Summary of thread: Any form of capitalism in the global North is incommensurate with non-exploitative relations betn global North and South.
"It sounds like a qawwali" yeah well classical music, like palaces, temples, garments, everything in the movie and in Indian culture, is a fusion that evolved over time. You are deluded if you think there's a line between "alien" and "authentic". And we used to be okay with that.

fun french song to discover today (linked below):
check out the lyrics in french and english!
Even those on the left are quick to scold "hooligans" but the hooligans in uniform are never chastised for maiming, lynching and beating unarmed protestors

European liberals endorsed the U.S. bombing UNESCO world heritage sites in Iran, and now they are like "the political violence of targeting the Hermés boutique must end! 😭" You are a bunch of racist assholes and hypocrites
Do not go into right wing discourse about the French protests, it's a cesspool of the vilest racism. In the end the only way to get rid of that is to win
It's just shocking how common the use of the terms "barbarians", "invaders", "Islamists" etc has become when talking about whole groups of people. Well, not shocking but sad how little we learn from history, even when it is a core part of our education. Ideology trumps all.

The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar! - Karl Marx, The Civil War in France
The history of space travel in the USSR puts the lie to the idea that communism, even in a formerly peasant nation, cannot come up with amazing technological leaps
The flying car looks like shit, releases enormous amounts of pollution. But the funniest thing is people claiming communism, which sent the first satellite into space, couldn't have done this.
I don't know how this can be anything but a symptom of a decaying economy
In FY2026, 31 lakh Indians chose to earn through Zomato and Blinkit as delivery partners. That’s 57% more than the previous year.
Behind every one of these numbers is a person with interests and ambitions. A student balancing classes, an entrepreneur building something of their own, a dancer pursuing their passion, and a parent juggling work and family.
We co-created this song with @ItsAmitTrivedi to celebrate our delivery partners, their many pursuits, and the journeys they’re on.
We’re proud to be a part of each and every one of them.
Right now the only way out of the worsening consequences for the human race (not AI existential risk but AI dependence, increasing warming, techno-fascism) is that the AI bubble bursts and the market crashes, creating space for socialism and the green transition.
We’ve known that an alghorithm was “going to eventually kill everyone” for around 200+ years now. It’s called the profit motive. An unyielding “line go up” eternal growth algorithm that has slipped out of human control for a very long time now. Skynet isn’t killer drones, it’s quarterly earning spreadsheets.
Not only is the AI risk hype and call for slowdown a cynical strategy to regulate away competition, but there's no way they can mutually agree to a slowdown. It's as classic a prisoner's dilemma situation as you can get
