A similar thing has happened with me. It's usually when there's a picture. When I scroll down the picture shrinks, takes up less space and the page slides upwards to fill in the space.
Does it happen more with threads where you've opened some screenshots, etc?
The article still manages to paint China as the bad guy and gets in a few shots at Russia. Look at this:
Beijing didn’t limit its global influence efforts to propaganda. It announced an ambitious COVID assistance program, which included sending masks, ventilators and its own vaccines – still being tested at the time – to struggling countries. In May 2020, Xi announced that the vaccine China was developing would be made available as a “global public good,” and would ensure “vaccine accessibility and affordability in developing countries.” Sinovac was the primary vaccine available in the Philippines for about a year until U.S.-made vaccines became more widely available there in early 2022.
Xi you sneaky mf. Propaganda of the deed with Chinese characteristics.
Fr, though, the US is run by truly, truly despicable people. The US could've chosen not to limit its global influence efforts to propaganda or straightforward coercion but instead it doubled down. Not content with murdering 1 million of it's own, it killed countless others in the shadows. For anyone wondering whether the US ruling class would rather destroy the planet with nukes than change it's ways or give up power, there's your answer.
That may have been true once but Boeing has cracked it: if you let compressed helium leak from a little hole, you get a whistle blown.
Fascinating stuff! Thanks for writing this out!
It's like a neon sign that reads, 'this ship launders tax.' sorry Ukraine, what's that, you need to privatise everything in a fire sale to fund the US' war? unfortunately this Ukrainian ship isn't really Ukrainian and it already pays it's taxes elsewhere so we can't help
Except to the people selling the ad space lol. That data is gold to them.
Capitalists taking us back to the barter system but they can't get it right because they don't understand the progression to MCM'. A generation of people bought up on Hollywood economics trying to put Hollywood economics into practice.
Like subscribe and save schemes but expanded? Makes sense.

You're in for rude aw—
They're looking for enemy agents. knowing their own agents thrive in wastewater, it's the obvious place to look.
This is beautiful

It's got to mature somewhere. The longer the trip, the more you can sell it for lol
It'll be funny when she cancels those foreign aid programs and then learns of the ROI when all the recipients decide, 'Well if they're not holding that aid over our heads, they lose their leverage and we have no choice but to pivot to BRICS.'
DPRK won it once, I believe.
Excellent answer.
A further point is that capitalism goes hand in hand with formal equality. Employers expect the same from everyone (except where employees unionise/organise and push back). One factory worker gets the same quota as another. That kind of thing. Employers accept the logic of capitalism being efficient without question. So there's no challenge against formal 'equality' or capitalist 'efficiency'. In reality both are a load of bollocks.
Communists have another slogan, from each according to their ability, to each according to their need. @olgas_husband@lemmygrad.ml when it comes to what organised workers or the revolution asks of you, the request/expectation will be very different to what (and how) an employer asks of you. Just because capitalists haven't yet employed you for mental labour, doesn't mean that you're not suited to it. The fact that you can't get a job in something doesn't mean you would be bad at it.
Other workers are also far more likely to understand the value and the need for training. If you would improve with physical/intellectual training/education, that can be arranged. That's one of the reasons unions and revolutionary parties emphasise education among their ranks.
Capitalists don't want to pay and won't pay if they can get someone else to do the job who is already trained. Organised workers/revolutionaries see the potential in all workers and will be willing to help you reach yours. You don't write someone off because they could be fitter or stronger, you ensure they have access to healthy food, clean water, adequate rest, and help them get fitter and stronger.
I have struggled many times to find work. It wasn't until I read Capital that I understood that it's not me; capitalism is just designed that way. It's not you, either!
This isn't my most coherent comment but hopefully you can see what I'm trying to say!
'Never interrupt your enemy when they make a mistake' includes when they bathe in pig shit expecting any other outcome than smelling of pig shit and the consequences therefrom.
