stephenthinkpad posted:Today I learnt South Korea had 5-year plans, 5 plans under the authoritarian governments, and 2 plans under democratic government. Last one ended in 1996, I just assume by that time SK had too much American FDI and they told them to knock it off. the united states literally twisted the arms of all the presidential candidates in 1997 to make sure that they did austerity measures when by sheer dumb luck the east asian financial crisis was unfolding at the same time as the election god its hard to believe that hardly five years ago there was a major domestic film about this south koreas balls just straight up disappeared over the last five years id call it a eunuch country but eunuchs have political instincts its a bit of an unfair slam against eunuchs tbh

Most right wing politics is basically about doing the exact opposite of what you claim to do and no more obvious is it when frothing blood and soil nationalists are always the first choice for colonial puppets.

Wonder why the US didn't just formally annex cuba - if nothing else because the country was right next door. i would guess for some generally insane early twentieth century political reason like the concern that cuban senators might be against pensions for the widows of veterans who worked on railroads

yep thats the one structures really neat three interconnected stories ones a regular guy trying to get a loan to expand his small business anothers a woman in a regulatory agency trying to figure out wtfs going on with the governments extremely sus reactions to the unfolding crisis and the third is a stock broker who realizes the crash is incoming because of what international investors are doing and goes rogue to pitch a bunch of his clients on betting that everythings going to hell in a handbasket because the governments official story is a lie some of the reviews compared it to the big short which is really unfair imo for one thing all of the perspective characters in the big short are stock brokers and thats only a third of default and for another thing the stock broker in default is explicitly an american psycho style nutjob default doesnt do the big shorts bullshit of taking these guys at their word that they totally tried to stop the crisis they just unhappily accepted getting filthy rich as a consolation prize i should note that i can say with zero exaggeration that the east asian financial crisis is probably the single most formative event in terms of the modern south korean nation state like even moreso than the democratization in 1987 and its probably the actual reason why the suicide rate started to spike not whatever racist bullshit youve heard from people who arent me on the subject so its very much worth watching

I don't think the new ME war has anything to do with Russia or China, it was mainly triggered by the Saudi Israel deal. But with this war being so intense, there is no way Biden has the energy to fight tech war with Beijing. Also STFU chuck.

Bald Stalin posted:How so? What a Saudi-Israeli Deal Could Mean for the Palestinians This article was posted 1 week ago "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but another radical effort is getting much less attention. Members of Netanyahu’s far-right cabinet seek nothing less than the de facto annexation of the West Bank. If they get their way, it could have a profound effect on the democratic nature of Israel and on the stability of the Middle East. When Netanyahu brought two extreme, ultranationalist parties—the Religious Zionist Party and the Jewish Home Party—into his ruling coalition, he effectively handed control of his government to two ideologues: Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is minister of national security, and Bezalel Smotrich, who is finance minister but who has also been given a special role in the defense ministry. For them, curbing the independence of Israel’s judiciary is just one way, albeit an important one, to facilitate their real agenda: the creation of a Jewish state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea by settling much of the West Bank, snuffing out Palestinian national aspirations, and, in the words of Smotrich, “encouraging” the Palestinians to relocate to other Arab countries, including neighboring Jordan. Most rational people would be quick to dismiss this idea as delusional—there are 3.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank, and 40 percent of the territory is under the control of the Palestinian Authority. Destroying the PA and forcing West Bank Palestinians to leave their homes would cause a huge international furor and a profound crisis in U.S.-Israeli relations. Incorporating the Palestinians into the Jewish state would render Jews a minority ruling over a majority of second-class noncitizens and provide fuel to those critics of Israel who decry it as an “apartheid state.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but another radical effort is getting much less attention.

Netanyahu has afforded Smotrich a special title—minister within the Ministry of Defense—under his actual defense minister, Yoav Gallant, as well as many of the powers needed to initiate the de facto annexation of territory in the West Bank. And wearing his other hat, as finance minister, Smotrich has the means to fund his ambitions while blocking money from flowing to the PA. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 10:00 on Oct 9, 2023 |

I came across this tweet in my feed: https://twitter.com/rohmerfan1127/status/1711490386001334372 the context, of course, is "how do you stage an uprising against an occupying force without engaging in the kind of behavior that draws condemnation", in reference to the idea that Hamas's fight against Israel this week is "wrong" because of civilian casualties back in 2021, I wrote this post: gradenko_2000 posted:Some local news: now, the Ottawa Convention is an international treaty that applies to state-level actors, which the CPP-NPA clearly isn't, so they could not be a party to such a thing however, the NPA still does maintain that they abide by the provisions of the treaty, insofar as the land mines that they do use are "command-detonated". Indeed, the reason why the NPA was able to identify specific persons to be held accountable for the killings in 2021 was due to these persons being the ones responsible for detonating the mine that killed Absalon and two others this did not, and does not, stop the Philippine government and various civil groups and political parties across the spectrum from condemning, and demanding condemnations of, the NPA, for allegedly having violated the Ottawa Conventions I bring this up because if you tried to explain the above to people, that "the NPA can't be a party to a treaty that only national governments can sign" and "the NPA informally abides by the treaty anyway, but it's not a total ban on mines just because it's called the Mine Ban Treaty", you're going to be smeared as a communist-loving atrocity-apologist there is no way to "ethically climb out of hell", because the people that put you in that hell, also get to determine the parameters of the discourse such that anything you do is, by definition, unethical

In WW2, the Yugoslav communists followed fairly similar guidelines to Mao's/CPC's. Similar circumstances, similar necessities, since the masses aren't psychos and also tend to appreciate you not acting towards them like the roving gangs of murderous marauders you're fighting and which your enemies claim you too are. And the overall reasoning as on why was fairly similar to NPAs. But at the end of day, gradenko_2000 posted:there is no way to "ethically climb out of hell", because the people that put you in that hell, also get to determine the parameters of the discourse such that anything you do is, by definition, unethical
