The Brazilian Who Trolled North Korea During the World Cup - Tales From the Internet

Portuguese

The fake channel video ending

One video where the guy tells the whole story again at the very end he talks about the letter, how the DPRK embassy laughed and said it proves western media is shit. “In the end they even managed to take the high road” -“oof” their words lol.

Gonzalo Lira was also American, not like they care though, that granted him no special favors, they’ll say American traitors deserve it etc. Westerners are only “special” if they also on the “correct” side.

Are you joking? A few days ago the dipshit Ukrainian nazis were claiming the Russians shot down their own plane, you know because they’re just evil like that. I don’t suppose you’re hoping for the investigators to grab and show you 70 Ukrainian skulls and measure them with scalps just to prove the point either hopefully.

For those that are not aware or missed it somehow watch this very specifically starting at 1:50 one of the Ukrainian Nazis in an interview talking about this, it is not a meme(as in a joke) but rather a very real thing everyone acknowledges including the Nazis themselves.

Referencing 200 year old history in a random speech is not a war goal any more than a random Ukrainian with an American flag and a history book talking about the American independence war is actualy inspiration for Ukraine’s stand against Russia.

“There is no state in between. A country is either sovereign or a colony,” he said.

Where is the lie? He is absolutely correct here, not because he is a Marxist or understands imperialism lol, he just stumbles upon the correct take because it is absolutely obvious to every global south country. Ukraine is not a sovereign country under any measure. Certainly without western help during this war it wouldn’t even be a country anymore amid total economic and social collapse.

I give you the benefit of doubt, maybe there is a tiny chance you are not aware about sex tourism is what this story is about.

Jesus fucking forget reading the article, fucking idiot didn’t even get beyond the first half of the headline lol.

As a hb user for a long time now I’ll just add my own experience some of you may not realize.

Even though downvotes are removed it is still quite easy to see at a glance what the majority opinion is just by looking at the vote count. If you see for example

Comment A: +15

Comment B: +13

Comment C(reply to b): +2

I personaly think it is pretty damn obvious still specialy if C is a “hot take” and even more so if made at the same/close time. You’ll get used to it and requires more diligence from the reader, honestly voting systems are not even close to perfect. You’ll still see the same takes getting high upvotes and bad takes getting low upvotes.

Downvotes were maybe useful on a large site like reddit where you may wonder between completely different communities and may not know whats the difference between good/bad content but in a centralized community you should learn that difference eventualy therefore a lot of the arguments I’m seeing here(they were made exactly like this back then for us too) do not actualy take into account the simple dynamic; outsiders/wreckers/libs will easily downvote stuff they disagree, but they’ll never upvote. Therefore it eventually becomes just as easy to see these differences. Even though downvotes were removed, the dynamic “moderation” aspect still remains.

Just my 2c have fun.

From where any logical and sane person is sitting, only one side commited a historical blunder of actualy admitting to the media that the Donbas war was a “frozen conflict” when in reality there were already peace agreements between both sides.

Go complain to Merkel for making you look bad. You don’t have to believe in Russian good faith if you don’t want to, all that is necessary is to admit the actual reality of what happened and what was admitted by the west already.

All Russian negotiations rely on the agreement for Ukrane to give up a part of invaded lands. That is not going to happen, especially after Crimea in 2014. Russia has no claim to the lands and any negotiations that require them are a joke.

What are you even talking about? Seriously what part of terms agreed by Ukraine you didn’t understand? Please for the love of god actualy read about the stuff you’re commenting before replying, thank you.

Are you aware there not one but two previous attempts at negotiations that Ukraine purposedly sabotaged on their own? Are you even aware Merkel literaly admitted the Minsk agreements were merely attempts to buy time and prepare Ukraine for war.

You can read the terms here

All the more remarkable is her admission that the Minsk agreement served to buy time for Ukraine’s rearmament. “It was clear to all of us that this was a frozen conflict, that the problem had not been solved, but that is precisely what gave Ukraine valuable time,” Merkel told Die Zeit.

Previously, the Minsk agreement, which Merkel signed together with then-French President François Hollande, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin in September 2014, had been portrayed as an effort towards peace that the Russian president had allegedly later thwarted.

Now, Merkel confirms that NATO wanted war from the start but needed time to prepare militarily—an assessment WSWS has long held.

Russia negotiated in good faith while NATO never had any intention of honoring negotiation terms agreed by Ukraine.

Yes quite literaly if NATO stayed the fuck out of Ukraine there wouldn’t be any war, literaly once again, they purposedly broke the agreements which were meant to prevent war and de-escalate.

Minsk 1 was in 2014. Then there was a second Minsk agreement in 2015.

Please for the love of god don’t parachute into this war as if history began in February 2022 I beg you.

I’d love to see that supreme intelligence and might survive more than 18 hours with direct US support.

Isn’t mensa some absolutely cringe techbro shit? Still outside of that this is great to see. Also goes against the myth women don’t like tech.

Yeah I just looked and you’re right.

But to be fair here all of what you mention is obfuscated away behind another discussion page and their own “policy” which no normal person would ever know or even care about.

They could make it far more transparent to the visitor and most of these things could be included in that header.

“[insert random class here] are comically apolitical. They only care about their own [insert activity/property here]. The idea they all work together, as a class to prop up [contemporary social economic system here], is… not plausible”

Ok so that is the template now replace with the most comical examples you can think of

-Feudal lords/Castles/Feudalism

-Roman patricians/Villas/primitive accumulation(or slavery)

-Catholic Priests/Churches/Catholicism

So on, you’re right its absolute dumbest shit but it also stems from the complete misunderstanding of what “politics” is as well, I mean what are the chances the random person on the street even knows the actual origin of the word? How many Americans think politics was invented in 1776 or even later?

I don’t know how much of a real thing this is but there is also a popular saying in creative circles about trying to not be influenced by others.

In this case I definitely think Chinese engineers could end up picking the wrong/bad qualities from F-35 and other similar systems because American superiority they believed for so long not realizing it was shit and is in fact all shit.

Not really, these import bans are at least 6 months old maybe even from last year. It is just that the EU successfully managed to get these countries to go back and forth, delay or create exemptions etc.

This is literaly that homer meme again lol.

Captured [random village here], a huge day, a great victory!

Reality:

Thousands and thousands of dead, more mobilizations including women.

FInancial times: “The idea that Ukrainian forces, lacking any air cover, would storm through Russian lines was always going to be more of a Hollywood plotline than reality.”

dozens of precious “indestructible” western tanks lost,

took so long it is now the rain season so they can’t advance anymore

the target was supposed to be the land bridge to Crimea and cities like Melitopol.

Don’t ask what is going on near and around Kupiansk for the last 2 months.

Don’t ask what is the former name for Artemvosk lol.

US at grave risk of China tech war retaliation

The US imported US$33 billion in capital goods from China for electricity generation and distribution in 2022, items that are no longer manufactured in the US.

Substituting domestic production for these items would entail long lead times and exorbitant costs, industrial officials say. In the event of a full-scale trade war, a Chinese ban on critical components could cripple basic US infrastructure.

“The vulnerability of supply chains for critical infrastructure is acute and self-inflicted. The US and its allies have allowed themselves to become captive to Chinese cartels that control production of electronic components, high-powered magnets, printed circuit boards, computers, drones, rare earth metals, wind turbines, solar cells, cellular phones and lithium batteries… In fact, nearly every element of the technology-based digital smart grid is dependent on Chinese-made components,” Brien Sheahan, a former top US energy regulatory official, wrote in April.

US defense contractors also depend heavily on China. In a June 19 interview with the Financial Times, Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes said his company had “several thousand suppliers in China and decoupling is impossible. We can de-risk but not decouple,” adding that he believed this to be the case “for everybody” in US manufacturing.

Hayes added, “Think about the $500 billion of trade that goes from China to the US every year. More than 95% of rare earth materials or metals come from, or are processed in, China. There is no alternative. If we had to pull out of China, it would take us many, many years to re-establish that capability either domestically or in other friendly countries.”

It is a good article there is more and some graphs.

You can spot the exact date the American capitalists decided to offshore manufacturing to China lol.

Yep great point, here it is said trailer again A week before too lol.
