How does it feel to inherit all the clueless and ahistorical talking points of every war criminal since NATO's intentional killing of 25% of Korea's population
The organization that proudly invented the shock doctrine as official policy for collective punishment through starvation and mass murdering through death squads in order to leave the remaining population too traumatized to socialize and decolonize.
Bleach demons will literally look at the mass terror killings from Korea 1950 to Gaza 2024 and still insist NATO is "peaceful" rather than a genocidal international colonial police.
I hope so but it feels like things have been changing, some of the other stores here have uniformed police in SWAT gear guarding baby formula full-tine because people could legally walk away from 'loss prevention' employees but can't legally walk away from pigs
Thank you, I ended up bringing the items back to the store and paid for them quietly (with my store points lol). I photographed both receipts and filed them away in case I ever need them

Forgot to scan some milk cartons in my bag when I paid for my the rest of my groceries, they were like 1/4 of the grocery order. I'm in an overpoliced area, paid with my credit card and my points card both in my name, cashier didn't say anything
My roommate said I already probably looked suspicious bc I wear a mask, hat and sunglasses
I thought I heard "___vention line 1" (my lane? unrelated phone line?) as I was walking out, nobody stopped me or said anything
I thought about going back or calling but I am worried it would just make things worse
Am I going to be confronted if I go back? Should I be worried? Did they probably photograph me?
Not only will radio antennas shock you (or the inanimate object you touch it with), the electricity arcs and sizzling will make the sounds of the frequency the antenna is broadcasting
I see the critiques of the new China policy on mandatory worker representation and participation but I don't see how it isn't a massive step forward for the country
It feels like a massive gift to union organizers, mandating the assembly of all employees in small companies and elected representatives for larger companies. Beginning the precedent of employee organizations being able to hire and fire managers and leadership, having full access to financial data and large decisions ahead of time etc
Especially for smaller companies like startups it seems like having an assembly with every employee, being able to see each other's wages, etc would be a significant kick start to union organizing and strike actions
The Party is already squeezing these companies at the top with party representatives, financial controls, liquidating the real estate sector to reinvest in industry (a move which by itself would give labor significant leverage), 90%+ home ownership. Even if the employee assembly policy can be criticized for incrementalism I don't know how that critique stands against the backdrop of everything else that is shifting.
The biggest concern on the English speaking left has been that Dengist China would simply continue doing what worked under Deng, and yet Evergrande wasn't bailed out and Chinese real estate speculation was left to run its natural course (crisis, collapse, nationalization?). The direction seems very divergent to me after China experienced its own 2008 crisis.
Growing state control of corporate boards, 90% home ownership rates, reinvestment from finance to industry, and now a massive kickstart to employee assemblies. Even just getting every non-manager into the same room/mailing list. Worker organization should be a natural consequence of these conditions, and they should be more organically viable for now than if they were quickly imposed from the top-down.
