So you would rather assist with war crimes/genocide than live in poverty? I would rather serve crack than serve the empire.

The PMC is not a real class as it does not describe the employee relationship to labour and the means of production. The way PMC is talked about online is more like an RPG class in a game than an economic or industrial term. If you have the look of an office worker, if you wear a business shirt, if you don't have calluses, then you are a PMC. Does that sound like a reasonable category to hold?

Here's a good video about it: https://youtu.be/y0KHMHngotM?si=qbUjwXwjsToXQsKx

One way to victory is to stretch Putin and his army so thinly that he is forced to give up, the source said, adding that no matter what the president’s threshold for pain was, he was unable to sustain the war indefinitely. “2024 isn’t about big operational success — there’s unlikely to be a big breakthrough this year. 2024 is about stretching Putin into 2025 and beyond — effectively calling his bluff and testing his resolve,” the source said.

Mykhailo Chaplyha, a political commentator and former vice-ombudsman of Ukraine, said he believed most people in Ukraine wanted a truce but were “afraid to admit it to themselves”. He said there was an atmosphere of “total mistrust and fear” in Ukraine and that anyone who dared to think of a truce would immediately become an “outcast and a traitor”. One Ukrainian former official said that President Zelensky was losing support in Ukraine and that although the West was saying Ukraine should not give up, there was no war strategy and men and women were being “sent to the front line to die”. “It is nonsense to send in our soldiers to die if we don’t have enough armament and resources to win militarily. What is the strategy, to keep us dying for what? And not less important — where is our diplomacy?” he said.

I understand this, however, this fact does not spare them from discrimination.

UK libs will respond by telling you to vote harder.

At this stage I don't know how anyone of Chinese background wants to participate in the governments of Canada, USA, Australia and the UK.

This video is about the big picture of our unravelling civilization.

Ever increasing numbers of men, woman, and children are dying from extreme weather disruption consequences of our angry planet undergoing abrupt climate system mayhem.

Many other humans, or rather “human animals”, according to the Israeli defence minister are being deliberately killed by bombs fired and dropped by angry people against other angry people.

As soon as a government dehumanizes other people, they are setting up conditions for genocide on a large scale. Does Israel really mean to kill over 2 million people in the Gaza Strip. Yes? No? If no, then how many will satisfy their blood lust? 50,000? 100,000? What Palestinian to Israeli death ratio are they aiming for? What ratio will cause a northern attack on Israel? What ratio will cause other Arab countries in the Middle East to enter the fray? What ratio will cause Iran to fight? What ratio will satisfy the US and other western countries, and have them suddenly pivot from supporting genocidal massacre to becoming humanitarians? Lots of questions. I guess we will experience some answers over the coming weeks.

Do the math. Without water, people die after a few days. Without food they wither away; just look at the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland. Without electricity, people are thrust back into the dark ages. When these poor souls are enclosed by a fence, with no ability to leave via land or sea, and are bombarded by one of the most powerful militaries the world has ever seen, and backed with unwavering support from the US, Canada, and other western powers expect a Gaza Holocaust. A Gaza Genocide. A Gaza Apartheid.

We can no longer assume that cities knocked over today, whether it be by floods, superstorms, wildfire incineration, derechos, or wars, will ever be rebuilt. Even western cities like New York (remember Sandy) or New Orleans (remember Katrina); in fact every place in the world are not without risk.

If you live in a nice house, in a nice neighbourhood, in a nice city and country anywhere on the planet count your blessings. Do not assume permanence. It does not take much to have everything you know turned to dust and ruin in the blink of an eye.

When there is no longer any money or materials to rebuild destroyed places, people will move to other places. Over time, there becomes fewer of these “other places”. In fact, vast regions of our planet will be rendered completely uninhabitable by heat and drought.

Civilizations around the planet are in rapid decline, and collapse occurs as “death by a thousand cuts”, not all at once, simultaneously. Anyone with open eyes and half a brain can see that happening, before their very eyes, today.
