That's not the DSA account. That's some random meme account with no followers. There was a period after elon bought twitter when hogs were posting location screenshots of fake accounts to say that socialists are actually foreigners.

At first when I read the tweet, I thought the OP was criticizing Hasan. The tweeter who posted this clip believes that there shouldn't be a third party in the US, also the tweeter is Canadian. That tweeter is a huge Hasan fan and many of the tweets are thirsting for Hasan. In the 10 minute video, Hasan says that he's not against a communist party forming in the United States. Then he says that his involvement with Democrat Party shit is because he thinks it will increase people's political awareness.

The second clip he says "Yeah i don't care man" in a dismissive tone, meaning that he doesn't care what the chatter thinks. The chatter presents a hypothetical that Platner would have killed 200 girls and Hasan dismisses the hypothetical. The clipper is trying to make it seem like Hasan supports killing girls but Hasan is saying that he doesn't care to entertain the hypothetical. Hasan obviously doesn't like that the US bombed an Iranian school, killing 160 girls. He says that all the time.

You can tell that the first tweeter is a fan because the clip is 10 minutes long. Haters aren't going to watch a 10 minute clip. You can tell that the second tweeter is a hater because they posted a 7 second clip. The 7 second clip is short so that you don't get any sense of context. It is meant to deceive the viewer.

Graham Platner is a war criminal. It's kind of funny how much Establishment Democrats are talking about Hasan. It doesn't really matter what Hasan thinks. He can't stop you from organizing into a new party.

You should organize a communist party.

This is not something that can be avoided by not using google. Many websites use the google recaptcha program at account registration to prevent bots from registering. Some ddos protection systems use this captcha system.

You may have seen the "click to verify that you are human" type button on websites. A simple version exists where you only click the button and that's it Some people think it works by some mouse tracking magic. My theory is that it uses cookies to verify you are logged in with your google account.

If you do not have a google account, you always get a complicated captcha which says like "click on all of the crosswalks", buses, bicycles, etc.

Yesterday I was visiting some website and an antibot protection gave me the scan-qr-code captcha. I refreshed the page a couple times and then it gave me one of the click-on-bicycles captchas instead.


correcting my post to not say cloudflare. it seems that cloudflare has their own captcha service.

Press Statement of Permanent Representative of DPRK to UN

Pyongyang, May 7 (KCNA) -- Kim Song, permanent representative of the DPRK to the UN, issued the following press statement on May 6:

At the 11th NPT review conference now under way at the UN Headquarters, the U.S. and some vassal countries are tarnishing the atmosphere of the conference, groundlessly taking issue with the present position and exercise of sovereign rights of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, a nuclear weapons state outside the treaty.

The NPT review conference, which should contribute to the international issue of nuclear disarmament and the solution of the root cause of the danger of nuclear conflict, loses its original mission and turns into a place of malicious accusation against the sovereign states according to the sinister political attempt of the U.S. and Western forces. This is the fundamental reason why the global non-proliferation system is weakening.

I denounce and reject in the strongest tone the brigandish and shameless acts of the specific countries including the U.S. which are taking issue with the DPRK's realistic and just access to nuclear weapons through the legal route and exercise of its inherent defensive rights as a sovereign state.

The wrong behavior of the U.S. and Western countries forcing the DPRK, which transparently exercised the right to withdraw from the treaty according to Article 10 of the NPT, to fulfill the treaty obligations is a wanton violation of the spirit of the treaty and a total disregard of the purpose and principle of international law.

Before insisting obstinately on the observance of treaty obligations of the DPRK, which legally withdrew from the NPT decades ago, the U.S. should answer first whether the same criteria apply to the implementation of the obligations of various international treaties and international organizations conventions it had quit.

The soundness and legality of the NPT are not shaking by the exercise of the rights of a sovereign state existing outside the treaty, but are eroding from inside by the failure in obligations of some treaty member states including the U.S. which are abusing the nature and application of the treaty arbitrarily.

It should be the essential point of implementing the NPT and the main agenda item of the current review conference to rectify the violation of treaty obligations of the U.S. and some countries which are now neglecting the obligations to nuclear disarmament as the signatories to the NPT and resorting to such proliferation acts as offer of "extended deterrence" and transfer of nuclear submarine technology to non-nuclear states.

The position of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state does not change in accordance with rhetorical assertion or unilateral desire of outsiders.

Clarifying once again, the DPRK is not bound by the NPT in any case.

The DPRK will make a positive contribution to the efforts of the international community to ensure international peace and security and promote global strategic stability by remaining faithful to the law on the state nuclear force policy which clarifies the mission of nuclear force, the principle of using nuclear weapons and the obligation to prevent proliferation in a most transparent way and to the implementation of its obligations under the state Constitution which fixes its legal position as a nuclear weapons state. -0-

This is clearly satirical.

Isn't it kind of weird that Badempanada has no allies? He has no political party. He never collaborates with other people. I'd have a hard time believing he has any friends.

Look at the Cuba trip he did last month. He went to Cuba because he was jealous of the Neustra America Convoy. He brought no aid to Cuba and then he payed random people with paper money to be in his video. He talked shit about the Neustra America Convoy which delivered 20 tons of aid: food, medicine, and solar panels to Cuba. Then he went to Cuba and brought nothing with him except paper money. The Neustra America Convoy met with Cuban Government officials. The Neustra America Convoy had 600 people delivering aid to Cuba. Bad Empanada proudly declared that he went completely alone.

There seems to be like a misconception that in order to be a real leftist, you have to be a social pariah because in western-aligned countries socialism was the big bad. The implication becomes that if someone calls themselves socialist but is popular, liked, attractive, etc; then they must be fake socialist. Bad Empanada uses this as the sole metric for his political ideology. He's not in any organization. He doesn't do any activism. He doesn't participate in labor action. He's not even particularly principled in his beliefs. He often has controversial takes that misalign from any existing socialist political theory. His only political conviction is being a nuisance. Bad Empanada and his fans believe that he's a leftist because he's completely intolerable to be around.

Brutalism with pastel colors reminds me of DPRK infrastructure. Link below is Korean Architecture magazine from DPRK. The website currently has 8 magazines available from 2024-26. Maybe you can get more issues on archive.org.

http://www.koreanarchitecture.gov.kp/index.php?kt=TWFnYXppbmVBcmNoaXRlY3Q%3D

Sidenote: I'm always fascinated by DPRK url schemes. "TWFnYXppbmVBcmNoaXRlY3Q=" is base64 encoded of ascii string "MagazineArchitect".

Was it necessary to use a tweet by a right wing cryptocurrency podcaster as the main link?

Read Kropotkin

For the people who haven't read the bread book, Kropotkin makes arguments against child labor starting in the first chapter. He says that it is unfair that children of capitalists receive inheritance but the labor of the worker is inherited by the capitalist. That is unfair that children of workers have to work in the factory starting at the age of 13. Throughout the book, he says that children should not work in factories or mines. He says that children should receive meals from the society for free. In chapter 4, he talks about how artisans take advantage of working class children through apprenticeships (ie internships) by paying them less than the value their labor produces. In chapter 12, he talks about how capitalists would rather employ children than grown adult because children are willing to be payed less, which causes grown men to be jobless. He says the use of child labor makes society into a joke.
