Oh, and if Hexbears are libs, then I must be the libiest of all libs

However, if you’re anti-communist, I’ll be anti-anti-communist, just like how conservatives are anti-antifa

  • What, so you’re saying:

    Westerners need to fantasize less about the complete reorganization of society into something utterly unrecognizable and focus more on how to take control over the ugliness that already exists so that they can chart a better course for their countries, as China has.

    That being said, it’s a huge stretch to compare it to social fascism. While it is political in nature, I feel its merits lie more as a literary and artistic counterbalance to dystopian worldbuilding in the west

    Honestly, taking it as its worst, an aesthetic artistic movement is based on aesthetic, and frankly I don’t see a lot of harm in that, at all, but it’s not good if one is stuck on it, as an end-all

    I think its role is similar to that of religion, albeit more benign

    Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

    The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

    Kourittenga: 35 actors equipped on feminism and gender-based violence

    Koupéla, July 11, 2025 (AIB) - The Coalition to Act Against Gender-Based Violence (Faso CAC-VBG) provided training on feminism and gender-based violence to more than thirty stakeholders from partner associations, the media, and technical departments of ministries from Wednesday, July 9 to Friday, July 11, 2025, in Koupéla. This workshop was held with the financial support of Feminist Opportunities Now (FON).

    The training workshop held from Wednesday 9 to Friday 11 July 2025 in Koupéla, is part of the implementation of its project “Advocacy for the improvement of the framework for the prevention and management of gender-based violence in Burkina Faso”.

    35 actors from partner associations, the media and technical departments of ministries have seen their skills strengthened on issues related to feminism and gender-based violence in all its forms.

    Eugène SOME, head of projects and monitoring and evaluation at the Organization for New Initiatives in Development and Health (ONIDS), said this workshop was intended to contribute to strengthening the capacities of stakeholders on gender-based violence and to be able to communicate the identity of feminism to communities in a suitable and fair manner.

    “At the end of this training workshop, we expect participants to take concrete actions to raise awareness on a large scale on issues related to gender, gender-based violence and feminism,” he said.

    Participants expressed their willingness to act as relays and to continue raising awareness among communities.

    “We are well informed about gender-based violence in all its forms and about the concept of feminism, something that will allow us to convey accurate and appropriate words related to these themes for the benefit of communities,” one of the participants suggested.

    The Coalition to Act Against Gender-Based Violence (Faso CAC_VBG) brings together ONIDS, the Young Women’s Initiative for Development (IJFAD), the Elles du Sahel Network in Burkina (EDS) and the Teeg-Wendé Association of Internally Displaced Women of Gourma (ATFDI).

    It operates in the Centre-East, Centre and East regions.
