Awesome! I've been really enjoying dhamma talks from Wat Marp Jan in Thailand a lot lately. Great to see a collaboration of sanghas from Seattle and Rayong! Thank you for sharing. Sathu sathu sathu 🙏
Korea has a legislative branch that is different from European style parliamentary systems.
Classic case of blaming the symptom and not the cause.
Sheesh. The difference in merit is just... Stunning.
Ohio State proving itself time and again that it is NOT to be messed with.
I reread your essay. It's got ties to recent developments with the hype machine known as AI in the form of DeepSeek. Lowered activation energy for a pathway big business now deems the future path. I find the lack of mention of the global south in your essay to be discouraging. Any thoughts of a PS?🙏
Mass demonstrations and student walkouts, made up of participants from multiple high schools, are still going strong in #LosAngeles, #California. www.foxla.com/news/student...
Longer-term perspective on the rise of US oligarchy
I'm no capitalist cuck but BYD was exposed by the Brazilian government for this human rights violation. Doesn't excuse Hyundai for using child labor in Louisiana though. This whole neolib system is just rotten to the core.
Yup we got Christofascists too. Neoliberalism sucks.
It sucks but it also kinda makes young men learn responsibility, how to use a rifle, how to be fine with less, why we need to protect what little democracy we have.
Speaking from first hand experience in the army, it's also filled with crazies who talk about fragging their asswipe officers if war breaks out, and going AWOL afterwards to protect their families or sailing to Japan/China.
Pushbacks not kickbacks. Corruption gotta go
While he promptly corrected his slip by saying "girlfriends" after. Maybe it was his way to shout out the ~10% of conscripted men who are serving as LGBTQ+ in a very don't ask don't tell environment. There was a controversy then about MSM soldiers being prosecuted even for relations out of base.
I keep thinking back at a speech a colonel gave to my division during my conscription days. He was reminding us why we serve our nation, as a sacrifice to our family, friends, and loving boyfriends. His slip made 1000s of us chortle, but looking back I think he did it intentionally #koreaarmy
Yay antioxidants!
Dunk into a water tank to cool off. Or yeet back at the aggressor.
Do not rub your eyes, do not touch any exposed skin! Wash off without skin contact!
Do you finish all the soup? Egg drop makes it extra 👌 but I just can't stop thinking about all that sodium.
A lot of them also have skin in the grift. Neoliberalism is the name of their game, they're terrified of losing unrealized gains.
Sheiitt a lot of this nonsense could've been prevented if the US wasn't a third world country that doesn't want to enforce its laws.
Substack is fascism complicit
The world is watching what'll happen on Wednesday.
They can start by tackling Citizens United, insider trading, implementing max wage, higher progressive taxation. I.E. legislating for the good of the working class.
It's an exercise in paradox. By demonstrating, they either mask off or eschew their neoliberalism.

Non fascists (non neolibs) aren't a monolith. I'll change my tune once neolibs show that they aren't on the fascist's side.
Why would they want to defeat themselves?
