Nitter link for those without twitter accounts (amazingly that nitter instance still works).

I was hoping someone had translated what they were saying; no, though. Not a total loss, as some of the answers are pretty funny. For example, one says Decolonial ASMR.

Quick outline:

• Nobody knows where the prime minister (Ariel Henry, as an aside possibly involved in the assassination of the Haitian president in 2021) is.
• Rumors were he was in Kenya, or the US, or some coffee-themed festival in France, but he appears to be in none of those places.
• Major airports are being closely watched by the population for his presence, as well as several regional airports.
• The protests that started about a month back haven't piped down at all, quite the reverse, and he's the main target of the anger. As usual with large scale movements in Haiti, Port-au-Prince is the epicenter.
• This is despite large scale repression of such protests, including on occasion with live ammunition.
• They go on to describe specific instances of repression around February 7th (note: historically the date on which the Duvalier regime fell), where large scale use of teargas and dispersion grenades maimed several people; the previous prime minister, Claude Joseph, had to take refuge into a nearby slum.
• They then describe how Guy Philippe, widely considered the spearhead of the ongoing movement against the current interim government - and a revolutionary, imprisoned at one point by the US years ago - managed to reach the capital discreetly - specifically by booking a flight ostensibly then spending the night crossing in a small boat instead.
• They go on to describe this event, where five members of the BSAP (basically initially members of an Environmental ministry which are now armed and a major part of the ongoing protests) were gunned down in a car following a protest, apparently without provocation. Their bodies were then put into a mass grave.
• The article concludes by saying a major local org connected to the military (AMH, Association for the Haitian Military) warned the current interim government when that event occurred, though their wording is lukewarm.

As for your question:

Revolutiion happening in Haiti??

It's impossible to answer but it sure looks like things are moving fast over there.

The article you linked is also part 2 of a two-part (thus far) series; here is part 1.

I think if they wanted to sink a ship right now, they absolutely could.

This is exactly what I've been suspecting and why I asked; and also, I halfway expect, the reason why half the EU countries immediately pulled out of the initial operation lead by the US weeks ago (even if sometimes keeping some assets there independently) - they realized they could very well loose a very expensive ship and even worse, a very expensive "strong navy" image in the useless and very uncertain venture.

Indeed, I imagine the general position in Yemen is "keep impacting the colonialist entity's commerce", but until the empire itself escalates, they won't.

This whole thing, as well as the Ukraine war, has been incredibly eye-opening about both modern (look at how many drones are constantly in the Ukrainian skies) and asymmetric war, and the imagined strength of the military of the capitalist entities.

A joke.

No, everything has to be serious at all times and we cannot find any humor in the absurdity of hell world. The last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991. I wear a dirty ushanka at all times, do not shave, and only take cold sponge baths because hot running water is bourgeoisie decadence. Every day at exactly noon I have the same meal of an expired Maoist MRE I store in a pit covered in old issues of a revolutionary newspaper. I sleep in a bed made of flags from every failed revolution so that they are never forgotten. In the evenings I stare at a picture of vodka by candlelight, but I do not allow myself to drink because there is nothing to celebrate. Every local org has banned me after I attempted to split it by assassinating the leadership. There is no plumbing in my house I shit in a brass bucket with a picture of Gonzalo and Deng french kissing in the bottom of it. My house is actually an overturned T34 in an abandoned junkyard in Wisconsin. I have a single friend in this world and it is a tapeworm named Bordiga that I met after ingesting spoiled borscht on 9/11 in the ruins of building 7 (I blew it up after finding that a nominally leftist NGO inside of it wasn’t sufficiently anti-imperialist, the attacks on the world trade center were a perfect revolutionary moment for me to enact direct praxis against liberalism). My source of income is various MLM schemes in the former soviet bloc that have been running for so long no one remembers who I am, they just keep sending money. I have not paid taxes since McGovern lost the Democratic nomination for president and my faith in electoralism died more brutally than my childhood dog after it got into an entire jar of tylenol. I own 29 fully automatic rusted kalashnikovs and three crates of ammunition entirely incompatible with them or any other firearms I own. My double PHD in marxist economics and 18th century Swiss philosophy (required to understand Engels) sits over the fireplace of my home, my fireplace is a salvaged drum from a 1950s washing machine that was recalled for locking children inside of it. I chose that washing machine model on purpose because I am anti-natalist. During the latest BLM protests I firebombed a Nikes outlet in the middle of a peaceful candlelit vigil. William F Buckley and I wrote hatemail to one another for 47 years until my final letter gave him an aneurysm. The only water I drink is from puddles. George Lucas and I dropped acid together during an MKULTRA southern baptist summer camp and he went on to write the movie Willow about our time together. The best way to test whether an electrical wire is live is to drool on it and shrimp salad is racist. You can make an IED out of potassium and the instructions are online thanks to Timothy McVey, who was actually a committed antifascist communist slandered by the deep state as part of operation condor. Every time a liberal files a restraining order against me, I carve a mark into the wall. I am running out of walls. When Amerika finally collapses I will be ready to lead the revolution. I am very smart and people like being around me.

Bedbug infestations have little to do with sanitation or hygiene

The main factors here IIRC are increased travel from people and increasing resistance by the bugs to insecticides

The whole country has become obsessed with bedbugs for a week or so, like front page news. This is after a series of videos that went viral showing them indeed in the subway and in a cinema.

It's probably overreaction but frankly if it results in the gov doing something against these hellish things I'll take it.

Also you will likely be unsurprised to learn that the usual suspects have immediately blamed the issue on immigration.

This bacteria eats only one type of plastic (PET), and that's a minority of the plastic we produce

Related, half of the plastic pollution in the oceans is fishing nets; want less plastic in the environment, stopping fishing would be a better first step (and is required for many other reasons anyway)

A homeless person is without the mental structure to build something lasting, or else they would not be homeless or would identify differently, e.g. as a traveler.

You're a truly disgusting ghoul

A year ? really ? what the fuck

You are correct, this is part of a series of laws over the past decade specifically aimed at muslims in France, and it indeed issues from racism

But also:

Those girls are the victims

lmao, wearing an abaya is not "being a victim", it's a fucking dress

How about just letting the girls wear whatever the fuck they want to wear

They started the whole conflict out of a desire to expand their arbitrary lines in the sand to include ukrainian territory.

Why do you think Russia invaded, exactly ? they started the whole conflict after decades of making NATO encroachment along their borders a clear red line and being very clear what would happen if it was crossed

The US still kept meddling in Ukraine (and other post-soviet states), with Russia making every effort short of war to try and stop that - like offering loans just as large as the IMF loans for example, except without asking for the batshit insane austerity measures the latter did

Then the CIA backed a far-right coup there in 2014, and much of the following years were spent with NATO financing and training nazi soldiers there in preparation of trying to take back Crimea, while breaking the Minsk agreements in the meantime (I'll pass on the various atrocities and huge reframing of nazi criminals as national heroes in Ukraine there at the same period, since it's barely related, but it is worth a mention too)

Now both Ukrainian and Russian people are dying. A peace deal would stop that.
