If you don’t want our stuff, your choice.

lmao like anybody bothers buying that crap anyways. Y'all think too highly of your overpriced contraband, and you shouldn't include Japan and South Korea in the mix as they generally are not considered part of Europe and actually produce some very good and affordable products.

If you don’t want to sell your stuff, also your choice.

Oh sure, just waiting for that referendum to block all exports of crops, mineral resources and fossil fuels to the gringolands. As we all know, we all just democratically voted for our national industries to be privatised. I'm sure all the gringo companies that depend on it are gonna just democratically fold and leave.

Also I'm no fan of the Stadians, but I don't think it is wise to have such disdain for the "Seppos" who are responsible for maintaining whatever semblance of hegemony Europe still keeps. If said referendum comes, you'll have to rely on them to do democratic interventions to keep your democratically elected privatised industries to fuel your never-ending consumption of imports. You people can't even win a war outside of Europe without their support anymore.

I think a multitude of hot takes fit, but I really dislike when liberals go after socialists for completely unrelated perceived flaws. Y'know, "Che was a homophobe", "~~literally every 19th century European~~ Stalin was anti-semitic", "Gaddafi was misogynistic". Even if those accusations were completely true and not based on astroturfed rumours or ridiculously over-blown or taken out of context, what does that have to do with their views on capitalism? If it turned out that Karl Marx really fucking hated the Irish for no reason, would that make all his writing useless all of a sudden?

Cheating a bit, but I also had an acquaintance describe their near "Westminster MP" level salary for a remote job as "barely making it into the middle class", and that has been haunting me for months.

Russia can’t even fucking match Ukraine which is being drip-fed surplus.

Hasn't Russia been holding on to the claimed regions for almost an year now?

Mate, you have to be a bit too gringo to think that whatever your conglomerates like Bosch produce can't be produced without exporting all the wealth to the "Global North" as you people call it. Even Bosch itself has factories in China to supplement the stagnating production in your glorified peninsula. And no, we don't need your posh "food processor" as if cheap and good mixers haven't been commonplace everywhere for the last 50 years or so. Truth is "you" (as you put it) produce very little to the world, it is all extracted and produced abroad, be it in Asia, Africa or America (the continent), and then you get to claim glory because your patented circuit-printing facilities got to do the very last bit.

Then "you" (as you put it) try to shove these inferior and expensive products down the collective throat of the rest of the world. And then you proclaim to the world of slaves "how good we are, to civilise those barbarians". Do you really believe us to be so stupid that we couldn't replicate and improve your circuit boards and electronics without your nonsensical patent laws and foreign meddling? How many Chinas surpassing the USAurope do you need to call your exceptionalism into question? I have never seen a single Bosch appliance and European products are for the most part luxury goods or patent hogs. Oh no, how will I survive with my Asian imports and local production without the help of those smart Euros? All you people do is import, and you pretend that's a good thing.

But please, educate me about the third world reliance on your tiny continent.

I don't read much current news, but here goes some sources I've found reliable for the past month or so.

Prensa Latina is a Cuban government press agency that has developed a lot in recent years, and is very good for reporting on Actual Americans (read: not only Unitedstadians). They have Spanish, Brazilian, English, Russian, Arabic and Italian.

Haïti Liberté is another Caribbean leftist newspaper but this time Haitian. They have some stuff in English, but it's mostly French and some Creole. Obviously they focus mostly on Haiti from an anti-imperialist perspective, but that also often extends to the rest of the Caribe.

But also, if you're trying to get news from some particular industry or location, it's always useful to go straight for the reporting that is meant for the professionals of that area rather than the general public. So if you're into hollywood, ~~touching grass~~ deadline.com is often useful, and if you're a gamer, ~~get some help~~ gamedeveloper.com (old gamasutra) usually has more in-depth reporting. Usually the more in-depth reporting comes out from the specialist newspaper rather than some multinational outlet.

Estadunidense acha que ninguém conhece liquidificador. Gringo, please, leia um livro kkkkkk

Quê? Surpreso?

I just read the rest of the tweet thread, and it appears to be from this soviet documentary from 1939. Kinda impressive how the most accessible archive is from an Italian sub.

Bosch food processors

kkkkkkkk

Made up a bunch of recipes from cheap local produce. I'm usually a terrible cook so it's been a very fun and error-prone experience. Also did a lot of napping.

I'm not sure of the exact source, but you could narrow your search by looking at other Rai documentaries on the war such as this one. They're in Italian but from what I gathered most of them are free once you make an account.

It is so bizarre to me that people are celebrating reintroducing paywalls as a concept to "educational content" and political commentary on the internet. I sure bet there are some things of value in nebula somewhere, but they do know that teens and third-worlders will have a harder time getting to that content given the international credit card requirements, right? And if they're available elsewhere like on Youtube, nebula and curiosity stream is just redundancy at that point. It's basically BBC iPlayer but somehow with a bigger proportion of posh white people with worse accents and no Doctor Who. Innovative!

They really really need a Congress of the Soviets or National Convention moment to work out all the contradictions of their societies unconstrained by their current systems and protocols. It really is up to them and I wouldn't hold my breath for anything of value coming out of there, but there's only so much you can do within the bounds of a glacial congress and senate working with a constitution written by people who didn't think killing slave owners or genocidal latifundiarios was a moral obligation.

But I didn't consider in the other suggestion that it could also be for the betterment of societies that actually have any hope of becoming better, so I'd also change their entire foreign policy into "mind your own business gringo" and abolish the OAS, and that'd immediately make the lives throughout the American continent much better.
