CCS never showed any promise. Its main purpose hass been to be a “future technology” for rich people and politicians to point to as an excuse for why they’re not doing more right now.

Not reading, per se, but the video “I Emailed My Doctor 133 Times: The Crisis In the British Healthcare System” by Philosophy Tube comes to mind. Check out the sources if you’re looking specifically for reading

Guilty of doing this lol

silence troll

Remind us, o enlightened one - who is the vice president of the current administration?

all I have to say is

Makes you identify with assembly line workers, WOKE

If I wanted to soak in those kinds of narcissistic slapfights I’d call some biological family members

lool, very relatable. It is really tiring.

(not a game (game room))

In fact, if you want information to kill the police officers who are going to Haiti, I am sure we can help

My god, this goes so fucking hard

based in other European philosophies

It didn’t appear entirely in a European vacuum; there are no “purely European” ideas; Europe is a fake continent. Marx was at least in part inspired (invidious link) by the writings of anthropologists studying the legal systems of the indigenous nations of Turtle Island, who were (and are) being genocided by euros.

None because they all predate dialectical materialist philosophy

Please, this is such a eurocentric perspective

I’d recommend looking into the story of the making of The Great Law of Peace of the Hadenosaunee, which is itself part of the law:

(from Kayanerenko:wa The Great Law of Peace by Kayanesenh Paul Williams)

Upon first reading or hearing the Great Law, one could easily conclude that the story of how the Peacemaker brought people and nations together is a pleasant legend, but not law. As a legend, it includes entertaining stories of the hero making a magical stone canoe; tricking a cannibal into changing his evil ways; surviving a great fall from a tree into raging waters; devising enchanting songs; and confronting monsters and evil wizards. These do not seem to be the stuff of law. A North American lawyer looking for the Haudenosaunee constitution might conclude that the true lawmaking only began once the Peacemaker had gathered all the chiefs and clan mothers together in one place, and began to identify and create legislative authorities and structures. It would be easy to conclude this, but it would be wrong.

The Kayanerenko:wa is all law. Every part of it is law.

The story of how the Peacemaker brought the people together is not just a story. Certainly it is full of metaphors and lessons, but the story also contains many of the fundamental concepts and principles of the law. All great messages are taught by metaphor. Jesus, in his “Good Message” (which is what “Gospel” Means in Middle English), resorted to “parables.” Buddha told stories (and, as the Acoma Pueblo scholar Simon Ortiz said: “There are no truths, only stories”). Centuries later, history and metaphor become mixed. The message remains constant. Metaphor - the ability of human beings to think bridges between different concepts - is essential to visualising any legal system.

The meta-narrative of the Great Law provides the tone and spirit: the determination that the bloodshed must stop, and will stop.

So when rich people do this it’s called “innovative” and “disrupting the market”, but if you do it FBI busts down your door for being a criminal. Sounds like freedom to me jack

Great vid

From “Kayanerenko:wa, The Great Law of Peace”, by Kayanesenh Paul Williams:

As people who lived and travelled by rivers, the Haudenosaunee understood that the world flows; that time and space both flow; and that relationships also flow. […] Haudenosaunee languages are said to be made of verbs rather than nouns. This promotes understanding that things like “peace,” “fire,” and “treaty” are ongoing processes rather than objects or isolable events. (p. 2-5)

I do know what you mean in terms of the settler colony’s focus turning outwards to do its colonialism, but saying that it’s “over” does rub me the wrong way a little, because it minimises the ongoing struggle of indigenous people in Turtle Island. The US and Canada have diplomatic agreements with many indigenous nations “within” it’s territories, in which they recognise them as independent (not like you’d know about it from looking at google maps), only to continue to erase their culture and displace their peoples in the continuous and ongoing process of settler colonialism.

There is actually a world of difference between being a devoted zionist and a well meaning comrade spreading narratives that benefit the zionist entity.

This is so similar to the white fragility trope where someone talks about a systemic issue and a yt person gets defensive, because they recognise themselves in it and take it as if it’s a personal insult, because they actually identify with white supremacy on some level. And since zionism is white supremacy, this parallel isn’t surprising in the least.

Nobody called you a zionist. Way to steelman people’s legit discomfort with these “jokes”

This week’s (2024-08-28) Freedom Side on BreakThrough News

3:20:

Venezuela’s Supreme Court declared Nicolas Maduro the winner of the country’s recent presidential election, securing him a third term ending in 2031. However, it is doubtful that the ruling will put an end to claims of election fraud coming from the United States and the right-wing Venezuelan opposition. Zoe Alexandra, co-editor of People’s Dispatch, joins the Freedom Side Live to discuss what this ruling means and how the US and opposition groups may try to subvert it.

22:21:

Mexico froze relations with the US and Canadian embassies after ambassadors from the two countries criticized the Mexican President’s recent proposal for judicial reform. The reform, which has not yet passed, would elect judges and Supreme Court justices based on a popular vote. The US ambassador said the move would threaten Mexico’s democracy and the Canadian ambassador said the reform could threaten Canadian investments. Kurt Hackbarth, host of Soberanía: The Mexican Politics Podcast, joins the show to explain what this reform is really about and how it would change Mexico’s judicial system.

54:48:

The National Labor Relations Board has ruled that Amazon is a joint employer for the subcontracted drivers that deliver its packages in Palmdale, California. The decision forces Amazon to take more legal responsibility over the workers that it used to treat as independent contractors. AT&T workers have also gone on strike due to the company negotiating in bad faith with them. Husayn Karimi, a labor journalist with On the Line, joins the show to discuss some of the latest developments in the labor movement.

40:16: Follow up on the DNC with Rania and Eugene.

1:11:35:

Kamala Harris completely ignored Palestine solidarity activists at the DNC and expressed her full-throated support for Israel. Will this come back to bite her? Dr. Hassan Abdel Salam, Director of the Abandon Harris Campaign, speaks on how Gaza could potentially cost the Democrats the 2024 presidential election.

Dr. Hassan Abdel Salam speaks with such clarity and focus on what really matters in the upcoming election. I really recommend this section to anyone, but especially if you’re actually a person who’s able to vote in them, i.e. an amerikkkan.

1:29:22:
