Freedom, not liberalism--for the latter has meant, in practice, freedom for the global rich, and eternal toil for the rest, with the governments soundly asleep.

Even if you think that Putin/Russia are totally at fault vis-à-vis Ukraine, and agree with all the sanctions, etc. that the EU has done, surely you agree that freedom of speech ought to NOT be abridged, unless war is actually declared? Well, not in this EU https://t.co/RUv1TuVapf

When filming in Cuba Irish actor Maureen O Hara often met with Fidel Castro (pictured) and Che Guevara, and was particularly struck by Che's knowledge of Ireland.

"When we arrived in Havana on April 15, 1959 (filming 'Our Man in Havana'), Cuba was a country experiencing revolutionary change. How could I not meet Che?

Che Guevara was often at the Capri Hotel. I would see him at the restaurant and he'd come to my table to say hello.

Che would talk about Ireland and all the guerilla warfare that had taken place there.

He knew every battle in Ireland and all of its history. Che knew more about Ireland than John Ford did.

I couldn't believe it and finally asked, 'Che, you know so much about Ireland and talk constantly about it. How do you know so much?'

He said, 'Well, my grandmother's name was Lynch and I learned everything I know about Ireland at her knee.'

He was Che Guevara Lynch! That famous cap he wore was an Irish rebel's cap (black beret).

I spent a great deal of time with Che Guevara while I was in Havana.

I believe he was far less a mercenary than he was a freedom fighter.

Today he is a symbol for freedom fighters wherever they are in the world and I think he is a good one."

Could not have said it any better. And for those that think that anti-Zionism is the same as anti-Semitism: TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ARSE ALREADY!!

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

my hatred of Zionist scum, particularly those who hide behind liberal, progressive, pseudo-radical covering, cannot be expressed in words. They are the most degenerate, depraved, sadistic, morally vacuous genocidal scumfuck pieces of shit I have ever come across, and I will never stop spending as much of my time as I can to opposing them by whatever means I can

[Bruno Carvalho @bcarloscarvalho]

A consequência natural é o crescente apoio ao Hezbollah, a única força que se predispõe a defender a soberania do seu país. Isto devia servir de lição ao presidente libanês. Israel quer a divisão do Estado libanês, a sua fragilização e a guerra civil para que o possa controlar.

Querem destruir-te até não sobrar mais que um escravo cansado demais para existir para além do consumo. Porque se não tiveres medo de perder a casa, a comida, a saúde, não aceitas trabalhar tanto por tão pouco. Lutar por direitos laborais é lutar pela nossa existência.

Meanwhile on Chinese TV: "I visited California in the 80s. They were promising high-speed rail. China didn't even have highways."

40 years later, they have built zero. China: biggest high speed rail network.

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

The intellectual life was never something that only the elites enjoyed.

In England there has long existed a massive, self-directed culture of education among working-class people. Coal miners in industrial England read voraciously, with many even self-studying Latin or history after long shifts underground or in factories.

Coal miners, mill workers, and mechanics built their own libraries and formed reading societies to study Shakespeare, Dickens, Milton, even Plato. A grassroots intellectual movement that grew independent of elite institutions.

Jonathan Rose makes this case in "The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes", one of the most illuminating cultural histories of recent decades.

While elites might have consumed culture for status, ordinary readers engaged with it morally and personally, seeing in Shakespeare and the classics a means of moral development and self-mastery. This revelation directly challenges the 20th-century academic assumption (inspired by postmodernism and Marxist cultural studies) that "high culture" is inherently exclusionary.

Pulling from autobiographies and letters, Rose shows that workers often described reading as a form of inner liberation, citing writers like Ruskin, Carlyle, and Dickens as their moral guides. They read with a degree of seriousness we rarely see today, treating their books as beloved companions in a lifelong pursuit of wisdom.

The rise of mass media and television following WWII made a preference for reading slowly give way to one for passive entertainment.

And the democratization of education paradoxically coincided with a lowering of intellectual standards — just like how more people than ever attend university today, yet popular culture as a whole is much less intellectually vibrant than it was 50 years ago.

Scott Ritter tells me that CNN and the BBC should stop being treated as journalistic outlets and be called what they are: propaganda tools.

He argues that voices like his are smeared as “Russian propagandists” while real open discussion is more possible here than on major Western networks.

“We’re having a fair and freer conversation here right now than CNN or BBC will ever have.”

[Thomas Fazi @battleforeurope]

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Fazer greve é apenas remover a sua força de trabalho para essa ausência ser sentida. O trabalhador grevista não recebe quando faz greve portanto o tempo é seu para usar como quiser.

Estes sonsos querem acabar com a greve mas não o dizem diretamente. Querem escravos.
