Marx's Capital mentions at one point that the working class in Manchester were reliant on drugs like opium to cope with their insane working conditions and poor life/housing conditions.
It's not a new thing at all.
The spectrum of autism isn't mild to disabling.
It's a spectrum of presenting symptoms. What "functional autism" is, is a constellation of symptoms that means you can just about navigate the world as expected by neurotypical people. "Non-functioning" autism or "profound" autism are where the constellation of symptoms makes you unable to function in the world. This is more often than not inclusive of non-verbal autisms and poor motor control autisms.
"Functional" autism can be disabling for the individual in certain conditions - they may be completely unable to read social cues, or be severely impacted by certain stimulatory environments.

The "functionality is entirely reliant on the US". I.e. in order for Trident to function we need missiles from the US to carry the atomic warheads and we need to spend money every few years to replace old and out of date missiles. If the US decided to stop selling us the missiles Trident would cease to function. Ergo they have outsized control over our nuclear deterrent.
Trident's functionality is entirely reliant on the US.
Our nuclear deterrent is the US's nuclear deterrent but it's parked in Scotland to have access to Russia's western front.
Article is complete nonsense from the jump.
When the west give as much of a shit about the Muslims in their own countries as they do Muslims in China I'll give these clowns a modicum of time.
Absolute insane suggestion that completely ignores the reasons why Russia invaded Ukraine in the first place.
Looking forward to the rest of the Chinese century 🫡
The last time any of those things were won by the working class they had come home angry and fed up fighting a war, and were ready to demand at least some concessions from the ruling class. These concessions were granted because the capitalists were terrified that an even angrier working class that knew how to use weapons and fight in an army would lead to a 1917 Russian revolution situation.
Until the same style of conditions exist I don't think the working class are in any kind of place to just demand better from the capitalist class. Hopefully the next time we don't just accept a bribe and let the next generation(s) eat shit while lapping it up.
More likely just plain old US assets tbh.
If Russia had all this intel on these old fucks then they'd have released it already.
I appreciate that books are a bit harder to read than Wikipedia pages, but I really do recommend it.
I'll be less glib: liberalism was used to justify French slave ownership too. It also has been the justification for global interventionist policy by the imperial core. "Bringing liberal democracy to dictatorships."

Me when my country still has lynchings of black and brown people, had horrific racial discrimination during the worst of the USSRs excesses, has the highest per capita incarceration rate of overwhelmingly black and indigenous people, is responsible in part for the deaths of over 1 million Iraqis, put Japanese Americans in concentration camps during WW2 just in case they were spies, genocided their native population and still effectively operates apartheid for the remaining natives, supports the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, locked up and tortured MENA people without trial post 9/11 in an offshore torture camp, ran black sites all across Iraq and Afghanistan doing more torture of brown people and on and on and on and on and on and on....
