really good example of chinese capitalism [and their vapid supporters]: commodifying maoist aesthetics to create a product that uses cobalt mined by congolese slaves
Please stop comparing dying from poverty to Darwin’s “survival of the fittest.” Poverty is a social construct driven by wealth hoarding in the post industrial age, not by any natural shortage of resources.
US truly is a melting pot of the craziest self hating diaspora of all nations who learn the words civilisation, liberty, freedom and democracy from the world's most infamous war profiteers, neocons and genocide architects.
We Are Not Foundational Black Americans!
In this clip, African American political commentator Chainslayer vehemently refutes the ridiculous claim that Black people in the US are “foundational,” as in native to and belonging to the United States.
This is a claim that has been vigorously pushed by the so-called "Foundational Black American” (FBA) movement, whose leadership has funding ties with the right-wing Heritage Foundation. The FBA movement has incubated a pseudoreligious, self-denialist belief system surrounding the identity of Black people in the US, including fierce refusal to acknowledge their African heritage, anti-historical denial of the centuries-long kidnapping, tr*fficking and ensl*vement of Africans in the Americas, and reflexive hostility toward any other African-heritage populations, including Caribbeans and continental Africans.

Why is it that actual human jobs like baker, florist, teacher, and childcare worker barely pay a livable wage, while fake jobs like AI specialist bootlicker, marketing campaign parasite, and synergy consultant are pulling six figures?
I just want you to remember. That we live in a world where octopuses dream, otters have a favorite shell that they carry with them all their lives, cows have best friends, and bees have different "dialects" of dance depending on the region. Cats purr at a frequency that accelerates bone healing, the forest grows flowers first after a fire, and dolphins give each other names and respond to them. Penguins make proposals by giving each other the most beautiful pebble
People avoid thinking like it's the plague. Take the criticism of China as being weak on Palestine for example.
I claim that it is shamefully weak, and hundreds of people are pushing back: you don't get it, the geopolitics, and the considerations (and maybe you are still a Zionist).
But say China decided to be a lot more assertive and aggressive on Palestine tomorrow morning, would the same people argue against this move, saying that China does not understand geopolitics and focuses on performative purity tests? Of course not. If that was what China Chose to do, the people who attack me would celebrate China as a brave global leader and freer of the human spirit, and so on.
And what if China had decided to focus on Palestine a decade ago? Would these account oppose it and demand China shift back to a more balanced approach?
Of course not.
But when they hear someone criticize China, they rush to defend it, even if they would have defended the opposite stance if that was what China chose to do.
This is because these people are not thinking. They practice a sort of blind loyalty: whatever China chooses to do is good, and whatever it doesn't do, is not good.
Practicing blind loyalty makes you stupid, and always, eventually, or immediately, immoral. It also means foregoing any political power and agency you might otherwise have.
I will not waste my time arguing with people who do not think. I will use my platform to push for changes I see as positive, because that's what we're here for. No to be fanboys and fangirls of this or that power.
But I will offer people the good service of checking to see if they defend stuff because it is the right thing, or because this is what people and institutions they have been programmed to think of as good say is the right thing.
Thank you
People ask me what China has done wrong. I will answer simply:
1. Every country that maintains diplomatic ties with Israel is complicit in the destruction of Palestine. So China is complicit.
2. China does not promote or practice BDS.
3. China does not condemn Zionism as a form of racism and colonialism.
4. China has not enacted any sanctions against any individual or entity involved in the Gaza Holocaust and/or the apartheid in Palestine.
5. China is extremely weak in condemning Western colonialism in general, which has a disastrously negative impact of global political discourse - including Palestine.
6. China decided to not make Palestine or the Gaza Holocaust a pilar of its foreign policy. This is understood as quiet agreement and normalization.
Conclusion: China is severely lacking in moral clarity and acts as Israel's silent partner in exterminating Palestine. I hope this at least clarifies all doubt about why I claim this
The fact that China, as an established world power and a formerly colonized country, chose to not stand with Palestine at its darkest hour will forever tarnish China's legacy
Content Monetization and The Hijack of Africa's Digital Space
The digital gold rush in Africa is a deliberate structural trap. By incentivizing sensationalism over substance, global platforms have effectively co-opted the creative energy of a generation, steering millions away from the urgent work of reclaiming sovereign narrative and towards a cycle of 'engagement' that hollows out our intellectual discourse.
The Spearhead’s @Big_Mck reports that real digital independence starts with the courage to choose quality over clicks; a challenge that demands a deliberate commitment from every viewer to amplify rather than just consume.
