Flagged comments are the treasure here. Cannot believe people fall for this shit
First time I’ve ever seen a “-1 comments” lol
Our party posted an article/interview with Tings Chak about how China lifted 800 million people out of poverty. I think it’s the first interview in Dutch I’ve read about it and I’m spamming it to everyone I know.
return to Malaysia for a 1 month visit after living in the U.S. for the last four years
go back to the places I remember going to
return to a famous seaside which I visited frequently
find out that that seaside had been ruined by a land reclamation project
mfw
What’s a land reclamation project?
I’ve been reading some of the suggested reading from hakim’s list, and also watching videos from second thought, and I just feel so angry with the system. What do we do? What should I do? Can we do anything?
Depends on various circumstances, perhaps most importantly where you live (particularly imperial core vs. periphery). If there’s a solid Marxist (ideally Marxist-Leninist) party/organization (with a focus on both theory and praxis, not electoralism) nearby, you can try joining that. If not, I’d recommend just continuing to read theory for the time being (ideally with others), particularly that which is relevant to your country or wider region
Unfortunately right in the old imperial core. There are some country wide ml groups, but it just doesn’t feel enough.
there are probably people here from your country who can give you some tips, especially if you’re in one of the bigger countries
does anyone know if this is true or not? https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/world/asia-pacific/20230623-118053/
japanese trying to deflect fukushima dumping
If it’s true, they’re deflecting and missing the point of the criticism.
I am under the impression that tritium discharge isn’t a huge deal. But that’s not what the Fukushima water problem is about.
Chinese media have been reporting for months if not years that TEPCO and Japanese authorities don’t even know what other radioisotopes are in the Fukushima waste water and at which concentrations. The filters used aren’t appropriate and only certain isotopes are even tested for.
Why are there so many libs on lemmygrad now, they weren’t here before.
they’re mostly users from other instances who sort by “All” instead of “Local” and occasionally come across posts on Lemmygrad
