One of the most interesting aspects of a declining empire is the anxiety it creates in those administrating it. There are many factions seeking to undo the decline and they all disagree heavily on how to go about that, the result of this division is that they are tearing it apart even more.

NGOs have nothing to do with this. The NGOs are vessels for colour revolution and foreign interference. The crackdown was because they were being used to steer the country towards nato. There is fundamentally nothing stopping these curbs on rights happening with those NGOs around too, and lgbt rights in Georgia aren't an effective vessel for colour rev either.

I think Iran really does not want to get involved directly. They will do everything they can indirectly.

The reason for this is their lack of nukes as a deterrent against a US campaign against their mainland. Until they've got that I really can't see them acting directly.

US mobilisation is occurring. Ignore the bullshit about evacuations, the fleet will be used as a floating base for special forces operations to deploy from under the cover story of evacuations.

If there was a future worth planning for they might behave differently. What's the point in saving up cash or buying a house or having kids when during education you've sat in classrooms discussing the upcoming literal end of the world through climate change?

All these kids have looked at the evidence for it and come to this conclusion.

No flaws. 9/10

Maybe a little too subtle on the lgbt themes but I also kinda enjoy it in a "I can understand what that means!" kind of way that makes you feel clever. Could have developed more characters with 2 cours instead of 1.

Should be compared to A Place Further than the Universe. I'd say Jellee's characters are slightly more mature and feel more real though.

Loved it.

Show is Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai - Jellyfish can't swim in the night

Probably spoilers. Last warning.

spoilerHere: https://yorukura.fandom.com/wiki/Kiui_Watase

I did this based on this scene from episode 11: https://streamable.com/oq226r

Comrade Kiui is FtM.

Not only that but his name "Watase" splits into "Wata" which means "crossing" or "ferry," often used in Japanese names to imply traversing a river or similar feature, hinting at transitions or change. While "se" meaning "rapids" or "change" is also another blatantly huge clue.

I haven't worked out what Kiui might reference, it's written in Katakana and some think it's the Kiwi bird. I don't know if this is related or not, someone else might.

QED

In the past few days I've had several replies that have not pinged a "unread" notification and do not show up in the unread page.

They do show up in all on the inbox, but I never use that.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is it a known issue to devs?

https://www.taylorwessing.com/en/insights-and-events/insights/2024/01/employees-participation-in-corporate-governance-under-the-revised-chinese-company-law

I posted this in the news mega the other day but it deserves its own post. This law was signed in December but was apparently missed by most socialists. It goes into effect on July 1st.

Some snippets and explanations:

Article 17(2) of the Revised Company Law now stipulates that the assembly of employee representatives shall be the basic form of the democratic corporate governance system and that this shall apply to all companies. That means, regardless of whether a company is private or state-owned, whether it is a limited liability or a stock corporation. This is a notable development, as democratic corporate governance as a requirement for all companies is set out in national law for the first time.

A new organ is required in all companies called the Employee Assembly. It is democratic in nature.

An enterprise shall decide whether to convene an assembly of employee representatives or an assembly of all employees according to the Provisions on Democratic Governance of Enterprises, relevant local regulations, and subject to the number of its employees. In general, an enterprise with 100 or more employees shall convene an assembly of employee representatives; an enterprise with fewer than 100 employees should convene an assembly of all employees. An assembly of employee representatives (or an assembly of all employees, the “Employee Assembly”) is an organ for employees to exercise their power of democratic governance of the enterprise.

It is made up of all employees in companies below 100 members, or representatives are elected in companies above 100 members.

The trade union of an enterprise is the executive organ of its Employee Assembly and is responsible for the daily work of the Employee Assembly.

Cool

An Employee Assembly shall be convened at least once a year, and more than two-thirds of the employee representatives must be present at the plenary session of an Employee Assembly. Elections and votes on relevant matters at an Employee Assembly require a majority of all employee representatives.

Very cool

an Employee Assembly shall usually exercise the following powers and functions:

(I) Listening to the reports from the main persons responsible for the enterprise on the enterprise’s development planning, annual production and operation management, enterprise reform and formulation of major rules and regulations, employment issues, conclusion and implementation of labor contracts and collective contracts, production safety, and payment of social insurance premiums and housing provident funds; and making comments and suggestions thereon;

(II) Deliberating the rules and regulations or major proposals formulated, amended or adopted by the enterprise which may directly affect the immediate interests of its employees, such as remuneration, working hours, rest and vacation, occupational safety and health, insurance and welfare, employee training, labor discipline, and the management of labor quotas; and making comments and suggestions thereon;

(III) Deliberating and adopting the draft collective contracts, the plan for the use of the employees’ welfare fund drawn down in accordance with the relevant national regulations, the plan for adjusting the rate and timing of the payment of housing provident funds and social insurance premiums, the recommendation of candidates for model employees and other important matters;

(IV) Electing or dismissing employee directors and employee supervisors, electing employee representatives to meetings of creditors and creditors’ committees of the enterprise subject to bankruptcy proceedings in accordance with the law, and recommending or electing management personnel of the enterprise as authorized;

(V) Reviewing and monitoring the implementation of labor laws and regulations and labor rules by the enterprise, democratically evaluating the leaders of the enterprise, and making recommendations on rewards and punishments; and

(VI) Such other powers and functions as may be provided by laws or regulations.

Powers = Having access to all information of the company at every level, which is very important to worker benefits and ensuring labour law is being followed. Also the dismissing of directors, supervisors, managers, and electing representatives to meetings of creditors. In companies over 300 employees elected-members of the employee assembly must be elected to the board of directors.


China has made all companies worker-controlled. I would show this article to anyone that claims otherwise. This is worker democracy.

China is still a dictatorship of the proletariat.

I argued here that the whole HP shit was worth it because it was going to imprint in the consciousness and brew beneath the surface. Libs see it as tainted and that shit isn't going away. There are real moral concerns bothering them deep down.

The long term effect is good.
