I think the probable answer is it won’t shut down. As more people depend on it more money will get thrown at it. It would be like the equivalent of the internet shutting down. Probably will get bailed out by the government

I had a professor that tried this and didn’t work out. To be fair though, one of the issues I had was that it was the only class structured like this so it made it a pain when taking 5 other courses alongside this inverted course

I agree with him on Canada and France (I don’t really know enough about Australia). This Canadian election only postponed the conservatives winning the next one and doing shock-therapy style economics. France is looking to go the same way.

It’s unfortunate that it feels like actual leftist options are out of the mainstream in elections and people don’t even know it because they think people like Macron and Carney are leftists (or anti-fascists) which is just wrong. It does feel like the centrists are stuck in the old word order where you follow free market doctrine and hope that exploitation of the third world bails you out. That and they continue being dogs for the US, but they obviously don’t like Trump and yet this is not enough for them to peel away from the US (I guess cause they still think he is just a phase and they can work with the next democrat president?).

The centrists ability to not do anything but light neoliberalism makes fascism in these countries inevitable, especially when they get their power from being an alternative to the right and repress anything on the left.

No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted

Somehow this doesn’t reassure me. What were the “camps” they targeted? Looking for more info on twitter made me realize how many Indian fascists exist on it.

Ah, yea I conflated Israel with US in my mind

HOUTHIS CALL OUT TRUMP: DENY STOPPING TO ATTACK SHIPS

Deif Allah Al-Shami, a senior member of the Houthi political bureau, responded to Trump’s statements in an interview with Al-Mayadeen TV, saying:

“When he makes such statements, it means he’s trying to preserve his self-respect after the humiliating failure he suffered in Yemen and his aggression against the Yemeni people. He completely failed in his campaign, which even forced the Israeli enemy, after the attack on Ben Gurion Airport, to strike directly on his behalf. The Israeli attacks exposed the Americans and proved to the world that U.S. aggression and aircraft carriers amounted to nothing.

Today, he lies as he always does, claiming he received calls from this or that person. He has no shame in lying to escape the mess he’s in.

We say — say what you want, but your words will not change a thing. No Israeli ship will reach any port until the siege is lifted and the aggression on Gaza ends.” @kaisos1987

I’m not sure of this source though

I saw a statement from Ansarallah saying they didn’t make any agreement with Trump. Does that mean Trump is just backing down on his own? Guess the bombings really were ineffective. Kinda surprised but maybe it’s because they want to pivot to Iran?

Day by day I coming to the position that the petty bourgeoisie tech workers are irredeemable.

Modern day kulaks

Is he saying all there is to VC’ing is picking the right startup to back? What the fuck is “work” then. Vibe checking the startup founder? He’s right then, it’s not going to be replaced with AI because its a useless fucking job. God, these people belong in the

At first I thought this was a leak, but no they are just very open about wanting spies in the CPC.

I feel like Trump operates on the assumption that no one will react to counteract whatever strategy he implements. It’s the simplest answer I can think of.

Also lmao, all the things they listed as reasons why someone would want to defect (firing, jailed, disappeared) are things the US government has done this year

Any good telegram channels to follow india-pakistan news?

We are actually very lucky that Musk is the most uncharismatic person in the world. If he had just a little bit of charisma, or even Trump level charisma we would be so cooked.

Like how do you end up so hated when people in this country lick billionaires feet at every opportunity

That sounds so crazy that it just might happen

Have to give the radlibs credit for once

Now that I’ve read Losurdo’s Western Marxism, he definitely fits in with the intellectuals that Losurdo criticizes. Shame, because I found his analysis insightful at times

Honestly what is the alternative? We should let them get away with breaking the law? Yanis Varoufakis also had a similar take. While I agree making these people accountable does nothing to stop fascism, I don’t understand how this is a bad thing.

Maybe it’s just the wrong framing? Like you’re not going to stop fascism by just prosecuting the fascists, but I do think it’s a start. However I am confident that this will be the limit of how far they go and they will continue pushing neoliberal policies until their population is fed up. If there were an organized left this would be a prime opportunity.

It will be used against leftists regardless. I hate that argument that “we can’t repress the right because they might do it back to us” when historically the right has always been repressive of the left

I agree that it wont stop fascism. At least holding her accountable makes it seem like she actually is a fascist, unlike the Dems crying that Trump is a fascist but also being super soft on him. So I think this is a good thing, even though its clearly not enough. My expectation is there will be another far right figure that will take her place if she can’t run.

but I would rather not celebrate too loudly if I celebrated along with pro NATO eurolibs,

they would be delusional to think that fascism is defeated for good just because LePen is barred from running

Huh that’s interesting cause I remember the syria flag changing almost right after the government collapsed. Didn’t realize Afghanistan also had a flag change, which makes sense. Guess this is good confirmation to normies how inauthentic the overthrow of Assad was.

What’s up with Yanis? He’s been having the weirdest takes on the LePen conviction

When Turkey’s courts ban Erdogan’s frontrunning Presidential opponent, the liberal mind rebels and rejects forthwith Erdogan’s argument that the law is the law. When France’s courts do they same, the liberal mind rejoices & parrots the law is the law. Mind-boggling hypocrisy!

And

Varoufakis stressed that “I think Le Pen is a fascist, personally. I’d like to see her be destroyed politically.” At the same time, in his view, lawfare “has been disproportionately waged against the outer Right, because the Left has disappeared”. The Greek politician compared Le Pen’s treatment to the means used by the Democratic Party against Donald Trump, only “the French are doing it in a more obvious, less defensible way than the American Democrats.”

Thinking that what the dems did wrong was not go hard enough on Trump seems laughable. They demonized him but also let him get away with doing a bunch of illegal shit. Is the lesson there not to demonize him? When has a fascist ever been defeated “politically”? He’s saying it would somehow be better for the “left” in France if they let LePen get away with embezzlement.
