It was about ST's MMT video, it was deserved.

And this ain’t the first time, Roderick’s a bit terminally online, arguing against other based progressive like JT (Second Thought) and Michael Hudson…
Why shouldn't he? Hudson's following reproduces Industrial Capitalist apologia in the same way that fed Social Chauvinism in Europe prior to WW1 (and during the height of Imperialism's African carve). I can see the consequences of Hudson in the patsoc space. Second Thought's video on MMT was uncritical and like Hudson reproduces petty booj cope about "the economy" and reform.
Hudson and ST are Marxist educators, they should be criticized so that their performance at that role can improve. If we are giving these people a living as revolutionary educators, shouldn't they be held to the highest standards?
The western left has a deep cultural lack of seriousness (I wonder why that is?). Memes and jokes are fine but bigotry and anti-intellectualism shouldn't be passed off as jokes to avoid criticism.
The market of ideas is not the battleground of Imperialism. The US struggle against the PRC over Bytedance is the US Bourg trying to enforce the International Rule that large corporations outside of the US are not allowed to exist outside of the public exchange. Americans need to be able to buy it up, whenever they want. This is also how the US exerts national domination over the Bourgeoisie of other nations. They can only invest in certain things on the continent, like real estate (which there are talks of banning Chinese nationals from owning land), and tech companies (inclusive of entertainment infrastructure), to keep the bubbles in both growing. They store their wealth in the US, under restrictions, so the US can remain liquid and clip coupons.
This is similarly why some European big whigs are calling for liberalization of pensions so they can be spent on militarism, which as we know from books like Palo Alto, the STEM sector in the Imperialist nations and militarism are two sides of the same process. Imperialism is Scientific Capitalism. 401k funds are also workers giving their wages straight to International Capitalism without going through the government.
Sure, but this is an excuse and a diversion. So are the anti-Comm and Sinophobic excuses. The reason why TikTok is facing an attempted force buyout is because the US-led Bourgeoisie wants to bring Bytedance into the stock market for the biggest IPO in history.
Something that the CPC blocked from happening in 2021:
US based firms like Blackrock have huge stakes in private Bytedance, they want to force an IPO so they can make dozens of billions at least. The American employees who own significant private stock also stand to benefit from a force takeover of Bytedance. The Tech Industrialists in California are in a win-win if the state is to be weaponized as well, TikTok goes public and they buy pieces of it up or TikTok is banned and their software cartel holds firm.
Remember which banks collapsed last year? The ones that deal with startup-to-IPO schemes? TikTok is the dream company for the IPO industry that is US Tech and California banking.
Nex used he/they pronouns according to his friends btw. JSYK when talking about this tragedy moving forward.
If you didn't want a world centered on generalized commodity production, then why did you conquer the world to create it!?

Anti-Communism is deeply embedded in the publishing industry in Japan
That being said, some revolutionary optimism sneaks by, I've heard One Piece is good.
Might be true which is nice but could also be full cap and just a way for the colonizers to try and abuse China with more sanctions. The IOF is desperate since they are losing tanks faster than Ukraine did and refuse to have infantry support due to fear of mass casualties.
Not sure but it's possibly a tactic as many of the tanks have a trophy system that can shoot down one rocket. If the second reaches the plates it blows a hole into the cabin and we've seen some pics of the mess that gets made inside.
Absolutely they are, all of the Resistance Brigades from Hamas to PFLP have been defeating ground incursions by the IOF, like, badly. They are masters of guerilla warfare with their tandem RPG rounds, taking out dozens of IOF armor per campaign. The Resistance posts videos daily basically: Example
These videos are so popular that the IOF has been making their own copies where they are killing windows and chairs
Yemen is literally blockading the colonists
Apartheid went down without pressing the button. The Zionists will sooner flee.
