Many have spoken of this for a while, moslty seen yt videos on subject.

Notable one is Richard Wolff, another is Chris Hedges, but his show got canceled again for talking against status quo, hopefully he goes independent!

Thanks for sharing!

edit: word

I do not think that is a healthy way of looking at the world.

The working class are just pawns in these never ending wars we somehow keep finding ourselves in.

This is all [due] to the owner class pushing for more profits and more infighting within the working class.

The real war should be the class war!

I would be really careful when labeling it in that way.

If Iran nuked Israel, the US would join in even more and retaliate for Israel, since most of our gov't and politicians get some form of donations or help from AIPAC and such.

This would start WWIII at a much quicker rate than what it currently is, not to mention Russia and China would also have to join in.

Zionists would be a better word, IMO, force a ceasefire and sanction Israel would be the minimum.

Regime change does not work.

Just look at our track record in Middle East, Africa, Latin America.

It does force mass immigration, famine, violence, and much more in the regions though.

We must contine to grow as humans, let us keep lesrning and teaching as we head to the future!

Chinese President Xi Jinping is on his first trip to Europe in five years, which is likely to be dominated by Russia’s war in Ukraine as well as economic strains between Beijing and Brussels.

The first stop will be France, with Xi due to hold talks in Paris on May 6 with French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, before travelling south to the Pyrenees.

After that, he will travel to Serbia and Hungary, two countries that have maintained close ties with Russia despite its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

But the trip also comes amid a deteriorating global security climate, with the war in Ukraine now into its third year and at least 34,683 Palestinians killed in Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza.

Caring for working class people dying is being a Putin fan?


@iAmTheTot comments:

  1. Nah I'll care about all humans now, thanks.
  1. I don't have a direct line to Putin to take it up with him.

2a. Valuing human life isn't coming across as approval of Putin's actions, is it? Cause that would be a weird conclusion to draw, imho.

  1. Yes, I think it is weird. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is unconscionable and tragic. This view does not conflict with expressing remorse that 100 human beings were killed in the blink of an eye. The fact that you think holding the latter opinion means the person must be making a political statement is sad.

Owner class will always make more wars for working class people to die, US does the same.

We must not forget humans are being killled due to more endless wars that are pushed by the owner class.

Owner class and their lackeys will always root for: Profit over people.

Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

As some peeps in the US say: "NATO is a terrorist organization."

Just more pushing China and Russia together, while better for our military companies for WW3, much profits to be had.

China’s hostility to Nato is part of the reason why Beijing has maintained its support for Moscow since the invasion of Ukraine. Xi’s visit will “remind the world that although China and Serbia are geographically separated by the Eurasian continent, they share the same security interests. We need to strengthen our cooperation to overcome the security threats from the US and Nato,” Shen says.

You do have a great point that I have heard before from a political commentator, boycotts affect a fanchise and their owners which in turn affects the local community.

Thanks for taking the time to explain!

What does your comment mean?

I am not sure of "More Riders" means in this context...

Thank you!

KFC is among a number of Western brands in Malaysia, where more than 60 percent of the population is Muslim, that have been subject to boycott calls over their perceived links to Israel.

“Contributing positively to the Malaysian community, preserving the brand love for KFC and protecting employees of the brand are all priority to the organisation. Employees from affected outlets were offered the opportunity to relocate to busier operating stores as part of the company’s re-optimisation efforts,” the company said in a statement on Monday.

In February, McDonald’s cited boycott campaigns in the Middle East, Indonesia and Malaysia for sales growing just 0.7 percent during the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with a 16.5 percent growth the previous year.

Briahna Joy Gray and Robby Soave discuss Google firing more employees over sit-ins over its cloud computing contract with Israel.

Edit:

  • replaced yt link with correct link

Short Summary

  1. 50 Google employees were fired following protests against the company's contract with Israel's Nimbus project, a $1.2 billion deal for cloud services to the Israeli government and military.
  2. The protests were sparked by concerns over the use of Google's technology in the conflict with Gaza, with employees demanding assurances that their work would not contribute to warfare.
  3. Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the workplace is not a place for politics, leading to the firings.
  4. A legislative battle is ongoing between Google and California regarding a bill that would require tech giants to compensate news publishers for using their content on platforms or in search results.
  5. In response to the bill, Google removed California news websites from some search results, drawing criticism from California State Senator Mike McGuire among others.
  6. The situation underscores the challenges faced by newspapers in the digital age, where advertising revenue has largely shifted to online platforms.
  7. The video discusses the legal similarities between news shows and search engines under internet laws like Section 230, highlighting Google's significant power and profits from its search engine monopoly.
  8. There's a debate on whether Google will prioritize journalism over profits, especially as deplatforming news sites could affect the search engine's effectiveness and open doors for competitors.
  9. Similar regulatory challenges faced by Google in Australia and Canada are mentioned, where the company had to negotiate with the government over news content.
  10. The speaker acknowledges the complexity of the issue, mentioning a company that felt harmed by being blocked on Google despite seeking help, and commits to further investigation into the matter.

Adele Khodr, regional director for the U.N.’s children’s aid organization, said that numerous reported child deaths in Gaza are “man-made, predictable and entirely preventable.”

The Biden administration has increased pressure on the Israeli government in recent days over humanitarian aid, launching an airdrop campaign in Gaza to deliver aid and stepping up statements critical of the Israeli government.

Khodr said the situation is most dire in northern Gaza, where fighting has gone on the longest and aid is less accessible. She said that about 16 percent of children showed signs of malnutrition in a study in January.

“Now, the child deaths we feared are here and are likely to rapidly increase unless the war ends and obstacles to humanitarian relief are immediately resolved,” she added.
