"New" Scandal Dropped: Blinken lied to Congress about Israel blocking food and medicine into Gaza so US could keep sending them weapons.
  • Ya it's weird because he seemed to have a hard-on for Russia, switch between being friendly with North Korea and threatening them with "fire and fury", and being a complete hawk against China and Iran. That's what happens when you have greed and racism instead of a coherent ideology though I suppose.

    Yet he got promoted to the ultimate job. At least it defeats the idea that America is a meritocracy lol.

  • Sci-fi With an Interesting Vision of Society

    What's some books with an interesting vision of the future? I don't just mean more advanced technology, I mean the way it's organized.

    I find often people can't envision past the society we have now. There's that quote, "It is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism", and it seems more and more true, but sci-fi authors seem best equipped to actually imagine beyond that.

    I've heard some sci-fi authors mentioned in this category before, like Heinlen, Ursula K. Le Guin, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.

    I haven't read any of them lol. Would have no idea where to start within them that fits this category, or what other choices there are that people would suggest.

  • I saw that story on my alt on .world or something but didn't even bother clicking on it lol. I'm guessing they're not even going to bother pretending they have proof? The one video that tries in that thread just used a video of a secondary explosion as proof, which seems... Flimsy. That could be anything flammable in the area struck.

  • I mean, it's been long enough they could just release the vote counts by district, right? It's probably better than the right-wing getting control but still, I was hoping they would have released those sooner rather than later, especially since Machado's proof of pictures of voting receipts without signatures and stuff wasn't very compelling either, but I guess it's just never going to happen.

  • Taiwanese capitalists versus Israeli fascists
  • I'm curious how the US will respond to this, if they do at all. On the one hand, there is their unyielding support to Israel. On the other, they are ruled by capitalists, who can't be happy about this. Although it's mostly finance and tech capitalists and not commodity manufacturers, so maybe they don't care?

  • Who is Loner Box?

    I think that was his name. He just popped up on my YouTube recommended videos with an hour long video replying to a Hakim video about Ukraine. Not sure if it's countering or adding onto.

    The only people who pop up on my recommended list tend to be pretty cool because my algorithm has got me pretty figured out (it's how I discovered Hakim and other leftist video essayists in the first place, and recently revolutionaryth0t who I think has good potential), so normally I'd just give him a chance but that's a long video to watch for a new content creator, and if he sucks I don't want to discover by going through all his videos in case the algorithm thinks that means I like him lol.

    Has the algorithm kept up its good streak or messed up this time? I don't mind watching if he's a lib, as long as he has more good takes than bad takes, or is otherwise educating and entertaining enough (like I'd categorize Wisecrack or Some More News, or lots of non-political channels).
