What being rich and alienated from real people does to a MF.
You see the same thing with silicon valley ceos.
The silver lining to Trump 2.0 is that mainstream liberal news is finally covering what anarchists have been trying to tell the rest of society about for decades.
Ah yes the checks notes propaganda of admitting that the opposition also bombs the middle east, marginally less so than the far right.

My view is if I have a friend with a machine or there’s a community center or something with one I’ll absolutely use it for many projects.

Ah yes, I’m a tankie because I acknowledge the fact academia is dominated by the west? And therefore western epistemologies are favoured.
I hope people stop using tankie as a meaningless word like in this case. And actually for its original meaning, which is so called “communists” who support the brutal repression of states like the soviet union and china. Which I do not.
Well personally I can’t because I’m functionally deafmute.
But anyways this is all beside my original point which was that published academia doesn’t contain all of human knowledge.
Not every human knowledge is written ;)
All of human knowledge is not encoded into academia.

Whether they mean anything, or ever meant anything, is the question.
To be fair there’s a bit of nuance like Winnie the Pooh isn’t outright banned you can buy merch and stuff in China. But obviously anything that has a whiff of Xi criticism is straight to jail, so in that sense many instances of Winnie the Pooh used in ways that could signal dissent is very much surveilled and cracked down upon.
In any case Dessalines being a power tripping ML censor as usual.
