You wanna hear the most fun part of it all? The main star Wagner Moura, and the movie director, Jose Padilha, are both woke leftists. They made the movie to show how the police is evil and dangerous, they wanted people to antagonize the police upon watching the movie. What happened? The vast majority of the Brazilian public saw it, absolutely loved it, and cheered on the main character's actions. Captain Nascimento was supposed to be seen as the bad guy, people saw him as a hero.

Moura even whined afterwards about how Scandinavians would never see such a violent police officer as a hero. Then the sequel (Tropa de Elite 2) amped up the propaganda, bringing on leftists militants and politicians into the mix to make it clear that they wanted you to hate the police.

Speaking of Brazil, there is an awesome Brazilian movie I would recommend. One of the most anti-woke movie you could ever see. The reality of ruthless drug traffickers in flavelas, police corruption, leftist woke naive middle class naive Brazilian college students who do not understand how the world works brainwashed by their Marxist professors and listening to songs like "F..k the Police'. Two of those Brazilian kids doing social service in the flavelas get brutally killed by gangsters. This move could destroy dumb childish Wokes and leftards as it shows raw reality. BLM destroyer.

ELITE SQUAD (TROPA DE ELITE) Trailers
ELITE SQUAD (TROPA DE ELITE) is about BOPE, the elite police squads on Rio and it is an intense and astonishing look at Rio de Janeiro's notorious favelas, the volatile slums on the edge of the city. The film is set in 1997 and presents an intimate look at the city's vast and intricate web of corruption.

Drug trafficking militias have virtual control within the favelas while the police run their criminal enterprises outside. The elite BOPE force (State Police Special Operations Battalion) combats drug trafficking --keeping order has its price though and their actions make it difficult to distinguish right from wrong and justice from revenge.

BOPE Captain Nascimento (Wagner Moura) is facing a crisis: in addition to the pressures of fighting within war zones, the Captain must find and train his own replacement so he can escape the day to day violence and be close to his wife who is about to give birth to their first child.

Two of the force's newest recruits, Neto (Caio Junqueira) and Matias (André Ramiro), are childhood friends: one is quick on the trigger to maintain order and the other refuses to compromise his ideals. Together they are the perfect replacement. Alone they may not have what it takes to survive.

You might get the movie free on youtube with English subtitles.

Why would Russia, and countries in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, which all face severe demographic problems of declining population numbers, take up ineffective measures and promote vaccination if it kills people in numbers greater than what is statistically acceptable to fight a deadly disease like Covid-19? OK, I suppose you could say why did they allow this demographic problem to develop in the first place if they cared about their nations. But they all have professional health services and experts capable of investigating the Covid-19 problem without having to blindly follow orders from the WHO and the bosses of the NWO.

I find that the anti-vaxxers are not being balanced in their presentations and are focusing only on some of the most sensationalist and fear inducing aspects, often speculative. I'm neither satisfied with the way the official media and the government are propagating their views but if you listen to some of the official health experts they tend to present a more balanced exposition than the anti-vaxxers. I do appreciate dissidents like C.J. Hopkins, David Icke and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as I think it's important to always sound out warnings and try to prevent the drive towards totalitarian absolutism in society but I don't necessarily have to agree with all their views.

So if one is opposed to all these official impositions and the vaccines what should one do? Obviously spitting in the face or beating up those who wear masks or heckling people waiting for their vaccine shots is both rude and ineffective, as well as criminal. It is up to those who are actually in positions to do something about it to do so, the experts and government officials, or the people to rise in a massive tidal wave against them and replace them with some other ones who would perhaps be more truthful and responsible. Individuals complaining or insulting others on the Internet is not going to do it. If anything, these white anti-vaxxer dissidents should learn from those "more capable" people (he, he) such as the Nigerians and really mount an effective campaign that could resolve the issue to their satisfaction, based on a true and balanced exposition of all the scientific evidence.

The Polio Vaccine Boycott in Northern Nigeria

In northern Nigeria in 2003, the political and religious leaders of Kano, Zamfara, and Kaduna states brought the immunization campaign to a halt by calling on parents not to allow their children to be immunized. These leaders argued that the vaccine could be contaminated with anti-fertility agents (estradiol hormone), HIV, and cancerous agents...

In response to public outcry about the polio vaccine, the Nigerian federal government set up a technical committee on October 29, 2003 to assess the safety of the polio vaccine, sending samples of the vaccine for laboratory tests abroad. The committee's report, however, was rejected by the SCSN, which alleged that the Muslim community was not properly represented on the committee.

In response to this allegation, the federal government appointed another technical committee, which included selected members of the Muslim group Jama'atu Nasril Islam, to further reconfirm the safety of the vaccine. But the SCSN again rejected the nominees, asking for the inclusion of its own nominees...

This impasse was eventually resolved in July 2004 through dialogue, with religious leaders playing a significant role in the process. The federal government had invited political and religious leaders to a series of meetings in order to find a solution to the impasse. The WHO and UNICEF also played a role in breaking the deadlock. These meetings led to a consensus in February 2004 to accept the SCSN's demand to test the vaccine independently in a Muslim country.

Well, they make up numbers all the time and president Vučić is a pathological liar. I don't trust their data on anything, let alone with regards to the covid scamdemics. They recently came out with statistics of excess deaths since the start of the crisis and the number was greater than the number of those who officially died of covid. I sometimes have the impression that we exist in parallel realities.

The Serbian government could never impose the level of restrictions and measures as absurd as in France for instance for two reasons. The first is that the former Yugoslavia was a communist country and people in former communist countries look at what the government or the media say with a greater distance than people in the West. The second reason is the importance of the grey economy. It is harder for a state to coerce people to whom it provides very, very little.

Anyway, I just don't get how people in France have accepted something as absurd as wearing masks outdoors. That's something you'll see where I am only if the person has forgotten to take it off. Youngsters in shopping malls often don't wear them, I've been reprimanded only once in the bank for not wearing it over my nose, the mask and eyeglasses are incompatible, and shopkeepers remind people to put them because they fear steep fines, not the coronavirus. Though there are occasional haters who seem to have as sole purpose in life to make other people's lives miserable.

This is an interesting discussion in about the situation India is now in. In between Abhijit Iyer-Mitra (yellow T-shirt) and Abhinav Prakash (guy with glasses or spectacles)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG9kwII6XHQ
Vaccine Embargo by Biden Administration - Abhijit Iyer-Mitra on Urban Chatterati
Abhijit Iyer-Mitra and Abhinav Prakash from 0:40 minutes to 2:30 minutes discuss about how the Biden administration are deliberately sabotaging vaccine manufacturing in India. For the Novavax vaccine not the CoviShield being currently being produced. Thus India gets Sputnik from Russia. They are unintentionally by trying to screw India, are doing India a favour.
Abhinav Prakash: Biden administration seems worse than Trump.....
Abhijit Iyer-Mitra (2:49 minutes:) Trump did not behave very badly. If we (India) needed help, the help was usually sent.With Biden, with all his talk about globalism you know, we are all going to hold hands and sing Kumbaya. It is a good lesson for Indians who voted Democrat in America, secretly I am hoping that something happens to their family members as well in this particular wave. It says a lot about the complete cluelessness of most of the foreign policy commenteriat and the so called self proclaimed "responsible informed" commenteriat saying that Biden would better for globalism and all that. Which is proven to be absolute RUBBISH. Across the board. Because remember this isn't the first. The US Navy was conducting freedom of navigation operations for the last 10 years, India never really gave a damn. Why? Because our extended zones are intended specifically for China. They are not intended for harassment or bullying of everyone and anyone. And it is been done specifically because China is doing certain things so it is a kind of reciprocal threat that if you can do that, we can do that with the Malacca Straits and things like that. So, why did the US navy feel the need to announce it publicly after 10 years? It makes no sense. You are conducting freedom of navigation operations, you are not being challenged, why did you go and have to announce it often all of a sudden. And notice whichever countries that they named, South Korea, Maldives and India. You remember, I was telling you that this man's (Biden) son is so compromised to China, his (Biden's) actions will not directly help China, they will indirectly help China. So he has effectively put all American allies in the same plank as China!! ""You are really no different from China anymore." It is the same thing with vaccines now. Essentially what he is doing is he is saying "you may be an ally but America first". In which case, what is the point of being an ally? So.. that is perfectly fine. In this last 3 to 4 months, Biden has done damage, actual damage to the American alliance system what Trump was claimed to have done in the last four years. It is a valid statement, it is a statistically supported statement.
Abhinav Prakash (7:33 minutes): They are not helping anyone, it is not just India, they are not helping countries in their neighbourhood. What does it tell about America and its current administration? Vice pResident seems to be running the show!!
Abhijit Iyer-Mitra (7:51 minutes): Look, the Vice President maybe be running the show but even she is really a puppet. Biden is basically a walking cadaver, he has one foot in the coffin. we do not know if he is alive or dead and when he is going to die. Now that being the case, you have to understand it is a whole a very very powerful bunch of Democrat party interests running the Government and those Democrat party interests are further controlled by corporate interests...... It is a lot of corporate interests that seem to align at the same time. For example in case of CAATSA sanctions, Boeing and Lockheed Martin would be thinking, look this is one good way of ensuring we get more sales in India and kick the Russians out of the Indian market. It would be Pfizer telling their kept senators and their purchased Congressmen, if you do this they (India) would be forced to buy our vaccines at a certain price.....Never attribute to malice what you can to stupidity. When your president is basically a walking cadaver, Vice President (Kamala Harris) is so compromised to Corporate Interests and his son (Biden) is so compromised to foreign interests, we don't really know if the US Govt is being controlled. Look at the mess they have at their southern border. POLITICO actually had ban its staff to refer about the Southern border crisis, none of them are sending their reporters or even screaming at the fact that they are are not being allowed to send their reporters. Could you imagine this have happened under Trump?
Abhinav Prakash: (Laughing) No of course Not.
Abhijit Iyer-Mitra: So there you go

...

Abhinav Prakash (12:00 minutes) This brings to this hypocrisy of the people who pretend to be outraged at the misery of the people, this entire woke culture. What happened to the wokes in America? Why are they not on the streets and saying "Asian lives do matter". "You help the other countries. what happened to these people in NYT and Washington Post? Why is there no cover story that America is the greatest horder of live saving drugs in the world?
Abhijit Iyer-Mitra (12:28 minutes): (Smiling) Because it was never about principles. Look, all these so called revolutionary movements are always about some smart manipulator who is able to manipulate a whole bunch of zombies. Tell me one revolution which did not happen on the back of zombie. I do not mean movie style Zombies but using it figuratively. But that is what BLM, anti-fa and all these movements ARE. They are essentially low IQ stupid people, foot soldiers who are cynically manipulated....Leadership is screwing people and make them enjoy the process of getting screwed over.

The term "honkie" is an ebonic term originally coined in negro parlance for the term "Hunkie." A Hunkie was a person of Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, Macedonian, or Hungarian birth who fled Europe before WW I - having no interest in being run by the (Germanic) Austro-Hungarian Empire which treated these people like serfs. That's how the Archduke Ferdie got killed. Once here, these immigrants even referred to themselves as "Hunkies."

Like most other people in early to mid 20th century America, Hunkies tended to congregate in their own part of the city. Later in the century, coloreds began to mix in with Hunkies and eventually, as the familiar white people to the local coloreds, they acquired the term "Honkie" simply meaning "white person." This, term btw, began on the lower east side of Detroit. I am unaware of any other place in the country where Hunkies and coloreds mixed.

So why can't they create functional societies of their own so they don't have to move anywhere else? Surely it can't be that difficult to do, to copy something from elsewhere that they find attractive. Maybe there are HDB reasons for why those countries are the way they are but also imperialism wants them that way to exploit them better. It could be a bit of both. I'm not convinced that copying the West would be progress, but since most others seem to think so, even in the Third World, and even enough to want to move to it, what's stopping them from creating a copy of it themselves? At least a good enough copy to keep them there.

Do you really believe the vaccines are against covid-19? Most people who died from the disease were over eighty. For 99.99% of younger people, the disease is milder than the flu. You don't vaccinate people over eighty, unless you want to hasten their deaths. The benefit of vaccinating younger people is zero for them and zero for the elderly as it doesn't prevent the vaccinated from infecting the non-vaccinated. So, what are the vaccines for?

The only conspiracy with regards to covid is the conspiracy to stay in power. You overlook one crucial fact: TPTB are shit-scared of the people. They are shit-scared because they have aroused the people and pulled off revolutions on pretexts that seem trivial compared to their deeds since. They are shit-scared that someone might make people realise it and arouse them again, this time against genuine evil. Because they know that what they do is by any standard set by humanity since the dawn of civilisation truly, genuinely evil. So they regard clinging to power as a means of survival. For that, they constantly provide people with reasons to fight each other. If they stop, the people might turn against them.

Last, with regards to Serbia, a lot of people have taken the Chinese and Russian jabs. The rest are vaccine-skeptics. A few local celebs have been appointed to promote Pfizer's concoction but very few heeded their advice. The situation is so dire that a doctors' association has appealed on the government to silence skeptics by banning them from the media and initiating criminal charges against them, while Serbia's president Vučić has offered ~30€ to every vaccinated citizen over 16, has threatened civil servants with unpaid sick leave if they didn't show the example and has threatened the rest of us with indefinite lock-up. So far, the majority remain unswayed.

In any case your Koch/Ukraine analogy is all wet and has no relation with the Hindu/British Empire case. Many Nazis were sympathetic to Ukrainians in their desire to break away from the Stalin regime and they warmed to the possibility of creating some client State right there that would be a precious ally in their fight against the USSR. They even integrated many Ukrainians in their military forces. Fact is, Ukrainians were pretty happy under Nazi control because they got from the Nazis the respect they wanted from people they thought were their racial kin. But Hitler crushed all these attempts at making Ukrainians feel welcome as part of the Reich because he couldn't get over his own racism against Slaves. Quite different from the traditional attitude of the British towards the Hindus and all other dark skinned races. The worst of all their own boss Winston Churchill who referred once to Hinduism as a beastly religion for beastly people and who refused to send food aid to India when they were suffering a crippling famine and who explained himself "sort of", arguing that they wouldn't be having that kind of problem if they didn't breed like rabbits. Hindus fighting for the Empire never got from the British the respect and recognition they probably deserved, and even less the general population, they were always treated with utter contempt. And so the rest of the dark skinned colonials. Even the much vaunted for their bravery gurkas fighting in the Falklands in 1982 were abandoned later as war vets. On the other hand, many of those fighting with the Nazis in Europe during WW2 felt they were being treated as brothers in arms and respected as such by the Germans. That is why your analogy is confusing.

Just go to the 1930 US Census (and Detroit is a good place) to illustrate how WASP's (God-fearing, church-attending as they were), had a dislike of Hunkies (that's "Hunkies" - not "Honkies"). The police and fire crews were well paid - almost as much as engineers - and all had WASP names; even on the lower east side which housed numerous Hunkies. The teachers in public schools were all WASP too - and very socialist, btw, and nudged Hunky kids out of school by 8th grade any which way they could. It's important to recall, that Hunkies and WASPs looked alike - but the surnames of WASPs were their free access to high school, and those civil service jobs. Have a concerned mother speaking broken English go to your school to inquire about her kid's report card? You'd be run out of there in a year, one way or another.

In the 1920's, Hunkies were the Mexicans du jour. Same went with Poles and Greeks. Poles poor as they were, sent their kids to parochial school if they could, just to get them into/through high school - an almost impossible feat in the public schools. My parents only alluded to what exactly was going on - but never placed blame.

My point about Max Stirner was larger. Not that Marx borrowed some ideas from Stirner. But that Stirner had a larger, more profound vision about the evolution of societies, in which Marx's vision and his historical materialism become just a partial, incomplete understanding.

So I thought that if you like Marx's visions, you gonna love Stirner's vision. But Stirner's ideology is a harsh mistress, so beware. Btw, there are no surviving images of Stirner, like those for Che Guevara and the other commies you mention, there is just a drawing made by Engels.

I didn't distinguish between political and ideological Marxism because I was just giving a general overview on the subject, meant above all for those who may know little or nothing about it and who would have been confused by its subtleties. I know by experience than when you introduce new people to any subject you have to provide just the basics so my way to put it I think was the most appropriate: Scientific Marxism is the best theoretical tool to explain us how we have come to this point in Human History, why society is the way it is and works the way it works. That is the Marxism which is alive and well. Most of us, if not all, are Marxists in that regard, scientific Marxists, Political Marxism is the practical tool, or the way of doing things, of those who want to change society for what they think will be the better, the common good, through their active participation in public life, in political activism, in elections, even in social revolutions. Ideological Marxism would be the bridge between both and, given Human nature, it is no surprising that, as the result of this, from SM to PM, Marxism usually branches out in many different tendencies as we witnessed during the revolutions of the post war period: Castrism, Guevarism, Maoism, Stalinism, Trostkysm and so on.

So you are right when you say that Ideological Marxism in not scientific. How could it be, if it is the way different people interpret, not so much SM, but how they should act, what they should do, to apply it in their own particular neck of the woods, in their own society, among their own people with their own identity and their own culture? No one argues that Cuba, Venezuela or Nicaragua are very different countries from, say, North Korea or China, so their own Socialist (or Communist, for those who love the word) systems have to be different. That is why Marxist ideology can't be scientific, because it is the theoretical tool used to bridge the gap between SM and PM, i.e. to bring Marxism to the real world and make it work among people. I still remember some militants of the 60s and 70s commenting with amusement that, as the Chinese had been accustomed for millennia to have an Emperor and to blindly obeying to him, all Mao had to do was to proclaim himself their new Emperor, a Red Emperor, to assume and keep tight control of the hundreds of millions of them.

Also, you use Newton's Laws of Motion all the time, when you are awake and working or walking the streets and even when you are sleeping in bed (you roll over when your body is pressing an arm too hard, that is gravity at work). Does that make you a Newtonian...? You are using Microsoft, does that make you a Gatesist...? So, when I say that we are all Marxists, that is simply my way to emphasize how wrong are those who babble about Marxism being dead and forgotten, my way to say to them, You are using Marxism right now, when you are pondering if you will be able to pay your bills for this month..! So the point about WS being Marxist or not, is moot, they use like the rest of us, period.

As for this chap, Johan Kaspar Schmidt, this is the first time I hear of him--even if Mark Stirner rings a very distant bell. In any case, i remember having seen the images of Che Guevara (above all), Fidel Castro, Ho Chi Mihn, Karl Marx, Frederic Engels, Lenin and other revolutionary many, many times in my life, live and in pictures and videos, of all kinds of demonstrations and public acts but I have never seen that of Mark Stirner by any chance. This is not to demean him but simply to point out that it doesn't matter how right or accurate you may have been if nobody comes to know about you. Marx probably stole ideas from him, but that wouldn't make of Marx an exception but just another example of the general rule.

In your comment 278 you didn't distinguish between ideological and political Marxism, you just said we are all Marxists, Marxism is alive, Wall Street practices Marxism, etc.

Ok, so now you say that ideological Marxism is alive and kicking while political Marxism had come short of accomplishments after over a century of trying.

Regarding ideological Marxism, first, it is certainly not scientific (as in a scientific discipline) but it could be interpreted as a scientific hypothesis about the evolution of human societies. There is some merit in the analysis of history by Marx. I guess I could admit that he saw a significant part of the social dynamics by highlighting the importance of the appropriation of the surplus from productive activities. He saw something that was happening and he argued that that something was determinant: the appropriation of the surplus. Wall Street actually seeks to appropriate all the surpluses it can lands her hands on. Does that make Wall Street Marxist? Answering yes is a logical error. The fact that Marx highlighted the importance of surplus appropriation does not make Marxists of those that during all of history have been appropriating the surpluses.

From that time, the times of Marx and the Young Hegelians, of all the freien meeting at Hippel's wineshop in Berlin, the one that saw deeper, much deeper than Marx and Engels, the one that had a vision se profound that it contained Marx's vision as a particular case and as partial understanding, as well as those of the liberals and social democrats, was Johan Kaspar Schmidt, whose penname was Max Stirner. After reading Stirner's book, Marx reacted strongly and adapted his theories but Marx also was shocked by noting that Stirner's view was much deeper than his own so in The German Ideology he and Engels often resorts to cheap shots, ad hominem and plain insults instead of reasoned arguments.

Regarding political Marxism, the success of the CCP, raising hundred of millions from poverty in China, and the industrilization of the Soviet Union and her success in several highly technical areas, means that Marxists can really achieve great things when they are not fanatical orcs.

Yes you are right that class struggle is happening, it is happening all the time, it happens when anybody takes a job and accepts a salary thus giving away the surplus to the owner. What I meant is that class struggle is not currently having much impact on the evolution of societies. There are no class-struggle motivated revolutions, at least no capitalist country seems to be headed in that direction.

Financial capitalism uses Marxism in order to push for further global integration,

Wow, I finally found someone who said it. I have always been astounded at the incredible naivete and ignorance of those self-professed anti-Communists who keep babbling about Marxism being dead, about Marxism being wrong, about Marxism being a wacky and unrealistic theory which has no place in the modern world anyway. blah, blah, blah and I have felt at the time the impulse to tell them the truth, but then I sigh and just say to myself, why, why waste my time with people who don't know their own backside from their elbow. But anyway, what I would say to them is: Fools! Marxism is more alive than ever! In fact Marxism is the most popular economic doctrine at this day and age, In fact Wall Street is the most important user of Marxism! We are all Marxists! And then I would explain to them that the main and crucial contribution of Karl Marx to mankind is the idea, or the realization, that the basis for the entire human society is the economy, the goods and services Man produces and provides to others to make possible the existence of such society. And even more important, the way he produces them. That is what Marx himself called the infrastructure, upon it everything else., politics, religion, culture in general, rests, everything. Because see, until then. the mid-1840s, philosophers of History (which he appropriately denounced as nothing more than propagandists of the established order ("The dominant ideology is the ideology of the dominant class, the elite") attributed Historic facts to every possible cause they could imagine, specially wars and revolutions ("This war here happened because King Bob hated Queen Mafalda", "This other war happened because some prince from A kidnapped some chick from kingdom B", etc) But then came Marx and said, like the Clinton campaign of 1992, "No, no, no! It's all about the economy stupids!" He proceeded them to savage and ridiculed them in his little book titled The Misery of Philosophy one which everyone should read just to enjoy the humor in it. At one point for example he ridicules the "rebels", the self declared opposition of his time, the fake dissenters who we use to call nowadays controlled opposition (are you listening, Alex Jones...?) which he said think of themselves as raging wolves roaring and terrorizing with their roars the tenants of the establishment when in fact they are nothing more than docile sheep bleating hopelessly, huddled at the center of the enclosure where their masters keep them captives. In any case, to wrap up, some may love Marxism, some may hate it, but no matter their position on it, like gravity and cellphones, everyone has to use it.

I disagree. And I was born and grew up within the culture that uses it every day. Gringo, as used by Latinos in general, has a double meaning, depending... Depending on what...? Depending of the context. It is like the collective term used by Chileans (and others) to refer to themselves, the Roto Chileno. When Chileans praise the courage and bravery of their own ancestors during past wars with their neighbors, or to their own resilience during the natural disasters so common in the country, they refer to their collective as the Roto Chileno. But at the same time Roto is used, specially by the elite and the middle class, to refer to the lower strata of society, the poor and the wretched. It is also a qualifier and a noon to refer to the lack of manners and education of someone (Don't fart while at the table, Don't be roto, or a roto). Also, many Peruvians who are still hurting for their defeat in the War of 1879-84 call Chileans in general Rotos probably ignoring that in the context of their comments the word comes out like flattery. As Roto, Gringo isn't in any way a term like spic, which is spiteful and hateful in ANY possible occasion. To me personally Gringo is anyone who was born in the U.S, and has English as his first language...and has the looks of it.

Btw, there are two African heads-of-state (not old) who publicly resisted the pressure to conform to Covid policies and they are now dead. Many other countries buckled because the World Economic Forum or World Bank put the financial screws to them or incentivized them mightily with big loans at tiny rates. In other words, they were coerced. It's not as hard to execute something like this as you may think if the elites are willing to use mafia tactics and they are willing.

In the USA, the policy contrasts are shockingly stark between states with Democrat Governors versus Republican Governors. You can't believe how obvious it is that Dem Governors are taking orders from elsewhere, outside their states!

A three-way culture skirmish has broken out in Brazil over a largescale piece of land art in the state of Pernambuco. Juliana Notari’s installation, Diva (2020), takes the form of a vulva, excavated from the earth.

Supporters of Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s far-right president, were first to take exception. Others complained about the use of public money in creating the work, which was commissioned for the Usina de Arte botanical gardens with the Museu de Arte Moderna Aloisio Magalhães.

Bolsonaro has repeatedly attacked the arts and threatened cultural funding budgets. During his election campaign he railed against ‘big-time artists’ who he claimed were getting rich off public money.

The piece of land art, unveiled last week, was carved into a former sugar cane field, and covered with painted resin in reddish tones. The artist explained that she wanted it to represent both the female anatomy and a wound by way of a feminist comment.

You are both right and wrong at the same time because you are referring to two different things as if there were just one: Scientific Marxism and Political Marxism. Only understanding this dichotomy you may get the whole idea. Scientific Marxism, a.k.a. Historic Materialism, is basically what I was referring to. To achieve it, Marx (and Engels) took apart the History of Civilization and analyzed the whole of it with a cold, dispassionate eye, trying to determine what was behind the events that had created this civilization, what had been the forces of change and evolution, and which had finally brought it to the industrial age. So they (rightly) concluded that it was something as simple as survival, the procurement of the basics to carry on living that all human need, and so society as a whole. That at first (Food, shelter and clothing) and for that primitive humans had to gather and cooperate and form a society (tribe, clan). Then, when some amount of surplus was produced there was always someone to appropriate it and use it to exert some kind of control over the rest of the crowd. That was what gave origin to an elite, to social classes and finally to class struggle. That is basically Marxism as a scientific doctrine, which has become generally accepted by everyone, a doctrine we know as Historic Materialism. Marx could have stopped at that but I guess he couldn’t help, he felt he had to “provide a solution, a way out” for all the troubles Man had found on his way to the industrial age, even more when he was personally witnessing the suffering of the lower classes, the nascent proletariat, and the greed and indifference of the upper crust of society, the Capitalist class. That is when, as a follow up, he took the task of turning this same knowledge of History into a political tool, a theory and an ideology for change. As a natural (for him) conclusion to his monumental work he proposed that there had to be a social and political revolution in which the nascent proletariat, the newly born class brought about by industrialization, should take power and then confiscate the means of production from the Capitalists so they would go on producing goods, and a profit, for the benefit of the whole of society and not just for the elite. That is basically Political Marxism, which as you point out, has shown to come up rather short of results more than a century and a half later. (Even if I would chalk up Communist China as the single most relevant success of Political Marxism, maybe the one which will be the historical game changer after all).

In any case, you are deadly wrong when stating that “class struggle” is not happening. That is as wrong as saying that gravity or the Internet are not happening. Just look around you and tell me again that Class Struggle is not happening. What is really happening is that in this struggle the working classes have been taking a bad beating for decades already, especially in the so-called West.

I may again have lacked clarity. I don't say that every story of a conspiracy is loony, I say that the looniest conspiracy theories may actually be created by conspirators to discredit all those who doubt official versions. I certainly believe that a conspiracy is behind 9/11.

Regarding Serbia and Serbs in general, Americans have served us at least five false flags to justify sanctions and military aggression, four during the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina - including one at the very start of the war in which mostly Serbs waiting in line for bread were massacred and were presented as muslims killed by Serbs - and one to launch the war for Kosovo. They even tried to engineer a sixth during that war, a massacre of Albanian refugees in Kukesh, Albania, by the Serb aviation, with Christiane Amanpour and CNN cameras ready to report on it but we learnt of it in advance and accumulated evidence before it could happen. So I have no doubt about the methods the American "deep state" to keep the sheeple obedient and to advance the interests of the Jewish lobby and of what CJ Hopkins calls the GloboCorp.

Now, with regards to the coronavirus, I don't know in what lab it's been created, heck, I don't know if it even exists as to this day, it hasn't been officially isolated, it may be a bioweapon but its effects are too random and bioweapons unlike chemical weapons usually have antidotes before they're unleashed - they're not shoot-and-forget, they can return as boomerangs and hit you if you're unprepared -, and it does reek a "mad scientist" scent.

However, I believe governments weren't in any conspiracy when the whole thing started, as they were genuinely taken aback by the crisis unfolding and had totally out of synch, contradictory reactions. They simply didn't know what to do. Maybe some evil mind did indeed plan the whole thing but I don't think it was Schwab or Gates as they simply don't have the intellectual capacity to pull off something that complex and I don't think Trump or Macron or Johnson knew of the plan. I did say in a comment on this site a year ago that the whole thing resembled a giant psy-op but that psy-op wasn't necessarily the result of a conspiracy. It may well have been that TPTB simply jumped on the opportunity to tighten their grip on society. It may well be that as they have shown time and again, they are incapable to predict let alone deal with the consequences of their actions and that Big Pharma saw that they had no idea how to escape from the trap into which they've put themselves and seized the opportunity to sell whatever concoction they come up with as a ticket out of the crisis.

I think we often credit TPTB with way more intellectual capacity than they actually have. To paraphrase Bush the Lesser, let's not "misoverestimate" them. The Covid crisis was far too complex with far too random possibilities of evolution for them to have planned it whole in advance.

Now, if people tell you that mad scientists are great and that you are criminal because you doubt them, what can you do?

Regarding the shifting narratives, suspects change their stories when they become suspect and start being afraid of getting caught. Governments changed their stories before anyone suspected them of anything. At first they said that it was ridiculous to consider there was any threat to public health, then as the dead started piling up in nursing homes, imho because of deplorable treatment rather than because of the virus itself, they exaggerated the threat. Then, out of fear that there actually could be effective treatments using HCQ or ivermectin that could cure patients, they started fearing that their successive reactions could betray their incompetence, they forbade their prescription, so that the epidemics could continue, knowing that it wasn't as life-threatening as they pretended. While they looked for a face-saving way out, the dead elders and the occasional more fragile younger victim would come handy to support fearmongering.

Then, a miracle happens, Big Pharma concocts jabs to stop a virus that is anyway in its death throes. Now they need people to get vaccinated because they cannot declare the end of the pandemics without mass vaccination because it would be an admission that Sweden or Belarus were right from the beginning. No, the only way this can end without them being proven to be criminally incompetent morons is that everybody gets injected.

In short, they didn't conspire, they just happen to be idiots and their "control freaks" side comes from their fear of people eventually noticing.

My take on loony conspiracy theories is that they are created on purpose, to discredit all critics of current policies by labelling them as nutty conspiracists.

As for your understanding of vaccines, mine is the same as yours, for jabs based on the pathogen that causes the disease. None of the anti-covid jabs are based on the alleged pathogen, so we don't really know. Though logically, vaccinated people should be quarantined for the time needed by their organisms to produce the right antibodies.

Now, with regards to the whole Covid crisis, imho, there's no real conspiracy behind it. Conspiracies usually don't have shifting narratives; they usually have one to which the conspirators stick, even when it becomes obvious that it just doesn't hold water, as for instance 9/11.

No, Covid is more a crisis created out of opportunity that evolved how it evolved simply because Western elites are made of vain, greedy morons and because common sense has been replaced by magical thinking. To answer why countries adopted identical and equally inefficient measures to tackle the crisis, ask yourself what do dunces in a classroom do when given a test with a problem that they are unable to solve. They copy from the kid next to them, in their minds it's better than to hand a blank sheet to the teacher.

Out of opportunism, guided by magical thinking rather than common sense, governments created a situation without issue for themselves and that in turn created an opportunity for Big Pharma. There is nothing more to the story.

As for Bill Gates's role, did he create MS-DOS and Windows or did he appropriate somebody else's work and renamed it? There is no doubt that the guy is rapacious but do you really think him of elaborating such a conspiracy?

"Conspiracies usually don’t have shifting narratives; they usually have one to which the conspirators stick, even when it becomes obvious that it just doesn’t hold water, as for instance 9/11."

I don't know if this is really true. Maybe it is in politics.

The police, etc. investigate conspiracies all the time. Interviewing/interrogating suspected participants often leads to subjects changing their stories, shifting their viewpoints, and 'clarifying' earlier statements.

Politicans, etc. are more likely to hold the party line, though, however suspect, maybe as they are often in league with the more important investigators.

CNN could end the lockdowns themselves, more than any government could. They have chosen not to.

I don't really know how much the 'narrative' of Covid-19 has really shifted. The demands made upon us have, but the grand claim that this is a 'horrible civilization-threatening plague that the world must take unprecedented measures to mitigate' has not changed, even when TPTB deny parts of the story.

Various goalpost-moving statements have been tactical, as pursuasion is often by degrees and is a process, rather than an event. But all of it has reference to the above implanted idea.

So the guy is an Hindu after all. It figures. After haring crossed paths with many of them in Montreal, Canada,where they form a sizable community, I have come to the conclusion that they see their abandonment by the British in 1948 as one of the greatest tragedies in their History and that they are still longing for the return of the Raj. Mahatma Gandhi was a fake, just as Nelson Mandela. He never meant true Independence for India, just a cosmetic one but the Brits misinterpreted him and they just left. And they are still crying for it. Just look at how envious they are they of the Chinese, who have become after all a truly independent nation and the world superpower they will never be, and how easy is for the Anglo Saxons to make them do their dirty job in that neck of the woods, specially against China and Pakistan.

My take on loony conspiracy theories is that they are created on purpose, to discredit all critics of current policies by labelling them as nutty conspiracists.

As for your understanding of vaccines, mine is the same as yours, for jabs based on the pathogen that causes the disease. None of the anti-covid jabs are based on the alleged pathogen, so we don't really know. Though logically, vaccinated people should be quarantined for the time needed by their organisms to produce the right antibodies.

Now, with regards to the whole Covid crisis, imho, there's no real conspiracy behind it. Conspiracies usually don't have shifting narratives; they usually have one to which the conspirators stick, even when it becomes obvious that it just doesn't hold water, as for instance 9/11.

No, Covid is more a crisis created out of opportunity that evolved how it evolved simply because Western elites are made of vain, greedy morons and because common sense has been replaced by magical thinking. To answer why countries adopted identical and equally inefficient measures to tackle the crisis, ask yourself what do dunces in a classroom do when given a test with a problem that they are unable to solve. They copy from the kid next to them, in their minds it's better than to hand a blank sheet to the teacher.

Out of opportunism, guided by magical thinking rather than common sense, governments created a situation without issue for themselves and that in turn created an opportunity for Big Pharma. There is nothing more to the story.

Financial capitalism uses Marxism in order to push for further global integration,

Wow, I finally found someone who said it. I have always been astounded at the incredible naivete and ignorance of those self-professed anti-Communists who keep babbling about Marxism being dead, about Marxism being wrong, about Marxism being a wacky and unrealistic theory which has no place in the modern world anyway. blah, blah, blah and I have felt at the time the impulse to tell them the truth, but then I sigh and just say to myself, why, why waste my time with people who don't know their own backside from their elbow. But anyway, what I would say to them is: Fools! Marxism is more alive than ever! In fact Marxism is the most popular economic doctrine at this day and age, In fact Wall Street is the most important user of Marxism! We are all Marxists! And then I would explain to them that the main and crucial contribution of Karl Marx to mankind is the idea, or the realization, that the basis for the entire human society is the economy, the goods and services Man produces and provides to others to make possible the existence of such society. And even more important, the way he produces them. That is what Marx himself called the infrastructure, upon it everything else., politics, religion, culture in general, rests, everything. Because see, until then. the mid-1840s, philosophers of History (which he appropriately denounced as nothing more than propagandists of the established order ("The dominant ideology is the ideology of the dominant class, the elite") attributed Historic facts to every possible cause they could imagine, specially wars and revolutions ("This war here happened because King Bob hated Queen Mafalda", "This other war happened because some prince from A kidnapped some chick from kingdom B", etc) But then came Marx and said, like the Clinton campaign of 1992, "No, no, no! It's all about the economy stupids!" He proceeded them to savage and ridiculed them in his little book titled The Misery of Philosophy one which everyone should read just to enjoy the humor in it. At one point for example he ridicules the "rebels", the self declared opposition of his time, the fake dissenters who we use to call nowadays controlled opposition (are you listening, Alex Jones...?) which he said think of themselves as raging wolves roaring and terrorizing with their roars the tenants of the establishment when in fact they are nothing more than docile sheep bleating hopelessly, huddled at the center of the enclosure where their masters keep them captives. In any case, to wrap up, some may love Marxism, some may hate it, but no matter their position on it, like gravity and cellphones, everyone has to use it.

Chile is in no way like Mexico or Peru, or Brazil, or Cuba when it comes to tourism. I have no numbers but I trust most of the tourism in Chile is local, Chileans going from one place to another. Chile has no Teotihuacan or Macchu Pichu, no Corcovado or el Cuzco so there is no much for the foreigner to come see in the country itself. In fact the two most frequented places I know of which attract foreign tourism are far, far away from the center itself: Easter Island, 4000 kms, from the continent, and the Towers of Payne, in the very south and foreigners who come to Chile come most of the time specifically to visit them. The Atacama desert could be the third place too. So I guess a gringo boycott to Chile in this regard won't make much of a difference.

I would encourage you to remove the words loony and theory (those two words evidence MSM programming, btw) and do some deep dive research on conspiracies.

Serbia may not have many going on but I can you assure that America is overloaded with them! Locally, regionally and at the nation level it is epidemic.

This provides a worthy start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag

Meanwhile, you're entitled to believe as you like about Covid. I maintain that it is an engineered bioweapon and, indeed, a global false flag operation.

Speaking of Brazil, there is an awesome Brazilian movie I would recommend. One of the most anti-woke movie you could ever see. The reality of ruthless drug traffickers in flavelas, police corruption, leftist woke naive middle class naive Brazilian college students who do not understand how the world works brainwashed by their Marxist professors and listening to songs like "F..k the Police'. Two of those Brazilian kids doing social service in the flavelas get brutally killed by gangsters. This move could destroy dumb childish Wokes and leftards as it shows raw reality. BLM destroyer.

ELITE SQUAD (TROPA DE ELITE) Trailers
ELITE SQUAD (TROPA DE ELITE) is about BOPE, the elite police squads on Rio and it is an intense and astonishing look at Rio de Janeiro's notorious favelas, the volatile slums on the edge of the city. The film is set in 1997 and presents an intimate look at the city's vast and intricate web of corruption.

Drug trafficking militias have virtual control within the favelas while the police run their criminal enterprises outside. The elite BOPE force (State Police Special Operations Battalion) combats drug trafficking --keeping order has its price though and their actions make it difficult to distinguish right from wrong and justice from revenge.

BOPE Captain Nascimento (Wagner Moura) is facing a crisis: in addition to the pressures of fighting within war zones, the Captain must find and train his own replacement so he can escape the day to day violence and be close to his wife who is about to give birth to their first child.

Two of the force's newest recruits, Neto (Caio Junqueira) and Matias (André Ramiro), are childhood friends: one is quick on the trigger to maintain order and the other refuses to compromise his ideals. Together they are the perfect replacement. Alone they may not have what it takes to survive.

You might get the movie free on youtube with English subtitles.
