China’s youth are embracing Mao's message
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2021/07/10/asia-pacific/china-mao-zedong-youth/

 

'Chinese technology workers are often expected to work 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week, a practice so common that they call it “996.” Du’s schedule was worse. After he slept only five hours over three days late last year, his heart raced, he was short of breath and he grew sluggish. He quit shortly after. He hasn’t looked for a job in three months and seldom ventures outside. A doctor diagnosed mild depression.'

 

“Most of my peers I know still want to succeed,” Du said. “We’re simply against exploitation and meaningless striving.”

 

Wasn't there a guy on the Right years ago that warned that if you exploit people, and leave them with no help that you're forcing them into accepting Communism because they have no choice? I would probably be angry if the world used me to create "cheap sweaty goods" too. Capitalists and Communists working together needs to stop.

Witnesses: George Floyd mural at Summit and Lagrange destroyed by lightning strike

A sign?

I like how just the heart of the mural was destroyed and the brickwork either side (and the roof above it) escaped the wrath of the bolt.

 

A very specific strike.

Divine intervention.💗

Lightning strikes Berlin"s TV Tower in transfixing display

 

 

 

I was thinking more about Jesus than Zeus @EnigmaticWorld

 

And now this in Germany. Floods kill hundreds

 

Ever hopeful for some divine intervention, because atm the world looks fucking doomed.

Agreed. And it's okay, I don't believe in Zeus. It's just banter.

 

I like the aesthetics of ancient European things, but that's all.

Course the MSM and the EU are spinning this as a "climate crisis". So new draconian measures to be invented and introduced, no doubt. Trebles all around, mes amis!
