She's a far-right, trumpist freak... Maduro sucks ass, but she's absolutely awful. Just an embarrassing pick that was probably meant to appease Trump and that serves his political interests in Central and South America...

Not the point, but it goes to show how most white folks don't watch foreign films lol. Like, watch ANY Iranian film, and plenty of the people in it will be white, blonde/redheads with blue/green eyes.

This is also why arguments against the term apartheid's applicability on the basis that Israel's regime of control over Palestinians does not constitute a racial one all fall flat, because race is a construct and there are infinite ways to construct it as a result. The US's way is only one way.

so it seems Saleh was killed (possibly executed) by an Israeli-armed/backed militia. We've known that Israel has been doing this. The goal: fomenting a civil war between Palestinian factions. Inevitably Israel will "intervene" to quell the clashes. Another tool in its genocidal arsenal.

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

Lo último que el mundo necesita es más Silicon Valleys, al mundo le sobran Silicon Valleys y sólo hay uno (quiza dos por el sector tech chino). Podríamos estar echando la ficha en la banqueta y tomando chelas, pero los gringos decidieron darle las riendas del mundo a un montón de tetazos fascistas.
