I mean, if you think there is a low rate of cameras in Chinese cities you haven’t been there or spoken with anyone from there about it… yes the number is sensationalist and no way to verify

Yes… the internet is much more anonymous /s

Fair.

No worries. But making a movement into a farce of itself and encouraging infighting is right out of the 1970s cointel playbook.

Even better if you can do the above to the point that the original ideology is no longer decently reflected in the current discourse

(Note this is consistent with most online leftists spaces, so not throwing specific shade on ML, and gets into a whole greater problem with the role social tech platforms play in shaping discourse)

Yes. Agree. And I would suggest it is counterproductive to the point of being counter-revolutionary.

A simulacrum mocking the landscape it seeks to map

Cowbee I like the chart, but respectfully a lot of the rhetoric on ML instances reads closer to trolling than engaging to build a “sympathetic base” , just my 2 cents not worth much more than that ;-)

This the money comment IMo

Depends what yah read though, doesn’t it

If the Democrats running the states were serious about protecting their constituents they would bring murder and state-level RICO charges against the appropriate members of ICE.

But all I hear is a hollow “please don’t do this”

Fuck this two party, techno-fascist enabling system.

People need to stand up to protect themselves - no one else is in these situations

Based on reported experiences, privately run for-profit centers are maximizing profit at the expense of providing appropriate care. They do so by:

1. Pushing for maximum weekly hours they can charge public/private insurers based on coverage (without deferment to child/family needs)

2. Using in some cases remote/foreign low cost labor for diagnosis / non-care provision, while charging US rates

3. Aggressive sales tactics

4. Paying high wages to new graduates, but with a low ceiling on wages and high case load, leading to rotating care to the detriment of building a strong relationship with patients

Most of the providers are good people who mean well and want to help children. The problem is there is a lack of available services and centers for these families, so if the model weren’t so profit centric at the expense of disabled children the added investment would be welcome

This is the insight I came looking for.

Don’t fully track the finer points, eg. & IMO more likely to be a push towards the autocratic stewards managing Trump as a lame duck tainted by the Epstein scandal and policy backlash going into 2026. But yeah… tracks generally

Thanks for the thoughts

Cowbee, I disagree almost entirely with what you posted. But with respect for you clearly articulating your position I will share my response.

To your “But Russia is not imperialist” , please reflect on the following and to what extent you must stretch a rationalization:

First and Second Chechen Wars (1994, 2000) Puppet Leader in Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko (1996) Puppet leader in Ukraine Victor Yanukovych (2010) Georgian War (2008) Annexation of Crimea (2014) Role in Syria conflict (2000 onwards) Role in African dictatorships in Burma Faso and Niger (2010s- present)

… global south / US bad too / old Soviet vassal states must kneel ect… I get it. But the above conflicts are evidence of state capitalism exerting itself militarily for geopolitical and economic aims

I doubt this will influence you much as you are pretty invested in your world view. But from my vantage point and reading of theory (likely some overlap if you are ML) - you are wrong *respectfully

Cowbee. I appreciate some of your takes on Marxism, but disagree frequently with your frame of reference on state power in the global field.

I view the war with Ukraine as one of Russo imperialism in response to Western imperialism. Indeed the USSR itself had many imperialist tendencies under a unified Asiatic / Slavic Soviet even as did Western and Asian counterparts post WW2

The irony being I am more allied to Trotsky or Luxemburg’s take. Which no doubt wouldn’t receive fair purchase in ML group. Forgive me for not directly referencing War and International - as it meanders but hits many themes relevant to Russia/Ukraine conflict

That being said to summarize my view: wars of conquest as a tool for furthering state capital / geopolitical interests shouldn’t be supported by Marxists, and posting the rationalization of an autocrat reads as support to me.

Symping for autocrats are we? How very Marxist-Leninist Edit: * /s *

Sending love. Good on you for what you do

What the fuck would you propose they do?

I mean fuck that cunt

What about the “metaverse”? I thought that was your thing?

People can know things without having experienced them personally you twat… waiting for the “show me your sources” post next
