"No es el mercado quien dicta el rumbo en nuestra nación, sino el Partido y la planificación estatal. Aquí los empresarios no gobiernan, obedecen. No hay espacio para oligarquías que en otros países saquean la riqueza común".

@matiasgarciard @grok Cual es el duo de la historia?

[Elvin Calcaño @elvin_calcano24]

Es muy fácil derechizarse para el ciudadano promedio de hoy lleno. Quien formateado en el paradigma de los pixeles y pantallas no lee ni le interesa el pensamiento mínimamente estructurado. Para ser de derechas en estos tiempos basta con identificar como enemigo al que está más abajo (sobre todo si es de tez oscura y pobre), odiar lo que no se entiende (cualquier idea que no se comprende es cosa de "zurdos") y asumir las injusticias como algo natural. La derecha es, pues, la postura política que más se adapta al paradigma contemporáneo de la verdad como una cuestión de intensidad y las redes sociales, donde prima lo emotivo por sobre el contenido, como principal estructurador de los sentidos comunes.

Es por ello que es muy difícil encontrar candidatos y expresiones partidarias de derecha que sean serias y que al menos digan la verdad. El triunfo de esa pléyade de enfermos mentales como Milei y estafadores con hasta historial delictivo como Trump que hoy hacen de líderes globales contra el progresismo (mega sic) no es accidental. Antes bien, es constitutivo del tiempo presente. Donde a la par que las sociedades se retraen a nivel cognitivo (cada vez la gente piensa menos por sí misma) segmentos significativos de la gente común tienden a derechizarse.

De modo que no es contra los Trump, Milei y Marco Rubio que luchamos los progresistas. Esos son personajes intelectualmente vulgares -de muy baja entidad- que pronto pasarán al basurero de la historia. Luchamos contra un paradigma epocal que configura un nuevo tipo de persona que casi no piensa, que desprecia la ciencia en nombre de absurdas creencias, que le tiene miedo a lo distinto que no le hace daño mientras celebra lo conocido que le oprime y que normaliza la crueldad a nombre de esoterismos religiosos e ideológicos sin ninguna base. La derechización crece de la mano de la idiotización de la gente. Contra eso luchamos.

Afronto todo esto con optimismo de la voluntad, como nos dijera Gramsci. Porque si no hacemos nada el mundo terminará siendo un manicomio derechizado invivible; muchísimo peor que lo que ya es.

Communism is the scariest word there is, because it is the most comprehensively revolutionary and radical force in all world history.

Tell an NPC you're a Communist, and witness decades of MKULTRA cold war programming flash by in their fluoride stare.

A juzgar por los comentarios aquí, en Puerto Rico hay más comunistas que en China.

@thinking_panda has left us. He is one of the few Chinese patriots who tweets mainly in English, like me and @zhao_dashuai . In fact, there are many active Chinese patriots on X, but they mainly choose to post in Chinese. I suggest that more people should follow the choice of ShanghaiPanda to post in English, mainly for three reasons:

1. The readers of Chinese posts are overseas Chinese, Taiwanese, HKers, etc. They actually have no language barriers to access real information about China. They deliberately choose to ignore or not believe it due to various reasons, especially ideology bias, which is deeply rooted. It is very difficult to wake up these people, and Chinese posts on X are very unlikely to change their thinking.

2. However, due to language barriers and the channel monopoly of English media, most non Chinese people's understanding of China is indeed very limited. English posts can provide these people with accurate information and a Chinese perspective, it is much more likely to change their thinking.

In my personal experience, there are quite some staunch Republican supporters in the United States begin to support or at aleast understand my positions after months of debate, these people are relatively less influenced by ideological bias, while I never met any Democratic supporters who experienced such changes.

3. Pro Western Chinese oversea are actually slaves of Westerners in the field of ideology. They don't really decide what they think, but their master Westerners decide. It is meaningless to argue with them on X in Chinese. It is more meaningful to directly engage with Westerners in English. When the masters change minds, the slaves do too.

RIP Shanghai Panda / Thinking Panda. I learned a lot about China because of you.

[DaiWW @BeijingDai]

It seems that ShanghaiPanda has passed away. He should be around the similiar age as me, in his forties. It's really surprising and sad to hear this news.

Many people @ ShanghaiPanda and me when it comes to news about China. I used to think I could meet him someday in Shanghai but I have missed my chance. He is my friend and comrade. He is a determined patriot and a very nice person, with a similar stance like me but much gentler. I missed him.

The Nazis weren’t history’s only monsters.

Japan’s Unit 731 froze prisoners alive, dissected children without anesthesia, and unleashed plague bombs.

At the center was Shirō Ishii, a man more monstrous than history dares to remember.

Here’s the horror they tried to erase:

Man now I like IShowSpeed even more. What an amazing answer and reaction to question why not coming to Israel

This is why Ariel is the best ever.

[Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani]

These words from GSP mean more to me than anyone will ever know. 🙏

"I have to say, Ariel, your job is to deliver the news and you're one of the guys that I really look up to in a way that... Everyone was afraid of the UFC and everybody was always doing what they were being told and you didn't follow that. You stuck to your values and you report the news the way it is, no matter if it was brutal or if it could impact your career. You always stood up for your ideology and I respect that."

[Jeff Nippard @JeffNippard]

Sure, in hindsight, this specific guideline feels like an overreaction but I will never understand why wearing a mask during an emerging global pandemic was so traumatic to people that it still bothers them 5 years later? Health care providers wear a mask literally every day?
