I'm electricity: I'll shock you blud.

Wherever it hurts, I'll make this booboo stop.

Welp, my bad... that was a liberalism

Arabs, Thai, and Indian workers do everything.

You're otherwise correct, but no OFWs? Smh OFW erasure...

"working class isreali of color"

This is the type of phrase that'd make you say 'Read Settlers'

Honest to God tho, what's an anti-Zionist equivalent to that?

Replace em with bears and you'll get many hexbears

Insert CGP Gray video on how hexagons are the bestagons

Aight

I'll take note of the pings....

Btw thanks for the tips and suggestions, regarding subs, and CWs

At least we're fledging on with the blorptube experience

Well, here's what I heard from the recent news megathread

https://hexbear.net/post/4474329

I've wanted to cover Myanmar for a while now but haven't had the needed knowledge to write much more than "This situation really sucks." After doing a little reading on the situation, I feel even more confused. A decent analogy is the Syrian Civil War, at least while Assad was in power (though it's still pretty true today) - many different opposition groups, some co-operating with the United States, others not. The main government supported partially by an anti-American superpower, but who could live with that government collapsing if there are deals to be made with the group coming into power. A conflict kept going and exploited at least partially by the United States and other imperial core powers, though with plenty of genuine domestic animosity and desires for political independence.

Recently, the Myanmar government - the mainstream media uses "junta", which is probably accurate despite the connotations - has promised elections at the end of 2025. This doesn't seem likely to happen, and even if it did, how this would work in a country as war-torn as Myanmar is unclear. The government is losing territory and soldiers at a quick pace; they now hold only 21% of the country, though that 21% does at least comprise many of the cities. It's difficult to get a handle on the number of people affected because civil wars and insurgencies have been ongoing in some shape or form for decades, but we're talking at least millions displaced and thousands of civilians killed.

Here's a comment by @TheGenderWitch@hexbear.net from fairly recently that covers the situation in Myanmar:

Then prepare for its transition...

As expected! La lucha sigue

I don't think they should surrender...

If Hamas can do it, Hezbollah can do it. What is the Zionist Entity and Syria, overstretching themselves (Al-Sharaa's army can't even deal with the Druze, backed by the Z.E, and Z.E has its problems)

In for a penny, out for a pound.

I never really thought that Baathism, at least in Syria, was opposed to Communism.

However, I think the reason the Baathist gov't failed had a lot to do with sectarianism (Alawite minority rule) and neoliberalization (Bashar Al Assad was trying to pull off a Gorbachev or Yeltsin), which is typical to the fledgling national capitalist class, once the national liberation movement is done, and all is left to do is create a typical bourgeois state, with Global South characteristics.

That doesn't mean the sanctions and war didn't have an effect, but it did accelerate those contradictions

but in a matter of one week, so many of my people have decided that the druze minority is their enemy, and that "liberating" their towns (from their own people!) is their righteous conquest.

And in great mockery, after months of getting bombed by Israel and accepting them as an ally they can't refuse, they do this ethnic cleansing under the name of fighting Israel.

They haven't posted that already?

Do you own this
