Lol, I just saw on Reddit that Cebuanos are accusing Tagalogs of being the most colonially minded ethnicity. You do not want to go there, because that is just plain wrong and flies in the face of historical facts 💀

Manilenos commenting "Bisaya" on a video of a cattle festival in Batangas is very funny because Batangenyos are technically thebmost ethnically pure Tagalogs in the country 💀

T*rence Cr*wford is so overrated 😭 like, he's a good boxer, but he does not deserve to be in the same conversation as Mayweather or Pacquiao

The AI bubble is about to burst, fully revealing the depths of the world economic crisis. We're probably at the brink of absolute economic disaster.

Israel TORTURER a JEWISH Flotilla Member! Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir personally brutalized members of the Gaza flotilla while handcuffed in prison; he singled out two Jews including my friend David Kadler for extra humiliation (Steven Donziger)

Please do not talk about the "overground of the CPP" like that, you're wild 😵‍💫

I cannot emphasize how much of an urban hell Manila has become, and a lot of that is also partly because of the proliferation of these upmarket areas filled with condos and overpriced food stalls that the Manila bourgeoisie and white sexpats love.

It was created by Germans. What else could it possibly be.

I think a lot of Filipinos nowadays don't know or don't remember a time when Manila traffic was limited to rush hours: 7-11 in the morning, 4-9 in the evening. But that was the case as late as the early 2010s. The traffic hell of today is a very recent phenomenon.

This was two years before October 7th during a flag march where Zionists chanted "Death to Arabs" and smashed Palestinian businesses and homes like the nazis did during Kristallnacht.

man it is not an inarguably moral position to say that people breaking out of the prison they were forced into after their homes were taken from them by settlers is "bad", it is not inarguably moral to say that striking back at colonization and slow genocide is bad, fuck

Never trust a DemSoc. Can't say I'm surprised or disappointed, too much experience with these faux-progressive liberals

Greta Thunberg is a lot braver, more honorable, and more respectable, than most couch communists on this and the other app.

Ha? Hindi naman Tagalog si Marcos a 😭

It's a misconception here that the Philippines has many languages because it is an achipelago. It's actually because it's mountainous. The seas between islands were highways, and it's no surprise that people on opposite coastlines speak the same languages, but those on the same island but divided...

It's funny how some Filipinos keep insisting that we should invest in football instead of basketball because of the height disadvantage when size remains an advantage in football. We already know the sport where size is not a disadvantage, and was historically popular here -- boxing.

Racist East Asian cope is real; I have yet to come across a Filipino incel, the ligaw and lambing culture just wouldn't allow it. In fact, the most common stereotype I come across about dating Filipinos is that we are players who just won't take relationships seriously.

Fetishizers of Filipino precolonial culture are so funny because they refuse to see elements of that culture staring at them right in the face, seeing it as "yagit" or misclassifying it as Spanish, then they do gross cultural appropriation of our national minority cultures or try to revive...

Wait this was six months ago???? JKR's been beefing with Emma Watson for fucking months?????? I'm sorry, she didn't do anything wrong lol Joanne is a PIECE OF SHIT

Category 5 landfalls in the Philippines since World War 2: we've had 25, including 14 in Luzon and 6 in Batanes/Babuyan Islands, for an average of one every 3 years. The Philippines is the most typhoon/hurricane prone country in the planet, Luzon the most for an island.

Women are actually better than men at marksmanship

Dengists are idiots. The BPP of the 60s were aligning with Mao Zedong in the middle of the Sino-Soviet split, back when China was still socialist. Dengists today align with modern Khruschevites and bewail the split 😵‍💫

TIL some WWE fans are very gay and are shipping wrestlers and writing fanfic about them. Um...

Tbf, the public is generally not good at identifying real risk. For example, boxing is more dangerous and has higher chance of fatality than MMA, but most people don't realize it. Boxing with gloves is also much more dangerous than bare knuckle boxing.

Wild that American football seems to cause more CTE than boxing. Like, I see CTE in boxers by their 50s and 60s, but so many American football players degrade by their 40s, and now we have people with unambiguous CTE from American football from just their teens.

People calling boxing a niche sport is so unnerving, because this has become true even in the Philippines. In the 2000s, boxing was the second most popular spectator sport in the country after basketball, but nowadays, it has been completely taken over by volleyball.

I hate it when people in boxing GOAT debates uses Pacquiao being a senator as a point to show his impact outside boxing, like Muhammad Ali supposedly. Nope. It actually nearly ruins his legacy. If only he acted like Efren Bata Reyes instead 😭

Sometimes, I try to forget that Pacquiao has a politics career so that I can relive being a hardcore supporter as a kid by watching his old fights 💀

Some more leftist hot takes: humanity should have had colonies in other planets and/or moons by now, and the fact that we don't is just another case of misallocated resources under capitalism hindering the development of the forces of production that will benefit humanity.

A commie hot take: I like Stalinist architecture better than Kruschevite "commie" blocks. Architecture is the most public of the arts, it's not that wasteful to spend more on things that can and will be appreciated en masse.

This is what I mean when I say that BGC is not a walkable coty, but the bulk of Metro Manila actually is walkable. In fact, the recent move to add sidewalks to minor residential streets "to make it more walkable" actually makes it less walkable: converting formerly low speed limit mixed use streets

Fascists, liberals, and revisionists are all united in the supression of mass movement.

Finally, a fascist gets a death he deserves. I'm tired of the mfers dying of old age or disease

Calling the protest movement in Indonesia a "color revolution" is a display of utter ignorance regarding the history of Indonesia, a US puppet state since the Suharto coup.

One thing I hate about Twitter Marxists is their unfounded arrogance. Dismissing the political impact of erstwhile popular media like The Hunger Games which has objectively helped prop up powerful mass movements in Myanmar, Indonesia, and Thailand makes you all look ridiculous in the face of the...

Hunger Games fans getting mad that Sunrise on the Reaping expounded on why Haymitch was punished so severely when they wanted him to be punished for such a small deed because that's supposedly how dictatorships work 💀 Lol, dictatorships do not work like that at all, and it's not...

Israhell doing Hunger Games-style Prim Reaper bombs 😵‍💫

Mayaman ang Panem pero naghihirap ang mamamayang Panem.

Actually, The Hunger Games is superior to 1984, the former encourages revolution while the latter is reactionary at its core. And I don't think it's purely gender politics hampering the recognition if THG, it's the fact that it is a very sharp critique of Western society and colonial exploitation.

I think speculating on possible designs for The Hunger Games like this is disgusting and a very clear sign that the metaphor of the Capitol being the West is real.

You know that a lot of so-called leftists here and on Twitter are larpers because they barely talk about organizing, the life and soul of resistance.

The most embarassing thing about me is that I watched Fight Club as a teen and it actually pushed my politics left, along with V for Vendetta and the book The Once and Future King. Like, I was already a communist sympathizer by the time I reached college and got organized.

My most far out "politics affects my movie taste" movie is Encanto, which I probably woyld have loved if I didn't become a commie for its family and trauma themes, but which I really can't get into now because I think it's insulting to make family resilience the crux of the problem in a film that...

The "Popular Forces" group in Gaza that has no more than 300 active members is an ISIS backed Anti-Hamas gang that is heavily sponsored by Netanyahu to carry out attacks against humanitarian efforts against the Palestinian people. Don't be fooled by the supposed "Anti-Hamas" opposition in Gaza.

After the US proposed a peace plan and the EU’s renewed push for recognising Palestine, PA leader Mahmoud Abbas has moved to call elections—excluding rival factions. us.politsturm.com/western-impe...
