuan tribes, political organisations and religious groups have endorsed the call for a boycott, which they say should continue until the people of West Papua are given the right to self-determination.
Raki Ap, a spokesperson for the United Liberation Movement for West Papua, which is overseeing the call, said: “These products are linked to human rights violations, in the first place, because West Papuans are being forced, with violence, to get off the land where they’ve lived for thousands of years, which has now resulted in ecocide.
“This is a signal to the countries who are dealing with Indonesia, especially those in the Pacific region, to take notice of who they’re dealing with and how they are basically allowing Indonesia to continue the colonial project in West Papua, the human rights violations, and also ecocide.”
West Papuans say more than 500,000 of their people have been killed by the occupation in the past six decades, while millions of acres of their ancestral lands have been destroyed for corporate profit. Indonesia, already the world’s largest palm oil exporter, is now breaking ground in West Papua on the world’s biggest single palm oil plantation, as well as a sugar cane and biofuel plantation that will be the largest deforestation project ever launched.
“West Papuans’, especially the ULMWP, position is very clear: we are a modern-day colony,” said Ap, speaking from the Netherlands.
“Indonesia hijacked the right to self-determination in 1962 when the Netherlands and Indonesia signed an agreement without any consultation in West Papua … After that, in 1969, there was a so-called referendum, which wasn’t fair, which wasn’t under international law, one man, one vote: just 1,025 men were handpicked at gunpoint to vote for integration to Indonesia.
“So this is the foundation of the Indonesia’s colonial project. When we became part of Indonesia against our will, basically the genocide unfolded.”
Just woke up and they're testing space based solar power in China
The other day the space community got news that the new launch facility at Hainan has blueprints to fit the upcoming Long March 9 rocket, and it has a ridiculous maximum payload fairing diameter of 16 meters
But this makes a lot of sense if you're building space based solar power, which they seem to be taking very seriously. If they make a reusable Long March 9, I'm very sure it could become practical with a rather modest investment.
