starbucks is a union busting corporation that can be hated for that but this whole "starbucks funds genocide" thing is genuinely approaching being a case of mass psychogenic illness

If the faculty at Columbia don't go on strike in protest you might as well close down the university

cholets deserve to go viral every so often because they're gorgeous, but this thread gets everything about them wrong. they're not public housing, they're multi-use buildings/personal homes built by wealthy Aymara families in a style created by architect Freddy Mamani

The single greatest and most fascinating “futurist” architecture movement in the world right now is happening in Bolivia, where national prosperity and a dedication to works for the poor and public housing led to an explosion of colorful styles inspired by Aymara Indian art.

Ngl. As soon as they found that oil reserve off the coast of Venezuela we already knew what was up. these mfs are vultures.
Readers added context
The offshore reserves in question belong to neighbouring Guyana, which Venezuela has threatened to annex multiple times. In addition, Venezuela has been known to have the largest proven oil reserves in the world since the early 20th century. apnews.com/article/guyana… amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/02/09…

Can confirm somewhat, middle and upper class Bolivians tend to have a way more realistic view of the US than the majority who uncritically believe propaganda and movies.

i think it's actually quite anti-semitic and vile how often Zionist histories of Judaism erase the actual social history of Jewish communities in Europe before+just after the holocaust to excuse european anti-semitism + tacitly concede the point that Jews never belonged in Europe
