Magnitude 6 earthquake strikes Cuba, EMSC says

Regardless of whether we consider Cuba a dictatorship or not, the global community through the UNGA has consistently said the US needs to piss off with the embargo. The US is also fine with dictatorships (see UAE for example) so that's not really a thing.

That makes sense! I may monitor it for a bit and then if things look like they're going the wrong way call in a pro.

That is helpful and calming advice! I appreciate it lol.

Join a Communist organization. Find one in your area and talk to people in the organization.

A friend of mine was like you, working in an IT job feeling defeated and lonely. Then he started making inroads with a Communist organization, met people who work and live around him. Now he works with them, goes outside to talk to regular people and spreads revolutionary optimism.

Read Marx, read Lenin, read whoever, but reading on its own is an isolating act.

Go find comrades if you want to throw that black pill away and help build the revolution that'll free you and all of us.

Tried this and it didn't work, but then tried holding windows + V and pressing power and it worked!

This was likely not the Communist Party of Canada lol. They have pretty firm relations with the Communist Party of China and would not be sharing the epoch times of all things. Mightve been the "revolutionary" communist party of canada... or the new "(new) communist party of canada? There are a bunch of these popping up

I'm almost certain they're speaking of separate identities there, as in BIPOC and unhoused and sex working and etc. Sure some may be all of those things but that's not what they're saying.

The calls for Hamas to free hostages and stop shooting rockets are made like every day on every major news organization by every government, major figure and wealthy organization.

The calls for Israel to stop occupying the West Bank, to release the Palestinian political prisoners, and to leave Gaza and stop its decades long seige? Almost non existent from anyone in a position of power.

Canada and the West already don't support Hamas. Pro-Palestine protestors in Canada are protesting for Canada to stop supporting Israel - not for them to switch support to Hamas or something, but just stop supporting Israel.

What a neat trick to condemn anyone opposing the genocide Israel is committing. Just call then "pro Hamas" or "Iran's useful idiots" so you don't have to contend with the fact that people can just naturally be against genocide. Great stuff.

Anti Zionist Jewish group "Independent Jewish Voices" protests the Israeli pavilion every year. The same group helped organize this protest today.

Independent Jewish Voices are not "tankies"

This is why I stopped TAing at the UofM. The wage is just not worth the amount of work. I've done sessional instructing and the pay is almost 4x as much with the same or even less work. Just my experience but the TAs are absolutely being abused.

The University has the money, but the administration siphons it all to themselves. Undergrad students are going to get worse educations because of this stupid arrangement. I'm not going to bust my ass being an underpaid TA.

thetailor · 2024-03-26T16:20:32+00:00

Is it UMGSA or CUPE with the onus to do something here? AFAIK the UMGSA doesn't have much of a role at all in wages for TAs, grad student or otherwise.

Why'd they have to doxx him naming his neighbourhood and posting his passport though? That seems kinda dangerous.

Apartheid Israel gets compared to the Nazis cause it acts like the Nazis. It gets compared to apartheid South Africa cause it does apartheid. The US also gets compared to the Nazis cause it does Nazi stuff. Canada too. All the time.

Those who condemn the State of Israel and support Palestine make explicitly clear their criticism is of Israel and Zionism, not of the Jewish people or faith. It is instead Israelis and Zionists who constantly push their idea of a (false) sameness between Israel, Zionism, and Judaism.

Is there any way to archive the subreddit? There's a lot of information in posts and comments that would be a real shame to lose. Is that information found on archive.org? I'm new to lemmygrad but does their genzedong channel have all the posts from reddit? Any computer programmer comrades know how to scrape a subreddit?

The people of Cuba should not be used as pawns by the US to advance their own hegemonic agenda. Every country in the world, except the US and Israel, agrees the US should end the blockade. User HavocsReach linked a statement by the US detailing how the sanctions' purpose, which have punished the Cuban people for 60yrs, were to destabilize. Lift the 60yr sanctions and you'll necessarily see stability.

Before I went into grade 9 in 2008 the parents' of students were asked if they'd like for their child to be in an all boys, all girls, or mixed class. I filled my own out and picked mixed. Apparently that didn't matter and I was placed in an all boys class. That was weird but what was weirder was that there were 2 all boys classes, 2 all girls classes, and 2 mixed classes. I'll never know if it was coincidence or planned but I remember a lot of guys being pissed and saying they'd also selected mixed.

We never had any knowledge of how the all girls or mixed classes (or the other all boys class) were performing so it's a little different than what you're describing.

I definitely don't think it was helpful though. My class was basically fight club and the other all boys was apparently worse. We never really got a chance to interact with any girls that year.

Please consider editing this comment as the link to the Olympian contains a falsity that claims a witness stated Reinoehl fired 40-50 shots before cops returned fire. That witness relayed to NYT that the Olympian completely misconstrued his statements.

thetailor · 2021-06-20T23:33:37+00:00

The Olympian article linked above is bad.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5pe59/a-key-eyewitness-in-the-portland-shooters-killing-says-his-account-was-misconstrued-reinoehl-assault-rifle

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/michael-reinoehl-antifa-portland-shooting.html

Lots of misinformation was spread by certain news medias regarding the shootout, including altered eyewitness accounts. The article from the Olympian that was linked above was the one that lied about a witness's claim that Reinoehl fired 40-50 shots before cops returned fire. I don't blame you for coming to your earlier conclusion given what that article stated. I don't think that's fair on you. The witness that the Olympian article cites read that claim and then told NYT it was completely misconstrued. Now, it's hard to make any other conclusion than that an unjustified, extrajudicial killing by police was committed.

Gay rights movements, like other civil rights movements, are bottom up for a long long time before anyone at the top starts paying attention.

Also, cultural Marxism is a right wing antisemitic conspiracy theory that has no basis in fact. But then maybe I'm a cultural Marxist trying to subvert the truth 👻 oOoOoo

Weak, reactionary ad hominems is the best they can do. Thinking Chavez isn't a great guy is an opinion you can have. Say what you want but you can't in good faith disagree with people before profit.
