"Antes los antiguos misioneros venían a las tierras indígenas a evangelizar, ahora vienen a convertirnos a la modernidad... lo que ustedes ofrecen es un mundo de mierda, donde los niños son abusados y las mujeres violadas, donde abusan del diferente".
Capitán zapatista Marcos sobre la nueva evangelización que intentan imponer en sus comunidades indígenas.
@TomasDiziznitch@wjstarck@space_audits You have too much time in your hands, rapist! Too confortable knowing the U S A pardons or is lenient to rapists if they look like you!
Capitalism like to cosplay as some superior economic ideology that’s rooted in liberty and innovation but when it’s just a story of colonizers coming from empty field to the global south to take by force their natural resources
in modern capitalism; a business that merely brings in a steady profit is considered a failure, success is defined by continual unchecked growth
in biology; we have a word for continual unchecked growth: cancer
Brave PLA soldiers trying to block flood water using their bodies — a classic image of Chinese state propaganda in action.
In the midst of devastating floods, state media showcases People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops heroically linking arms and forming human walls against raging torrents to “protect the people and the Party.”
Videos and photos circulate widely, praising their sacrifice as the ultimate display of loyalty and bravery.
But netizens often see through the optics: while soldiers do risk their lives in disaster relief (as in past major floods in Hebei, Anhui, or earlier 1998 events), these dramatic human-shield moments highlight deeper issues — inadequate infrastructure, rushed construction, and a system that prioritizes propaganda over prevention.
Why rely on human bodies when better engineering, early warnings, and transparent governance could save more lives?
This isn’t just heroism; it’s a window into how the CCP turns real emergencies into loyalty spectacles. What do you think — genuine sacrifice or carefully staged narrative for the cameras?
