weeen [any, any]
When I was a kid and first learned about communism I thought wow, the CEOs must study this Marx guy in detail to keep their position in society, it would never work nowadays!! but then I realised they don’t understand anything at all.
One of the most beautiful things about modern society is that the son of a white South African pedophile with immense wealth from Zambian emerald mine child labour was able to become the richest man in the world, fumbled his ‘cool inventor’ reddit persona by calling a diver trying to save children a pedophile, and despite having all the money in the world he can’t stop any of his 95 children from disowning him.
This man barely understands anything about society but managed to fail upwards and convinced himself that he’s a genius. He lied about read Capital ‘in english and then cross-referenced with the german version’ what? That’s literally a child’s idea of what a ‘cool genius’ person would do.
All his successes are someone else’s and all his failures are his own. He’s truly the crown jewel (emerald?) of capitalism.
These people feel like they’ve reached enlightenment by blaming every problem with capitalism on supposed racial inferiority of non-white people. Incredible
[CW child abuse] Huw Edwards: Former BBC presenter given suspended sentence
spoiler
over indecent images of children
this is the guy who announced the queens death
Huw Edwards has been spared jail for accessing indecent images of children as young as seven.
Prosecutor Ian Hope told the court Edwards had been assessed as posing a “medium risk of causing serious harm to children”.
In sentencing remarks, district judge Paul Goldspring added he was at “considerable risk of harm from others” if he had ended up in prison.
random bullshit go defense incoming:
A separate report conducted by a psychosexual therapist said: “The feelings of being desirable and unseen alongside Mr Edwards’s unresolved sexual orientation created a perfect storm where he engaged in sexual infidelities and became vulnerable to people blackmailing him.”
The judge also said that Edwards was of “previous good character” and, until now, had been “very highly regarded by the public” - whom to many he had broken the news of the late Queen’s death.
[…]This created an “enduring cognitive dissonance and low self-esteem”, which was “compounded by a sense of being inferior” by not getting into Oxford University and going to Cardiff instead and “being therefore something of an outsider at the BBC”.

A woman who was being tortured inside wrote a note begging Iraq to bomb the prison:
spoiler
BAGHDAD, 23 May 2004 — The scandal at Abu Ghraib prison was first exposed not by a digital photograph but by a letter. In December 2003, a woman prisoner inside the jail west of Baghdad managed to smuggle out a note. Its contents were so shocking that, at first, Amal Kadham Swadi and the other Iraqi women lawyers who had been trying to gain access to the US jail found them hard to believe. The note claimed that US guards had been raping women detainees, who were, and are, in a small minority at Abu Ghraib. Several of the women were now pregnant, it added. The women had been forced to strip naked in front of men, it said. The note urged the Iraqi resistance to bomb the jail to spare the women further shame.
