Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso, together in the Confederation of Sahel states are where so much of my hope and interest lie for the future. These revolutions need to be studied, as I believe in a decade's time we are going to see some truly glorious achievements.

They shall be a center of progress for African revolutionaries to look towards and inspire a new generation.

I think many people, even other communists, are going to be blind sided to the strides the AES makes by the end of 2035.

This just makes me extremely sad for the kids who ended up falling down this rabbit hole.

Utterly tragic, and I truly sympathize with the parents. Losing a child in such a deplorable way is not something anyone should face.

Seeing people discuss the viability of a nuclear strike on Russia or vice versa, has left me fucking terrified of the future. People in my industry, even the most staunchly conservative bigoted fucks, don't even take a moment to consider the sheer scale destruction nuclear war would bring, they simply shoot down any rhetoric that looks to normalize it. If me and the guy wgi thinks the USSR was Satan incarnate are able to 100% agree on a topic, I think it's pretty clear that topic has a definite scientific consensus.

I honestly don't believe the NFL story. He specifically went to the 33rd floor where the CEO was located. The NFL story reads to me as the media learning from last time that the people just sympathize with CEO weed wacking. So I assume they're trying to obfuscate in an attempt to curb support for this behavior.

There actually is some consideration for nuclear powered tankers for this exact purpose, along with the fact that refueling would not be much of an issue, there's less need to stop. Iirc China has done a small amount of work on this concept a few years ago but I don't habe anything saved unfortunately.

The largest issues that were being discussed actually didn't habe to do with geopolitics, but the economic feasibility of it. Even if they were to be more efficient, oil isn't at a price where nuclear tankers are economically superior.

The other issue was in regards to environmental concerns I case a tanker happened to sink, but honestly that same issue applies to oil, and nuclear material in the ocean is honestly less dangerous then oil when it comes to a habitat, though the danger would likely come from tracking decay material moving along with a current, which could contaminate food.

Geopolitics would probably become a concern if a suitable design was finished, because then it would no longer be a theoretical concept but an actual practical technology. I'd imagine different countries, especially the US, would oppose other countries using it while Fearing that if a ship gotten taken due to piracy (or stopping a genocide perhaps) it would then give the ones apprehending the ships a nuclear reactor, nuclear fuel, nuclear decay and products.

Though I could imagine China building a few at some point if they can streamline its production and oil prices surge for a considerable amount of time (like if the US invaded Iran). The technology isn't exactly in its infancy, considering air craft carriers and submarines use the same nuclear power process, it's political/economic will.

The DPRK has yet to be invaded which is the entire purpose of the nuclear deterrent, and the only reason the last excursion against Iran happened was because Iran has the capability for nukes but stubbornly refuses to actually make them.

"What's the indigenous population in your state?"

Americans who get mad at this question and who cowardly reply with "whataboutism" are just upset that regardless of what China does or has done in the past, the US is still quantifiably responsible for one of, if not the greatest, crimes in human history.

A 2nd Civil War already...

Astagfurallah.

I will never forgive the west for what they've done to Syria. They've left a nation which was at one point a shining beacon within the region into a fractured state that will take decades to recover.

I curse the US, I curse Israel, I curse Jolania along with his fundamentalist filth, and I curse Bashar for his incompetence in letting this happen.

I can only hope for a light at the end of this which I do not yet see, but until then the situation in Syria causes my blood to boil.

I feel this in my bones. Previously I used to concede that the Muslim world and its leaders were corrupt, as it's quite obvious many do not have the best interest of their people (you will never get me to praise the UAE or Saudi). However I've stopped conceding this point because of a couple reasons.

1. I was able to reflect on the fact that this tendency of mine was based on an internalized embarrassment for being Muslim in the west which I'd yet not reckoned with. I've since then largely addressed this unwarranted shame and would like to help the rest if my community confront it where I see it is prominent.

2. Why should I concede that every single Muslim country is in any way less trustworthy then the West without forcing the one essentially claiming that to prove it thoroughly. It's not my job to do a comparative analysis on a claim that they make without evidence.

3. The US has shown it is far and away more diplomatically hostile to countries who don't toe their line then China is. They've actively overthrown governments across the world for the last century over the premise that it was in the "American" interest. These countries have every reason to be more inline with the US out of fear of retaliation then they do with China. Countries like Türkeya are known for funding acual separatist groups who operated in Xinjiang, along with originally spreading the Uyghur myth. However China does not have icy relations with them, how exactly does that say China will punish your country for saying something regarding their domestic affairs.

So I've stopped conceding the Muslim country corruption talking point because it's utterly nonsense in the conversation relative to reality. Westerners have no business butting into and commenting on the affairs of Muslim countries. They can shove off and let our community discuss it ourselves, but until they do that, those conversation get delayed.

I despise liberals for their racism more then anything. I know where I stand with a Trump Supporter or your average European Nazi. They hate Muslims and make it known. They don't pester about us hating them back, they get that it's a mutual understanding.

But liberals... they will aay the most fascist shit to you either through dogwhistles or with the mask off, yet get infuriatingly whiney about being confronted. They will support the same shit as the far right or at least refuse to address a core concern which essentially does the same thing, but if I call them bigots they become insufferable.

The smug self importance is significantly more insulting then the far right's staunch anti-intellucrualism. The person who believes reading a book will turn him gay isn't exactly boasting about his intellectual superiority. The college educated man-child whose never critically engaged with a piece of political theory beyond an ideologues biography, somehow believes himself to be a the resurrection of Socrates, and that delusion is unacceptably grating.

I hope that the AES can be a bastion of anti-imperialism and prosperity on the African continent, and that it eventually grows into a United African Federation.

Sankara was extremely accomplished for the relatively short time he had in power, his biggest mistake was underestimating the imperialists, which it seems Traoré has learned from.

I personally believe that the Sahel states will become a much larger player within the anti-imperialist movement then anyone expects. Within a decade I believe people in the west will be blindsided by their rise, similar to China the last two decades.

Translation: Fuck over the desperate by removing any remaining welfare policies and exterminate Shiites because those dirty mushrik are a more dangerous and nefarious threat then Zionists.
