Fired for passing failing students. At this point in North America teachers have to pass failing students! I’m not US American so I am not sure if “No Child Left Behind” means no failing, though I remember it was a Bush jr policy that lowered standards.

Sounds like you went to very “active” middle and high schools!

That’s because he’s a Marcos and a US toady. Easy fix: get rid of Marcos. Have a sovereign foreign and domestic policy.

Yes, that’s pretty much what I meant. In theory, the best brands would rise to the top under capitalism. So the US brands have failed without state intervention.

Which model of redmi did you have? I currently use the Redmi Note 12. It’s… okay. I had a previous Xiaomi (can’t remember which model) that I thought was an excellent price for high quality.

Definitely Chinese phones have better specs for their prices, as compared to US/Korean brands. Still, I’m looking for that special deal of a mid-tier-priced phone with flagship specs. Considering getting the Oneplus 13.

WTAF? The cope of failing at capitalism is real.

They cost waaaaay too much. Most flagship phones do.

Still using my two year old Xiaomi Redmi Note 12. It was super cheap, relatively. Like about 12 times cheaper than the Huawei tri-fold.

The duality of human

Do you mean investors are trying to manipulate stocks by planting stories? Yeah, I think so. But intelligence agencies have whole training programs on how to manipulate narratives, and a very long track record of doing so.

See: Israel’s hasbara apparatus,

GCHQ leaked documents on infiltrating and derailing socialist discussions,

Church Committee Hearings,

“The Cultural Cold War” by Frances Stonor Saunders.

Liberalism is a political-economic ideology that gives a friendly face to capitalism. While market discipline enforces inhumane measures like a park bench that prevents homeless people from sleeping on it, simultaneously the same society produces the friendly face “solution” of a small, overburdened charity organization to help homeless people.

So the state, which has the authority to enforce public park design, or, you know, regulate housing, won’t help. The liberal solution to systemic social inequity is charity.

I don’t think any of their goons are astroturfing (well, maybe World Superbikes). Did you mean a different entity?

Good evidence of astroturfing on Reddit. That Reddit took action and banned the Palantir agents only provides evidence that exposure of the op is the problem. Not evidence that Reddit acts in good faith.

As long as you get that feeling, then no need to evaluate the content of things. We have teams of people to do that. Then they tell you what context cues to look for instead of evaluating it yourself.

Since Reuters is writing this up like it’s just the norm for Pakistani PMs to be charged with crimes, rather than giving context, here’s an article explaining that the US pushed Pakistani lawmakers to remove Khan. He was friendly to Russia and visited Putin just at the moment that the Special Military Operation began (aka invasion of Ukraine). He was also on a serious anti corruption campaign which would have threatened the very strings the US pulled to unseat him. He is hugely popular in Pakistan, and when there was an attempted assassination the crowd rallied around him to protect him.

Yes, that’s the one. Stodgy, “respectable”, shitlib drivel.

I’ve followed the developing belt and road initiative and it works like this: China invests in various countries’ infrastructure to expand trade capacity. So far the only criticism the western media has leveled at it is that it is supposedly a debt trap. And the big evidence for that is Sri Lanka’s port. However, the majority of Sri Lankan debt is held by Western banks. The Chinese loan was not at a higher interest rate. Yet somehow, China is to blame? In what way do you consider the BRI to be a hegemonic project?
