periphery ~ country, farms and mines
semi-periphery ~ town, manufacturing
core ~ mansion, office and technology
idk being in the imperial core is kind of like being a servant inside the weird rich person's mansion
You can definitely make a lot of money but it's just strange.

I don't know whether to believe the stuff about trans women being targeted by the FBI. But it makes sense that they're trying to paint transgender people as terrorists and are targeting Free Palestine and anti-racist organizers.

IMO many of the petrostates objectively rely on differential (monopoly) rents to a degree that they can't be seen as periphery.
China is interesting because of its recent incorporation of Macau and Hong Kong.

idk GDP per capita is kind of bad at measuring imperialism.

Ultimately, the profits have to come from somebody working somewhere so it kind of works as a measure.

From all the ridiculousness I've read today, one thing is clear: Liberals will keep losing elections to fascists, and they'll refuse to understand why. They can't accept that the Dems created the conditions that led to Trump. You don't end up with a fascist as president when things are going well.

If you wanna know what your government will do to you tomorrow, take a good look at what it's doing to us in the global south first.
Then take a good look at what it's doing to your marginalized communities.
That what will happen to you in a couple years.

Religion is tiresome because it's so bound up in community and social relations that I am completely alienated from.
It's kind of like watching someone eat something that you find both disgusting and completely unaffordable.

The reality is that most people don't think logically through their political options but just go along with the friends they feel good about and against the enemies they feel bad about. It's not bad or anything. It's just a very different style from others.
Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

It's stupid but people aren't going to start organizing until they see a photogenic young white girl (preferably Christian) die. Being a lesbian is already pushing it.
The reality is that many people care more about Charlie Kirks than any of us.

I think internal colonialism is just a misleading way of describing racism.
The ghetto is an internal colony which deals with the town and country contradiction but race is an overlapping superstructure.

Really Marxism just ought to be political science but actually good and not bullshit.
Marx, Lenin and Mao are still the founders of modern political science though.
