I thought only under 21 players could play for the Olympic team?

Is this real? can't find it on his twitter, I thought he called out Trump for supporting Israel.

Your posts are getting a little vague now. Did you watch the video?

But jaw

THERMONUCLEAR

I'll never forgive the US for what they did to Allende. Imagine what the world could have become if Latin America was allowed to flourish. I'll never forget, nor will I forgive.

He's talking about US Liberals, which is what constitutes "Left" there, and in that sense he's absolutely right. Blue Maga is cult like in it's ability to coalesce into a single force behind whoever they're told to. They switched from full throated support for Genocide Joe to Holocaust Harris at the drop of a hat.

Terrible pun, and it's flown over everyone's heads to boot, 3/10

I thought this was fairly common, you have one as head of state and another as head of government. I can't think of that many places where this isn't actually the case.

It's Haram in Islam, that might have something to do with it

beep boop, asshole

Singapore is a pretty significant petroleum and circuitry exporter. They're also, you know, not western.

You know that Cuba, China and Venezuela don't only trade with other socialist countries right? Actually I'm glad you brought up Venezuela, because their biggest trading partner is literally the USA, the same is true for China, but they've got several other large partners besides the US. International trade is something that happens regardless of your government's political leaning, and nearby nations will always prefer trading with each other due to simple pragmatism, unless there is an exceedingly rare situation, like war or severe embargoes.

Bring back the goddamn Orwell bot. Also Volcel Vanguard if we can

As long as you're not in Monaco or the Vatican (is that you, Francis?), there will be a sizeable proletarian class, and potential for a leftist/labor movement. And the idea that your nation is dependent on "capitalism" to survive is not accurate. It's dependent on trading with foreign markets, which is something socialist nations also do, and in most cases, nearly every nation has to in order to prosper. It's not a matter of Socialism or Capitalism, but mutually beneficial trade.

Accidentally praising the efficiency and capacity of Beijing's sewers lol. Around where I live if it rains or snows or whatever for more than 5 hours all the streets are filled with water because city planners have no idea how to do properly deal with overflow.

Lmao. Learn something new every day

Its not actually caused by Romanization though, because if it were, it would have been spelt with an I or a Y, as is usually done when translating the Cyrillic ё, this is almost certainly due to later humorous interpretations, which, to be fair, Semen is a lot funnier of a name.

Slight correction, his name technically is Semyon or Semion, "Semen" is just how anglos would pronounce it because they don't know how to make the Slavic equivalent sound.

Sudan, the war and famine there is criminally underreported, and the UN is dragging it's feet on declaring an actual famine crisis there.

idk where you're going with this, yes it's that Haz

Yes, the very same

That "Other Guy" was Haz, lmao

At this point I have to assume you enjoy reading this sort of thing in some morbid way, because it's clear you keep getting recommended this, and you keep clicking and reading more, which makes it recommend it to you even more often, and the cycle repeats.

I fully expect for you to post increasingly bizarre shit as time goes on, and you dig deeper into this rich vein of insanity you've found for yourself in the algorithm.

Sino soviet split happened once already, who knows, maybe they were hoping to cause another.

I'd rather die of lung cancer at 50 than live to 100 as a Gamer, but that's just me

When I say you are enabling genocide, I am using you in the plural, to refer to the population of your country. You can sealion about this as much as you like, but there is no dialogue here. I answered your question, if a little harshly, and all you've said is non-American opinions on US politics doesn't matter, that's not something I've got to discuss with you.

Of course, doesn't matter that your country is routinely fucking exploiting mine and nearly every other place in the third world (not to mention ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN GENOCIDE), and idiots like you justify and enable it, why should I have an opinion on that? Silly me, I should just quietly watch it happen.

Because I'm not a fucking US American, it's not my are of expertise, and I'd rather that they educate each other than rely on the rest of the world doing their work for them. FFS.

They reserve the right to make fun of German, as does everyone else who got to shoot at Nazis in 45.

That is ridiculous, if I've got every notification and subscription option active, surely it should be top of my feed? Theres no way that many people browse their subscriptions tab over their front page. What a shit website.

Of course if you take up a personal interest, sure you could become invested in politics as you could with any other topic or fascination. But this person in the post is clearly shown to not have any sort of curiosity or interest in that way. Taking up an interest in politics isn't the same as with sport or art, it's something that shapes your day to day life at all times.

The way I see it, interest in politics is similar to interest in one's personal health. Most people don't take a very active interest in it, happy to not think about it so long as there isn't any trouble, while others find it gratifying to do so, and take a more proactive action in learning, improving and teaching others about it.

But for that large number who don't care, they won't want to alter their lifestyle to take up the advice of others who know better. All that is until suddenly they're met with the result of their inaction and inattention, which is when they are easiest to convince.

One only remains apolitical so long as their lives aren't severely affected by the system. Because as long as they think it works well enough for them, they have no incentive to care about it. But as soon as they end up at the wrong end of the scales, that's when they start to look for answers. As a responsible socialist the best you can do is be there when they end up in that situation, and show them the right path.

I've had many "apolitical" friends end up turning to reactionary or fascist ideas once life hits them hard, and I regret that I didn't do a good enough job noticing this or presenting the correct ideas to them on time.

Has Hakim made it big on the algorithm? This video has been recommended to a bunch of my lib friends and they're all talking about it, and weirdly enough it didn't show up for me, despite me being subscribed.

It was more than likely made to comment on the killing and subsequent funeral attack on Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022 by the Israeli occupation.

I used to at the previous town I lived in, around 15 minute commute overall. On good days its very pleasant. But when it rains you'll start wishing you were dead.

I saw that apparently they had him speak right before JB Pritzker. Which has to have been some sort of deliberate humiliation ritual.

Sanders was up there talking about how they needed to get rid of big money in politics, and the guy who speaks right after him is bragging and saying "I'm a real billionaire, unlike Trump" then getting a massive round of cheers.

I'm sure they'd look fine together normally, not fused with the Wehrmacht flag like they are here.

He's got good takes on 90% of things and has good videos, but his personality outside his serious content is very irritating, the guy just enjoys riling people up and being a troll online, which can get annoying fast.

Ultras are basically entitled "leftists" that think AES countries are all revisionists or not "real" socialism, and generally end up falling for US state department propaganda about every foreign socialist project.

I wouldn't call Badempanada an ultra though, his videos on the shining path make that quite unlikely.

Their journalism is a byproduct of being forced into a corner for the better part of the past decade or so by Saudi Arabia and other gulf states hostility towards Qatar for pipeline related reasons. It became convenient for them to speak out against the west and the regimes they backed in the region. Saudi Arabia did eventually reproach with Qatar but Al-Jazeera has maintained their reporting stance despite this.
