im eating sambal oelek rn, from Huy Fong Foods, I like to put it on my eggs. Its a little different from a classic hot sauce tho. I also use Frank's Red Hot a lot.

I think it was just couple well-intentioned globe hopping white guys who found out about some stuff going on in Uganda that no one is the US really knew about. They come back, and start making this their "thing" and it becomes fucking huge.

But I think they then found themselves unable to manage this huge movement they created, and they found that the issue they had gotten into was a lot more complex than LRA bad let's just catch Kony. And so it just became super stressful, the Invisible Children people were not prepared to handle how big their movement got, and now they were dealing with navigating the US government and navigating relations between countries, and it all became to stressful and the guy just had a bit of a breakdown due to all the stress.

So it was just a bunch of well-intentioned white libs who took on more than they could handle, dived into an issue without fully understanding it, then found themselves at the forefront of that issue leading a whole movement, and just couldn't take the stress and so then the guy finds himself having a breakdown in public which included public masturbation.

Peru!

In Peru we have...

  • 4000 varieties of potatoes
  • quinoa
  • choclo, a large kernel variety of field corn that is often eaten toasted and salted
  • ceviche everywhere
  • Chifa, or Peruvian-Chinese cuisine, such as Lomo Saltado
  • Cuy (sorry vegetarians)
  • a variety of alcoholic drinks, such as chicha and pisco sour (which can be turned into a coca sour by using the coca leaf)
  • and Inca Kola, such a popular soft drink that it beat out Coke for the Peruvian market

Request for a Nicaragua struggle session (hexbear.net)
 

Hello, this is a formal request for a Nicaragua struggle session.

I have seen some support Ortega, I have seen some say he's become more of a neoliberal. Many former FSLN leaders have criticized him. There are also the ongoing protests.

I am not familiar with Nicaraguan politics too much, so I am hoping people can help me to understand the situation there.

Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein. It doesn't really indict capitalism (instead it does the whole crony capitalism thing), but it's very critical of American foreign policy and of neoliberalism. And I don't think it would take too much to make the jump from that book to a full on leftism.
