true, but this is funny too

Argentina is so cooked, only way to save it would be a complete overthrow of the peronists or whatever

I love that though, maybe it’s just my writer brain talking but I love when either I’m decently surprised by a twist, or predict it and go, “Hah! I knew it, that’s so cool!”

yeah federation and fediverses attempt to bring back this sorta controlled cultural space while still being connected to the broader culture

Doing CNC while playing CNC and talking about CNC!

wow, ‘trans (women) people can’t use public bathrooms’ was allowed to exist… for a while? Interesting.

Believe it or not, the world has indeed been made worse, it’s just the era of American Domination due to the collapse of the USSR has waned due to previous socio-cultural issues ramping up and COVID-19 as well as the general beginning of change across the world due to the old generation dying out

I swear if Zohran wins and defies ICE and Trump responds with like calls to arrest him and like Zohran doesn’t form the New York City Commune I’m going to… crash out lol

What I’m getting at is I HOPE that Zohran does what he says he’s going to do in NYC, and that if he is stopped he’ll actually try everything to remove that blockage. I mean, we haven’t seen Trump blatantly try to remove someone after an election (yet) so maybe the libs will pick up guns instead of signs or whatever lol I don’t have a good in-depth analysis I’m just joking around

Oh, the english version, I’m guessing? Or is the chinese version also affected because of the dataset?

What do we use for that anyway, DeepSeek? Though unfortunately, it’s censored for some reason, just mentioniong Mao or The Cultural Revolution makes it censor itself.

I’ll try to be as honest as I can be, since I’m like super communist in my lib space IRL but pretty much a baby leftist here, and since certain websites are being blocked by PLDT, a telecom company that follows the gov’s ‘laws and regulations’ (bayan’s website, sison’s website) I struggle to link good accessible primary sources but here;

1. I do not know much about this issue specifically, but due to the government suppression and red-tagging of Bayan related members (KMU, other trade unionists, protesters…) I do not know if they have a direct connection, but since the CPP in their website (the new one that I linked) displays Bayan related statements and news, I think that after the Second Rectification Movement of theirs, which is this they have been ambivalent to the electoral movement, from what I can tell. I haven’t seen any news (I think) about any left division, and I know the media will be all over it since GMA did that here. I think the CPP and Bayan have been careful to not explicitly associate with each other for more than being for national democracy and being the left.

2. Gotta be real with you, it’s… deadlocked in a lot of ways. Most of the cities, including where I live, are ran by a family, you could say, a political dynasty. So, often, it’s hard to get a left non-dynasty related politican on, especially in the provincial governing areas. As for the national, there’s Akbayan (SocDem type) and Makabayan in the House of Representatives and Partylist stuff, but they are a minority unfortunately, and are almost always either supporting liberals (such as the case with Akbayan in KiBam) or not getting much votes than like tens of millions, such as Makabayan during that time, which you can see here, that they’re somewhat popular, but still dwarfed by the libs, Marcos and Duterte. Though, the general left (including the libs) occasionally get, for example, some reforms done such as this old ‘free tuition bill’ but this is basically step one, and so, the progressives have to work with them in some regards and some bills.

3. NTF-ELCAC… Ugh, the "National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict’. It is the formal government presidential taskforce to, what? Red-tag all leftists, destroy them and their livelihoods, and be explicitly linked to the human rights violations of the AFP and PNP. It’s… been the usual red-tagging some days, it’s not as oppressive as they’d hoped though. I think if we get our way, it’ll be dismantled, because of the increasing consciousness of Filipinos due to the anti-corruption protests and flood control scandal. But if you want like, proof of people condemning it and the like, it’s:

Bulatlat Article on Irene Khan, UN Expert recomending abolition of NTF-ELCAC

CNN Article (unfortunately) about Ka Leody Guzman of BMP against NTF-ELCAC and Anti-Terror Law

Other sources and statements can be found in this wikipedia article, about it, surprisingly enough.

Oh yeah, the CPP’s website has some articles on it! IBON is focused on the economy generally, and does research on it, but generally follows Makabayan Bloc on how to fix it (Makabayan being one of the legal mass national democratic organizations)

https://www.ibon.org/high-prices-senatoriables/

This is my source for IBON and Makabayan agreeing to policies

https://philippinerevolution.nu/angbayan/progressive-groups-condemn-ph-australia-war-games-in-capiz/

This one is about Australia mainly, and focuses on the imperialism happening.

Oh, and note that Makabayan Bloc is focused on electoralism generally, while still being part of Bayan (BAM) the wider natdem organization. Though, it seems that their website is censored in the PH as I had to use… means to see it.

I do also have a chaotic time management thing, I wake up, eat, shower, drink coffee then obsessively work until I burn out then scroll youtube/lemmy, go outside, touch grass, roll around in grass, then go back home, eat and scroll, obsessively work with coffee, then, toothbrush, then sleep!

Such a fun time.

Until we have evidence for a higher sentience from plants this is just how living organisms develop and evolve alongside other organisms who they have a symbiotic with.

I love my state of intensity and volatility it makes me so productive!!! (Well, I’m exaggerating of course, but you get it)

i guess it makes sense platner disassociating from being radical for the electoral victory but damn.

hey at least they acted ashamed before lol

1. most ‘trustworthy’ politician
2. arrested for something
3. is going to be arrested for something

That is true, a combination of both I think is the best. But, under Capitalism, the IRL experience is getting progressively worse and worse so people go into the Internet to escape that hell.

I mean, they’re already trying to make him one lol. Or be replaced by another ‘charismatic’ conservative, like Tucker.

If the dems can somehow grow that spine or move left to their actual base, then maybe… but until then, good luck USA.
