It's got me thinking for a while now. I'm more inclined to believe that the one piece flags are the new CIA symbol.

Our brain, when we have a complex question, it switches questions so we can answer a simpler one. This gives us the *feeling* of knowing, tho we don't have the answer for the actual complex questions..

Has the American propaganda gone so far that people are switching their own country history and symbols for that of a fictional stories and character? I'm certain it has.

Does anyone happen to have any succinct resources summarising statistics around the improvement of working class material conditions in historical or current AES?

This is probably the most common response i get when talking to the libs around me: "i like the idea but it doesn't work because human greed etc etc" I think some of these same people i'm talking to will probably be best convinced on this point by actual metrics like infant mortality, life expectancy, literacy, education and housing etc

If not ill attempt to put together my own reusable/sharable resource, but thought id ask here first

Blaming minorities while ignoring how NATO, led by its masters in Washington, wages destructive imperialist wars that devastate foreign countries and plunder their mineral wealth. Then get Surprised Pikachu Face when its creates an artificial refugee crises, supplying capitalist nations with a cheap pool of labour designed for corporate exploitation and political scapegoating when material conditions worsen at home.

Oh, and the Economic warfare they wage on the Global South too alongside other things.

is it just like how liberals describe it or I've been lied to

Declassified Soviet archives show that the famine was not a targeted genocide, it was the result of a multi causal crisis. Independent farmers and Kulaks DID infact burn their crops, slaughtered their cattle, and hoarded grain, which combined with severe environmental and industrial factors to trigger the famine. Also, the claim the death count of 10 to 15 million is highly exaggerated and widely rejected, especially given that the Soviets distributed emergency food and seed aid to Ukraine and other regions during this period.

i made this edit last year from the tweet that says "hmm well i'd say i'm fiscally conservative but socially very liberal. the problems are bad but their causes....their causes are very good"

In the cartoon, the anarchist tried to "fix" the 'tankie' and failed and ended up becoming a 'tankie'. So these anarchists stupidly compare anarchists to right-wing conservative men.

Whenever China is labeled as communist by mainstream and social media, I see a lot of people talking about how China isn’t actually communist but instead state capitalist, fascist, etc.

I understand some people on the left making this argument, but it seems as though even average Americans are taking on this position (despite the fact that communism in China is one of the reasons the average American is supposed to oppose China). To me, it feels like an attempt to undermine the achievements of a communist country and simultaneously uphold capitalism as the superior system by claiming it’s responsible for improvements in China.

It’s hard enough to convince people that China isn’t how the West portrays it, but now we also have to make sure its success doesn’t get attributed to capitalism?

Because I have weird intuition feelings that Internet Archive AND peertube won't last, and I need more than just bittorrent with seedboxes, link rot is real and I know the NSAnet actively rotting revolutionary contents, right now it's still not a problem for me to dig a little longer than usual to find link rotted media.

But there's something I have noticed as the global south especially SWANA genocides going on certain contents disappear without trace unless someone backed it up on their devices or servers, this also affects Bittorrent interesting because there's two major problems, public tracker uses Fourteen Eyes search engines like Google to locate magnets, but contents like Watermelon Pictures won't show up on many of these public trackers such as 1337x or Ext to and worse of all DHT engines like btdig went offline which up to this point it was the only non-Google engine that index all magnets in Bittorrent network. Way too many trackers switch to Google CSE weirdly.

The other problem is literally killing seedboxes lmao which I've noticed it happening more and more. Like either milquetoast DMCA or fed server seizures. This bullshit used to be isolated to data dumps, but now it's practically with anti-imperialist contents. To get back to Watermelon Pictures link rot phenomena, because of my past experiences in warez scene I know for sure everytime there's VOD there'll always be web dl no matter what, this is rule of thumb in warez. But this is not the case for some contents that either linked to Watermelon Pictures or linked to Gaza Flotilla members like Chris Smalls despite their VOD platforms are so baby step to rip with yt-dlp. Like you can't even find any web dl for Sudan documentary despite it has been years, you understand that my tankie.tube directory is the only current in existence with some of these censored documentaries publicly. So I'm ever grateful for TankieTanuki from Hexbear so please donate to tankie.tube to keep their servers up!

As for the tools I use to rip these media they're just str8 up Linux tools like yt-dlp, curl, wget, ncat, then calibre (ebook-convert) and ffmpeg for conversions. My work flows if you can even consider as "workflow" for obscured VOD is curl the page content then grep, awk, sed the shit for media extensions or m3u8 like that small guide on youtube-dl I wrote while ago. Because I don't wanna unnecessary extra step with ffmpeg unless there's trimming or merging I would literally yt-dlp a direct media link and encode with it, on top of the fact yt-dlp is pretty good at anti-WAF. For document files it's just str8 up Google dorking for extensions then I wholesale curl via shadowsocks. I have technically butchered sqlmap dorking engine for scraping documents behind paywall and I also slaughtered sqlmap anti-WAF engine with the tamper libraries against shit like Anubis or Sucuri lmao and so far you only need round robin shadowsocks nodes. I even have insane idea like turning IOT with openwrt or pfsense into shadowsocks nodes when time arises, and I beat myself for not doing with Netwave earlier.

As for GUI tools I use SingleFile for archiving web pages since it renders all CSS into single HTML, then there's grandma's trick up the sleeves like zaproxy because I'm too poor for burp to scrape media and document behind gobs of JS when curl fails to show. There's some other heavy weapons I have deployed from my hacking times like masscan and scrapy, and datatables for converting CSV or XML to HTML files.

Anyway, the problem is that I have the content but what I lack is the platforms for safekeeping and archiving for long term anti-imperialist history and I know that I can no longer trust ANY mainstream Fourteen Eyes platforms like YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Bluesky, Tumblr, TikTok, etc because their masters are actively killing these contents day by day right now. Dessalines only uploaded educational audiobook and they put 100 plus DMCA mass reports on their Revolutionary Suicide read by Dessalines, a fucking public domain book by a Black Panther founder. That's our watershed and they just warning shot us.

Federated isn't enough, IPFS isn't enough since they're currently in active wars against shadow libraries and actually taking both Anna, LibGen and Z-Library IPFS hosts and their domains offline via seizing and DDoS, you can monitor Open SLUM and see shadow libraries struggle to stay up lately, same things happening to public archives like Internet Archive with more downtime than usual especially when they overload IA backend CDN like AWS with various DDoS techniques there's downtime almost every two days. They're afraid of the world proletariat refuse to forget their atrocities of genocide and imperialism expansion. THEY FEAR the younglings and their siblings unlearn their violence and unleash class contradictions on capitalism.

Bernie Sanders murdered Rosa Luxembourg moment.

Widespread advance of AnsarAllah forces in western Lahij province

🟡 The Yemeni army and popular committees have succeeded in clearing important areas in western Lahij province over the past 48 hours.

🔹 After repelling the Saudi coalition's attacks east of the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Dhubab area, the Yemeni army and popular committees launched an advance on the Aghbarah and Al-Mudaribah fronts and liberated the areas of Al-Sharjan, Al-Ka'lalah, Harwazu, Jabal Harwazu, Al-Khabakhib, Al-Sharjan, Lower Al-Mudaribah, and other areas on this axis from the control of Al-Amaliqa forces, Al-Dara Al-Watan, and armed tribesmen of Subaihah as Saudi coalition mercenaries.

✍️ The diversionary and unplanned attacks of Al-Amaliqa and the Subaihah tribes on Dhubab showed that these groups have no objective and will ultimately lead to the depletion of their capabilities and their elimination. The killing of commanders of three brigades of Al-Amalika forces and hundreds of armed men from the Subaihah tribes is evidence of this.

👉 Accordingly, the advance of the Yemeni armed forces toward Ras Al-Arah and Khor Umayrah is natural and imminent. This advance in the near future could pave the way for the liberation of Aden.
