"The role of China and Russia in Myanmar
The Chinese ruling class does not have the bloody history of western imperialism. But in its own ‘backyard’, China is being pushed to act in a nakedly imperialist manner."
BRICS fanboys will hate this analysis.

@TarikCyrilAmar@GoetzSix Surprise, surprise. So every single German parliamentary party is openly Zionist i.e. racist. BSW too. But at least, unlike Die Linke, BSW does not pretend to be a socialist party. Just a bourgeois party as useless as all the others.
Poland's 1956 Poznań uprising saw tens of thousands of workers rise up against the Stalinist bureaucracy. Although brutally crushed, this revolt shook the Moscow and Warsaw regimes, and precipitated revolutionary struggle across the Eastern Bloc.

It is now midday CET and not a single word in the Western Media (Britain, France, Germany, US) about the secret prison /torture centre run by the Azov Corps near Kyiv which caused a massive scandal and confrontation last night.
@ChavieVina67151@KimIversenShow@angeloinchina US imperialism squanders obscene sums on its military and 17 different state intelligence & subversion networks, so I don't question their involvement in most if not all revolutionary uprisings. But it is false to assert that mass uprisings are never more than CIA conspiracies.
@KimIversenShow@angeloinchina It's a pity he is afraid to defend his theory that all popular uprisings (Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, Serbia etc.) are no more than US / CIA conspiracies enacted by useful idiots to weaken BRICS-aligned regimes.
A sure sign of weakness and not intellectual strength.
@KimIversenShow@BrianJBerletic Brian @BrianJBerletic does not accept that there can ever be genuine revolutionary opposition to reactionary, corrupt and oppressive regimes. He only ever sees CIA / US money & conspiracies. If a regime is not aligned with the US, then he believes it is always loved.
@BrianJBerletic@ninesparks726 However reactionary, corrupt, anti-worker & repulsive a regime is that is threatened by mass movements (Bangladesh, Nepal, Serbia, Indonesia etc.) BRICS fanboy Brian Berletic @BrianJBerletic always sides with the status quo & dismisses the mass movements as US imperialist psyops.
The famous "Picard facepalm" meme is from the Star Trek episode "The Drumhead," aired in 1991, in which the crew becomes ensnared in a vicious spiral of national security paranoia, xenophobia, irrational suspicion and runaway confirmation bias and begins to carry out an ever-widening witch hunt against innocent crewmembers, baselessly and opportunistically accusing them of being "Romulan agents," stripping them of their rights and requiring them to prove their innocence.
Picard, having opposed it all along, is eventually hauled before the inquisition himself, provoking the famous "facepalm" gesture. He then refuses to defend himself, instead making a general plea for the entire system of rights that is under attack.
"With the first link the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
His opponent, the inquisitor, enraged by this, loses control and exposes herself as an authoritarian, and her spell is broken.
The episode was originally an allegory for McCarthyism in United States history. It should be required viewing for European establishments today, now a decade deep into a reenactment of the very same pathology, extending a culture of national security suspicion over everything, converting every domain of civilian life into a source of "threats," stigmatising differences of political opinion as "disinformation," thuggishly smearing opponents as being "pro-Russian" and eroding the framework of fundamental rights that gives our societies any claim to being democracies in the first place.
Those of us who know the importance of those rights will have lost count of how many times over recent years, listening to European political leaders lurch further into this psychosis, we have felt like putting our head in our hands in the universal gesture of dismay.
RIP Patrick Stewart
Ian McKellen reciting Shakespeare's writing on racist anti-immigration riots in London during his time.
It is excellent.
They have been banging the same drum for 400 years.
