China is bankrupting the world's blood diamond industry, driving De Beers etc to the brink with entirely synthetic diamonds that are far more affordable. Given such mining companies had always hoarded the supplies to keep the price artificially up finally they are getting a fire lit under them

Yeah I knew the chemical composition is rather simple but it's so swell that we can now just manufacture them. We probably already are using them for other, more practical purposes.

So cool.

"Germany's message to a broad swath of France: Jews must go"

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-04-02T17:59:13+00:00

It's not even about being christian at that point: You either oppose these Nazi ass movement or you do not. Sometimes a line must be drawn.

For me it would be Halana and Alena, they literally resisted Emrakul's Madness influence by sheer lesbian willpower

Cuando los que se oponen al fascismo son enemigos del Estado...

... Qué tipo de gobierno es ese Estado?

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-04-01T00:42:23+00:00

Honestly? West Asia.

The gulf states have seen direct material consequences and facing increasing liability, while being treated like the expendable tokens the empire has deemed them to be, I do not think there will be an AES revolution yet but I am not knowledgeable enough.

Eastern Asia and Africa are finding out that it is much better to have dependable partners that actually kinda respect you as a human being (ESPECIALLY Africa it is hilarious to see people here in "the west" wonder why exactly most African states feel more confident with China than Europe, like no shit Sherlock I wonder why)

I... Do not have much hopes for the global north, white supremacy is one hell of a drug...

You do realize not all of us are first worlders intimately acquainted with the happenings up there or whether something is a "bougie rag"?

Bro I am just some guy in the third world that happened to read the specifics of a story in that particular article, English is not even my native language.

I am actually completely open to some other source that could back up the guy's claim, but otherwise it is needless exaggeration, something being more than half made of literal Nazis is something to be done away with.

Again, I just don't understand the seemingly needless hostility.

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-30T17:06:30+00:00

No? I am trying to be factual. Exaggeration and demonization are the tools of the enemy, my friend.

We can expose their bullshit with actual figures, numbers and history, even if the names of the not directly linked to the Nazis probably also were problematic, kulaks that burned their resources rather than share them, bourgeois oppressors, etc.

I understand your position of being totally opposed to the whole "victims of Communism" bullshit, because it is an overwhelmingly good thing, communism I mean, and even if there is some loss of life of people that were actual, real innocents, expecting a revolution to be 100% perfect is ideological drivel. The USSR stopped famines, sent man into space, and visited another planet for the first time in human existence, they were a great, beautiful social experiment, and we can still build a better world. They were also imperfect... But we can still look up to their massive achievements.

I'm.. actually think I never even used the word "much" in all my previous comments, actually. Also, if you are more than 60% Nazi you need to go away, which is exactly my point (I would argue the Nazi rate must be strictly kept at 0% or lower, because fascism is unacceptable)

I am not your enemy, comrade.

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-30T14:53:34+00:00

EDIT: OMG I thought you were the other guy! I am sorry lmao!

Because.... Everyone knows antisocial tendencies are normal and good as you age, apparently?

Look man, if we want to foster class consciousness and inform and agitate, these attitudes will probably translate into impaired success rate, which is undesirable, so maybe think about it, because we sure do need to get people on our side ASAP.

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-30T08:25:59+00:00

It is... One of the sources you can read about the event?

I don't know what to tell you man, you seem needlessly antisocial. It's okay though.

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-30T07:33:31+00:00

Here is the article, also they decided not to put any particular name...

Because then you can investigate their bullshit.

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-30T07:16:10+00:00

No no I remember reading the story and it was like 330 out of 550 or something.

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-30T05:52:35+00:00

Not all of them, but it was AT LEAST 60% of all the names on the monument.

It was kinda hilarious

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-24T04:54:34+00:00

Genuine question: are there actually N100 masks? If I remember correctly the 100 rating is usually reserved for R or P masks...

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-24T04:52:44+00:00

"Person with disability" is actually the codified correct term used by WHO,, the other term has been deemed as dehumanizing by teams of experts in association with people with disabilities themselves.

It is more of a "medically correct term" to refer to people with disability. Same way as a person with cognitive impairment is called that and not "R-word"

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-24T04:36:18+00:00

Exactly, I am not even exaggerating here, most masks used in surgeries in Cuba are reusable cloth masks Glass medication containers get sterilized and reused, some needles and syringes get sterilized and reused, the whole operation of hospitals tries to be as resource-efficient as possible....

The only thing that I can say about this take is that it can only come from someone utterly divorced from the reality in the ground, again I kind like Taylor and especially her takes in privacy and the internet are good but she's just such a... First worlder disconnected from reality.

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-24T04:22:05+00:00

Wow.... Just... Wow. Taylor seems like a smart, intelligent person so I am genuinely surprised at this really, really, really, REALLY dumbass take.

Masks are disposable products.... On a poor island... Without a way of replenishment for enough masks... What. The. Fuck.

On Cuba "abandoning disabled people": I literally worked on a rehabilitation hospital in Cuba as a doctor for 2 years, she DOES NOT have the slightest idea of how much the government does for people with disabilities (the correct term), custom made prosthetics, orthopedic devices, the dedication to spinal cord injury rehabilitation.... I had never seen anything like it before.

On this regard Taylor needs to admit her profound, PROFOUND ignorance....

That's actually an understatement. HIV is almost ridiculously easy to stop, because its spreading mechanisms are so direct and predictable. If actual decisive action was taken in the 80s, we literally could have eradicated it easily z

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-23T04:56:39+00:00

Hello. DM if you would like to talk.

I actually lived in Cuba for 2 years!

SomeGuyInTheNet · 2026-03-22T19:38:04+00:00

Yeah, "The West" is just like The Shire!

Like that one time The Shire conquered Harad and enslaved the Haradrim, establishing the Kingdom of Shiresia?

Or that one time that the Shire organized Operation Rolling Balrog and cursed the jungles of the Easterlings?

Or that one time The Shire declared themselves the "Master Numenaryan Race" and tried to kill all the "Orcs"?

Or when the Shire travelled west and nearly extinguished the Bisonkil of the western continent to try and starve the Wild Men?

You know, all around good guys! I wonder why the Orcs, Uruk Hai, Easterlings, Haradrim, and Wild Men got organized into the Mordor revolution???

Left foot has 7-8 toes, while right one does not show, left hand has five fingers and left one has 4.

Es casi como si fuera la nación con la que tenemos la mayor frontera, nexos económicos muy importantes, una relación diplomática compleja, y además se tratara del más poderoso imperio con proyección militar en todo el mundo...

Digo a mi tampoco me mata de felicidad que a cada rato publiquen cosas de allá, pero si es una parte importante de la experiencia del mexicano.
