"The leader of a group of Myanmar politicians ousted by a military coup has vowed to press on with a "revolution" against the authorities" - why not?

it's making a statement

with the track

Why can't the protesters be armed? Better than them being butchered on the streets like they are right now

@Noble Dust @Jack Cummins agree?

once it becomes the leading economic superpower? — Shawn

Don't spread this shite.

I've heard that a lot online, do you have any sources that confirm Min Aung Hlaing's connection to the CCP?

@jamalrob according to the Conflicted podcast this is a good thing:

"The US has carried out an air strike targeting Iran-backed militias in Syria, in the first military action undertaken by the Biden administration."

I guess so

Do we actually have a follow function here? — Sir2u

Yeah, I have 3 followers. Would've thought I'd have more (compared to @Noble Dust) based on my superior music choices

enabling the rise of the leaders.

blame @jamalrob for enabling that.

But I don't think it's a bad thing, it's the same as reading certain philosophers over others.

These guys had none of that stuff to work with. — Sir2u

Yes and the use of actual instruments makes the music sound more 'raw' - in a good way.

Listening to another version. Pretty good. Looks like they were big in Japan (not in the pejorative sense)

@Noble Dust agree?

'Anti-vaccination protesters have gathered across Australia ahead of the launch of the country's coronavirus inoculation programme.'

@jamalrob @csalisbury thoughts?

What is the time of shapes? Like when did specific shapes come into existence?

I believe that it has been thrown away, into the rubbish bin of philosophy ideas, just when we need it more than ever. — Jack Cummins

By the CCP and putin it has, yes.

how can trump still have so much influence?

"The CCP has banned BBC World News from broadcasting on its territory, according to a decision announced on Thursday by its broadcasting regulator."

Continued destruction of words from the CCP.

Michael was removed — Benkei

You banned @Michael??? Infighting in putin's cortege?

hopefully they make an example of him to dissuade any other would-be authoritarian shitbags.

This is true and also a factor in Europe's struggles. As was the initial cover up in China due to the CCP's corrupt system of governance plus the WHO's subsequent confusing and contradictory advice.

Didn't Aus and NZ have a bit of an advantage in that they're 'a bit out of the way' and not as much of an international travel hub compared to Europe? Their use of lockdowns has been impressive but they've been afforded by such an advantage.

If you are Bart Simpson, yes.
