That new book by the ex-Facebook employee is a good glimpse into the mind of a terminal liberal. She mentions China in the introduction which I thought was odd because Facebook never operated in China and if you count the evils that Facebook has done, which are countless btw, is China really that important that it should be mentioned in your introduction?

So I ctrl F China to see what her point of view was. Turns out she is mad that Zucc and other execs were willing to negotiate with China rather being a tool for regime change. She talks about a phone call with another employee who asks her if Zucc should take credit for the Arab Spring. She says that her answer depends on Facebook's policy towards, because taking credit for it would make it difficult to make inroads in China because it would mean that Facebook facilitates "people's revolutions" (yeah she called Arab Spring that).

She completely refuses to understand why Zucc want to do business in China. The fact that China is not only the second largest country but also moderately prosperous with a mind boggling consumer base for Facebook is something she never contends. She is just mad about the ethical implications of bowing down to CCP's demands. Like its their divinely ordained duty to topple "authoritarian regimes" around the world.

To be honest, I would have preferred seeing more leftists take a neutral approach to the Russo-Ukrainian war than siding with Ukraine. ‘Both sides are wrong’ is still an oversimplification and not the best approach to take, but it’s at least easier to understand than siding with a pro-NATO dictatorship of the bourgeoisie that has been lousy with neofascists for at least a decade.

TIL Bobby Fischer, american chess grandmaster, was deeply into antisemitic conspiracies. He was subscribed to the judeobolshevik conspiracy, and st some point wrote "we should start randomly killing jews". I wouldnt have known this if not by some random X comment.

Is there any list about media figures that are antisemitic?

I have heard from Telegram that war has returned to the Gaza Strip.

A few days ago I was sent an M.Phil dissertation on the BBC’s record during the first 6 years of the Nazi period.

You may not believe it, but I was the one who sent Tony Greenstein the dissertation exposing the BBC’s negligent reporting of the 1930s.

Hope everyone having a nice week! I was pretty busy making transfem.social safer.

I hope you all have a nice week

City subreddit, Western country: 'look at this cool park, public transport, building, cute cafe'

It's only brainwashing if it's the DPRK guys

Europe already spends 2 to 3 times more on defence than Russia and has more manpower and vehicles but there is, apart from us, no party ever highlighting this.

Ireland before independent was similar with Palestine in presenot.

With the war in Ukraine tilting more and more in favour towards Russia, when do you guys think the war could be over assuming it continues at this pace?

I think Marx would really dig that How It's Made show from back in the day.

Went to a psychologist for a second opinion for starting my trans care last week. He approved it, so that's nice but he also made me really self conscious about the way I talked. He noticed that I talk with a slightly crooked mouth. He asked why, and insinuated it's medical. I said that's it's because of my autism and it only happens when I'm nervous. He also asked if I'm sure it's not a by-effect of my DIY medication, to which I replied that I had it my whole life. He then shared a story of an older woman who had the same her whole life, and that she also said that it's not medical, and that he made her question if it was medical.

He was nice the whole interview and then he pulls this shit. Now I keep focussing on my mouth when I talk and I notice that I want to avoid conversations more often.

We are back to "biden levels of genocide in Gaza" according to Electronic Intifada.

Look at this incredible new species! \s

People say the internet is forever, but that is a lie. If someone wants to nuke their digital footprint, it is easier than ever right now.

Some positive news: there seems to be some pacifist movement emerging in The Netherlands with regards to an arms race against Russia. There is no real ideological line it seems but at least there is some resistance to the madness.

Tankie therapy is back.
