I wonder if blackouts in the west are ever considered newsworthy in China.

The power was out at my place last year for a couple of days while they did roadworks for the entrance to somebougie apartment, does that count?

What about when an indovidual smashes their car into power infrastructure and the whole suburb goes dark?

Oh and remember when some fasciat yank was busy trying to take out their local power grid?

Maybe theyre so overwhelmed by choice it doesnt get covered at all, that'd happen to me. I wish I could take anything seriously.

A document seen by the BBC's US partner CBS describes the potential resettlement as a "priority" for President Donald Trump's government, however the timing has not been publicly confirmed by the White House.

In a statement published on Friday, South Africa's foreign ministry described the purported move as "politically motivated" and designed to undermine South Africa's "constitutional democracy".

In February, Trump described Afrikaners as victims of "racial discrimination" in an executive order, opening up the prospect for them to resettle in the US.

🫠 if the usa wasnt a settler colony I could almost get excited about this, at least send them to the netherlands or something.

there's mention in the article that the RSA govt is objecting because it suspects some of these people are running from criminal charges, classic

Damn poor guy, he's only had every day he's been alive to have said anything about Palestine. Having said nothing is a statement unto itself.

While the name of the novel and the earlier film was retained, the significance of "Manchurian" was changed. In the original, the protagonist was captured in the Korean War and brainwashed by the Chinese army in Manchuria. In the 2004 film, with the Korean War replaced by the Gulf War, Manchurian is instead used as the name of a sinister multinational company.

I would not be surprised if american'ts no longer know whete Manchuria is

RFK is probably just suffering from the permenant COVID revolution

I'm a Virgo (hexbear.net)
submitted 5 months ago by EllenKelly@hexbear.net to c/movies@hexbear.net

its a tv miniseries

saw it mentioned in a youtube video by FD signifier, I just finished the first episode, and I enjoyed it a lot, something about needing positive propaganda not just constant commenting on reactionary garbage

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'm_a_Virgo

synopsis below, directed by Boots riley, released 2023

Cootie is a 13-foot-tall (4.0 m), 19-year-old Black teenager raised by his Aunt Lafrancine and Uncle Martisse in Oakland, California. He is shielded from the outside world until being accidentally discovered by a group of teenage political activists

“I didn’t vote,” says the Kangaroo.

“Are you not allowed?”

“I am not allowed and I don’t want to.”

“You don’t want to?”

“No, because it’s not an election,” says the Kangaroo. “It’s just the illusion of democracy, a mock poll, the Fata Morgana of popular government. In short, it’s only the appearance of an election, or, to use the official terminology: a dummy ballot.

“A dummy ballot?”

“It’s as if you go into a supermarket and can choose between soup packets by Maggi or soup packets by Knorr, but in reality, it’s all Nestlé. The dummy ballot suggests freedom, but in reality, I tell you: it’s all capitalism, it’s all Nestlé, it’s all chicken. But because I generally do not wish to consume packaged soup, I don’t really give a hoot about brand options at the supermarket.”

I never finished reading it, but the first chapter is on youtube as an audiobook read by the author, it's good for a laugh

Don't be a shithead (hexbear.net)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by EllenKelly@hexbear.net to c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

Being a shithead can manifest itself in many ways:

If your friend says something offensive, and you don't call them out, or you only gently scold them so you can stay on good terms - you're being a shit head.

If you're criticising people behind their back, or holding your tongue in a meeting, and gossiping later - you're being a shithead.

If you're letting people off lightly because what they say doesn't personally affect you - you're being a shithead.

If you're demanding special treatment, while expecting others hold themselves to a higher standard - you're being a shithead.

If you resort to personal attacks, instead of arguing against an incorrect point - you're being a shithead.

If you hear someone state a falsehood as fact, and you don't correct them - you're being a shithead.

If you're at work and you're not agitating, and showing no concern for the well-being of others - you're being a shithead.

If you see someone harming others, while you do nothing to stop them, and do not try to reason with them - you're being a shithead.

If you do the bare minimum, with no direction, plans or goals - you're being a shithead.

If you consider yourself a veteran, better than others around you, and above menial tasks, - you're being a shithead.

If you're aware you've made a mistake, and you do nothing to correct it - you're being a shithead.

Being a shithead might keep you comfortable and safe, but you're doing harm to those around you when you engage in these behaviours.

If you're being a shithead, do not.

I try my best to uphold these principles, so yeah I guess you can say I'm pretty unpopular.

😎Yes I did just do a shorthand version of combat liberalism and ctrl+h "liberal" with "shithead", the idea of making a poster with these points that just says "DONT BE A SHIT" has been floating around in my noggin for a while, yes thank you, I am very funny.

spoiler 😱 actually if the original copy of this said "shitremoved" and I changed it to "shithead" so I don't upset anyone, is that liberalism? 🤔 /s :::

I feel like this should almost go in c/badposting haha
