Also, there is something about the young 20 year old “body-builder” (P.E.D abuser) being full on Nazis these days. I don’t know why these people think being built like a traphouse pitbull is actually gonna do anything. Your footwork, pain tolerance and stamina will always have far more of an impact. Dudes built like Whomp from Mario 64 very rarely have all of that down.
Wish I could have seen the dude’s throat get stomped in. Choking on your own neck cartilage is the only justified end for every Nazi scum-fuck.
assuming you’re doing 8 hour days five days a week was what I meant but yeah, there’s exceptions.
I once had a (non-union, no less!) job where every day where 8 hours was surpassed, everything over that was overtime, regardless of whether there were 50 hours worked a week or 32.
I’ve had a few jobs that did that but a rate on production bonuses. There exist some decent places to get paid if you don’t mind brutal labor; but really, it all circles back to realizing how much money they actually make on each project or widget you do versus how much you get paid. Modern-day profit truly is something else.
If you’re working forty hours a week and you work more than eight hours a day assuming you’re doing 8 hour days five days a week you are getting OT because that’s more than 40 hours total a week. Anything over 40 hours is OT and most people work their eight hour days. Special circumstances aside.
Yeah, I more so meant if you’re working 40 hours a week. Good catch, am exhausted myself from OT.
I made a mistake, I was assuming full-time work; anything over 8 hours is overtime
Yeah, I more so meant if you’re working 40 hours a week. Good catch, am exhausted myself from OT.
You do still get overtime over 8 hours; not sure if that’s what they “extended” in Argentina or if they just mean it’s normal for 12 hour workdays now.
Dismissal without severance pay is typically the case. Americans rarely get access to unemployment; the four times I’ve tried to access it, it takes so long to approve me that any bills that I Would have needed to cover would have already gone past due. I never got approved, anyways, because the employer basically has to be like “Yes, he did voluntarily quit and I want to give him unemployment!” and if you challenge it the court usually sides with the bougie.
Most “essential” unions are deemed “critical” and are unable to strike. Public employees, for example. That basically kills a good chunk of people that would be striking.
It’s funny going on a week hiatus and just checking messages to be called terminally online. What projected, sad irony. Good job on completely missing the point and going on a full “ML” remark.
You need better practice at this.
Oh cool, you also gargle propaganda from an evangelical nutjob Adrian Zens and from the U.S State Department on it’s number-one global rival. Very analytical and socialist of you.
There is no “plight”, the U.N found nothing and reported nothing. Again and again, people like you do the work of the feds back in the 50s-60s.
You’re a delusional, rabid shitlib that is actively towing the line for a invasion of Venezuela by a hegemonic power that has over 200 military bases in the world while playing down the actual efforts of a socialist nation that has succeeded in nearly eliminating homelessness with a higher literacy rate, higher home-ownership rate and higher protein consumed per capita as demonstrable effects of socialist policy meant to assist and uplift the working class of the nation.
A large majority of those in China is a PART of the Communist Party of China and it has one of the highest government satisfaction rates in the entire world, despite the criticisms people can level at it rightfully or not. You tow the line for imperialism, deny the accomplishments of one of the most successful socialist experiments and have the right to call anything “delusional?”

Pretty great way of looking at it. A lot of our space-power is being projected from the 70s-90s. Star-link is probably the most recent form of it and it’s not being projected outwards but rather inwards; entirely a surveillance network disguised as a internet provider, pretty much, lmao.
ESA and Japan have more note-worthy space programs as of the moment even in just the West.
Shit-libs talking about the sanctity and “conflict-of-interest” of “state-news” but willingly eats up the slop from the State Department about China and the litany of deposed states that function worse than they did after intervention like Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq…list goes on. They’ll gargle up every headline from BBC, NBC, CNN, etc with their “anonymous sources” “Undisclosed Pentagon Official” or the litany of intelligence agents in their midst. https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp91-00901r000500050029-0 This was just from the 60s-70s. Did they suddenly stop?
Acknowledging that you’d rather trust the news of a foreign state, even if it’s directly backed by them over the captured news agencies of the west who controls the global empire of commerce, trade with military bases globally and interventions to put the British Empire to shame gets met with “WhAtAbOuTiSm” and crying about Pootin as if he’s directly bankrolling every person on our instance.
When Ukraine gets inevitably destroyed, you’ll have half of you decrying that the war ever happened and the other half saying we could have done more but it wasn’t the right time. A liberal is against every war except the current one.
Anyways, copypasta time:
я не из калининграда@lemmy.ml (not a native english speaker, I believe) i do not support the current administrations internal actions, as capitalism has brought nothing but injustice, suffering, poverty, crime and corruption. but i absolutely do support its foreign policy, especially regarding the ukrainian question. the putin government has evolved to become one of the most effective anti-imperialist forces on the planet and even if you ignore the terrible nature of the terrorist zelensky-regime one has to be grateful to our military for fighting the biggest enemy of mankind, america.
so lets detail the happenings that led to the current situation:
(it may be important to note that the current russian administration pushes a slightly different narrative due to sadly being a right wing state)
banderite collaborators parading in front of nazi officers the banderites (see picture), members of the fascist “organization of ukrainian nationalists” led by stepan andreyevich bandera were a gang of rapists and murderers who collaborated with the invading german hordes and assisted them by conducting acts of terror against civilians. It is important to note that popular support for them was close to zero. after the victory of the heroic red army, the majority of those parasites fled to the west, predominantly to canada. they received funding from american and british intelligence agencies, which were more than happy to welcome “former” nazis into their own anti-communist ranks. another subset of the banderites remained in the ukrainian ssr and conducted a campaign of terror and sabotage against the civilian population. their bloody deeds were supported by the cia and its european puppet agencies through the so called “operation aerodynamic”.
referendum on the preservation of the ussr. its results were ignored by the anti-communists
After the illegal and undemocratic dissolution of the ussr, the leaders of those fascist gangs were glorified by the ukrainian far-right, with support from the cia. efforts to further their “rehabilitation” were primarily directed by nazi expatriates in canada. outlets such as voice of america portrayed them as “heroes”. (aerodynamic, some of these were manufactured in the U.S under Operation Mockingbird like a lot of U.S state dept. bullshit)
election before cia intervention. this division between neonazi northwest and pro-russian southeast is visible to this day
in 2004, the west sabotaged the ukrainian presidential elections and installed their puppet, viktor andreyevich yushchenko, through a color revolution. he was a terrible leader, not only dismantling the remaining aspects of the ukrainian economy and managing to make life even more miserable than it already was, but also granting “hero of ukraine” status to banderite leaders and holocaust perpetrators stepan bandera and roman iosifovich shukhevich.
(not adding picture of 2014 ukrainian nazis since you have already said you believe in that)
in 2014, america and the west orchestrated another coup, this time not even bothering to hide the involvement of neo-nazis. the new regime perpetrated unspeakable atrocities against the russian population, whom it consideres “subhuman,” as well as against ukrainian anti-fascists. in odessa alone, 39 people were burned alive in the local trade union building.
those developments led to the revolution in the predominantly russian populated donbass-area and the creation off the donetsk and lugansk peoples republics, as well as the referendum in crimea that led to the peninsula finally rejoining russia. from 2014 till 2022 the majority of humanitarian aid to the donbass republics came from the cprf.
the reason for the smo is the ukrainian western-aligned nazi regime violating the minsk accords by refusing to demilitarize, trying to join the fascist nato-block and murdering russian civilians for years on end. the russian government showed itself extremely lenient, to lenient even, as any sensible politician would have staged a military intervention much earlier. if you need further proof for the tyrannical nature of the kievan regime just look at the fact that zelenskiy has banned all opposition parties in his country, refuses to hold elections and effectively rules as a military dictator. furthermore he has outlawed the russian language, made any negotiation with the russian state illegal and is currently selling whatever is left of his country to the highest bidder. combine all this with the fact that the west and its puppets need to always be opposed due to them being a cancer of humanity and you’ll get a pretty good picture of why to support the russian military.
From Davel: No. In a few more words, support for Russia (not Putin, as historical materialists don’t subscribe to great man theory) is only a partial, temporary, tactical one, in the context of imperialist liberation. Russia is still a capitalist state, though, so it’s a two stage strategy: first liberate colonized bourgeois states from colonizer states, and second revolution within those liberated bourgeois states.
Russia is an interesting case: it has already liberated itself from the post-Soviet “shock therapy” neocolonizers. This occurred during Putin’s administration, which is why he is especially hated by the US. So now the support for Russia is in the context of keeping the colonizers from recolonizing it, and supporting Russia to the extent that it helps other states liberate themselves. But Russia isn’t trying to “liberate” Ukraine, at least not all of Ukraine. It’s trying to resolve the genocidal attacks on the people of the Donbas, and it’s trying to resolve the imperialist military expansion at its border.
Also, Ukraine really does have a fascism problem and has for a long time, and the coup government has materially supported it.
How does that even happen. Do they have a wood-chip supply chain next door? Did they call in the landscapers to switch shifts?
Of course not, that’s exactly why you don’t get the “world picture”.
Anger is the natural emotion one feels when they become aware of the world and the damage the west has done. Where there is desperation, there is a demand for change and the imperialist west has engineered such desperation for the world over millions in exchange for cheap goods.
I don’t need your sympathy. “I pray that you will grow intellectually, so that you can understand the problems of the world and where you fit into, in that world picture. I pray that all the fear that has ever been in your heart will be taken out” ~ El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz
Hong Kong was a British buffer state that deserved to be crushed and Tiananmen Square was where student protestors were given weapons and materials to attack Chinese officials/police officers. Even your average communist can tell you that when you attack police/etc you should EXPECT a response despite the remarkable restraint they showed. Much more than American police at the very least.
Instead of shitting your whole pants and crying about propaganda, how about you apply some actual critical thinking and tell me why X is propaganda and how so instead of knee-jerk deflecting into “DUH TANKIE COMMIE IZ BAD”
Example, why is Taiwan not there’s when it was created by a fascist government in exile that was justifiably exterminated by the communists after collaborating with the Japanese?
Why wouldn’t anyone want too? Is someone freaking out over Toonami Square?
