pissinthewind posted:my hottest take is even if russia invades ukraine and does biden style warcrimes on children, biden will largely stay out of the conflict aside from murderous aid or whatever libs are calling it these days and never had any intention of getting involved in the conflict, instead just intending to rile up the media to distract from thousands of dead due to inaction on covid The new term is "life suppression tools." Do better. OK baizuo posted:The whole situation with the Biden admin scaremongering about Russian aggression and trying to provoke a response makes more sense in this light. As someone who used to be a lib until I started radicalizing over the last 3-4 years, I forgot about just how much resentment and animus the typical establishment lib who still believes in Russiagate feels towards Russia because they ruined Her Rightful Turn and inflicted Cheeto Mussolini on America. I used to feel the same way. It comes down to liberals' politics entirely stemming from spite towards Republicans (in the same way as Republicans' politics entirely stem from spite towards liberals - so basically just the way Americans view politics). When it comes to foreign policy, it's only a question of whether a country or foreign political figure is associated with Republicans. Since Trump is associated with Putin in their minds, Russia is the Bad Guy. Ytlaya has issued a correction as of 10:52 on Feb 13, 2022 |

 This is a different polling firm than the last one I posted. The last one was Social Welfare Stations, this one is Pulse Asia. The previous Pulse Asia poll was from Dec 1-6, 2021. This one is from Jan 19-24, 2022. Relative to that previous one: Marcos 53 to 60 Robredo 20 to 16 Pacquiao no change at 8 Domagoso no change at 8 Lacson 6 to 4 de Guzman 0.004 to 0.02 (momentum!) Undecided 5 to 3

strange feelings re Daisy posted:I met many American expats in China that preferred to have sub-Applebees quality Western meals to excellent Chinese food. It always baffled me because Chinese food is very popular even in the US. Real Chinese food is pretty different from the stuff common in the states though and the Chinese eat a lot of stuff western barbarians would turn their noses up at.

I don't think sweetness is really a defining feature of Chinese food here other than one or two dishes which seemed obviously like inventions for western palates. though I think Sichuanese cuisine is the only regional variation I could identify, I'm pretty ignorant otherwise

The BBC radio man said that the Ukrainians are totally infiltrated by the Russians at all levels so we can't share intel with them and that's why we know for sure 100% the invasion is happening IN THREE DAYS and explains why the Ukrainians don't seem to be aware of it. Then they had an interview with a journo in Kyiv and they asked him why he's not evacuating immediately?! and he said he's so used to war and being abused by Putin that he'll be ok. I can't imagine where the media hysteria goes next, surely this is the peak

Anime Schoolgirl posted:Did the post-People Power "workers' party" politics just die off during neoliberalism? In November 1985, Ferdinand Marcos Sr declared that he would hold snap elections. This would have been the first "real" elections that the country would have had since Marcos ran for his second term in 1969. Remember that he declared martial law in 1973 and had been ruling as an autocrat ever since. The idea was that these snap elections would allow him to claw back some kind of democratic legitimacy, in the eyes of the world if not in those of his countrymen. As you probably already know, the election results were disputed: Marcos claimed that he won according to the official count by COMELEC, Cory Aquino claimed that she won according to the independent poll body NAMFREL, and the fallout from this, combined with the mutiny of Fidel Ramos and Juan Ponce Enrile at Camp Crame, lead to the events we now know as People Power. In those days, the faction of the left that weren't actively insurgent (the progressive left, the electoral left, the workers and peasants), were primarily represented by the party known as the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (New Alliance for Patriots), BAYAN for short. There were some vicious debates on whether they should or shouldn't participate in the snap elections. Ultimately, they chose not to. When the Camp Crame mutiny happened, members of BAYAN were some of the first on the scene, but the liberal consensus on history is that the left forsook participating in People Power, and that therefore People Power was a liberal movement, and a liberal revolution. I chose to begin the narrative at this point because it's a clear divergence between left and liberal politics, and a lot of what happens later on is wave after wave of liberalism (and sometimes reactionaries) disciplining the left. Take for example the Mendiola Massacre: January 22, 1987, a group of peasant farmers launches a protest intent on marching towards the Presidential palace to call attention to the lack of action on land reform. They were a throng of about 10,000 protesters, organized by BAYAN and other left-wing parties. State security forces that were blocking and corraling the protesters, at some point in the afternoon opened fire, killing 18 and injuring over a hundred. This was under the administration of Cory Aquino, the woman who had just been elevated to the presidency after the ouster of Ferdinand Marcos Sr. The liberal was disciplining the left. Or the Hacienda Luisita Massacre: November 2004 - the ancestral hacienda of owned by the family of Cory Aquino is occupied by striking tenant farmers protesting the duplicity enacted upon them by the government's refusal to take action on a previously-agreed-upon agrarian reform deal. By the 10th day of the protest, again state security forces that are guarding the site open fire on protesters, killing seven and injuring 121 others. Here's a documentary on Hacienda Luisita that I'd encourage you to watch if you're interested in a deeper look at this incident: https://cinemata.org/view?m=JNqzQioOt And here's a specific shot I want to call out:  This fire truck was used to water-hose the strikers at various times during the protests. Look at the names printed on it. The land belonged to the family of former President Cory Aquino The president in 2004 was Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo The House representative for the district the hacienda was in, was Congressman Benigno Simeon "PNoy" Aquino III, who would succeed Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as President in 2010, and is the son of President Cory Aquino It's a big club, and you ain't in it. Or the Kidapawan Massacre: March 30, 2016, just a month away from the elections, a group of farmers block a road in rural Mindanao in protest over a lack of relief during drought conditions. The police are deployed, and at some point during the dispersal, the police open fire yet again, this time killing three and injuring another 116. The police alleged that it was the protesters that "opened fire" first when they started hurling rocks at the cops. Mar Roxas claimed that the protesters had been infiltrated by communist insurgents, and that they must have been the ones that started the violence. Who is Mar Roxas? He was PNoy Aquino's running mate in 2010. He lost, and was bounced from one cabinet position to another over time, eventually landing as Secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government (Interior Minister in other countries), which has oversight over domestic police policy. He was the liberal candidate for President in 2016, running against Rodrigo Duterte, and he was blaming the police murdering peasant farmers on communist agents. The liberals were disciplining the left. Sidebar posted:I want to digress for a moment here and point out that this plays a lot into how Marcos and Duterte have managed to successfully attack liberal politics in the Philippines. During the 2016 US election debate, Donald Trump would tell Hillary Clinton "you had eight years to fix it, why didn't you fix it?", and the same sort of rhetoric is deployed here. I'm only bringing up the most egregious incidents, but there's a clear pattern that as much as the right-wing is harsh towards the left (as they should be and always have been), there's an argument to be made that the liberals are even harsher - they need to be, to distinguish themselves from them, and when liberals are in power, the persecution of the left suddenly becomes more rational. Duterte might claim that he wants to shoot the rebels in their genitals and make wild accusations about how they're "brainwashing" university students, and the police under Duterte tend to be disbelieved whenever they come up with a story that this environmental activist was found with an M-16 under their bed to justify their arrest, but if Robredo ever becomes President, I guarantee you that this script is going to flip and people will start giving the police every benefit of the doubt that this activist really was a communist ("they were wearing a Mao shirt!") and that it was the communists that broke the cease-fire and won't you look at this video from the 1980s where Jose Maria Sison claims that teachers unions and women's groups are the "legal front" of the communist party and therefore it's not McCarthyist to call congressional representatives "communist sympathizers" because it's technically true (never mind that there's never been any proof of such a connection ever since the 1980s so we have to keep citing just that one video forever and ever). And it's this dynamic that killed off the electoral left. They're lumped-in with the militant left, and made to suffer a death by a thousand cuts. They still hold something like six seats in the House as of 2019, but that's already one less than their historical high-point of seven seats. Finally, this is also why I find the left's decision to embrace Robredo's candidacy in the name of stopping Marcos to be so distasteful. In the event that Robredo manages to win, these people are not going to give the left anything. Not a loving thing. And in the more likely event that she loses, they're still going to be blamed for why she lost, like they already were blamed for 2016. And maybe that means my personal politics are out there in the wilderness with no real representation anymore, but so be it. Anime Schoolgirl posted:The comedy pit known as Wikipedia calls PDP-Laban leftist and I haven't the faintest clue why other than that they're trying to relate politics to the very reactionary US framework and obviously failing (almost everything else in the world is leftist when you compare it to US politics.) PDP-Laban was arguably a left-of-center party once upon a time. Prior to 2016, they had like one Senate seat and maybe a couple of local offices. The thing about political parties in the Philippines is that they're largely empty vessels with maybe a skeleton crew of ideologues, that then just get taken over by a central figure whenever one of them wants to run for higher office and/or gets into higher office. That's what happened with Duterte: he and his backers wanted to plot a run for President, and PDP-Laban was on the shelf, so they dusted it off and had him run under that party's name. Wikipedia still lists it as leftist because that's what it was in the 80s and they never bothered updating the official line and wikipedia doesn't really dabble in the difference between what a party advertises itself as, versus how it practically governs, which leads to the hilarious mismatch.
