we need to focus on the question of centralization under WHOM?

Sam Altman is correct here, and that is why owning your own local PC hardware has never been more important. Centralization is beneficial and inevitable, but that is why it must be socialist and democratic.

The US trade embargo vs China during the famine was not just industrial goods, you liar. It included food & medicines.
ALL US "allies" obeyed embargo, except Canada & Australia who sold grain to China in 61, after the worse of famine was over!

If I [Russian Deputy PM in this case] were to request something like this to a minister of a country and he goes out there hinting like this, I'll make sure to never bother him ever again regarding anything.
In defense of BSP: their party supremo is chronically ill and bedridden way past her prime, and funding is dried as hell. They don't have a cadre, and the successor is as inept as possible.
Functionally speaking, BSP barely exists at all.

Back to reading Hugh Wilford's The Mighty Wurlitzer and I am in the chapter on students. Gloria Steinem was director of a CIA funded org called the Independent Service for Information and her salary was $100 a week plus $5 per diem.
Checking 1959 US Census records, the average for women working full-time year-round was $3200.
A $5 per diem meant an additional $1825 annually, if I'm understanding thatvcorrectly, bringing her annual compensation to $7025, assuming that I'm mathing accurately.
So she was making $3825 more annually than the average American woman (and I haven't even dug into comparisons to women outside the US, particularly interested in putting this side by side with figures from the Global South).
Her annual income also exceeded average US family households by $1825.
Bamboozling the public on behalf of capitalism's private army paid her well!

I can't believe slum dwellers get invited to US State Department programs these days. Were you also a chaiwala by any chance?
What Neha Bora must understand is that there is no need for us to “go to the slums”, “go to the protests” , because we actually live in the slums . We are from the slums . We are still connected to the slums and the epi centre of the protests is us !
The seed for the rebellion is our own lives ! Our Dalit lives!
Unlike the Communist Savarnas who “visit” the slums for mobilising cadres for their protests and movements, we stay there. Live there . And we have First class experience in solving the issues . Unfortunately we do not get that limelight what media gives to these Savarnas like Neha .
Politics is not different from our lives so that we chose to do something out of the ordinary like Neha and others .
Our life itself is political. Our individual personal life is more political than any political party out there.
It is not Neha but we Dalits who must be saying “ we know better than you “ , so stop appropriating our struggles in the name of communist politics.
Your party is sustaining only because of us . If we say FO and show our middle finger to the left, your whole communist eco system will crumble.
Ah yes, i remember now. You were the one calling for international intervention, right? nitter.cf/TheBluePen25/status/18…
Ukrainians don't consider any of these patches to be nazi symbols, Mike. Some might be controversial, but they aren’t forbidden by law in Ukraine. If he had Nazi swastika or portrait of Hilter, that would be another matter. And honestly, why would they give a fuck about personal views of the soldiers, as long as they don’t break the law? Elon does Nazi salutes in public and US government doesn’t care. Maybe, you should self reflect a little bit too?
This is, in fact very opposite of gatekeeping. This is you being allowed inside, but choosing not to get inside, and then accusing people who entered of gatekeeping just because they noticed your absence.
The audacity of privileged voices lecturing grassroots anti-caste movements on how, where, and when to struggle. Marginalized communities don’t need Savarna gatekeepers dictating the "correct" way to fight oppression.

Your mortal sin: Not laying out red carpet for me.

The baseline of collective European diplomacy is the sensibility of a sociopathic (I mean this in the clinical sense) toddler: unable to imagine another's standpoint, unwilling to acknowledge it, offended that the world doesn't turn around them.

【所谓“大跃进时期饿死三千万”最早来自于香港大学荷兰籍历史教授冯客】
错的离谱
他把别人的3000万 莫名其妙的加上50% 得出来4500万
他的书刚出版，我就公开的谴责他；2023年9月26日我的推文
【冯客不是历史学家是历史发明家 他炒作中国困难时期的死亡人数少4500万，而这个结论是他在别人的3000万乘上个3/2.先不说别人的数据是否属实。没具体数据的玩弄数学游戏也敢冒充历史家？ 】
【 冯克书中写到毛泽东说：“不够吃会饿死人，最好饿死一半，让另一半人能吃饱。” 我对毛后期持否定态度，但反对用谎言攻击任何一个人。 毛这句话的出处是谈精简建设项目，下马一些项目去保一批重点项目，根本不是谈人 冯克不配称为学者，核实材料并不难，他只会哗众取宠】
他的原话【“中国本土学者曹树基（复旦大学教授）通过查阅全国各地的公开县志，用严谨的人口学方法算出大饥荒非正常死亡是 3000多万。但是，我（冯客）去了一些地方档案馆，看了内部未公开的公安局统计，发现有些县公安局记录的死亡数字，比公开县志和统计局报上去的数字，大出了 50% 左右。既然公开资料算出来是3000多万，而未公开档案比公开资料大了一半，所以 3000万 至少还要加一半，就是 4500万。】
就算是真的他看到地方档案，某一地区少报三分之一，他凭什么能就推广到整个中国
将局部重灾区的瞒报率不加区别地推广到全国的做法，不是学者的无知，是政治立场决定的颠倒黑白的无耻

read "The Struggle for Modern Tibet" (1997) By Tashi Tsering, one of those enslaved boys. Monks took him as a "dancing boy", a great honor, and they also used him for sexual relief. It wasn't until he got education abroad that he joined the revolution and defected back to China
Always a delight to hear what these guys are upto
A #US court has ordered a #Virginia resident to remove his encroachment from land owned by the late Kanu Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson, and his wife Shiva Gandhi, after a 20-month legal battle led by Parimal Desai from Surat
The dispute involved 30 acres of land adjoining Shenandoah National Park in Warren County, Virginia, which the Gandhi couple bought in 1987. During their final years in South Gujarat, they created a charitable trust and transferred their assets to it. Desai now serves as managing trustee.

Fuck surat, fuck it's diamond merchants. I hope chinese keep flooding the market with their cheap artificial alternatives and destroy these parasites.
Three years ago, PM Modi inaugurated the 3,200-crore Surat Diamond Bourse, calling it “the best diamond in the world” and an example of “Modi’s guarantee” for Surat.
Today, the “world’s biggest office space in a single project” is a largely empty shell.
