@Asad_Ashah I suppose, the other side's rebuttal would be that the government never lent an ear to their recommendations, almost every single program of IMF was left incomplete. Here, to understand a rather nuanced view.

@rafiullahkakar @NadeemfParacha, in response to Your tweet, Targeting Taliban does not allude to change in long term policy. It structurally stands on same principles, it remains exploitative and sceurity centered, hence necessary to invoke the narrative of 50 years of miscalculations.

@sanakhan111234 it is an appeal to Pakistani propagandists to please appoint ur pathetic propagandists wisely. through this content u are soiling Pashtun culture, majority of which is living in our own border. Why do u always portray any conflict in cultural terms.

@AsifDurrani20 What are its policy implications? Did taliban leaders also had taken part in it especially the the members of Quetta shura? Would it compel taliban leadership to revisit their policy towards ttp?

@soulat_pasha He didn't lay down the mechanism to achieve that growth. Even though he had counted some of its failures such as fuel levy, electricity surcharge that has distorted market. But being a proficient macroeconomist i was expecting him lay bare the practical policies.

@rafiullahkakar @Nazranausufzai @mehrubawan ... for the tag of misogynist and racist as par her posts. Despite, being silent everything that has unfurled.
@rafiullahkakar i guess its time to call them out as well for their bigotry.

[no one knows @jacquesderridaw]

@rafiullahkakar @Nazranausufzai @mehrubawan Okay but with due respect you do know that your tweet is now going to feed her pro-operation and anti PTM stance that she has been chanting under the garb of anti Talib position.
Furthermore, you do know that I being part of "99.99 %" supporters of PTM subsequently qualifies....

@ZarrarKhuhro We haven't seen them mastering any tool-use. They are not known for their social relations and neither do they communicate with each other.
So this is just another story apt for sci-fi

@aima_kh While some of the renowned so called leftists ars mocking them for being misogynist and racist, even more, they are now labelled pro-ttp. Imagine being stripped of fundamental rights but the Atchisonians cast a blind eye because you are conditioned inappropriately for them.

That would be on average around RS 2000 for each beggar annually, not a huge amount, considering he is also feeding atleast one other member of the family.
Doesn't look real, when yiu simplify it. does it?

🇨🇴 Colombian President Gustavo Petro reciprocates Trump’s tariffs with 50% tariffs on all US goods entering his country.

Full statement:

Trump, I don’t like traveling to the U.S. much, it’s a bit boring, but I confess there are some merits. I like going to the black neighborhoods in Washington. There, I saw an entire struggle in the U.S. capital between black people and Latinos with barricades, which seemed silly to me because they should unite.

I confess that I like Walt Whitman, Paul Simon, Noam Chomsky, and Miller.

I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who share my blood, are memorable in U.S. history, and I follow them. They were killed by fascists in the U.S. for being labor leaders, executed in the electric chair, much like the fascists in my own country.

I don’t like your oil, Trump, it will destroy humanity due to greed. Maybe one day, along with a glass of whisky, which I accept despite my gastritis, we can talk openly about this, but it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not, nor is any Colombian.

So if you know anyone stubborn, it’s me, period. You can try with your economic strength and arrogance to carry out a coup like you did with Allende. But I will die by my law; I resisted torture, and I resist you. I don’t want slaveholders beside Colombia, we’ve had many, and we’ve freed ourselves. What I want beside Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can’t accompany me, I will go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world, and you didn’t understand it. This is the land of yellow butterflies, the beauty of Remedios, but also of Colonel Aureliano Buendía, of whom I am one, perhaps the last.

You will kill me, but I will survive in my town, which is before yours in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and freedom.

You don’t like our freedom, that’s fine. I don’t shake hands with white slaveholders. I shake hands with libertarian whites, heirs of Lincoln, and with the black and white farmers of the U.S., in front of whose tombs I wept and prayed in a battlefield after walking the mountains of Tuscany and surviving COVID.

They are the U.S., and before them, I kneel, not before anyone else.

Kill me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond.

Colombia, stop looking north now, look to the world. Our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Córdoba, the civilization of that time, from the Roman Latinos of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood carries the resistance of black people made slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory in America, before Washington, before all of America, and there I take shelter in its African songs.

My land is of goldsmithing from the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the world’s first artists in Chiribiquete.

You will never dominate us. The warrior who once rode our land, shouting freedom, is Bolívar.

Our peoples are somewhat fearful, somewhat shy, naïve, and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us by force. Two hundred heroes from all over Latin America rest in Bocas del Toro, now Panama, before Colombia, whom you killed.

I raise a flag, and as Gaitán said, even if I remain alone, it will still fly with Latin American dignity, which is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, immigrant in the U.S.

Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, in addition to being the land of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it, and it will offer you its sweetness.

COLOMBIA, FROM TODAY ON, OPENS UP TO THE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS. WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE, AND HUMANITY.

I am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on our human labor’s products entering the U.S., I will do the same.

Let our people sow maize, which was discovered in Colombia, and feed the world.

Bourdieu’s insight into social class isn’t just about money or jobs—it’s about capital in many forms. Each type (economic, cultural, social, symbolic) can reinforce the others, shaping who holds power in a society… 🧵(1/n)

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The Western ruling class considers China's technological development to be a threat because it undermines a core tenet of the imperial arrangement.

Here's how it works. The states and firms of the imperial core actively seek to prevent sovereign technological development in the global South, while establishing monopoly control over necessary technologies (capital goods, medicines, computers, etc, etc).

This forces the South into a position of dependency, such that they are compelled to export large quantities of (cheapened) industrial and agricultural goods to the core in order to pay for necessary imports.

The result is a massive net flow of material wealth from periphery to core that sustains high levels of material consumption in places like the US and Europe, overwhelmingly to the benefit of their ruling classes. And the core's technology firms enjoy monopoly profits.

But China's technological development is beginning to break Western monopolies, and may give developing countries alternative suppliers for necessary goods at more affordable prices. This poses a fundamental challenge to the imperial arrangement, and the net flow of goods - and profits - that the core enjoys.

The core states will not let this happen easily. All the US saber-rattling against China's development is *not* because China poses a military threat to the territorial United States (it does not), but because it poses a threat to imperial capital.
