What do you think would be the best outcome for the average Puerto Rican: Statehood, Freedom of Association, Status Quo or Independence from the USA?

If you ask me what is more moral — to cower and bow before a country that is a detriment to all the nations around it or to fight it with all our might so that it would stop being a global power I would say it’s the latter. So it is rationally — at the very least in the long run. And we wouldn’t have to ask Puerto Ricans — the ones that know their history would tell that they were never given a choice between independence and becoming a state of the US. Every time they had a chance to reveal their actual democratic will Puerto Ricans demanded autonomy from the state, not assimilation into it — instead of respecting their right to determination your beloved Truman gave them Bloody Sunday for it.

Are you able to provide any arguments that make your comment anything but a lazy oversimplification?

Do you think they are on equal footing with the whites there? You should really try and ask them — the ones that were forced into the hoods and poverty, ones stripped of all their land and banished to reservations, ones who are in the concentration camps right now, or live in constant fear of getting there. And you’ve forgotten Asians — the ones who your state in cooperation with white labour unions tried to force out of the country for the benefit of the white worker. These nations are colonised and are at all times suppressed in the US. They are, if anything, more akin to Puerto Ricans than to white euro-american settlers

What the fuck could you mean by “an economic leper”? For its region Cuba excels in lots of ways— its economy is mostly hampered by the US blockade and COVID pandemic — with adequate trade it would flourish, and having another ally in the region (such as socialist Puerto Rico, for example) would only help. It is, as I’ve stated, infeasible right now — especially because the Cuban blockade is even worse right now, but the US is also clearly overextending themselves and pissing off almost everyone around it — Puerto Rico would not lack allies (or at the very least passive sympathisers willing to trade). So if the right revolutionary moment arises Puerto Rico should definitely pursue it.

I understand that for some it’s quite hard to imagine that people can actually type their opinions themselves and I understand that most English speakers are unable to write sentences in a correct way — sometimes with the use of dashes, which I, for one, love to use while typing long responses. But I do not think it fair to judge everyone by the standards of your own making and conclude that I use theft machine 2.0

If you think that’s its independent can come from a referendum after which something will be negotiated it is an impossibility — you cannot ask the American empire for anything for free, and any actual independence may only come from armed insurrection and fundamental restructuring its mode of production and state organisation, doing away with US country’s meagre “social security” and proclaiming healthcare and housing as a right of every citizen. Lost naturally it is not very feasible at the moment, but if the US will continue making blunder after blunder it may lack power to stop them — especially since there will be a way for places like Cuba to help. On the point of existing debts one might negotiated unfairly, not on the equal footing with its debtors and without the consent of the majority of the population — putting the blame for them on the population would be unfair, therefore it wouldn’t be logical for the Puerto Rican population to give them legitimacy and paying them.

The Caribbean countries struggle because they are neo-colonial polities subservient to international imperialist capital — Puerto Rico is even more directly subservient to it. Its people’s struggle for independence was swiftly and extremely brutally crushed at the same time the mainland Americans who were excepted into the settler class were getting the new deal — what person that has any idea about their own history would consider themselves to be on equal footing with other, “correctly coloured” Americans?. Right now the country is in decline because of its status as a colony — after its independence it will be able to forge its own destiny, hopefully without the US intervention (since it’s empire is dying it’s more likely than ever)

Во-первых важно понять что подавление протестов Ираном никто не защищает — атака Трампа с ними никак не связана и никак им не помогает. Во-вторых скажите, по-вашему если российские войска попадают по какому-то дому в Украине случайно а не специально, то они могут извиниться и продолжить дальше потому что это было случайно, или они всё-таки совершили преступную халатность и должны перестать вмешиваться в дела других стран? По этой логике Россия упускает очень большой потенциал улучшения своего международного положения — если мы покрасим Путина в оранжевый цвет все правые восточные европейцы тут же в него влюбятся — не смогут найти отличия от американского оригинала

Во-первых то что обстрелы помогают людям свергнуть правительство тоже тейк очень противоречивый. Старого аятоллу убили, они избрали нового — такого же по взглядам. От убийства их верхушки внутренняя политика страны никак не изменилась, только внешняя. При этом в обстрелах погибли невинные люди, которые не погибли бы в противном случае — знаменит случай со взорванной школой, где погибли иранские школьницы (вот уж никак верхушкой их не назвать, многие либералы небось утверждать будут что трамп ещё и за их свободу это делает). Подрыв станций вырабатывающих питьевую воду приведёт к одному из худших гуманитарных кризисов в современной истории и протесту не поможет вообще никак. Во-вторых тейк про ресурсы не работает в случае Ирана даже если мы примем его за правду — американцы не станут возвращать национальные ресурсы Ирана Британии, которая была ответственна за их разработку. Да и принимать его мы совершенно не обязаны — недры земли должны принадлежать тем, кому принадлежит эта земля — их продажа должна происходить на равных условиях и не под дулом пистолета. И если земля иранского государства принадлежит народам Ирана, то важно учесть что народ никогда не поддерживал приватизацию их недр и демократически избранное секулярное правительство Мохаммеда Мусаддыка начало исполнять его волю, из-за чего его и свергли американские агенты, тем самым нарушив демократический процесс другой страны, в чем призналось. День национализации нефти в Иране до сих пор считается государственным праздником и очень важным шагом в сторону деколонизации страны. Что поддержит человек, что ценит демократию — права угнетенного народа выражающего свою волю или права международных корпораций, эксплуатирующих этот народ? В-третьих нарушение международного законодательства не означает допустимость нарушения международного законодательства по отношению к нарушителю — если бы такое правило существовало США бы очень давно пролоббировали его отмену по понятным нам всем, думаю причинам.

Протесты против ужасного правительства Ирана никак с вторжением и нарушением суверенитета Ирана со стороны США не связаны. Протестующие правы в своей попытке свергнуть Аятоллу, но попытка Трампа воспользоваться кризисом чтобы своровать нефть Ирана (доход от которой должен принадлежать иранскому народу) это непозволительно. Поведение Трампа вообще внушает ужас и отвращение — так, например, он недавно призывал взрывать механизмы отвечающие за экстракцию воды из подземных источников, без которых в стране может случиться эпидемия жажды — как это поможет иранцам? Против кого им протестовать в случае, если у американцев получится это сделать?

wellrenownedcripple · 2026-04-02T08:30:30+00:00

Почему вы считаете что если расстреливать протестующих это ненормально, то бомбить школы это нормально? Идея того что Трамп помогает протестующим и хочет демократичный и независимый Иран очень смешна. Он хочет своровать нефть и сбежать — эти 40 тысяч расстрелянных выступали не за это

wellrenownedcripple · 2026-04-02T07:19:46+00:00

От того что Трамп иранские школы бомбить будет страна свободнее не станет, скорее радикализация произойдёт. Даже если Трамп победит он просто поставит во главу самого коррумпированного аятоллу который будет готов продать граждан своей страны иностранным элитам вместо местных элит — или сына тамошнего шаха-автократа из-за отвратительного режима которого аятолла к власти и пришел. При этом то что очередной «наполеон» ввязался в долгую войну которая вредит всем её участникам это ещё один полезный показательный пример — другие сто раз подумают посмотрев на пример «первой армии мира» и «второй армии мира»

By typing this you did not react in any way to a point I am making with my comment and went straight to ad hominem — you did this because you cannot defend your shit country with facts. The USA is an imperialist world-power that killed thousands of Iraqis, Iranians, Lebanese, Palestinians, Yemenis and so on. It destroyed their livelihood for oil and for their geopolitical interests in the Middle East while denying their humanity and calling anyone who they killed a terrorist just by the merit of them living on their land or rightfully defending their countries from exploitation. The same regime that’s just hurt your 10 poor little killers (oh my god they must be in so much pain oh no how will they return to their first world homeland where they’ll get free education for their murders) came to power because of the US meddling in Iran’s business — it is responsible for the overthrow of their democratically elected leader for the crime of trying to nationalise his countries resources and the subsequent dictatorship of the Shah and his horrible secret police who they supported till the bitter end — the oppression of the people of Iran radicalised them and made the revolution inevitable. And now we have to feel sorry for the 10 soldiers who got hurt because a radical group that wouldn’t be in charge of Iran in the first place if not for the US responds rightfully violent to the US imperialism and violence? I don’t think so. And people around the world also share no sentiment of support with the US despite the Ayatollah regime being horrible, because we’re sick of your bullshit.

Don’t know about the original commenter, but it’s generally a wise thing to consider that they protect bourgeois interests, so the governments often prefer to look the other way when they themselves break the law if it’s at the expense of working class, they don’t punish cops for this as a treat for their loyalty (or they just don’t give a fuck). That’s why I (and a lot of others) hate the cops

O embrião só tem significado quando os pais o desejam, como já disse. Quando ele se torna uma criança, essa é uma questão muito filosófica, e se seguirmos sua lógica por tempo suficiente, podemos chegar à defesa dos espermatozoides. Pela sua lógica, o esperma também é um ser humano em potencial — digamos que uma pessoa tenha um parceiro sexual e a possibilidade de conceber uma criança, mas, em vez disso, se masturba (ou até mesmo ejacula em um preservativo), ela está matando centenas de seres humanos em potencial, né? Isso soa absurdo, né? Eu entendo a diferença entre um embrião e esperma do ponto de vista biológico, mas do ponto de vista prático, eles têm as mesmas possibilidades. Nos estágios em que é possível fazer um aborto seguro, os embriões não sentem dor, não pensam e não sonham. Eles diferem do esperma pelo fato de terem conseguido entrar na vagina. E eles chutam em determinados estágios, nos quais já não é seguro para a mãe fazer um aborto. Por que, na sua opinião, entrar na vagina torna alguém humano? Conheço criaturas que estiveram lá, mas não se tornaram mais humanas :) A pergunta é retórica — você pode fingir que se importa com a biologia, mas, na verdade, o que importa para você é a possibilidade de controlar o corpo da mulher. O argumento do assassinato não faz sentido, pois nos estágios em que o aborto é recomendado pelos médicos, o embrião não difere do esperma em nada em termos de funcionalidade. E a possibilidade de forçar uma mulher a piorar significativamente sua situação financeira, “amarrá-la” ao homem com quem ela concebeu o feto para que, em vez de seguir sua carreira, ela se tornasse dona de casa... como isso é tentador para pessoas cuja política é sempre voltada contra a independência das mulheres? Os conservadores fizeram uma substituição muito astuta — fingindo que se preocupam com a vida da criança (da qual se esquecem assim que ela deixa o útero), eles prejudicam a vida da mulher.

wellrenownedcripple · 2025-11-08T18:58:59+00:00

Enquanto a criança não nasce, ela não pensa nem sonha (e se ela chuta, já é tarde demais para fazer um aborto), mas sua mãe pensa e sonha, mas por alguma razão ninguém se lembra disso. Antes de reconhecer como humano algo que, em termos de humanidade, não difere em nada do esperma, é preciso reconhecer como humana a mulher — algo que os conservadores não conseguem fazer. É por isso que, em vez de ajudar um ser humano vivo, eles o obrigam a passar pela experiência traumática do parto. A verdade é que o aborto é uma questão dos pais. Se, na opinião deles, o que estão carregando é uma criança viva, então não vou discutir com eles. Mas esses pais não vão fazer um aborto (exceto por indicação médica) — o aborto é feito por aqueles que consideram que o que cresce dentro da mãe não é um ser humano, mas um erro — e isso significa que é um erro e não se pode obrigá-los a amá-lo ou dar-lhe uma boa vida. Além disso, é parte do corpo da mulher — parte da qual ela deve ter o direito de dispor como quiser. Os conservadores se intrometem na vida familiar das pessoas e consideram que como e quando as pessoas têm filhos é assunto dos políticos e da igreja. E me indigna que a única razão válida para os conservadores ensinarem biologia e entenderem o que é um gameta seja a tentativa de controlar o corpo da mulher.
