Ahh yes… We should take an uncited shit post from a transphobe and imperial apologist who advocated for regime change in Venezuela (Badempanda) as the word of truth.
Im sure he is more credible than Michael Prysner who is a founding member of the fuckin PSL…
It would be great to get a real source. But him being part of PSL doesn’t prove shit.
And neither does the hearsay that op posted…
What it does is lend to the argument that he is a staunch anti imperialist.
Which I acknowledged but then you go and do the same thing by trying to erect some kind of tribal defense. It’s all quite silly.
If you left out the last sentence I would have upvoted you and moved along but instead we’re arguing…
I personally disagree that PSL is staunchly anti-imperialist. They’re paid agents of an imperialist country.

I think it’ would be hard to argue that the psl aren’t at very least anti western imperialist considering their opposition towards the projects of the western hegemony.
However if you are trying to state that China is an imperialist country that’s an entirely different argument that you haven’t established, nor is it really prevalent the current argument.
I agree they’re anti-western imperialism but that’s not sufficient to be anti-imperialist in a broader sense. Even the US opposes imperialism of their rivals–that’s part of the nature of imperial powers. But it would be very misleading to describe them as anti-imperialist. To qualify you need to take a principled stance against actions that constitute imperialism, no matter who is taking them.
Inaccessible images of pure text for the lose. 😞
Post needs links to sources with proper text.
Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
- usability
- we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can’t
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can’t read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
- users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can’t explore wider context of the original message
- authenticity: we don’t know the image hasn’t been tampered
- searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
- usability
Anytime people mention that veterans are treated like disposable waste by the government it brings a smile to my face.
