9·7 months agoSelf-determination? Who?
Oh great, so he’s a covert Russian white nationalist who only wants to exterminate Muslims in secret.
Wait…
People are ignoring the shit show election in Pakistan for… This?
In a 2007 pro-gun rights video, Navalny presents himself as a “certified nationalist” who wants to exterminate “flies and cockroaches” – while bearded Muslim men appear in cutaways. He whips out a gun and shoots an actor wearing a keffiyeh who tried to “attack” him.
Yeah maybe overt Russian white nationalists shouldn’t be revered and their supporters shouldn’t be given the right to freedom of expression.
Burn the world down baby
The US is ramping up O&G extraction for North America, Norway is ramping up O&G extraction for Europe, meanwhile OPEC+ is instituting stricter supply limits and China is in the process of peaking fossil fuel consumption half a decade ahead of schedule.
Treason talks going well
It was the Russians
It wasn’t the Russians but they were paid by Russia
It wasn’t the Russians but they were brainwashed by Russian propaganda
It wasn’t the Russians but it only happened because Russia was doing bad stuff
It wasn’t the Russians but it was a rogue actor and not the Ukrainians either
It wasn’t the Russians but it was only a small faction in Ukraine
It was the Ukrainians and had no connection with foreign parties
It was the Ukrainians who had grown up or been trained in America, but no further connection
It was the Ukrainians who were brainwashed by American propaganda
It was the Ukrainians who were paid by American private interests
It was the Ukrainians who were paid off by covert forces in the American government
It was the Americans
Just like for Nordstream, I wonder where we will end up on this spectrum…
Coup going well
This is the real issue I have with all Chinese reporting: by government policy, they have proportional ethnic representation (and often overrepresent minorities in government in autonomous regions). Yes, it’s still technically the CPC, but it’s like saying that the BC NDP and federal NDP are the same party with the same interests.
I don’t think it’s actually the same Van Zandt, to be fair. MBFC guy registered the company in some house in the Midwest IIRC.
I love when all my racist fascists unify into a single opposition party. Surely they won’t do anything untoward like, say, forcing Reichstag members to vote for the Enabling Act in 1933 to give them “temporary” powers, right?
I used to not understand how Hitler was able to rise to power. Now I do. It just requires more people like you.
The West takes the idea of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” too far. The West would literally ally itself with the Nazis to fight off the
communistRussian threat.
Party elders were alarmed by his push for a more nationalist message. Defiantly, he recorded a pro-gun rights video in which he compared people from Russia’s mostly Muslim North Caucasus to “cockroaches” and mimicked shooting one with a pistol.
Racist fuck.

People severely underestimate the scale of BYD and it shows. Japanese and Korean car manufacturers have visited BYD factories and left in shock.
Trump pushes the US away from the West. Biden pushes the US away from the rest.

Friendly reminder that China has one of the lowest positive WADA doping test rates in the world. The US tests positive at more than 5x that rate. India tests positive at more than 15x that rate. Russia tests positive at a similar rate as the US.
The US just can’t accept that WADA, which receives more funding from the US than from any other country in the world, isn’t biased towards Americans. We know that 6.5 to 9.2% of US athletes are doping, anyway: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11102888/
But sure, those 6.5% to 9.2% of US athletes are all acting on their own and there’s no system in place to encourage doping (as if the fact that almost 1 in 10 US athletes get away with doping isn’t a system to encourage it).
