Brutal images coming from Rafah. Children the age of my nephew are shown with their head and limbs blown of. People burned to coal. Not a word from the West. No peacekeeper mission.

I will never be able to function in this society ever again.

this is the stuff that the zionists lied about to shake the western media with, remember the burned baby AI pic? remember Biden saying 40 beheaded babies?

There's this Dutch politician for the Green/Labour fusion, actually he's the leader, that went on tv after October 7th saying that 'we' are the culture of life and 'they' (Hamas/Palestinians) are the culture of death. He's suspiciously quiet these days.

We don't have an USSR to save our asses this time, and the US is siding with the nazis. Yup, history is repeating, as an ever worse tragedy.

Let's hope the Arab league manages to kick Isn'treal's ass, the footage from today was terrifying.

So our party keeps joining school debates in which politicians go to school and debate in front of the students. Our reps regularly not beat but just annihilate the competition with like 60% of the student votes ✊🏼

Sounds like the kids are alright.

The job of an accountant boils down to figure out how to avoid paying taxes / launder money, and it is a highly respected job in our current society 😬

I just added some stickers to my laptop, what do you all think?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

wait we have lemmygrad stickers?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (14 children)

No I printed the sticker myself. Selling Lemmygrad stickers is a good idea though.

How many fights have you started with that GNU Nano sticker? Seems like a fun ("fun"?) way to make new friends and enemies.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Zero so far because I mostly use this laptop for trying new distros and it has barely ever left my house. If I did take it outside it would be extremely unlikely for anybody to mention it because I doubt many people in my town even know what a text editor is, let alone GNU nano.

I met a woman at the grocery store who wanted to chat. She justified me being out of a job as "ohh you'll find another you're a workaholic like me" and paraphrasing "not like all those lazy Poor's ".

I told her I believe that most are doing the best they can and that we should help those in need if we have the ability too.

She tells me I should read this book "the power of positive thinking" (obviously it's about gas lighting yourself). I told her I prefer to feel my anger about what's wrong and direct it in the direction it needs to go to make real change.

She then proceeds to talk about people less fortunate that she has helped. People who can't care for themselves, her kids who don't make enough money to pay bills.....

Point is:

It's interesting hearing the contradictions someone has to make to justify the world we live in.. Well, to see it in the wild anyway.

I don't know how likely it is that we can change someone like that's perspective, but at least folks around us heard the one who is angry is also the positive one and makes good points. Thought I would share some organic praxis I engaged in today

Best of luck out there

Almost arrested today at a Palestine demonstration but managed to escape through an alleyway. We were just going to the square where there was an Israel demonstration. But they were at the other end of the square and weren't even close to us. Demonstrators got closed off by the police at one of the entrances to the square. Then they were arrested.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What happened? Didn't even know about the protest until I saw vids of police violence (again).

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

We were marching from the American consulate to the Dam and we were blocked in Kalverstraat, but half of us managed to escape and the others were locked in by the cops and arrested. The rest was supporting the locked in ones by chanting and shouting at the police. But because of this we couldn't do our counter protest. Like always, no matter how well we protested, the cops won in the end. Although they did need a lot of cops for that. I think that we really need to get more people to join the protests, then there's a higher chance we'll win. We should invite other people when going to a protest

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

If all the cops are at the rally.... Who's at the police station ;)

I can't wait for my vacation. I'm feeling burnt out pretty badly.

I am reading Che on the train to work at the Union. Why yes I am a communist, why'd you ask?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The fun thing about working at a union is that every week it's a gamble to see which supplier they are fighting with. A while ago the Union had beef with Coca Cola because of some issues in their distribution center and we didn't have sodas for for a week or two. Now the vending machines are taped shut because of the Israel boycott.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Fuck I'd love to see some of this in Poland. But nope, best you get is Solidarność stepping in to save the business side or some tiny actions by Związkowa Alternatywa, who are knee deep in shit with lawsuits, or by Inicjatywa Pracownicza who are currently occupying a dormitory of Uniwersytet Jagielloński...

Fucking beef that renders vending machines non existent because of Israel. What a dream.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Solidarność

xi-pain

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Solidarność still exists?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

And has a monopolistic stranglehold on unionization in Poland. It's closest equivalent I'd say is the American AFL-CIO.

Capitalism has programmed me in such a way that I am scared to call in sick for 1 day. I may have been breathing in mold for weeks now and my lungs decided to stop functioning now and even though my manager said it's fine I still think to myself: no, I can't call in sick it's not that bad and I have work to do.

Thanks, will see a doctor this evening and probably get meds, should be okay

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (9 children)

Will probably (and justifiably) get this comment removed as it's not on topic of AES Generals, but this photo of Chavez and Castro just slaps

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

I ought to remove this, however you complimented the photo I chose, so I will let this one slide... just this once

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just noticed that, do all posts have that part?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

No I think they just add funny hidden things for people to notice

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

We made some cards with the faces of our representatives on them. Like those Panini football cards style.

Thing is, our reps are pretty much local people. Teachers, workers, some social media figures, etc. They are a huge hit lol. Everyone wants a card of their local rep it seems. I heard they were even used as some trading cards in some schools.

Reading “the ethnic cleaning of Palestine”. It’s a really good book in case anyone wants to learn more about Palestine and its occupation by the Zionist entity.

Arguing with zios is so fucking exhausting

The second I see “Canada” I physically recoil lol, I can already imagine the absolute travesty in what you linked 🥶

Edit: I briefly looked at it and all I can think is “why the fuck is this blatant hate subreddit allowed to exist?” I thought hate speech and shit wasn’t allowed on Reddit, haven’t certain subs been banned because of it (like r/thedonald or whatever)? Also the internalized racism in this person is so…

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

this whole subreddit is mindfuck

Reminder that if you’re a Westerner and especially a US American and don’t read black, latine, indigenous, etc. revolutionaries, you’re a poor socialist.

All the Trump shit will do is rile his base and make the dems more complacent, right?
