I’m trying to understand China’s alleged role in the US’s fentanyl problem. Is fentanyl largely being manufactured in the US but with chemicals that are often sourced from China?

A red sun rises in the east. We’ve got bright days ahead of us!

I feel good! Thanks.

No way! I’m just patient like a stone when it comes to work. If you wait around long enough the right moment for organizing eventually comes around. I think a lot of people are better at moving faster when it comes to their projects. I have to build relationships and trust over years.

Thanks, dirty bird. I had no choice. I had spent too much time telling my kids that you’re a piece of shit if your co-workers are organizing a union and you don’t stand with them. I had to put my money where my mouth is. My kids said they would still love me even if I got fired so that made it easier.

I didn’t know how badly I needed some grass touching. There’s gonna be a lot more of it too. I think it’s gonna be a lot of work to build a strong union culture. I’m really glad that some of my colleagues had the courage to take the first steps, because it doesn’t always go so well (I know that the hard way).

Also nothing bad happened in other countries during the 1930s no one died in America during the great depression. People dying is totally cool if it’s market directed

Some might say the US had a famine. I’m one of those people.

I expect that this type of shit is really effective. All the libs in positions of power can talk about it endlessly. They won’t be able to help themselves. In their boundless eagerness to take the bait they’ll completely set aside any interest in building working class power that could actually be used to do anything transformative.

Well, it doesn’t look like that’s what they did.

This is so much more useful than building a coalition of militant labor unions that will take your fight into the factories and threaten capitalist production at its core.

Don’t let them forget that they loved JD Vance too. When he made a name for himself by shitting on rural, poor people a lot of libs thought he was one of their own.

How do I know China uses slave labor? The richest people in the world that have lied to me about everything told me so.

After the “China is genociding Muslims for no reason” debacle that the liberals made up you would think people would be more skeptical of anti-China rhetoric, but Chinese people are also Asian, so I guess you can just make up anything and it counts as indisputable reality.

Normal operations. The court did some tortured legalism on behalf of the rich.

last year

Who was president?

No, it’s bribing people to leave without making a fuss.

Clinton’s NATO bombed the Chinese embassy 5 years before and not one peep

I’ve posted about that several times. It happened while I was in high school. It blew my mind to see the media let the DOD say that they didn’t do it on purpose but they also hadn’t done anything wrong in planning or executing the mission. It was an early radicalizing moment to see how I apparently didn’t deserve a coherent explanation for why this happened.

I heard from my mom last night that Putin directed Iran to tell Hamas to do the 10/7 attack. It was calculated to divide the US so we would be less effective in supporting Ukraine. This led to me yelling for two hours, which I don’t feel good about, but I’m tired of explaining that when examining the world you have to strive to find plausible explanations for why things are happening, not something as fucking stupid as saying the people of Gaza were perfectly satisfied until a bunch of outside agitators got them stirred up.

Edit: She actually doesn’t watch MSNBC. This is NYT brain. She used to be fine with criticizing media that promoted the war in Iraq, but doing that now means you’re just like Trump.

I am descending into madness.
