Elon is clearly stupid. It's "fun" to watch.

Unfortunately I forgot everyone is asleep rn and nobody is gonna see it.

Most coherent and rational anti-communist movement be like

Some Lanyard Wonk posted this on some literal Fed subreddit. Basically they were saying “Hold the Line guys! Trump is gonna try firing people against his agenda and wants to hire based on loyalty to Trump!” And seeing all these people self-fellating and giving each other congratulations was so cringe. This particular comment seemed the most cringe. Spreadsheets and emails aren’t sexy. Neither is Zionism (ahem, Noah Schnapp). Why do liberals always do this?😂

An old meme but more relevant than ever given what has been happening recently in tech.

I've recently discovered those on YT and can't stop listening. Some of them I remember from my childhood, some are from films or even cartoons, many were completely new to me. I'm so happy to see positive reactions in comments, clearly a lot of Soviet music stood the test of time and still resonates with people around the world. It's so refreshing to hear many different languages, some I speak or can at least recognise, and some I can't place at all. I love how while clearly Western-influenced, the music sounds distinct and unique, using a lot of folk elements and harmonies native to various Soviet block peoples. Enjoy!

Bonus: here are 11 radio mixes by Funked Up East, thank you for the suggestion OrnluWolfjarl!

Full disclosure on Friday night my brother chill-left showed me this conversation and I believe it is worth sharing.

“Teia Rabishu” has been the top mod of antiwork since the massive scandal of a moderator appearing on Tucker Carlson who spoke about their part time job as a dogwalker. She appears not to understand the concept of the Overton window. Her defense of the decision to ban, “Platforms affiliated with the CCP, such as TikTok and Rednote, because China is a hostile foreign government and these platforms constitute information warfare.” despite the opposition of the moderators and users of the sub is suspicious, unethical, and totalitarian. In typical “dictator fashion”, her entire stance seems to be “china bad” and she constantly argues via logical fallacies. Not only this but, “Caledric” from the beginning of being a moderator for antiwork openly admits to working for US intelligence and expresses sympathy as well as agreement to their ideological framing and conclusions. “Teia” defends and supports “Caledric” as well as upholds the ideological anti-communism and red scare propaganda which led to this entire debacle.

This document and photos where leaked by u/chill-left before he was banned from the anti-work subreddit. He was a moderator dissenting within their internal communication discord. The supposed reason for his ban was calling for democratic elections to replace the head moderator of the antiwork subreddit. As well as disagreeing with “Teia Rabishu”.

Please share this with any interested individuals or parties, especially anyone associated with antiwork.

If the nazi salute and the daily dogwhistles on twitter weren't enough, Elon musk slams the desk declaring himself a proud nazi by denouncing multiculturalism.

The US sees the emergence of China and other Asian countries as a ‘fierce competition’. For the Global South, however, these developments bring new opportunities to pursue sovereign development.

I'm sure everyone's heard about Musk's salute by now but this counts as this week's essay so here you go. We go a bit into why the ADL defends him. I think it's interesting but I'm biased of course :)

Hello and welcome to the Tradition of this community, the weekly discussion thread. I am pleased you could make it, just please do not touch the walls, the paint has not completely dried.

With rednote being a thing, all the usual dronies of the 1.6 billion dollar army have come out to say "but muh ccp censorship"

To begin, this was a very sudden influx of users onto the site. No shit some of the censorship is heavy handed.

Secondly, Chinese censorship just seems bad because it's more honest. Yeah, you get banned for being a dipshit and you get banned for being a rightist and wrecker. (Being arrested or visited by the police is a rare occurrence at best and a fabrication at worse. Not to mention that JT was visited by and intimidated by the American Gestapo for his supposed free speech too) Over here you might not get banned for it, except in the cases where you do (see:reddot and africa stream for instance), but there's also ways they suppress views without banning people. Age restrictions, aforementioned intimidation, algorithmic suppression, etc. These are just unofficial forms of censorship that aren't as obvious as outright bans. This isn't even mentioning how free speech absolutism is really an American obsession. It's not a thing in Europe and other parts of the world.

There's also the "both sides badddd" argument to this (im looking at you piratesoftware), but again, look at the past 20-30 years. From the mmr scandal to lynchings to J6, etc. You're really going to sit here and be like "oh but slippery slop"
