#happy republic day 2022 status

[leninisms]

I’m not very well versed in international diplomacy, can you explain why her policy is evil aside from her stance on Israel and Gaza? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I figured you’d be kind enough to actually answer.

hi! thank you for asking so nicely! this is not a dumb question at all, and i’m happy to answer:)

i want to start by quickly shouting out a couple of my favorite independent media outlets that i go to for news, because i believe these people and organizations are doing really crucial work:

geopolitical economy report

breakthrough news, the socialist program, liberation news, and liberation school

the real news network

venezuela analysis

i’m gonna break kamala’s foreign policy down section by section, but i do want to first point out that there is no mention of strengthening international partnerships, except through military power. there’s no talk about ending any sanctions or blockades. no talk of strengthening old, or establishing new trade agreements. it’s all military, war, threats, security, attacks, etc..

this is long so it’s all below the cut:)

immediately “american interests” is bad. this does not mean the interests of the american working class (though it would still be bad if it did)— it means the interests of the american capitalist ruling class. the biggest “threat” china poses to the U.S. is the rise of china and the BRICS as global economic superpowers. from liberation news:

“…China’s economic rise poses a threat to this U.S.-dominated unipolar international arrangement, and this fear of the U.S. losing its status as the dominant global power forms the basis of Washington’s foreign policy vis-a-vis Beijing. Presenting this competition as an existential one of “democracy” versus “authoritarianism,” the U.S. applies a strategy of containment toward China to blunt its rise: by seeking to isolate it through military encirclement, foreclosing its access to key markets, and cutting it off economically from the rest of the world. This policy is intended to cripple China’s development, ensuring Western capitalism’s control over the entire globe.”

for more information on china, check out dongsheng news, friends of socialist china, and breakthrough news’ new segment “the china report.” here’s a cool podcast mini-series about china’s revolution. and, just for good measure, here’s all of liberation school’s china analyses. i also recommend this post debunking the “uyghur genocide.”

north korea (the democratic people’s republic of korea/dprk) is not a fascistic military dictatorship or whatever they’re calling it these days. there’s a lot of fear-mongering in the U.S. about the “threat of nuclear war with north korea.” the primary reason dprk has been so adamant about having nuclear weapons is that the united states carpet bombed all of korea from 1950-1953, dropping 635,000 tons of bombs, destroying an estimated 85% of buildings, and killing hundreds of thousands of people. the desire for nuclear weapons comes from the security that mutually assured destruction (MAD) offers.

for more information on korea: this article is a condensed version of stephen gowen’s book (patriots, traitors, and empire: the story of korea’s struggle for freedom). i also recommend the dprk’s government website and the pyongyang times. if you’re a podcast enjoyer, blowback season three was all about korea (and they have a bibliography)!!! and this post has more sources as well:)

i’ll start by saying NATO needs to be abolished. it’s not about peace— it’s about unipolar U.S. hegemony and it’s about aggression and endless war. i’m going to let these sources speak for themselves because they’re just that good.

this episode of the socialist program (2022) is a really good introduction to NATO, specifically in relation to the russia-ukraine conflict. this statement on russia’s intervention in ukraine from liberation news is a very solid analysis. geopolitical economy report shared this article (also available on youtube) just days ago which nicely analyzes some of the reasons the U.S. has been so unconditionally supportive of ukraine. this essay about the convergence of ukrainian liberals and fascists was recommended by one of my comrades, and for good reason. from the article:

… dwelling on Ukraine’s neo-nazis can be an optical illusion. Not that I am one to underplay their murderous actions or political power. But that ultimately, they are junior partners to Ukraine’s liberals. And Ukraine’s liberals at time may be even more militaristic than the nationalists, who more often have their lives under risk at the frontline. Even if liberal slogans may not seem quite so openly bloodthirsty as whatever rightwinger yelling about the Jewish conspiracy.

The political convergence between extreme ethno-nationalism and neo-liberalism... In Ukraine, it’s quite simple: the nationalists care more about cultural policy and the right to shoot those they dislike than economic policy. And the liberals need someone to shoot those they dislike.

i hope this was helpful, but please feel free to ask for clarification or further reading or whatever. i love talking about politics and i love getting to make posts like this because they allow me to expand my knowledge too!! again, thank you for asking!

CARPE DIEM (life)

Seize the day —Horace.

"The only reason we hold back is that we think we have an endless amount of chances or that there will always be one more. But as time disappears into the past and life goes on, those chances will run out. You will either live with eternal happiness for being brave or eternal regret for holding back."

The Daily Telegraph reports

Circa 2022 The Republic of Serong

TOP STORIES—

SERONG 'Hazardous' driving conditions after Serong sees the coldest day in 12 years.

Schools remain open despite cold snap and orange status.

 We issue three categories of weather warnings, yellow, orange and red.

SERONG Number of reported crimes in Serong falls to post war-low.

Yet cases of bank transfer or phone scams surged by 13.1%.

SERONG Taxi cab in collision with Light Rail this weekend in South Gorey.

No fatal injuries for the Taxi driver but raised questions about the Light Rail security.

SERONG Seir Lingus Airlines announces three new Asia Pacific and two European summer destinations.

Kyushu (Japan) - Jeju Island (S. Korea) - Phuket (Thailand)

Andalucía (Spain) - Provence (France)

SERONG Mixed messages: What Gorey Court's same-sex marriage ruling really means.

Earlier this week, the Gorey District Court handed down a mixed ruling, saying that banning same-sex marriage represents an “unconstitutional state” but is still in line with the Constitution.

Does that mean it is constitutional, or not? In short, it’s constitutional, but not legal.

OOC— Notes

Carpe Diem Life is what we would call the present time. It is the last known reincarnation of each soul.

Carpe Diem Life is set in realistic, current times, in the Republic of Serong. The country is at peace when this post goes live.

Threads during this period of time must be tagged accordingly, including the name CARPE DIEM. (Ex, "carpe diem; thread 001" or any tag you would find more suitable for your tag system.) This is to not get threads mixed or lost when another past life comes into play.

Souls can have déjà vus (a feeling of having already experienced the present situation) of past lives. They can also have reminiscences of people they have not previously known in this life. Or no recollection at all.

To completely remember past lives characters might have had psychological sessions of hypnosis, or give any kind of realistic reason on why they do, but for the most part, they can have the déjà vu moments or dreams.

QUOTATIONS - PAULO COELHO’S ‘VERONIKA DECIDES TO DIE’ (FIRST PUBLISHED 1939)

First sentence:

‘On 11 November 1997, Veronika decided that the moment to kill herself had - at last! - arrived.’ (Coelho, 2022, p.1).

On Paul Coelho:

‘ ... she came across an article about a computer game (one of those CD-Roms), created by Paul Coelho, a Brazilian writer she had happened to meet at a lecture in the cafe at the Grand Union Hotel.’ (Coelho, 2022, p.1).

‘So let us allow Paul Coelho and his friend Veronika to leave this book for good and let us get on with the story.’ (Coelho, 2022, p.19).

On Slovenia:

‘ ... “Where is Slovenia?”

‘Honestly,” she thought, “no one ever knows where Slovenia is.” But Slovenia existed nonetheless ... ‘ (Coelho, 2022, p.2).

‘Slovenia - that strange country that no one seemed quite able to place, except the people who lived there ... ‘ (Coelho, 2022, p.4).

‘ “If they don’t know where Slovenia is, then Ljubljana must be a myth,” ... ‘ (Coelho, 2022, p.5).

‘ ... Slovenia was one of the five republics into which the former Yugoslavia had been divided.’ (Coelho, 2022, p.5).

‘A group of Bolivian musicians (where is Bolivia? why don’t magazine articles ask that?) were playing in front of the statue of France Preseren, the great Slovenian poet, who had made such a profound impact on the soul of his people.’ (Coelho, 2022, p.9).

‘ ... Ljubljana, Slovenia’s small but charming capial ... ‘ (Coelho, 2022, p.75).

On suicide:

‘ ... suicide emands that people think of themselves first and of others later.’ (Coelho, 2022, p.2).

‘Shooting, jumping off a high building, hanging, none of these options suited her feminine nature. Women, when they kill themsleves, choose far more romantic methods - like slashing their wrists or taking an overdose of sleeping pills. Abandoned princesses and Hollywood actresses have provided numerous examples of this.’ (Coelho, 2022, p.3).

On mental health:

‘ “And all of us, one way or another, are mad.” ‘ (Coelho, 2022, p.62).

‘Moving house, getting divorced and the absence of light were the main reasons for the increase in the number of cases of depression.’ (Coelho, 2022, p.72).

‘ “The happier people can be, the unhappier they are.” ‘ (Coelho, 2022, p.76).

‘ “ ... normaiity is merely a matter of consensus, that is, a lot of people think something is right, and so that thing becomes right.” ‘ (Coelho, 2022, p.166).

On reading:

‘ “Why don’t you go for a walk, dear, and let me finish my book?” ‘ (Coelho, 2022, p.64).

On education:

‘She hated everything. The library with its pile of books full of explanations about life, the school that had forced her to spend whole evenings learning algebra, even though she didn’t know a single person, apart from teachers and mathematicians, who needed algebra in order to be happy. Why did they make them learn so much algebra or geometry or any of that mountain of other useless things?’ (Coelho, 2022, p.69).

On life:

‘She would consider each day a miracle, which indeed it is, when you consider the number of unexpected things that could happen in each second of our fragile existences.’ (Coelho, 2022, p.209).

ESC 2021 Preshow: 08. France

Barbara Pravi - “Voilà”

Autoqualifier

France going from 3rd last on my ranking / likely last place in the finale to 8th place in the ranking / probably top 3 in the Grand Final. 😍 WHAT A GLOW-UP.

So, “Voilà” is epic, obviously. Yeah I will skip the theatrics, each and every one of you know this song and we all know it’s probably the best French entry in ages. 

Funnily enough, I didn’t care for “Voilà” when I first heard it lmfao. It felt similar to the song Patricia Kaas went to Eurovision with and while “Et s’il faillait le faire” has its fans, I was never one of them. Worse, the internet immediately resorted to refering to “Voilà” as a “masterpiece” which is probably the pretentious statement you can make about Eurovision songs. Guys, it’s an Edith Piaf-inspired tribute act. Calm the eff down. Still, even at this early a stage I was instantly charmed by Barbara’s introspection and pluck even if I didn’t care for the music at first. After all, Barbara was the mastermind behind jesc HITS “Bim bam toi” and “J’imagine” and if she wants to bring a song that puts HER SELF at the forefront, she’s perfectly entitled to do so. About fucking time. On top of that, I thought the ending was sublime, even in studio version. “Why can’t the entire song be like that”, I thought. And then, E:CVQD arrived and Barbara SERVED, OUTSOLD, SLAYED, etc every superlative under the sun. 

So remember when I aired my critique regarding Gjon? “Tout l’Univers” is an “Objectively Strong” composition in that it employs music theory to conjure up a song that sounds impressive on first listen. But behind that academic skill lies virtually nothing of interest. I cannot connect with it beyond a base level because what does it tell me about Gjon or his story? Technique without a heart or a soul is merely pretense. But I suppose it can sound sophisticated to someone who doesn’t know what “sophistication” is. 

Barbara, however. Her personality just SPRINGS FORWARD on an approachable level from the first note. “Voilà”s’s technical expertise and Barbara’s own perfomance talents carry this vibe, this SERVE of personality, through the full three minutes without ever getting boring or tedious and they leave me craving for another listen. ALL OF THESE ARE AMAZING TRAITS IN A EUROVISION SONG. And this is just from the studio version, the live stage show makes it even better. 

So yeah, homeboy’s got his work cut out for him because if this is his competition he’ll have to graft hard for his victory.

NF Corner -  C’est Vous Qui Décidez

In what would become a running theme amidst countries this year, France led the charge in a personal project called #OperationForget2020, in which every trace of last year would be subsequently memory-holed. To acheive this, they revived their NF, gave it a new name and pretended it was ~The First NF of Its Format~ (so basically doing what Lithuania did last year when they rebranded Atranka into PiN).

INCIDENTALLY, this would also wind up the best NF of the year, pretty much by default because France had the most to win. Even though Barbara was the obvious winner from the instant the songs were revealed, the French had some excellent back-up options in their arsenal. Let’s rummage through them shall we?

LMK - “Magique”

R&B Trap wench <3 “Magique” starts off pretty and cute for fifteen seconds, before whiplashing hard into kick-ass tropical house territory. Her Slovene spirit mothers Raiven and Lea Sirk are so proud of her <3 She definitely deserved much better than the result she got (being NQ with the audience O_O), but lol it’s France, they ain’t NEVER crowning a sexually confident sassy woman, let’s not kid ourselves. 

Céphaz - “On a mangé le soleil”

This Hat God had me at that title. “We have eaten the sun” 😍😍😍😍. More songs should adopt a fatalistic environmental angle by using consumption-related metaphors à la “we’ve devoured out planet :burp:, MOAR”, and then set this suuuuper cynical and depressing text to an upbeat and optimistic soundtrack <3 The “Hey ya” tease of it all. 😍

Amui - “Maeva”

So cheerful it turns a surly cretin such as myself into a blundering mass of uwu. It’s like a nillies Eurovision semi NQ’er suddenly wandered into the set, so derivative and repetitive and tacky but SO fun and happy-go-lucky <3 The entire premise of “Maeva” is basically like: “VISIT FRENCH POLYNESIA, WE ARE THE MOST HOSPITABLE PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH” <333 using this message in the middle of a worldwide viral pandemic <33333333 Normally fun-trash like this would be murdered at first sight by any jury, but whoops “Maeva” turned out a massive televote hit HEHEE 😛 and finished third in the televote despite being last or second last with the jury. Those Tahitian diasporia votes coming through <3

Adriamad - “Allélujah”

TACKY EUROTRASH <3 Lol when I think of it, did I like this NF because it was good or because it was so fun-trash. Anyway, this display of diversity would normally be on my shitlist but it’s honestly SO OTT in its ~People Of The World Of All Colours Are Equal~ message it circles back into funny. The eye gimmick, the hammy choreography, the obnoxious fusion of several cultures into a nondescript ethnotrash hodgepodge, the fucking LYRICS everything is so funny and so entertaining it’s giving me LIFE. 😍 I’d say it deserved better but “Allélujah” stranding in the demifinal (not a typo) is honestly a much, much more satisfying result <3

Predicted Journey - France

Barbara is going on that Mahmood trajectory, I see. Early fave who gets near unanimous critical acclaim, rules solely on top until the other contenders show up and is then put on the backburner because she’s an autoqualifier and therefore isn’t a part of the “who will qualify?” discussions. Then, the rehearsals will happen and everyone will remember “hey, that French chick we almost forgot about is actually REALLY good” allowing her to pick up momentum again, catapulting her into the top five. So it is written, such it shall be.

The question is... Can she win? 

The answer is: yeah, possibly? At this point we have three potential contenders: Gjon for Switzerland and Destiny for Malta are the main rivals and I’d say Barbara has one big advantage over Gjon and Destiny: She already has a great live performance to back up her potential winner status. In fact, Barbara is a fave to win because we know what she’s going to bring in Rotterdam.  Gjon and Destiny could theoretically still bomb if their staging is off (and both are getting theirs done by Sasha Jean-Baptiste, soooooo) and their contenderness is based on things such as hype and expectation. Barbara meanwhile already had her baptism by fire when she competed in E:CQVD, which she handily won.

The problem though is Gjon Muharremaj. For the average eurofan, France and Switzerland have similar entries and it will result in a tug-of-war between which of them has the better song. Either could win this televote bout, and whoever does could beat Malta.. .but that would require Malta to have a disappointing televote result and with each passing day this is starting to look less likely. (Jury results matter less because they’re probably the top 3).  Personally I don’t really have a preference between Barbara OR Destiny as a win for either would push Eurovision in a better direction (A Gjon win though... I am TERRIFIED that may result in a 2022 contest filled with Vincent Bueno’s and Vasils), but if these three are indeed the top three, Barbara’s position is the most secure although she’s probably also the least likely one to actually win. Pray that I’m wrong though and we can all meet at her flat in Montmartre for a covid-proof afterparty. 

Projected placements:

> Grandfinal: 1st-5th (predicted Runner-up)

These shoes were made for walking!

April 7, 2022

This morning we set out in our most comfortable walking shoes for a day that took us up down and all-around the city of Prague. We started with a Free Walking Tour in Old Town. Free walking tours are one of my favorite activities when I travel. I always get tons of great information and the price is right - free! Well...almost free...tours are pay what you want. At the end of the tour, you give what you are able or what you think the tour was worth. Our tour with Michal did not disappoint. Crisscrossing the maze of Old Town we saw/learned:

Estates Theater - famous forn18th C architecture,  oldest theater in Prague and location of Mozarts first opera where he received a 20 min standing ovation

Charles University (red brick building) oldest university in Prague and all of central Europe dating to 1348

Cubist architecture- House of the Black Madonna

The Mole - Soviet Czech version of Mickey Mouse

Basilica of St James - Baroque decor & architecture (includes the shell - symbol of the pilgrimage route across Europe)

Czech Republic has largest consumption of beer per capita in the world)

Old Town Square - mix of architectural styles from Gothic to Renaissance to Baroque

Statue of Yanhous (sp?) - hero who revolted against the corruption of the system under King Wensceslos IV (son of the great king Charles IV) and the Catholic church (wanted service in local language rather than Latin). Burned at the stake as a heretic. Because a martyr whose death is celebrated as a national holiday.

Astronomical Clock

Only 5000-6000 Jews remaining in Czech. The Jewish Quarter is more historic/symbolic than active Jewish center.

Jewish Town Hall

After our tour concluded in the Jewish Quarter, we sat at a small shop for a lunch of Chimney cakes, or Trdelnick, a spit cake covered in sugar and filled your happiness (we got nutella and whipped cream in ours)....soooooo yummy! Once we had our fill, we hiked to Prague Castle. I've been to many castles around the world but the torture chambers displayed here were a first for me! Last move was an even further hike up to the top of Petrin Hill to go up to the observation deck of Petrin Tower. Great views but way too high for my liking lol. Finally, we made our way back down to Old Town for a dinner of traditional Czech beer and food at U Parlament. We had Urquell beer (I'm not a huge fan of beer...it was ok to me) and shared dishes of fried cheese w tartar sauce (this was really yummy), roasted rabbit (I was not a fan), roast duck, and a beef with vegetable cream sauce and dumplings. After a good soak for my aching feet, it'll be lights out for an early departure tomorrow.
