The New York Times accidentally revealed the moral bankruptcy of capitalism.
China is making breakthroughs in cancer drugs, clinical trials, biotech research, and life-saving medicines.
The first American reaction is not:
“How many patients can this save?”
It is:
“Will this threaten U.S. dominance?”
“Will American biotech lose its edge?”
“Will Big Pharma struggle to keep up?”
That tells you everything.
In a sane world, better cancer drugs would be a human victory.
In Washington’s world, even medicine becomes a battlefield the moment China helps people live.
China’s biotech rise is not just about winning.
It is about responsibility to a massive patient population that cannot wait for American monopolies, American prices, or American permission.
Cancer patients do not care about U.S. dominance.
They care about staying alive.
And that is exactly why China cannot leave this field to America.
Meanwhile on Chinese TV: "I visited California in the 80s. They were promising high-speed rail. China didn't even have highways."
40 years later, they have built zero. China: biggest high speed rail network.
"The superiority of socialism is clear."
Just so everyone is clear, the gripe here is that China is destroying the profits of the western bourgeoisie, because they are forced to make their products cheaper to compete with Chinese competitors.
This is the central argument of 100% of all western economic analysis of China. The more affordable China's products, the more it destroys their monopolies and their profit margins.
As always, the purpose of such propagandists, as well as their "elected" governments, is to make the interests of the bourgeoisie appear like the national interests of their respective countries. It's the first rule of bourgeois economics: What's good for the bourgeoisie is good for the proletariat.
something about this guy delivering the order and not giving a shit about the artificial sun rising and falling behind him just feels profound and kind of sad
Israel spent 2 years running an elaborate lobbying campaign to have Hamas added to this UN sex-abuse blacklist, making the case that the UN designation was thorough, evidence-based and widely respected, which was why it was so important for them to get Hamas added to it.
Now that Israel has been added to it, they say the whole thing is a sham.
Body cam footage out of Palm Beach, Florida, is going viral after a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy pulled over and ticketed a woman for using a phone in her right hand while driving, only for the woman to reveal she is an amputee missing that very hand.
It is pretty astonishing that Ukrainian drones struck oil infrastructure in Latvia, triggering the resignation both of Prime Minister Evika Siliņa and Defence Minister Andris Sprūds in May 2026, and the story barely made the headlines.
Lula is such a fucking snake. He offers comfort to Bolivian fascists, kisses Trump’s ass, betrays Maduro, blesses Noboa’s fraud in Ecuador, glad-hands Syria’s Al-Al-Qaeda dictador & HASN’T SENT A DROP of oil to Cuba to defy Trump’s Naziesque fuel blockade.
A peer-reviewed study found Black patients matched with Black doctors were 27% less likely to die in the hospital. A separate study found Black residents live longer in counties with more Black primary care physicians. “Find A Black Doctor” exists because the disparities are real
Ben-Gvir doesn't represent Israel.
The Israeli government doesn't represent Israel.
Polls don't represent Israel.
Israelis on social media don't represent Israel.
Only thing that represents Israel: C-list celebs who took a trip to Tel Aviv and now Understand The Middle East.
An important rule of thumb. If a revolt is a genuine revolt for the people, to increase the power of the people, global media will ignore and suppress it.
If a revolt is organised and funded by US imperialism to overthrow an inconvenient or opposing govt, it will be everywhere.
I talked to a woman in Gaza this week and I was the first Jew she ever talked to who wasn’t an Israeli solider.
So when I asked who made the hole in her ceiling and she said “you did”. I got that she wasn’t being antisemitic.
