new managerial slop from my boy

although not a lot of talking exactly what to do, maybe need to read these books as well

I'm finishing the last episode of S5 now, and I'll be fully caught up on this series. Between Afghanistan and Cambodia, China's willingness to play ball with the US and its agenda is frustrating to learn.

It leaves me wanting to learn more about the Sino/Soviet split. The way this division manifested really aligned China with some dark forces, it would seem.

I also imagine the process of "normalization" with the US plays a huge role in the way this history unfolds as well.

It makes me wonder what they knew about The Khmer Rouge's operations. I was left with the impression, based on how the history was laid out, that China was aware of just how aggressive and bloody the Khmer Rouge's policies were.

Something about that stretch of time between 79 and 89 seems to have resulted in a bunch of weird geopolitical stuff.

Need to finish this episode, I guess.

Assal Rad is the X account that adjusts Western headlines about the holocaust in Gaza with red ink.

Somewhere in here she says something really on point to the tune of America being the true ideologically determined nation state (whether or not it benefits them materially), and that their ideology is Zionism and supporting Israel unconditionally.

Will and Hesse talk about two films which deal with the psychological tolls women face in the entertainment industry: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s The Red Shoes (1948) and Satoshi Kon’s Perfect Blue (1997).

fairly condensed series, mainly from geopolitical/personalities viewpoint, also claim about che i think is very debatable and coming from maoist camp, but whatever, describes behavior of china/soviets fairly well on large scale (with doses of blackpill as usual at the end )
