Don’t even respond to me again btw if you plan to spout this kind of ignorance about a Qatari news source which had anchors crying on air while the US airbase adjacent to their office launched jets. Just don’t even bother speaking to me again if you don’t know basics. I think I’ll link-post for a while, almost every notification is just vile like on Reddit

Assange and Snowden are also liberals all of it is garbage. They make facile statements. Imagine reading about a German in WWII publishing articles saying “In Hitler’s Germany, Protesting Genocide Is Illegal, But Committing Genocide Is Rewarded” - you would laugh, right? This is what every piece out of The Cradle, The Intercept, all of this trash looks like to me. It’s why the social libertarian left is mentally sterile

Lol if you think 972 mag has done “tons of great reporting” you’re too much of a rube to speak to me

“It’s not a secret” = I trust these sources and so should you. Not very critical are you. It’s expected

Well I am curious if this is even correlated to anything or if the non-IRGC part of the government just makes things up for fun. Not really optimistic on getting any info out of Lemmy at this point though.

I’ve read this garbage already. I’m not as obsessed with glazing Al Jazeera, MEE, Haaretz, and 972mag as most “communists” online

Don’t threaten me with a good time

Tricontinental and geopol econ (ben norton) breakthrough news etc have some sketchy history around reporting on the dirty war in Syria but overall I agree with what you’re saying. Losurdo and Rockhill don’t have 100% perfect takes either but unlike most writers their work actually prepares you to deal with that 😁

Frightening how much older all these ppl are there is just nothing going on in the US other than imitation of stale tactics AFAIK.

It comes up with unbelievable frequency because the first reaction from radlibs or unequal exchange nerds to hearing from a dependency theory based perspective of international relations that actually incorporates debt and institutions instead of just particular trade metrics -something more than the boring Mearsheimer tier shit - is to accuse you of being ACP/MWM shills or Russia/Dugin agents (reflecting the Russiagate obsession with him as “Putin’s Rasputin”). Crazy bc in that situation I’m not the Heideggerian calling for the worship of the US reactionary working class + petty boug + labor aristocracy + national boug & tailism for a US political party it’s them. These parties have huge overlap with the alt media and the larouche ppl

Disturbing how social media has churned out these people who immediately associate antiimperialist analysis (usually from writers in the global south & in the same tradition) with insane reality show heel characters they heard abt from streamers who feed them right wing ragebait 24/7. It comes up too often it’s creepy. Robert Evans and Zizek stans crawling out of the walls at any opportunity. Whatever at least people stopped talking abojt the stupid Hegelian e-girls

For books you want https://annas-archive.se/ they also mirrored & continued the now frozen scihub btw

Related: have you read Back to Marx + A Deep Plough by Zhang Yibing by any chance? I’m alarmed that the only people I know for sure have read it are Gabriel Rockhill, one of the Hegelian e-girls (if you don’t know trust me better off that way) who was absolutely butchering it, and people I’ve nagged to read it for montha bc it’a very good. If you’ve got time read Destruction of Reason by Georg Lukács as well as Blood In My Eye by George Jackson. It’s an important niche of writing because it helps people figure out what they should not be reading (low use value). If there were half as many Marxist critics of this stuff as there are mediocre Keynesian critics of neoclassical economics it would at least be a little easier to find people to coordinate research with

Really need more like those two + Critical Theory Workshop

Thank you based Western Marxism by Losurdo poster

Yeah for a while the only people I ran into who understood the situation were the ones spreading disinformation abt it and being suspiciously aggressive. :/

Hey we can’t make Yogthos do all the work

Wowow I won’t pry but I’m curious what it was in as I wasn’t getting much turns out especially since what I was getting was magnesium oxide which allegedly absorbs inefficiently. I have neglected to buy powder for it so I have just been eating rich foods. Makes me sleep better

Protein fiber potassium and fish oil are like 40%, 50% is constitution e.g. sleep + exercise + posture + stress + lymph drainage + inflammation, 5% is these weird substances i imbibe which hopefully do not contain heavy metals, 5% is unknown. It’s just a baseline thing which makes any further medical treatment more accurate I don’t mean to present myself as a holistic healer. Also you in general want to eat lots of plants because of all their unknown special chemicals we all love plants don’t we folks

Oh shidd

I’m kind of happy that I scooped out the whole toys and vidya part of my brain and replaced it with history and computers

Oh sorry I wasn’t thinking about the vitaminosis thing even tho you had just told me omg, I just feel a complete night and day difference in my personality when I eat 25-38g fiber, lots of fish for protein and omega 3s.In that case I will just say that you should watch your sodium and magnesium levels if you go any long periods without eating (I skip breakfast for metabolic reasons, so I take flavored electrolyte drinks I make, it’s easy)

YOU NEED POTASSIUM NOBODY IS GETTING ENOUGH POTASSIUM YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS YOUR FIRST PRIORITY ACTUALLY MEASURE HOW MUCH IS IN YOUR FOOD TRUST ME YOU ARE DEFICIENT EVERYONE IS NOBODY LISTENS TO ME PLS

You can get it in citrate or chloride powder it’s suuuper cheap in bulk you can get a year’s supply for like $20

Incomplete list of supplements that flip me from wanting to laze around to wanting to clean and go running:

• l-carnitine (good for muscle recovery and vegan diets, especially paired with carnosine, it’s much cheaper in powder than in meat of course)

• beta alanine

• betaine

• citrulline malate (2 things but they come mixed)

• l-arginine

• taurine (very good for studying, has a calming and focusing effect)

• l-theanine (same as above)

Idk what alpha gpc is or does but it also seems to help lol. If this seems like some brain force shit it isnt, you’d be surprised how far ahead I am of those chumps lol. I buy all this shit separately but you can prolly get it if you search “caffeine free preworkout”

I wish you could get tianeptine or racetams etc, come move across the pacific 😉

Oh damn hope you feel better. Honestly electrolytes rich diet & b12 will have you way higher energy than the caffeine pills after a while. Is it cool if I infodump about substances that revivify me? I wish you guys had tianeptine in your pharma system in the states
