There’s an interesting blog that analyzes the transition of political economy from medieval europe to the rise of capital through a perspective of the mechanics of occult practices. It’s pretty well thought out and compares church occult practices and their relations to “capital occultism” via social relations and rituals.

This post is about how money aka capital is transmuted to embody commodified labor value in a similar structure of social relations (“occult magic”) as the holy cracker being consecrated and transmuted to embody the flesh of Jesus Christ.

The previous post is also quite good that covers the concept of Marx’s “real god” that is manifested via the capital imperative to continuously increase profit and accumulation.

Why does that matter to you at all? He obviously supports Israel in spite of all the genocide. Why does his hasbara definition make you believe he is just “confused”? It’s equivalent to the “just following orders” defense, except he was the leader of a country sending weapons to be used in genocide. How can you absolve that just because he acts the fool? WTAF.

Supporting genocide while being a fucking moron is not a redemption. WTF is wrong with you.

Bottled stuff, and there’s various grades of matcha powder quality, and it matters more when doing the simple recipe.

I’m going to start mining in datacenters.

So like bitcoin?

Nah, this is different thing.

As long as the Ukrainazis are dying instead of our own military in the fight for “western values”, I will support them. It’s just so cost-effective and logical.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he is a Zionist and believes in the rights of Jewish people. Speaking at the National Forum on Combatting anti-Semitism, he said no one in the country should be afraid to label themselves as such.

“The increasingly common deafening indifference toward or even rationalisation of rising anti-Semitism is not normal. The term Zionist increasingly being tossed around as a pejorative, in spite of the fact that it simply means believing in the right of Jewish people, like all people, to determine their own future, is not normal,” he said.

PM Justin Trudeau says “no one in Canada should ever be afraid to call themselves Zionists, I am a Zionist”

Is that clearly genocidal enough for your high bar?

Two things can be true at the same time.

It’s supposedly chemically similar to matcha green tea because you ingest some quantity of the leaves much like matcha. The plant leaves contain different chemicals that regulate caffeine uptake in sort of similar but different ways.

Yerba mate typically contains 70–90 mg of caffeine per serving, depending on the product and how it’s brewed. In loose-leaf form or in products like Unimate, that amount can go even higher—especially if is highly concentrated extract. Yerba mate also contains theobromine, a compound found in dark chocolate that provides a smooth, mood-enhancing energy boost without the spikes and crashes associated with coffee.

Matcha green tea, by comparison, delivers around 30–70 mg of caffeine per serving, depending on how much powder you use. But what makes matcha unique is its high content of L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm, focused alertness. The result is a gentler energy curve that supports mental clarity and reduces stress, making it a favorite among those seeking a more mindful boost.

I’ve never had the traditional yerba mate, but I’ve used matcha powder and non-traditional yerba mate, and they are indeed smoother caffeine delivery than regular coffee of tea.
