Meanwhile, in #Pakistan:
“This year's theme focused on the Feminist History of Pakistan, honouring the women who defied the military dictatorship of General Zia-ul-Haq by organizing a public demonstration in Lahore on February 12, 1983, despite martial law regulations that banned all political activities, processions, and public protests.”

In 2013, #ChineseMining company #Chinalco (中国铝业集团有限公司) sparked an international conversation about extractive impacts with the news it had successfully relocated an entire #Peruvian town of 5,000 residents to clear space for a #CopperMine. At the time, the #relocation project in #Morococha, central #Peru, was touted as a solution to protect villagers from #pollution and #environmental degradation as a result of #mining practices, and as a potential template for #Chinese overseas #investment in #LatinAmerica.
Ten years later, experts describe the move as a “tragedy.”
Joselyn Jaua, a Peruvian #journalist who covers the #environment and communities in the region, explained to #GlobalVoices that Chinalco’s policies have deeply impacted both Old Morococha and New Morococha: “The rise of poverty is notorious for relocated and non-relocated people alike.”

A Chinese mining company relocated a whole Peruvian town. Now, they are struggling to survive.
#Copper is one of the resources that will be in #shortage in the near future (10+ years), and #Peru is one of the country with the most copper (Chili, China, Peru). #China knows about the copper shortage and is currently accumulating it.

"JR Central’s president admitted that #maglev won’t turn a profit domestically"
"the Linear will...[use] 3 to 4 times as much energy per person to power as the current Tōkaidō Shinkansen"

“Although the participants mostly demand that their relatives are sent back home from the front, they are saying that ‘we do not want and do not ask to exchange our mobilized relatives for someone else [to be sent to the front lines]. We want demobilization!’”

Seine Geschichte eignet sich für eine Verfilmung: Prak Pheaktra floh aus der Armut in #Kambodscha nach #Thailand. Dort erfuhr er als einfacher Arbeiter Missbrauch und Ausbeutung. Er arbeitete sich hoch, wurde Khmer-Dolmetscher, studierte dann Jura und berät nun ausgebeutete Arbeiter*innen pro bono.
Das missfällt sowohl Kambodscha als auch Thailand, er wird von beiden Ländern schikaniert. #RechtAufArbeit, Art. 23 #AEMR

“#NewBloom’s members broadly see themselves as part of the political left, drawing from #Marxism, #Anarchism, #Feminism, and #QueerTheory. There is no specific political line to the publication, but there is a general commitment to a sense of radical politics that questions the fundamental structural inequalities of society and calls for a vision of social transformation that goes to the roots of society.” #Asia #Taiwan #Politics cc: @newbloommag @globalvoices https://globalvoices.org/2023/10/16/new-bloom-a-rare-leftist-media-voice-in-taiwan/

Yet the decent human minority of russians *should* find ways to resist their violent regime, regardless of the risks.
Yes there are the occasional news of apparent sabotage — which especially the russian state's victims appreciate — but other acts of civil disobedience seem nonexistent.
I feel for (and even admire) those people who managed to turn out good despite the circumstances of what is the russian cesspool, but that deranged empire is incompatible with post-medieval times.
Despots across continents are joining forces to eradicate the civil liberties of modernity. russia is a founding belligerent in that project until many enough russians stop it.

Yes, these terms are not satisfactory, as they always define somewhat first "the other"…
However, this discussion is going on for a very long time in cultural circles and the most common denominator we could agree upon is to utilize these terms positively and inclusive.
