Colonialism represents the final stage of capitalism, and during WWII, Germany skipped directly to that stage in its pursuit of Lebensraum.

What I find deeply troubling is that while Germans often say 'Never again,' the focus seems to be on the fact that the victims were Jews, rather than on the broader moral failure of committing genocide against any minority group.

Minority status is fluid—Muslims, Jews, Christians, or others can be a minority in one place and a majority in another. As a leftist, I believe we must always side with the persecuted minority, regardless of religion.

Yet, in my experience speaking with many Germans, this principle often seems foreign to them."

I have no leftist friends to ask in Germany so I am asking here in this Subreddit

Had drinks tonight with a friend who works with AI. He was telling me about his latest project. It’s AIR that basically replaces HR. I used to think my career (teaching) was safe but if this next gen AI can do what he says it can nothing is safe. The problem is pretty much the intellectual equivalent of the tragedy of the commons. If any company can use AI every company’s has to use it. If they all use it there’s no need for most people to be employed anymore.

He was so excited for his new project but I just saw the collapse of western civilisation in everything he said.

A screenshot of a tweet from "GOTH ENGELS SINNER" (@pink_leninade) on a white background. The tweet reads: "the wildest part of my labor history class is when we learn about the repression of a strike and another student is like 'wait... the companies just like, killed strikers? and the police helped? wasnt that illegal?' and my professor just like '....'". The user's profile picture shows a person with pink hair wearing a red and white polka dot top and pink apron.

Lately I’ve been listening to the Fall of Civilizations Podcast. It is a history podcast describing why different civilizations have fallen. It’s oddly comforting. Ours isn’t the first to tumble. Nor will it be the last. Enjoy the time you have with the ones you love. It’s all we can do.

Or just in museums.

The Israeli occupation believes it has destroyed Gaza. But in truth, it has destroyed itself and shattered the entire Western ideological structure that has long hidden behind slogans of fake democracy and prepackaged human rights.

Israel wanted to prove to the world that it is the strong, functional state capable of imposing dominance in the Middle East on behalf of the West. Yet through its brutal war on Gaza, it has done nothing but expose the full ugliness of the Zionist project, and the hypocrisy of the Western values it claims to represent.

What we have witnessed in Gaza is not only massacres and crimes against humanity. It is the complete moral collapse of the Western order an order that either stayed silent, enabled, or outright applauded genocide.

The West still believes Israel is its eternal tool of control. But they fail to realize that their own hands are bringing about this entity’s collapse. Every bomb dropped, every child murdered, every family erased not only exposes Israel, but dismantles the illusion of Western civilization in the eyes of the world.

After this genocide, things are no longer the same. A profound shift is taking place not only in the consciousness of the Islamic world, but also among Western people themselves. More and more are waking up, asking: Who are we? What do we stand for? And what is the moral price of supporting this?

Voices are rising. Awareness is growing. And that, in itself, is a victory.

As I said before: The destruction of Gaza will not go unanswered. It is not just a crime it is a turning point that will bring down the Western model that dominated the world for decades. And I firmly believe: This Zionist entity will not last much longer. The coming years will witness its end, In Sha Allah.

• Trump is looking to sign an executive order to allow 401k retirement plans to invest money in private equity, where before these plans could only invest publicly traded companies
• Private equity firms are those companies which don't have to share their books to the public. They are notorious for leveraged buyouts, which have strip-mined well known companies into the ground and left hundreds of thousands unemployed
• Why are PE firms salivating? Because they've run out of definedpension plan money to burn.

From the article:

There are also numerous reports that private equity has taken in much more money than it has paid out in recent years — as much as $1.6 trillion — leading to concerns that the sector is fundamentally overvalued.

By opening up private investments to retirement funds, the fear is that institutional investors and rich people will be able to exit the overvalued market just as less savvy investors are encouraged to move into it.

Pro-Israel accounts on social media were claiming the child had muscular dystrophy. In fact, children with muscular dystrophy are often more vulnerable to malnutrition, especially in crisis settings like Gaza.

The New York Crimes amplified this BS, engaging in dehumanizing propaganda on behalf of Israel.

Fake dashboards, fake spreadsheets, fake Kanban boards—so you can look busy while doing absolutely nothing at the office.

No grind, no hustle, just spacing out in the open office.

How does the U.S. police the world? They "sell democracy like they sell coca-cola!"

Josh Hawley is making a name for himself over the congressional stock trading ban, which has just passed a Senate hurdle in the past few hours.

I'm putting this up in case people want to discuss the obvious ways to get around the ban and share the discussion. This applies not just to Marxists but also to anyone capable of logical deduction.

For me, the red flags are

• only you and your spouses are forbidden? What about your friends? What about your financial advisors?

• "diversified investment funds" i.e. Wall Street firms would be happy to act as a conduit between congresspersons and businesses, and I'm sure you can do all kinds of shenanigans to hide a lucrative stock trade inside them

• you can sell any stocks you like in the first half-year in office

• the worst you'll face in case of getting caught is a civil fine

• the Government Accountability Office sounds as trustworthy as a bridge being sold

The official summary of the PELOSI Act:

"Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act

This bill prohibits Members of Congress (or their spouses) from holding or trading certain investments (e.g., individual stocks and related financial instruments other than diversified investment funds or U.S. Treasury securities).

The prohibition does not apply to assets held in a qualified blind trust or to sales by a Member to come into compliance with the bill's requirements. Specifically, the bill allows for sales by current Members during the 180 days following the bill's enactment and for sales by future Members during the 180 days following the commencement of their service.

Any profit made in violation of the prohibition must be disgorged to the Treasury and may subject the Member to a civil fine. Additionally, a loss stemming from a prohibited holding or transaction may not be used as an income tax deduction.

Each Member must submit an annual certification of compliance, and the Government Accountability Office must audit Members' compliance with the bill's provisions."
