The "Middle Class" was a 50-year fluke designed to prevent a communist revolution during the Cold War. Now that the threat is gone, the elites are systematically dismantling it. You aren't "falling behind"; you’re being pushed back into the peasantry.
CNN: "OMG Communist, Marx, Lenin, Socialism, Soviets!"
It's 2026, there's a far-right corrupt rapist in office, no one can afford anything, people's civil rights are being violated everyday, we don't have time for red scare bullshit.
@InnerDeems@fmykn03@_Stroppyness IQ is also not actually real. It's been proven that you can train to improve your score which if it actually measured innate intelligence should be impossible. Also the original test wasn't about that at all. It was designed to find which kids were behind relative to their age.
One of the world's most famous trees has died after standing in England's Sherwood Forest for around 1,000 years
The 'Major Oak' tree, famously linked to Robin Hood, failed to produce leaves this year after years of heat and drought
China’s 5,000-year civilization learned many things.
Writing.
Statecraft.
Agriculture.
Engineering.
Trade.
Memory.
The one thing it never learned was colonialism.
When Jianzhen sailed east, he carried knowledge, medicine, scripture, and culture.
When Zheng He sailed west, he carried silk, porcelain, spices, and diplomacy.
But when Columbus crossed the ocean, he brought conquest, slavery, disease, and genocide.
That is the difference.
America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand were built on stolen land, indigenous graves, and colonial violence.
France fed itself from Africa for centuries, while Africa was drained of blood, labor, minerals, currency, and sovereignty.
And now the West looks at China building ports, railways, schools, cultural centers, hotels, and infrastructure in Africa and calls it a “debt trap.”
Please.
The real trap was the hole Europe dug in Africa and called civilization.
China is not doing charity in Africa.
Nor should it.
Africa is not a beggar.
Africa is not a slave.
Africa is not a museum of Western guilt.
China treats Africa as a long-term partner capable of growth, strength, and self-renewal.
That is why the West is terrified.
Because China is not teaching Africa dependence.
It is helping Africa recover the ability to build, connect, trade, remember, and stand.
And unlike the colonial empires, China has strategic patience.
It can wait for Africa to grow stronger.
It can cooperate without needing to own.
It can build without needing to enslave.
It can invest without turning every port into a military leash.
Because China itself was rebuilt from ruins.
It knows what humiliation means.
It knows what foreign domination means.
It knows the cold of standing in the rain — so it does not mistake shelter for weakness.
It knows what it means to climb back from ashes without becoming the monster that once stepped on you.
The West sees Africa as a wound to exploit.
China sees Africa as a civilization still breathing.
The colonizer fears roads more than guns, because roads teach the colonized how to leave.
We were given a planet that grows its own food, overflowing with trees, fruit, water, medicine, and sunlight, where life itself is abundant and generous. Yet we built systems of debt, competition, division, and war instead of learning to live in balance with it.
Capitalists: capitalism is the only system that lets you chase your dreams
Also capitalists: fck history degrees, literature degrees, art degrees, or any other degree that's not profitable for capitalists to take advantage of
We’re in final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It’s now consuming public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.
On this day in 2016, Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer to ever live, passed away. He was not only a boxing champion, but also a champion of the oppressed. Here he is explaining why he refused to fight in the US’ imperial war on Vietnam🇻🇳:
‘My conscience won’t let me go shoot my brother…some poor hungry people in the mud, for big, powerful America…they never called me n*****, they never lynched me.’
