NPR is the loving worst.

Idk if it was this thread or another that recommended the People's History of Ideas Podcast but I really like the soundbite used in the opening episode of Malcolm X saying "China got rid of their Uncle Toms".

Yeah it whips. It wasn’t true sadly, but through it you can see how communist China influenced Malcolm X

crepeface posted:might be different now with how the US sun is setting On the other hand the same is true for the EU in a lot of ways. The main governments except maybe Germany have pretty low public legitimacy and Merkel is retiring. If anything I wouldn't be surprised if EU pols would cling even more to the transatlantic support structures than in earlier times.

They'll maintain those structures so long as they don't interfere with their continental aspirations, like the Russian pipeline.

Cerebral Bore posted:yes, and they're also a designated terrorist organization by most everyone, except the us who dropped the designation in a blatantly political move, but apologists for empire gotta make that apologia lol i think it’s extremely hard if not impossible to get dropped off the list https://twitter.com/davidgraeber/status/1142046096979570688?s=20 the time to do it for PKK would have been maybe two years earlier for maximum effect but it might happen sometime, probably following circumstances we won’t really want to see.

all "terrorist" designations are arbitrary anyway, and militant organizations should be treated as combatants in every circumstance.

Actually the PRC official line now is that since CKS was a staunch advocate of reunification, he's now just a good family man that they happen to disagree with on a few things.

Imran Khan and the PTI are increasingly capitulating to the Islamists on basically everything. Even Nawaz Sharif was better than this.

There were several instances of police officers that went and apologized to the islamists for the crime of doing their jobs. Taimur Rahman is a good follow if you want some tidbits about the country. He's the general secretary of the CPP. https://twitter.com/taimur_laal Also here is an interview with him about the belt and road and pakistan, which was cut from a larger interview I think I linked earlier in the thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfv368SP_aU

Awesome. I listen to Shehzad Ghias sometimes, but he only does Urdu content (albeit mixed with alot of english), however he's kind of a Western style "Campus Leftist".

I'll check them out. It's very hard finding english sources about pakistan. I am from the hinduvata controlled country next door, so I don't have a big issue with urdu/punjabi. It makes it very hard to share stuff though lol.

Yeah Im from Canada but from a very brown Suburb of Toronto so I can speak/understand Urdu and Punjabi pretty well and manage to keep in touch with the politics back there. It's crazy how much the diaspora backs the PTI though. Imran Khan is basically a populist but only in regards to the upper middle class if that makes sense.

My parents never really spoke it either, so I only picked it up as an adult. It's nice that several spoken languages across the subcontinent are similar. The only people I have had trouble understanding are some Sindhi family friends we have.

Has this thread discussed how during the ceremony the order of Taiwan in the opening ceremony was done as if their name was "Taiwan" instead of the official name of Chinese Taipei for the Olympic team? Apparently Tencent also temporarily cut off live coverage in order to not show that, but kept it off too long and cut off China's entrance as well? https://twitter.com/BangXiao_/status/1418576746312392710?s=20 https://twitter.com/BangXiao_/status/1418576752943587328?s=20 Haven't seen much beyond tweets about it so dunno about veracity but lol if true.

Yeah, I don't know why the PRC would have a problem with Taiwanese athletes walking in as Chinese Taipei, if anything that was the entire reason was to "resolve" the issue without acknowledging the ROC or an independent Taiwan. I guess the idea is they just hate athletes from particularly that island?

Ardennes posted:Yeah, I don't know why the PRC would have a problem with Taiwanese athletes walking in as Chinese Taipei, if anything that was the entire reason was to "resolve" the issue without acknowledging the ROC or an independent Taiwan. In this case it's because Taiwan was ordered as "Taiwan" in the ceremony. The order of countries is done in the alphabetic/syllabic order of the host country, which in the case of Japan is the Gojūon. Taiwan was placed in that order as if they were "Taiwan" instead of "Chinese Taipei", i.e. they were placed between South Korea and Tajikistan: South Korea - 大韓民国 "Daikanminkoku" > Taiwan/Chinese Taipei - 台湾 "Taiwan" > Taijikistan - タジキスタン "Tajikisutan" If they were Chinese Taipei (チャイニーズ・タイペイ "Chainiizu Taipei") they'd be in a different spot. So it's a subtle way of calling them Taiwan instead of Chinese Taipei without doing it too openly... maybe. The NHK announcers also referred to them as Taiwan.
