As USian, can confirm. So much infrastructure and even buildings is from the 1970’s, at best. We’re still actively poisoning ourselves with lead pipes ffs.

Aww, they’re friends

Insert clever way to say “have a nice week” here

The question of course is whether it now means that the Spratlys - or “Kalayaan” - are now covered by the US-Philippines mutual defense treaty and whether this new set of legislation and the US’s backing of it sets up the legal framework for this.

The US has never met a pretext it didn’t like. The only question is how far it intends to take things. Its “ideal” approach is probably a proxy war between China and The Philippines.

Accelerationist candidate let’s go!

Kamala is Hillary 2.0

What operating system does it use?

Windows XP, knowing the MIC

After which time, here’s hoping they don’t dare to call themselves The Resistance again.

Hehe, must have been catnip in there!

I hope your week boldly goes where your weeks have never gone before! :D

Not sure if this directly answers your question, but the Liberation theology tradition was started by a Catholic priest. https://theconversation.com/after-50-years-liberation-theology-is-still-reshaping-catholicism-and-politics-but-what-is-it-186804

One dimension of liberation theology has to do with analyzing the sources of social inequality. Its approach treats poverty as a complex phenomenon that cannot be reduced to economics, or separated from politics, because it intersects with other forms of oppression, such as sexism and racism. Poverty, Gutiérrez and other theologians have argued, is an evil – something they believe God does not want – for it can bring suffering and early death. In this view, poverty is not a natural condition; it is a violence that some communities inflict upon others.

The key principle of liberation theology is “the preferential option for the poor.” This is a commitment to prioritize the material needs of the poor, as well as their knowledge, experience and spirituality. This principle is grounded in the conviction that God is not neutral, but is always on the side of those who most struggle to live.

I was hoping this was from The Onion.

It died in Athens

Dawww

And a nice one to you too!

GIGACHUD!

Nice! Now if only Brazil would do the same for Venezuela and Nicaragua when it comes to joining BRICS.
