    Let me introduce to you the Brazilian hot dog:

    In my region of Brazil we have three flavors (!!!) of hot dog: beef (filled with meaty Bolognese), chicken (shredded chicken cooked in tomato sauce) and mixed (both; yes, BOTH!!).

    Things Brazilians put in hotdogs:

    • Hot dogs. How many, you ask? Well, how many do you want?
    • Corn
    • Peas
    • Ground beef
    • Chicken
    • Cheese
    • Cabbage
    • Vinaigrette
    • Mashed potatoes
    • Bacon
    • Crispy straw potatoes
    • Olives
    • Cooked quail eggs



  • Much like that UN report classifying Israel’s action against Palestinians as Apartheid (which is criminal in international law), much will be said and very little will be done about this. The state of Israel has been going against international law and agreements for almost its entire existence: see its support for illegal colonies and the walling and ghettoization of the West Bank and Gaza. Israel’s government has confidence that the US and NATO won’t do anything to stop their criminal actions against Palestinians because that is what they’ve been doing for the last half century. They will continue to coddle Israel until it fulfills its goal of completely exterminating or expelling Palestinians from the land between the river and the sea, forging a state with a single ethnicity, culture and religion out of Palestine.

    PS: just before anyone claims it: no, I do not support gratuitous acts of terrorism by Hamas, just as I don’t support Israel’s terrorism against Palestinians. All I’m trying to do is point out the historical context of the current conflict, so that nothing is distorted.


  • Eh…

    As for Russian imperialism, I agree with you on this one, but it’s still a little bit of a debate even within the international communist movement.

    Now, when we’re talking about China… I dunno, I don’t think I’ve made up my mind on this yet. It’s not clear cut, at least not for me. Right now, I think China is in a sui generis limbo between socialism and imperialist capitalism which could go either way.

    Anyway, shilling for China and Russia is a rarer position on the Internet as a whole, so it’s refreshing even if it’s not necessarily positive. I’m just tired of US and EU propaganda machines completely taking over social media, especially the conservative propaganda.
