Willingly accepting to import Ebola into your country has got to be most treasonous act ever done to a people by their leader in any country. This greed is too much.
@Gachara This is why you can't pin all your hopes on one man(the president) to change. This is why we need a new set of people conscious legislators who will be artichlate and brave enough to remove all the redtape through parliament. Unless we are rooting for a dictatorship.
Clara Mattei demonstrates how Marxist critique can calmly dismantle liberal/capitalist assumptions with intellectual rigor, responding not with anger but with patience and clarity that exposes the limits of a narrowly formed worldview.

Every discipline taught in the African university, law, political science, sociology, psychology, history, philosophy, arrives pre-structured by the civilization that created the current world order.
Law arrives as English common law or French civil law, not as a tradition rooted in the actual governance practices of the societies it is supposed to serve.
History arrives with the periodization of European history, ancient, medieval, modern, grafted onto societies for which none of these categories make sense and all of which imply that African history only becomes legible when it intersects with European history.
Psychology arrives as a set of theories developed by studying largely white, educated, Western populations and declared universal.
Philosophy arrives as a tradition that begins in Greece, passes through Rome, arrives in the European Enlightenment, and occasionally, generously, includes a footnote about African philosophy.
The student who completes this education is not educated about their own world.
They are educated into someone else's world.
They graduate literate in the assumptions of their dispossession.
And then they are asked to develop their country using these tools.
The tools were built to explain a different house.
They do not fit the door.
🇧🇷🇨🇺🚨 BREAKING: Lula just said what the world has been thinking. "Stop this damned blockade on Cuba and let the Cuban people live their lives." Cuba has problems. But they are Cuba's problems. Not Lula's. Not Trump's. Not the empire's.
The US has punished Cuba for decades. Sanctions. Blockades. Regime change attempts. None of it worked. Cubans are still standing. Still surviving. Still waiting for the world to let them breathe.
Lula is not begging. He's demanding. The blockade is not policy. It's cruelty. And the world is tired of watching.
Spread the truth. Free Cuba. Not from its leaders. From the blockade. Let the Cuban people live.
They believe their soldiers are heroes by default.
Not because of what they did. Because of the uniform.
This is worth examining.
A soldier who participates in an illegal war based on fabricated intelligence that kills hundreds of thousands of civilians is, in American public culture, a hero deserving of gratitude.
A civilian in that same country who resists that war is an insurgent. An enemy combatant. A terrorist.
The person defending their home from a foreign military that was not invited and had no legal authority to be there, that person is the threat.
The person who flew ten thousand miles to participate in the destruction of that home, that person is the hero.
The moral framework required to sustain this is extraordinary.
It requires you to define heroism entirely by uniform and nationality, rather than by action or justice.
It requires the complete removal of the perspective of the people on the receiving end.
It requires, in other words, that only certain lives come fully into focus.
Vietnam was a thirty-year argument with that framework.
We won the argument
The most annoying thing about being human on Earth right now is the absolute waste of potential.
Brilliant minds and artists could be solving world hunger, climate change, and ending cancer, etc.
We could house, feed, clothe, and care for everyone.
But instead, we’ve decided to let a handful of asshats become billionaires, start wars, murder and imprison people, and keep the majority in poverty while ruining the climate.
It’s so stupid. The wasted ingenuity hurts to think about.
An American voice:
“Listen up, Trump, and every dumb f... in Washington who still thinks the Strait of Hormuz is some kind of American parking lot.
This aint international waters. Never was. Never will be.
Under the law of the sea, every coastal country gets twelve nautical miles of its own goddamn territorial water. The narrowest choke point in Hormuz is only twenty one miles wide. That means Iran and Oman own the whole fucking strait from shore to shore. Overlapping. Locked. Closed. No high seas. No open ocean free for all.
Iran controls the big islands too, Qeshm, Hormuz, Larak, Abu Musa, the whole chain. You sail through, you are in somebody elses house.
Iran never even signed that UNCLOS treaty, so they dont have to play your transit passage game. They say innocent passage and they mean it. You bring guns or you bring trouble, they can say no.
America starts wars because it never learned geography in school. They bomb first, read the map later. Before you drag us into another bloodbath, open a f...ing atlas. The water belongs to the land that touches it. Not to the country that prints the most dollars.
Learn it now or bleed for it later.
How can we still live in a world where Israel is allowed to murder hundreds of people, at least 250, — with 100 bombs dropped in 10 minutes across Lebanon — and there is not a single word of condemnation from Western government?
How can we live with such abomination?
A NEW DAY IS DAWNING AND A NEW WORLD ORDER HAS EMERGED.
Iran has surfaced as a legitimate world power. Many countries around the world are secretly negotiating deals with Iran behind Donald Trump’s back.
When the sand clears, US will be isolated from almost every major country except Israel. With friends like Israel who needs enemies?
We may have lost our financial dominance of our Petrodollar. Our tourism industry is devastated including the billions cities were expecting to make from the World Cup. Atlanta alone loses one billion.
We’ve lost trillions of dollars of military equipment, assets, radar, defense systems, and 13 military bases. Gulf states have been canceling security, defense, and weapons contracts with the US. And signing new deals with Europe and China.
Donald Trump has done a what he does best, —bankruptcies. America, according to the US treasury department is officially insolvent. Only took MAGA 15 months.
MAGA will go down in history as the biggest LOSER in American history.
