This is actually some of the saddest shit I’ve seen
TikTok being shut down in Pakistan—one of Beijing’s closest allies—is bad news for ByteDance, whose investors worry that while the app could weather losing individual markets, the loss of multiple countries could be devastating.
To clarify, there are some Palestinians and Bedouins who were fortunate enough to not be expelled during the Nakba or 1967 war and were granted Israeli citizenship.
They have been closely spied on and monitored ever since though.

21. On Neoliberalism as a project of class power, not an ideological commitment to reducing the size of the state, and how neoliberal governments massively expand the police, the prison system, and the military.

1. The relationship between neoliberalism and the state is broadly misunderstood by the left, which consequences that I think are absolutely disastrous. Neoliberalism isn't about shrinking the state in any absolute sense, it's about class power.

^^ To clarify, I'm not telling y'all to vote for Biden, I just said that I did myself to dunk on Howie for repeating the same Green Party mistakes of associating with cranks and whackos.
Howie Hawkins himself seems like a nice guy, but I already cast my vote for Biden. Like, I was going to try really hard not to mention or brag about it, but I feel like I'm more on the right side of history than him at this current moment.

Not to mention that Republicans actually DID pack the state supreme courts in Arizona & Georgia in 2016 to cement radical-right control & tried to do the same thing in North Carolina in 2018 only for voters to reject it.
